Cox Communications, the third-largest cable television provider in the United States,
understands the importance of staying current with technology, particularly when it
comes to engaging with its management team and telling its story to visitors. So,
when Cox began renovating its Atlanta headquarters, it wanted to be sure to
incorporate the most cutting-edge display technology in its new executive boardroom
and corporate museum.
According to Arch Nelson, NanoLumens Regional Sales Director, Southeast the Cox
installation underscores how important direct-view LED visualization solutions are
becoming to corporate customers. “Corporations understand the enormous impact a
presentation can have on audiences. Projection-based systems simply cannot compete
with the edge-to-edge image quality delivered by LED displays. Add to this the space-
saving and environmental benefits of LED technology, and it’s clear that LED is the
format of choice for 21st-century corporations.’
After a careful review of options, the forward-looking media company turned to
NanoLumens, the award-winning creators of uniquely compelling interactive LED
visualisation solutions, for six direct-view ENGAGE™ Series LED displays that have
totally transformed the way Cox Communications engages and communicates with
employees and visitors alike.
The centrepiece of the original executive boardroom was an outdated projector screen
that was replaced with an eye-popping 10.6’ x 5.99’ NanoLumens 1.6mm pixel pitch
True HD 1080P ENGAGE Series display — a display that installed without causing any
disruption to the boardroom wall, millwork or doors. It features a natural 1920 X 1080
resolution and complete translation from computer to display, which means that now
every person in the room can see the vibrant and crisp visuals on display — from edge
to edge.
The brightness of the NanoLumens display now allows for Cox to take advantage of
the boardroom’s view of Atlanta. With the previous projection system, the blinds on
the room’s large windows had to be closed for the screen to be viewable. Now, all the
curtains can remain open for a bright, beautiful meeting experience that lets
participants appreciate the view while getting down to business.
In addition to being outdated and dark, the projection system also took up a large
amount of space. The NanoLumens ENGAGE Series display enabled Cox to regain
nearly 20 feet of space behind the boardroom. The regained space was combined with
an interior closet to create a new executive office. “One of the great benefits of this
display technology is that it does take up much less space, which, from a designer’s
perspective, enables us to reimagine how we can make the totality of space available
to us more productive for everyone,’ said Mandy Culpepper, owner of Mandy
Culpepper Interior Designs, who designed the new office.
Culpepper was just as impressed by the capabilities of the new NanoLumens
boardroom display. “NanoLumens puts you in the moment, making you feel like you’re
a part of what is being presented,’ she said. “Cox also now has plenty of flexibility to
create and display multiple types of presentations in broad daylight, which they
weren’t able to do before.’
Cox also decided to incorporate NanoLumens display technology in the company’s new
corporate museum in the headquarters lobby. While brainstorming new ways to bring
Cox’s history to life with integration firm Electrosonic and design firm Gallagher, the
company decided to install NanoLumens displays as column integrations to add a
stunning interactive element to the space. Five 11’ x 1.5’ NanoLumens 2.5mm pixel-
pitch ENGAGE Series displays were selected and then programmed with interactive
content created by design studio Second Story.
