Control System Case Study

An existing customer decided to expand their audio-visual system, we had installed the existing system so expandability was factored in originally, this made the task more straightforward. The existing system consisted of 8 plasma screens and two projectors all with local sound. The new system was expanded to 14 plasma displays, two projectors and a rear projection system. The control equipment now consists of a 16x16 video and audio matrix, a 12x2 video and audio matrix, two scan converters and a picture in picture processor.

We took the opportunity to offer a web based control system to integrate the increasing range of equipment. The system has recently gone live and is receiving a great response.

Because we opted to design and build the software based control system in house, we were able to keep costs low and also retain absolute control over every aspect of it, this has allowed us to completely tailor the web interface to the needs of the client.

A control website was built from scratch, allowing control over all the plasma displays, the two projectors and the rear projection screen. The website is also easily updated to cope with any changes in equipment or circumstances.
