This project was created, bid, designed, and installed in a two week timeline.
We were given a short window to have the majority of the work completed before an "open house" tour that they were giving. The project consisted of a large distributed audio system, a fully automated Conference Room, and a Video Distribution System. We also installed an HD Video Conference System and several IP Surveillance cameras throughout the office. Most of the work was completed after hours so we did not disrupt the day-to-day operations.
Background Audio
The audio system consists of more than 30 audio zones that include over 80 high-fidelity speakers installed in the ceiling. Each zone has a separate volume control for balancing the audio throughout the common areas and audio control in each office space. The entire system is controlled with a Control4 Processor and powered by Crown Amplification.
Video Distribution
A system was designed to carry several cable boxes, 2 Apple TV’s and a Mac Mini to 8 common area large screen LED HDTVs. All of the monitors including several 80” TV’s were connected to an HDMI Matrix to share the sources which will include company information displayed through the Mac Mini to each of the monitors. There were also additional monitors installed in each of the executive offices connected to independent cable boxes and Apple TV’s. All of the video is automated through several Control4 processors and controlled with either Control4 remotes or through an app on a desktop computer.
Conference Room
This office has an impressive conference room with floor-to-ceiling glass walls framing two of the four walls. As beautiful as it is to look at, the giant pains of glass can wreak havoc on any kind of video presentation. A group of motorized blinds were installed to deal with all of the light coming in the windows on sunny days and to allow the 120” motorized screen and Panasonic projector to produce quality, larger-than-life images. We also installed a 65” Samsung LED TV to be used when more light is needed or for use with the Video Teleconference system. Several speakers were installed in the ceiling and powered by a Denon Receiver. An Apple TV and cable box are among the other available video sources in the room. A simple tabletop keypad commands the projector, lighting, blinds, and source selection. This allows anyone the ability to control the system without a lesson on how to turn things on or operate the system. The entire room is automated with a Control4 HC800 Processor and can be controlled at the keypad or through an app running on a computer.
1080P HD Telepresence System
A Sony HD video Conference was chosen to connect this office to remote locations for true-to-life, face-to-face meetings. The motorized HD cameras located in several offices allow for pan, tilt, and zoom as well as presets that will point the camera to either the conference table or the whiteboard at the back of the room while doing presentations.
IP CCTV
An office this size demands a certain level of security. Employees can be found at their desks at all hours of the day and night and the entrances are controlled with card access points and monitored with high-resolution IP cameras which are intergraded into the control4 system. They can be seen at any of the TVs or at several Key Computer monitors throughout the office. Each camera records the coming and going of the office with a time stamp on each of the recordings.
