Lighting system: Special attention was paid to the lighting circuit wiring as the room needed to be lit without causing too much light to interfere with the projector.   Therefore light circuits were carefully designed to allow switching off of any circuit that affected the screen, whilst leaving other circuits on for ambient levels.  RAKO was the chosen light manufacturer as it is economical for smaller circuit counts.

Audio: Monitor Audio C280s ceiling speakers were used to ensure good quality of sound and were flush fitted into the ceiling grid.  4 speakers were used as this ensured good coverage of the room.    An Apart Concept 1 was used for the amplification as it is RS232 controllable and has 4 audio inputs that can be switched.

Visual: Panasonic was specified as the projector with a lumen value of 4800.  It was WUXGA resolution and has a RS232 port for RTI control.  The screen was a recessed tensioned screen to allow for flush ceiling mounting and to prevent curling of the screen in the future.

A second TV was fitted as the client requested that any input is able to route to any output.  A special swap button was programmed to allow quick switching of inputs to the two different screens.

By employing a matrix unit, it was possible to have any HDMI input deployed to any screen in the venue.

For the conferencing facility, Kramer were the chosen brand, as they offer commercial solutions and longevity.  2 local input boxes with HDMI and VGA/audio were specified and fitted into the desk allowing a very discrete input option to the system.

System Control: An RTI control system was selected to maximise flexibility whilst maintaining the price point.  An in-wall and desktop controller were specified over an iPad to enable immediate wake up of RTI touch panels.

Network & Wi-fi: As the client has 12 sites, he had employed a dedicated IT Consultant. As such our team and their team worked closely to ensure the IT side of things was setup correctly for the conferencing suite.
