Situation.

Recently Golden West Media was contacted to create a multi-room fully integrated Audio/Video presentation center. More than just a meeting or conference room, this project required Golden West to design and install equipment that connects three separate rooms with audio and video capabilities. This project consisted of a meeting room and two separate surgical laboratories. The idea was to have the ability for a Doctor/Instructor to be able to have full communication with his students regardless of the room he or she is working in. As an example. If the Doctor is in Lab one, he needs to have communication with his students who may be in lab two or even in the meeting room. At the same time, the students need to have communication with the doctor. Not only was audio communication a must, they also required video communication at the same time. We needed to design a system to allow video to be broadcast from any of the three rooms to the others. Be it a video from a camera, DVD, VHS or even a PowerPoint project video integration was a key to the success of this project. While the primary goal was to have a fully integrated Audio Video presentation center, this client also needed the ability to separate any or all of the rooms at any time depending on what classes are being taught.

Solution.

After a few meetings with our client, we came up with a plan to create and implement a facility that met all the requirements.  The main meeting room was equipped with a Da-lite retractable screen flush mounted in the drop ceiling. This allowed the screen to be raised and out of view when not in use. Along with the screen an Eiki 3500Lm DLP projector was mounted in the ceiling. The projector was also equipped with a designated power supply to insure against accidental power loss. Also installed in the ceiling was two flush mount speakers that allowed the students to hear conversations from other rooms. The speakers are also tied into the DVD/VHS and computer.  The computer in the meeting room was equipped with a Smart board symposium. This allows the user to be interactive with the image on the monitor, much like the "madden cam" we see on TV football games. Lastly, the meeting room has a wireless lapel microphone for an instructor to use while in this room. its signal can be broadcast to any or all of the rooms at the same time.

Various audio mixers as well as video switchers were installed in the primary meeting room, in a specially designed podium. This gives a presenter the ability to send audio or video signals to any room he desires. It also allows him to separate any of the rooms depending on the needs of the facility.

Each of the labs were a challenge in and of themselves. They needed to be either a primary or secondary A/V location. To solve these needs, each room was first equipped with a 42 Plamsa TV flush mounted on the wall. The plasmas acted as a video monitor as well as providing audio. Flush mount microphones were also added to the ceiling allowing a Doctor/Instructor to have conversation with other rooms while keeping his hands free to perform the task at hand.

All wiring and cabling was done in the ceiling and in the walls. There are no exposed wire or cable runs. Each room has a patch panel on the wall for different equipment to be patched into the system.

Results.

Since the integration of the new equipment, this facility has seen a dramatic increase in bookings. Not only is this client using the facility for their company needs, they also rent the facility out to others. Since the integration of the new equipment, the cost to rent this facility has gone up over 300% with bookings being made many months in advance. Our client has a state-of-the-art fully integrated training facility that can be used in conjunction with any of the other rooms or as a stand alone meeting room. Not only are they completely happy with the results, our client found that it was completed for about 40% less than the next closest bid. That makes all of us happy.

Because this clients business is of a proprietary nature, I cannot publicly disclose their name or location. However, if you would like to contact this client for a reference, send us an e-mail or call us, and we will contact the client with your information. They will be happy to contact you.

Update.

Since our last install, our client has contacted us to integrate 3 more meeting rooms through out their facility. When completed, this will provide Audio Visual capabilities for any or all of six rooms.  We'll add more updates and pictures when the project is complete.
