Armagh City Hotel

The Brief

The McKeever Group have an ambitious upgrade plan for the Armagh City Hotel. As part of this, the conference rooms and reception area were being modernised — and they asked us to propose a solution that would bring these spaces up to the high standard they were aiming for throughout the hotel.

With multiple entrances and rooms bookable individually or as a group, the hotel had no easy way of communicating which room was being used for a particular function. The reception area also had two previously installed displays that weren't performing well and lacked the visual impact the space deserved.

The Solution

Fluid AV supplied and installed a cloud-based digital signage solution across the entire area, giving the marketing team at McKeever the ability to manage and schedule content remotely from a single platform.

What was installed:

1 - Large digital kiosk — lists each room and its current event, so guests always know exactly where to go. When no events are running, the screen promotes upcoming hotel events and offers.

2 - Per-room displays — a screen outside each room shows the room name and current event, and can be used to market other events when idle.

3 - 2 x 3m LED video walls in the reception area — capable of running digital signage, welcoming companies, and promoting events. Staff can cast directly from a device to the displays for presentations or client-facing content.

4 - Sustainability built in — all screens run on timers and power down completely when not in use, which is especially important for the LED video walls. A simple controller lets staff switch sources and power the walls up and down outside of the scheduled hours.

The Impact

Reception - Now has a real wow factor and visual impact.
Sustainability - Less paper, no printing costs.
Wayfinding - Guests find rooms instantly.
Marketing - More exposure for promotions.
Increased business - The hotel expect to attract more businesses to the hotel.
Ease of use - All screens are managed through one unified platform, making content deployment both convenient and efficient.

Conclusion

The hotel is confident the upgraded reception area will attract high-profile clients going forward. Promoting future events and offers digitally removes the cost and limitations of printed materials that quickly date. Guests see more opportunities, and communication across the hotel is faster and more effective.

Edinburgh Photographic Society

Sarah Hanna — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 16:37:15 +0000

The Brief

The Edinburgh Photographic Society (EPS) regularly hosts guest speakers and presentations in their main exhibition hall, welcoming visitors to showcase photography and promote the Society’s work. However, unreliable AV equipment made this challenging. Presenters struggled to connect devices, share content and manage audio, resulting in time lost to troubleshooting and a less professional experience. In addition, EPS renovated a smaller room, adding a multi-media gallery space. In this space, EPS required a large digital display with the capability to reproduce colours accurately for photographic competition that could double as a video conference call display. The Society asked Fluid AV to modernise the space and deliver a reliable, easy-to-use presentation solution.

The Solution

Fluid AV delivered the project in two phases during 2025. Phase one upgraded the core AV infrastructure, including new speakers, microphones, modern connectivity and a wireless presentation system to simplify content sharing in their main hall. Phase two introduced a new commercial-grade display in their newly renovated gallery, specifically selected for accurate colour reproduction, essential for photographic presentations. Together, these upgrades created a dependable, high-quality presentation environment.

The Impact

The new systems have transformed how the spaces are used. Their new multi-media gallery has featured exhibitions combining physical print and digitally projected photographic art on their new display for public viewings. In addition, the large display is being used for meetings, video calls and review of photographic work on a weekly basis. Presentations in the main hall now run smoothly, with clear audio, effortless content sharing and accurate visual reproduction. Visiting speakers can focus on delivery rather than technology, while audiences enjoy a more professional and engaging experience. The presentation space now fully reflects the quality and reputation of the Edinburgh Photographic Society.

“Fluid AV delivered exactly what we needed. The upgraded system has made our events easier to run and far more enjoyable for both speakers and members. It’s a clear improvement on what we had before and has added real value to the Society.” Samuel Fraser, Membership Secretary, Edinburgh Photographic Society.

With a membership of over 1,200 businesses representing more than 100,000 employees, NI Chamber hosts numerous events and meetings each week for its members.

The organisation wanted technology that would improve internal communication, make meetings easier to manage and reduce unnecessary travel between locations. It was also important that staff and visitors could easily see upcoming Chamber events and announcements throughout the office. NI Chamber commissioned Fluid AV to design and install a connected, easy-to-use AV solution that would support both day-to-day operations and member engagement.

The Solution

Fluid AV worked closely with NI Chamber’s fit-out contractor to ensure the technology integrated seamlessly into the new office environment, creating a modern and connected workspace.

In the main meeting room, an 86-inch display was installed alongside a wireless presentation system with integrated room booking. The system connects directly to Microsoft Office 365, allowing staff to easily schedule and manage meetings while presenting content wirelessly from their own devices.

In the reception area, Fluid AV installed a digital signage display that showcases upcoming events, key announcements and member news. This provides a dynamic and professional welcome for visitors while ensuring important information is visible throughout the day.

Additional screens and connectivity solutions were installed within private offices, ensuring team members could easily collaborate, share information and connect with colleagues and members when required.

The Impact

The new AV and digital display systems have created a more connected and efficient workplace for NI Chamber. Staff can now schedule meetings quickly, present content wirelessly and collaborate more effectively without the need for unnecessary travel.

Digital signage in the reception area keeps both staff and visitors informed about upcoming events, helping to promote Chamber activities and ensure the team stays aligned with the organisation’s busy weekly schedule.

Overall, the installation supports NI Chamber’s mission to connect, support and grow Northern Ireland’s business community, providing a modern communications platform that enhances both internal collaboration and member engagement.

The Advantages of Wireless Presentation Systems for Hybrid Workplaces

Stephen Mayne — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 13:55:18 +0000

The workplace has undergone a seismic shift in recent years, with hybrid work models becoming the norm for many organisations. This blend of in-office and remote working presents unique challenges for collaboration and communication. Wireless presentation systems have emerged as a transformative tool in overcoming these challenges, enabling seamless sharing of content, enhancing flexibility, and improving productivity in hybrid workplaces.

This article explores the key advantages of wireless presentation systems, their role in supporting hybrid work environments, and why businesses should consider integrating them into their operations.

What Are Wireless Presentation Systems?

Wireless presentation systems allow users to share content from their devices—laptops, tablets, or smartphones—directly to a central display without needing physical cables or connectors. These systems are designed to simplify the process of presenting information in meeting rooms, huddle spaces, and hybrid collaboration environments. Typically, they integrate with projectors, large displays, or video conferencing setups to enable easy content sharing during meetings.

Key features of wireless presentation systems include:

Device Agnosticism: Compatibility with multiple operating systems, including Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.

Screen Mirroring: Ability to display content in real-time from connected devices.

Collaboration Tools: Features such as annotation, split-screen sharing, and multi-user access.

The Role of Wireless Presentation Systems in Hybrid Workplaces

Hybrid workplaces require technology that bridges the gap between in-office and remote teams. Wireless presentation systems play a crucial role in fostering collaboration and ensuring smooth communication across different working environments. Here’s how they support hybrid work:

Seamless Content Sharing: Employees, whether in the office or working remotely, can share content to a central display or video conference call without needing to connect physical cables. This allows teams to focus on the discussion rather than troubleshooting technical issues.

Flexibility Across Devices: Hybrid teams often use a mix of devices, from corporate laptops to personal smartphones. Wireless presentation systems ensure compatibility across platforms, making it easy for everyone to participate.

Enhanced Collaboration: With features like split-screen sharing and multi-user access, wireless presentation systems enable simultaneous contributions from in-office and remote participants. This fosters a more inclusive and collaborative environment.

Reduced Physical Touchpoints: By eliminating the need for shared cables and connectors, wireless systems support a safer, more hygienic workplace—a priority in the post-pandemic era.

The Advantages of Wireless Presentation Systems

1. Ease of Use and Efficiency

One of the primary advantages of wireless presentation systems is their simplicity. Traditional setups often involve multiple cables, adapters, and technical difficulties that can delay meetings and cause frustration. Wireless systems eliminate these issues, allowing users to share their screens with a few clicks or taps.

Automatic Updates: Many wireless presentation systems are cloud-connected, enabling automatic software updates that keep the system running smoothly.

2. Increased Flexibility and Mobility

Wireless presentation systems allow employees to present from anywhere in the room—or even from a remote location. This mobility enhances the meeting experience and accommodates a variety of working styles.

No Physical Constraints: Presenters are not tethered to a specific location, enabling more dynamic and engaging presentations.

Support for Remote Participants: Remote team members can share content during virtual meetings just as easily as in-office participants.

For example, in a hybrid brainstorming session, an employee working from home can contribute ideas directly to the shared screen, ensuring they are as involved as their in-office counterparts.

3. Enhanced Collaboration

Collaboration is at the heart of hybrid work, and wireless presentation systems provide tools that make it more effective.

Multi-Device Connectivity: Multiple users can connect and share content simultaneously, making it easy to compare data, brainstorm ideas, or present different perspectives.

Interactive Features: Some systems include tools like annotation, whiteboarding, and touch-screen compatibility, which enable real-time collaboration.

Split-Screen Sharing: Teams can display multiple pieces of content on the screen at once, facilitating discussions that involve comparing or analysing data.

4. Improved Aesthetics and Organisation

The absence of cables and connectors not only simplifies setup but also enhances the aesthetics of meeting spaces. A clutter-free environment contributes to a more professional and organised appearance, reflecting positively on the company.

Minimal Hardware: Wireless systems reduce the need for additional equipment, such as adapters and dongles.

Tidy Meeting Rooms: With fewer cables, meeting spaces are easier to maintain and more visually appealing.

5. Cost Efficiency

Although wireless presentation systems may involve an initial investment, they can result in long-term cost savings for businesses.

Reduced Equipment Costs: By eliminating the need for multiple cables, adapters, and docking stations, businesses save on hardware expenses.

Lower Maintenance Costs: With fewer physical components, there is less risk of wear and tear, reducing the need for repairs or replacements.

Increased Productivity: The time saved during meetings translates to better utilisation of resources and improved overall efficiency.

6. Scalability and Future-Proofing

As businesses grow and evolve, their technology needs change. Wireless presentation systems are highly scalable, making them a future-proof investment.

Support for Expanding Teams: Additional users and devices can easily connect to the system without requiring hardware upgrades.

Integration with Emerging Technologies: Many wireless systems are compatible with newer technologies, such as 4K displays and augmented reality (AR) tools.

In a hybrid workplace, data security is a top priority. Modern wireless presentation systems come equipped with robust security features to protect sensitive information.

Encryption: Secure data transmission ensures that shared content is not vulnerable to interception.

Access Control: Admins can set permissions to limit who can connect to the system, reducing the risk of unauthorised access.

Network Integration: Systems can be integrated into the organisation’s existing IT infrastructure, enabling consistent security protocols.

Popular Wireless Presentation Systems

Several wireless presentation systems are available on the market, each with unique features and capabilities. Here are a few popular options:

Barco ClickShare: Known for its ease of use and compatibility, ClickShare is a popular choice for corporate environments.

Kramer VIA: Offers advanced collaboration features, including split-screen sharing and annotation tools.

Mersive Solstice: Designed for seamless integration with video conferencing platforms, Solstice supports large-scale collaboration.

Crestron AirMedia: Combines wireless presentation with robust room control features, making it ideal for smart office setups.

Conclusion

Wireless presentation systems are a game-changer for hybrid workplaces, providing the flexibility, efficiency, and collaboration tools needed to thrive in today’s dynamic work environment. By eliminating physical barriers and enabling seamless content sharing, these systems empower teams to work together effectively, regardless of location.

For businesses looking to stay competitive and adaptable, investing in wireless presentation technology is a smart move. Not only does it enhance productivity and engagement, but it also future-proofs the workplace against evolving trends and challenges.

If your organisation is considering upgrading its meeting spaces, partnering with a trusted AV provider ensures that the system is tailored to your specific needs, delivering maximum value and impact. Wireless presentation systems are not just a technological upgrade—they’re a step towards a more connected and collaborative future.
