Notas do Editor
InfoComm Member:
Insert your company logo on first and last slide of this presentation.
Depending on your perspective as a consultant or design-build firm, you can emphasize:
Independent resource
Understand the design process
Bring experience and ideas to each project
Owners technical representative
Can verify the system installed per the design documents
Sensitive to aesthetics
From AudioVisual Best Practices:
Independent design consultant –
Often hired by the architects or directly by system owners, the independent design consultant determines the best options for the design of a system and produces specifications for the job that can be competitively bid by systems integrators.
Design consultants handle video, audio, data and PC-video, as well as acoustics, lighting, electrical power and other infrastructure.
Design consultants are not affiliated with any particular brand or manufacturer so they offer independent advice on system components.
NOTE:
Solid lines indicate contractual relationships
Horizontal dotted lines indicate coordination commonly required by contract
Curved dotted line indicates additional coordination commonly practiced
From AudioVisual Best Practices:
Systems integrators are skilled professionals who traditionally install AV technologies as integrated systems ensuring compatibility with existing IT systems and providing staff training to use the system.
Increasingly, the role of the AV integrator has broadened to include a wider range of services, due to the complexity of the systems. Some integrators now offer consulting and design services. These integrators are referred to as “design-build” firms.
NOTE:
AV integrators offering design-build services may be contracted to the GC or directly to the Owner.
Use project photos as appropriate …. as examples
Use project photos as appropriate …. as examples
Discussion Points:
Appropriate screen size relative to audience area, ceiling height, lighting and media presented
Controlling ambient light and zoning lights in presentation rooms
How audio design follows physics rules – importance of hearing the presenter
Cool technology v. functional technology that meets building and audience needs
Effects of new technology (HD, wide screen formats) on architecture and building systems
Emphasize client solutions:
communicate effectively with remote offices
ease of use, “push of a button”
Discuss aesthetics and technical considerations:
How to integrate loudspeakers, cameras, video displays with architecture v. add-on
Working with lighting consultant to incorporate lighting system into control system for AV, IT and Help Desk
As appropriate use photos to illustrate solutions
Depending on your role – use “Define” or “Source” in the subhead
Embellish as appropriate i.e. acoustical materials to address acoustics and noise control issues.
Discuss as appropriate:
Room geometry and sizing, adjacencies
Cable pathways, building infrastructure
Fix LAN Closets
Opportunity here to discuss:
HIPPA
Classroom acoustics
LEED – acoustical challenges
Appropriate to reference the 2006 AV Design Reference Manual published by InfoComm and BICSI.
19-chapter reference manual for anyone involved in a building’s infrastructure.
Standards, documents, best practices and glossaries covering signals, transmission, infrastructure, networking, electrical principles, grounding, HVAC, structural considerations, acoustics, lighting, interior design, audio, video, control, systems, venues and processes.
From AudioVisual Best Practices:
NOTE: Presenter – next 8 slides show schedules for large project (4 slides) and small project (4 slides). Choose one set of slides that applicable to you.
Next 4 slides show Large Project schedule for a new building that includes significant AV and IT integration – often a 2 – 4+ year project
There are two basic tracks of design that occur before construction:
Base Building Track – represented in the arrow across the chart
AV Electronics Track –
Base Building Track involves:
Acoustics, lighting, conduit, data, power and space requirements
Infrastructure for the systems are designed along with the rest of the building
2. AV Electronics track includes:
AV equipment (audio, video, AV control and AV wiring)
AV electronics are designed later in construction process
AV system design and installation at construction phase – employing current AV technologies.
Due to the length of the design and construction process, the bulk of the electronics design is often completed after the base building is contracted and construction is underway.
AV system design and installation at construction phase – employing current AV technologies.
Note that integrators provide training for AV end users in the final project phase.
This next series of slides is for a smaller and/or short-term project that can range from 6 months to 2 years.
Schedule elements are basically the same as a large project design
Two tracks – base building track and AV electronics track
With short term projects, the infrastructure and electronics designs will often overlap so that both are in full swing at the same time for both the design and installation phases.
The AV design and installation schedules may more closely follow the base building schedule.
Depending on your perspective as a consultant or design-build firm, you can emphasize:
Independent resource
Understand the design process
Bring experience and ideas to each project
Owners technical representative
Can verify the system installed per the design documents
Sensitive to aesthetics
