Our Mission
Dubbed “the largest digital video wall in the Southern Hemisphere”.
The wall, based at the NSW Rural Fire Service headquarters in Homebush, was installed in under seven weeks and comes just in time for the bushfire season.
The 100 NEC 46-inch LCD energy saving screens are supported by 14 computer systems, four dedicated servers and 32 digital video inputs including digital television, Sky News and a helicopter-mounted camera system which can transmit video from the fire front back to the command centre video wall.
Our Work
A 35-metre, 120-screen digital video wall provides the NSW Rural Fire Service with a revolutionary, unified view for state-wide emergency management.
Technology
Sound with Vision integrated 120 individual plasmas into a seamless 35-metre digital video wall, creating one of the world’s most advanced common operating pictures for critical decision-making.
Fire Department Technology
The NSW Rural Fire Service stands as a shield for communities across the state, a volunteer-based organisation powered by dedication and courage. They are the everyday heroes who face nature’s fury, embodying a spirit of profound service and resilience.
Sound with Vision’s role was to empower this heroic mission with unparalleled clarity. By providing a technological solution that transforms vast data into a single, cohesive picture, Sound with Vision equip them with the certainty and foresight needed to protect lives, homes, and the land they so bravely defend.
“By introducing a state-of-the-art video wall into the information centre, the Rural Fire Service can now access and share incident information, and monitor weather data and bushfire movement in real time”.
Shane Fitzsimmons – Rural Fire Service Commissioner
