The Institute of Technical Education (ITE) has come a long way in preparing Singapore’s future workforce with relevant skills for employability and lifelong learning since its founding in 1992. Today, it offers close to 100 courses at its three colleges. At ITE College Central, creativity and innovation are highly valued in disciplines such as Electronics & Info-Comm Technology, Engineering, and Design & Media. The College has placed emphasis on technology to enhance learning and prepare students for jobs in the digital age. This includes investing in visual and projection solutions that deliver eye-opening presentations or display dynamic data to inspire students and augment their learning experience. “ITE has been embracing technology including digitalizing our course materials, and visual technologies are the optimal medium for students to embrace these materials in the classroom. As a technical institution, these visual technologies function as an interpreter much like the pen and paper was in yesteryears,” said Joshua Chong, Technical Officer, Venue Management, CDE Division, ITE. “It is therefore essential that our lecture halls and classrooms are equipped with these tools and solutions to elevate learning to a new level.” To achieve this objective, ITE College Central acquired 12 Christie DHD1075-GS and D16HD-HS 1DLP laser projectors for deployment across the campus. Venues include lecture

halls and a speaker’s chamber for training, executive saloons and event halls for corporate training, and hosting of VIPs during official events, as well as a 300-seat theater known as Theatre@IlluminITE. ITE College Central is no stranger to Christie visual solutions. It has previously installed four Christie Roadster HD20K-J projectors in the 1,460-seat Tay Eng Soon Convention Centre, which is used for large-scale concerts and events, including the acclaimed ITE Dance Emblazon arts event and the National Day Rally, an annual address that the Prime Minister of Singapore makes to the entire nation to celebrate the country’s independence. “Our experience with Christie products has been very positive and we’re highly satisfied with the reliability and performance of projectors across the entire product range. Considering that we conduct Design & Media courses in this campus, image quality and colour accuracy is of utmost importance,” Chong explained. “We’ve been using Christie projectors for some time and have witnessed that they are able to maintain colour accuracy and consistency through time, which is an important factor in venues like ours where multiple projectors are fitted.” The decision to acquire more Christie projectors came following the highly successful staging of “Milestones: The ITE Bicentennial Emblazon Edition” in October 2019 that commemorated Singapore’s Bicentennial. The concert wowed audiences with an array of stunning multimedia June- July 2020
