Leading UK based system integrator Sysco has completed an extensive audio-visual interactive work in the new Darwin Centre at London’s Natural History Museum, with BSS Audio Soundweb components providing the entire digital audio networking backbone.
The £78 million Darwin Centre, a brand new extension to the museum, occupies a spectacular eight-storey-high concrete Cocoon suspended within a glass outer box. It allows museum visitors and scientists to share for the first time the excitement of exploring, studying and preserving the natural world.
Soundweb feeds nearly 30 exhibits site-wide from PC’s, Macs, HD video or local input panels — some exhibits requiring up to four separate sources. Soundweb can also switch between exhibition audio and presentation mode (for example with demonstrations using a visualiser).
About The Darwin Centre
The Darwin Centre represents the future for the Natural History Museum as a world leader in researching the burning issues facing humans and the natural world. It opens the doors on the Natural History Museum’s life as a major science infrastructure where, by using the Museum’s internationally important collections, scientists deliver research that has a global impact; develop tools for the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources worldwide and research issues such as disease, climate change and threats to the Earth’s biodiversity.
