proAV’s revolutionary 3D MATTU project has won this year’s AV Magazine award for Education Project of the Year at a gala ceremony at the Hilton on Park Lane. 

The high profile project at the Minimal Access Therapy Training Unit features groundbreaking High Definition, 3D imaging and fibre optic connectivity between the Royal Surrey County Hospital and the adjacent centre of teaching excellence that’s recognised internationally for its surgical innovation.

World class display, projection and conferencing systems were installed throughout MATTU’s postgraduate lecture theatres, hub facility, control and meeting rooms and a professional post-production facility in the Storz skill centre. The project culminated in the UK’s first laparoscopic surgery to be conducted using three-dimensional imaging and live HD video feeds and has transformed the face of minimally invasive surgical techniques.

“It marks a year of phenomenal growth for us, which is reflective of our ability to capture novel technologies and design award-winning solutions around them.”

‘Naturally, we’re delighted with the success we’ve achieved at this year’s AV Awards,’ revealed Ray Phillpot, Chairman of proAV. ‘It marks a year of phenomenal growth for us, which is reflective of our ability to capture novel technologies and design award-winning solutions around them. It also helps to remain mindful that clients in our globalised marketplace have become increasingly communication-savvy; quite rightly, they expect next-generation AV to be integral to any project that brings people together and makes organisations perform better.’

proAV’s success with the MATTU project, however, was just part of the AV Awards 2011 story. An equally impressive corporate project to equip the iconic European headquarters of Japanese investment bank, Nomura, with pioneering AV and broadcasting facilities was Highly Commended within the Business Installation category. proAV was also a finalist in the Videoconferencing Project of the Year category for its incredible ATX dominated solution at the new London offices of global insurance organisation, Catlin.
