CORPORATE & OFFICE AV INSTALLATION

Today's boardroom solutions range from a simple projector and screen, up to a fully integrated multi-media, multi-screen presentation system, with surround sound audio and interactive whiteboard.

We can talk to you about integrating your IT with the latest AV equipment including Video Conferencing. Our first questions to you will be about the people that will use the room, and what they will use it for - this helps us identify base level equipment, and then work with you to specify any future upgrade paths.

It is far better for us to lay a few extra cables, and make minor design changes to make future additions or expansion both cheaper and quicker to implement.

Practical Audio Visual installed a multi-room fully integrated Audio-Visual System at The Foundry Meeting and Conference Centre in London. 3 Rooms with partitions needed to be used in any layout style.

We linked three 85” Sony LED screens to a 4x4 Wyrestorm Matrix switch to enable any input on any screen. Each screen had a local HDMI/VGA auto-switching faceplate so give total flexibility for visiting users.

Sitting behind this was an RTI Control Processor and touchscreen control panel to allow the conference center staff to control all the rooms and route the video and audio as required. The control system user interface was designed with the client to give all the functionality required. Fantastic Audio-Visual install in Central London.

As part of a wider Audio Visual installation, Practical Audio Visual were engaged to provide a Video Conferencing Solution for multiple meeting rooms and offices in Birmingham. The Video Conferencing installation varied depending on the size of the room, number of participants and acoustic properties.

For the smaller meeting rooms we installed Acendo Vibe Conferencing Sound Bar with Camera in conjunction with 55” LED Samsung Commercial Screens, a fixed desktop PC, Barco Clickshare and HDMI Connection plate. 3 inputs easily controlled using an 8 Button AMX Control Pad.

In the larger meeting rooms, we installed a Shure MXA910 ceiling array microphone with 8 steerable lobes for precise positioning to participants. This discreet and incredibly effective microphone means effective audio pick up for the video conference. The solution also includes an P300 Audio Conferencing Processor with DSP algorithms to enhance audio quality in AV conferences: 8 channels of microphone processing featuring AEC, noise reduction, and automatic gain control, IntelliMix automatic mixing, matrix mixing, delay, compressor and PEQ.

The Video Conferencing Installation was maximised using high end AV Kit included 49” and 55” Samsung TVs, HD NEC Projectors, QSC Amplifiers and Speakers, Logitech PTZ Cameras and Barco CSE200 Clickshares. Fantastic high specification corporate audio visual install.

 

As the room was client facing, Altour International required a high-quality finish with minimal cables and discreet connectivity. Practical AV designed and installed the system to ensure no visible cables and simple user interaction.

The system consisted of a 4200 Lumen HD Optoma Projector, Sapphire Fixed Frame Screen, Desk top pop up and Wyrestorm HDMI over CAT6 extender.

The projector was installed using a low profile PMV mount. All cabling was within the walls and floor for the best aesthetics.

This was achieved using a Sapphire custom screen, made to size, and a 4000 Lumen NEC HD Projector (M403H). For connectivity, a ‘desktop pop-up’ was cut in to the boardroom table giving a sleek clean solution which can be hidden when not in use.

The ‘pop up’ included VGA, HDMI, Audio, USB charging point, ethernet and a power point. All this was hidden under the table and cables grouped together in a mesh. The signal was distributed using powered HDMI over CAT6 extenders.

Using metallic Neutrik connectors and a black metal enclosure a stylish design was fixed in to the centre of the desk. Alongside was a power distribution unit for laptops and phones. This simple custom design removed the requirement for any expensive desktop solutions and included HDMI, VGA, 3.5mm Audio, Ethernet and USB charging.

 

The installed equipment includes 8 Button AMX Control Panels, Stainless Steel Connection Plates, indesk ‘pop ups’, Barco Clickshare CSE200, Fixed Frame Sapphire Screens, various NEC Projectors and Commercial Light LG Screens of all sizes.

For the larger meeting rooms and boardrooms, a projector and screen is appropriate. For the more intimate meeting spaces a 55” LG Commercial Light TV is more than adequate for the user.s well as hardwire connections we have installed Barco Clickshare which is a Corporate level product for wireless presentation and video. Using USB dongles or a wi-fi connection any device can connect and ‘broadcast’ to the projector or tv.

Working with a mix of old CAT5 infrastructure and new CAT6 from ourselves, we provided HDMI 1080p connections from meeting tables to TV’s.  The TV’s were cleanly mounted, with no cabling visible and very flat to wall with skinny mounts.

This Corporate Audio Visual installation is used to entertain guests in the reception and waiting area playing primarily BBC HD News.

Using BTech specialist video wall mounts the screens sit flush against each other and maintain a low profile against the wall. The HD signal is distributed from the Communication room over CAT6 using a Wyrestorm HDMI over CAT6 Extender. The built in IR transmitter receiver also means you can control the freeview box from reception.

Today there is a vast array of equipment to help get your message over in the most effective manner, The list of equipment and training is too long to mention here, but we will help identify the right kit for your training room by reviewing with you the type of trainers and training recipients who will use your facilities.

If your training staff are permanent residents or frequent users, then we can recommend fixed interactive whiteboard installations and integrate this with your network and the internet to make sure all materials are available to aid in teaching.

If your facilities are used by visiting staff or occasional users, then simplicity and reliability are the key. Simpler, more intuitive equipment will be better suited and laptop points for visiting presenters to enable easy plug & play access.

Equally, we can also recommend fully mobile solutions - from a simple light weight projector and laptop combo, up to mobile interactive whiteboard, and portable screens and audio solutions.
