GFD Communications, systems integrator and exclusive Sony Digital Cinema 4K distributor for the Republic of Ireland, has supplied Calibre UK HQView400DC alternative content scaler-switcher to scale various content for display on a 7-metre screen using the Sony SRX-515 4K projector that is located at the heart of the new cinema at the Pavilion Theatre in Dún Laoghaire, Ireland.

fmSHOWCASE will run alongside Framework Media’s two other, well established shows, forming a trilogy of events with three complimentary themes : itSHOWCASE™, the business so”ware roadshow; ecoSHOWCASE™, the green building roadshow; fmSHOWCASE™, the facilities and estates management roadshow, creating a genuinely unique event for local businesses.
A new nationwide FM roadshow
Each SHOWCASE is designed to bring expert suppliers and authoritative presentations, focusing on key business issues, government directives and current legislation. Information packed, conveniently located events designed for business owners, managers, specifiers and buyers. SHOWCASE events provide a forum for some of the most important commercial and environmental issues in business today.
Framework MD , Steve Jones, comments “By staging these shows in cities throughout the UK we have always provided a unique proposition for exhibitors
10 news
and delegates alike. We have proven that co-locating events works just as well regionally as it does for national events and fmSHOWCASE seemed like such a natural fit. It provides relevant new content for our existing audiences as well as introducing new visitors from the fast moving world of facilities and estates management. Managing the spaces where we live, work and play, the role of Facilities Management is ever evolving. Keeping up to date with the latest trends, new products and changes in legislation is a constant challenge. Our research revealed a massive gap in the market, with no other events focussing on FM regionally. The initial response from our clients has been
extremely positive and we are confident this new event will be well received by regional audiences, where facilities and estates managers from the UK’s largest cities will be able to debate, share knowledge, learn about changes and meet potential suppliers face-to-face to discuss their individual needs.”
fmSHOWCASE will join itSHOWCASE and ecoSHOWCASE, creating the new look SHOWCASE series, later this year in Leeds, London and Cardiff, rolling out as a complete national roadshow covering 11 host cities in 2014 Email: martyn.
