Northview Public Schools Choose BenQ Boards for District Classrooms
BenQ, an internationally renowned provider of visual display solutions, has announced that Northview Public Schools in Grand Rapids, Michigan, has purchased and is installing BenQ Board smart boards for classrooms throughout the school district. The district investment includes 189 BenQ RP03 Series BenQ Boards. Designed to integrate into any teaching approach or materials, BenQ Boards include one-tap NFC log-in to instantly load lesson materials; interactive teaching tools for more hands-on lessons; germ-resistant screen, pen, and remote; split windows for multitasking; array microphones, 16W speakers, and 16W Dolby Digital Plus surround sound for lesson clarity in class and online; InstaShare wireless screen sharing; and new Eyesafe® technology for reducing blue light emissions. It’s also the first display from BenQ to include an air ionizer. This is the second large deployment of BenQ boards within Michigan this year, with Ypsilanti Community Schools purchasing 311 panels in April.
“What sets BenQ Boards apart is that they complement what teachers are already doing with future-ready interactive tools that get kids engaged, but with next to no learning curve,” said David Grzeskowiak, key partner manager at BenQ America Corp. “As the first deployment of our new RP03 series, this is certainly a great win for BenQ and more importantly, for Northview.”

Blustream Shipping New Platinum 8×8 HDBaseT AV Matrix Combining Versatility With Maximum Performance
Leading AV distribution innovator Blustream announced today that it is shipping its new 4K HDMI 2.0 8×8 Platinum Matrix. The PLA88CS combines the global standard of advanced HDBaseT™ to transmit HDMI, ARC, LAN, and bi-directional IR and RS-232 signals up to lengths of 328 feet in 4K UHD and 492 feet in 1080p over a single CAT cable. It can accommodate displays with various resolutions —downscaling 4K videos for lower-resolution displays while maintaining pristine resolution for UHD displays — and elevates the audio experience across multiple formats.
“The PLA88CS combines an 8×8 video matrix with a 24×16 audio matrix independently controlled from the video for uncompromising performance and versatility,” said Martyn Shirley, Blustream’s General Manager. “And it is unlike any other matrix in its capacity to mix several multiple high-bit-rate audio output formats, thanks to its independent Dolby Audio and DTS Audio downmixing. Between drastically reducing cables, labor, and programming tasks while elevating features to support today’s 4K UHD installations, we are confident that the PLA88CS matrix will provide installers with a stress-free setup that delivers the high-quality viewing and listening experience users demand.”
