On January 9, 2011, Smart Service Queensland (SSQ) hosted the Channel Nine Flood Relief Appeal with an aim to make a real difference to the lives of thousands of Queenslanders affected by the recent state-wide floods.
 
Over 200 SSQ staff volunteered their time to man the phones at two Call Centres in Brisbane for the duration of the telecast. Numerous Channel Nine personalities, actors, singers, musicians, sports men and women and politicians also made themselves available to answer calls.
 
The Appeal raised more than $10 million on the night and sparked a huge wave of generous donations from the Australian Public, Government Departments, Corporations and Small Businesses nationally.
 
 
       
To date the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal Fund has reached over $230 million.
 
CEAD was glad to be able to contribute in a small way by upgrading SSQ’s existing CEAD TV system which enabled the Contact Centres to interface with Channel 9 broadcast and importantly integrate the Live Data about the progressive total of the donations and display the updated tally information in real time on screens throughout the Contact Centre.

During the dust storm
MASSIVE DUST STORM NO MATCH FOR WPTV
 
Dust storms are very common in Australia and often cause problems for outdoor electronics in televisions and other equipment. Brisbane designed and built High Definition Industrial Weatherproof LCD has been tested in a few dust storms. Having an IP66 rating ensures that they are easily able to cope.
 
Brisbane-based CEAD has developed LCD displays especially for tough Australian conditions which can be used for occupational health and safety applications and visual communications. CEAD director, Brian Hammett said the LCD displays had an Ingress Protection (IP) rating of 66, after proving resistant to high pressure water jets and exposure inside a dust chamber. Mr Hammett said the CEAD displays were manufactured in marine grade stainless steel and were totally sealed against moisture, humidity, dust and insects. The display face is made from 6.4mm thick, laminated, anti-glare glass.
 
   
“This LCD is built like a concrete bunker but definitely doesn’t look like one. It is a commercial grade full HD screen designed for 24 hour a day operations. It has applications across a wide range of industries and challenging environments. The High Definition Industrial Weatherproof LCD enables high quality communication with workers in large places such as wet areas, wash bays, workshops, stock warehouses, security stations and elsewhere on sites regardless of the locations and environmental conditions. TV monitors used outdoors usually only last a few months due to the moisture, heat or insects, but our weatherproof display will function for many years,” Mr Hammett said. “They can easily be fitted with a new screen in the future and provide long term savings for companies using the displays.”
The LCDs range in size from 101cm to 165cm, and have a 178 degree viewing angle. They are also fitted with thermostatic cooling protection to ensure long life operation. Mr Hammett said the monitors could be installed in offices as well as outdoor or underground working environments and can be securely wall mounted with a theft resistant device.
Escalator Digital Signage  
MTR Digital Escalator Crown is the first digital and animated escalator advertising platform in Asia’s metro system. 
 
Australia now has access to this unique solution through a partnership between CEAD and DISE. The solution offers a central content management and distribution mechanism. The corporate administration and design office can manage the complete advertising network from a single access location. The player stations running on “Replay” are always playing synchronously across the series of screens alongside the escalator bank. The powerful and yet easy-to-use “Composer” enable content designer to develop creative advertising on a huge virtual ‘canvas’ covering the entire screen group. Staging and movement of both graphical and audio materials are arranged in the project definition and rendered on-the-fly - Last minute adjustment is possible as designer no longer rely on lengthily pre-produced video for each final screens. For more information on this installation please go to www.displayevolution.com 
 
For Brisbane riverside restaurant Groove Train, getting the sound system right was as important as creating a quality menu. With eight restaurants in Melbourne, the Groove Train chain has set up three more in Brisbane - one alongside the hustle and bustle of the busy Riverside CityCat Ferry Terminal. The challenge for owner Rocky Veneziano was finding the right ambience in the restaurant to blend with the noise of the passing people traffic from the ferry and a building with “the acoustics of a concrete box”. Rocky turned to an acoustic, visual and digital sciences company to design and install an integrated sound system for the Groove Train. “Their speakers are amazing, you cannot see them and they sound crystal clear,” Rocky says. “Every day we receive compliments on the food but never before have we received so many compliments on the sound of our restaurant. Customers also comment on how the sound system enables them to focus on their own conversations and not on those happening at other tables.”
First Australian HD Weatherproof TV launched in Brisbane

Australia’s first locally designed and built High Definition Industrial Weatherproof LCD is set to revolutionise operations in industrial workplaces such as mines. Brisbane-based CEAD has developed LCD displays especially for tough Australian conditions. CEAD director, Brian Hammett said the LCD displays had an Ingress Protection (IP) rating of 66, after proving resistant to high pressure water jets and exposure inside a dust chamber. He said the weatherproof TVs were specifically designed to enable companies to visually communicate vital statistics and information in previously restricted environments such as underground mines.Mr Hammett said the CEAD displays were manufactured in marine grade stainless steel and were totally sealed against moisture, humidity, dust and insects. The display face is made from 6.4mm thick, laminated, anti-glare glass.The LCDs range in size from 101cm to 165cm, and have a 178 degree viewing angle. They are also fitted with thermostatic cooling protection to ensure long life operation.

Clarity Key To Segretto In-Ceiling Speakers. 

Brisbane audiovisual retailer Videopro is so impressed with the sound quality of technology company CEAD’s Segretto in-ceiling speakers, it has included them as a permanent feature in its futuristic showroom the 'iiiHome'."In the 33 years I've been in the audio industry I have never heard an invisible speaker with such clarity," Videopro Managing Director Shane Leaney said.

One of the best parts about the Segretto is that it is totally invisible, easy to install and totally compliments the aesthetics of today's lifestyle."

"Segretto can be installed in home theatres, living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, outdoor living areas and around pools," he said.
