    Digital System DesignsAsk a dozen A/V system designers and consultants to define what

    is an A/V system? and youll get two dozen answers. Commercial

    A/V presentation system designs run the gamut from single-

    display classrooms and conference rooms with a small number of

    computer and video sources, to Network Operations Centers with

    many sources and many displays. Rarely if ever is a commercial

    presentation system limited to a single source, such as a laptop

    or Blu-ray Disc player, and a single display, connected with a

    single HDMI cable. Even the smallest A/V system design generally

    HD Video Conference & Presentation Room

    Corporate Training Room System

    Digital Upgrade to Existing Analog System

    Municipal Courtroom System

    College/University Classroom System Lecture Hall System

    Network Operations Center System

    includes a variety of signal types and, even within a new digital

    system design, there is often a need to provide some support for

    legacy analog sources or content.

    The following A/V system designs represent a cross-section of

    typical commercial A/V environments and requirements. A detailed

    application drawing depicts signal flow within the system, as well

    as the types of sources and displays that typically need to be

    supported.

  • 26 Extron Digital Design Guide

    System Design SolutionDisplaySystem Two 52 inch (132 cm) diagonal 1920x1080 resolution LCD displays will be configured in a 1 unit high by 2 unit wide array. The screens will be wall-mounted at 40 inches (102 cm) AFF - Above Finished Floor. The individual screen size is approximately 28 inches (71 cm) high by 48 inches (122 cm) wide.

    CamerasTwo HD cameras will be installed on wall mounts, one above each display. The camera above the left monitor will be the primary camera used for recall of presets, including close-up shots of meeting participants. The camera above the right monitor will be used for wide cover shots of the room and meeting participants at the conference table.

    DigitalMatrixSwitchingandSignalManagementThe ExtronDXP84HDMI 8x4 matrix switcher will function as the heart of the system. HDMI input sources, whose source material or hardware requires the management of HDCP, will be switched alongside non-HDCP input sources. This configuration will provide efficient digital source selection, distribution, and image control for the display system. Only the appropriate sources will be routed to the PC input on the codec.

    SignalDistributionExtronDVI201andHDMI201 Twisted Pair Transmitters and Receivers will be paired to extend DVI or HDMI video signals over shielded CAT 5e cabling. This standardized and easily accessible infrastructure will provide the most effective method of conserving conduit space while preserving the integrity of the digital signals over considerable distances. The HD cameras, the HDMI input at the table, the HDMI input at the wall plate, and HDMI signal distribution to the displays will use this common cabling infrastructure. The HDMI 201 supports DDC and HDCP which will provide reliable long distance DVI and HDMI signal distribution. The analog video and PC sources will be scaled and converted to DVI using an ExtronDVS304DVI Video and RGB scaler.

    AudioSystemLocal audio signals will be embedded within the HDMI signals and routed using the DXP 84 HDMI matrix switcher. Both the codec and the DXP 84 HDMI will send their audio signals to the ExtronDMP64 ProDSP Digital Matrix Processor. The DMP 64 will then send a combination of local and far-end audio to a single Extron XPA 1002 Stereo Power Amplifier. The XPA1002 will then power the two wall-mounted ExtronSI26 Surface Mount Speakers located on each side of the display system. Volume control of far-end and local audio, and the muting of microphones will be provided via the touchpanel and the control system. Audio from microphones will only be heard at the far end.

    HD Video Conference & Presentation Room

    Room Needs AssessmentStaffing This equipment configuration is designed to support

    the company-standard, medium-sized conference room, seating up to seven primary participants around a company furnished, wedge-shaped conference table. Additional seating may be present for local presentation meetings. However, only the seven participants seated at the conference table are intended to be visible on-camera or heard via microphones during a videoconference.

    SourceConnectivity

    A conference table-mounted ExtronCableCubby includes input capability for the following sources: One HDMI source, one desktop PC or laptop with analog 15-pin HD output, one S-video source, and one composite video source.

    A wall-mounted HDMI input is available for portable sources rolled in from the companys lab.

    Sources One local desktop PC with DVI or HDMI output, one HD cable set-top receiver with HDMI output for viewing news and information channels, and one Blu-ray Disc player for viewing training materials. Two of these sources will be viewable locally within the room.

    AudioRequirements

    Three cardioid boundary microphones mounted on the wedge-shaped table, local playback of all sources during a local presentation, and local playback of far-end audio and local sources during audioconferences and videoconferences.

    FunctionalRequirements

    All sources can be viewed locally. Sources to be sent to the far end in a videoconference include the local desktop PC and a laptop with HDMI or analog 15-pin HD output.

    Two sources may be viewed simultaneously during local presentations or during a conference via an options list on the touchpanel. The meeting participants may choose whether they wish to view the source sent from the far end, or a source being sent to the far end.

    OverviewThis room is designed to support the critical visual communication needs of a technology company. This standard room design is deployed in many facilities throughout the enterprise to ensure consistent and predictable operation, maintenance, and support. It features three modes of operation: local presentation, audioconferencing, and videoconferencing. The company has standardized on digital signal inputs and newer high definition LCD displays.

    Digital Upgrade to Existing Analog System

    System Design SolutionDisplaySystem One 119 inch (3 meter) diagonal, 16x9 aspect ratio, rear projection screen surface will replace the existing 100 inch (2.5 meter) diagonal 4x3 screen surface. The new screen will be mounted at the same height AFF - Above Finished Floor as the original. The new visible screen size is approximately 58 inches (147 cm) high by 108 inches (2.7 meters) wide.

    Also, a new single-chip DLP projector with a 1920x1080 native resolution will be used with a modified rear projection mirror assembly. The projector features several digital inputs using both HDMI and DVI connectors.

    CamerasThe existing camera system will be retained without modification.

    MatrixSwitchingandSignalManagementThe ExtronSW4HDMI Four Input Switcher will function as the digital heart of the system. HDMI input sources, whose source material or hardware requires the management of HDCP, will be switched alongside non-HDCP input sources. This configuration will provide efficient digital source selection, distribution, and image control for the display system. The existing ExtronCrossPointUltra84HVA Ultra-Wideband Matrix Switcher will be retained for use with the existing analog sources.

    SignalDistributionExtronHDMI201 Twisted Pair Transmitters and Receivers will be paired to extend HDMI video signals over shielded CAT 5e cables. This standardized and easily accessible infrastructure will provide the most effective method of conserving conduit space while preserving the integrity of the digital signals over considerable distances. The HDMI input at the table and the signal distribution to the displays will use this common cabling infrastructure. The HDMI 201 supports DDC and HDCP which will provide reliable long distance HDMI signal distribution. The analog video and PC sources from the existing system will be scaled and converted to DVI using an ExtronDVS304DVI Video and RGB Scaler.

    AudioSystemLocal audio signals from the existing analog and the new digital sources will be managed via the existing DSP-based audio system.

    Room Needs AssessmentSourceConnectivity

    The conference table-mounted Extron Cable Cubby will be upgraded to include HDMI input capability.

    NewSources New sources will include: one local desktop PC with DVI output, one HD cable set-top receiver with HDMI output for viewing news and information channels, and one Blu-ray Disc player for viewing training materials. All of these sources will be viewable locally within the room.

    AudioRequirements

    The system will operate as previously implemented. As with the existing sources, the four new sources will be audible via the program speakers.

    FunctionalRequirements

    All sources can be viewed locally. Sources to be sent to the far end during a videoconference will include only the existing analog PC or analog document camera. The existing codec only accepts analog sources and is not being upgraded at this time.

    Analog or digital sources may be viewed during local presentations or during a conference. During a local presentation, a source may be selected for viewing from a list of available options on the existing touchpanel. During an audioconference, a local source may be viewed along with audio supplied from the far end. During a videoconference, the far-end camera or far-end source will always be shown on the display. Audio from both the far-end and near-end sources will be heard locally.

    OverviewThis solution is designed to upgrade an existing high-end conference room installed several years earlier. This highly desirable space features custom millwork that will not be replaced during this system transition. The upgrade must have minimal impact on existing room aesthetics, yet provide the modern digital connectivity and support for higher resolutions required for current and future applications.

    Most of the original equipment configuration will remain intact. The existing screen surface will be replaced to accommodate a new 16x9 aspect ratio screen surface. Millwork modifications are already underway to accommodate this new form factor.

    ViewingDistanceRange

    Between 7 feet (2 meters) and 15 feet (4.5 meters)

    ComputerSources Three PC workstations with DVI outputs at 1400x1050 resolution, two PC workstations with analog 15-pin HD output at 1280x1024 resolution, and one PC workstation with 15-pin HD output at various resolutions.

    OtherSources Two cable TV receivers with composite output for news and weather information, one DVD player for viewing training materials, and one security camera for the outside perimeter.

    AudioRequirements

    Audio playback of PC content and video sources throughout the room.

    FunctionalRequirements

    Typically there will be five sources that need to be viewed simultaneously: one large view of the firewall management software, and smaller views of news, weather, ticketing, and troubleshooting. However, any of the system sources may need to be directed to the large view at any time. The NOC manager will determine and control the different views and content on the display system.

    System Design SolutionDisplaySystem Two 67 inch (170 cm) diagonal rear projection display cubes at 1400x1050 resolution will be configured in a 1 unit high by 2 unit wide array. The bottom of the screen area will be mounted at 48 inches (122 cm) AFF - Above Finished Floor. The individual screen size is approximately 40 inches (102 cm) high by 53 inches (135 cm) wide. The overall image size will be approximately 40 inches (102 cm) high by 106 inches (270 cm) wide, producing an aggregate resolution of 2800x1050 pixels.

    DisplaySystemProcessorThe ExtronWindoWallSystem will be the base of the system. There will be two WindoWall Processors in conjunction with an ExtronSMX400 frame loaded with one SMX88DVIPro matrix board, one SMX88VGA board, and one SMX1616A board. This configuration will provide source selection, distribution, and image control for the display system. WindoWall Console software will control the WindoWall Processors and SMX matrix switcher. The intuitive GUI will allow the user to select from any of the digital and analog video sources, and simultaneously view them on the displays. On-screen windows for each of the sources can be dynamically sized and positioned anywhere on the aggregate display area. Presets for the different configurations may be saved for quick recall.

    SignalDistributionExtronDVI201 Twisted Pair Transmitters and Receivers will be paired to extend DVI video signals over CAT 5-type cables. This will provide an effective method of extending the DVI signals from the PC sources to the SMX 88 DVI Pro board. The DVI 201 supports DDC and HDCP, which will provide reliable long distance DVI signal distribution. The ExtronDVI104 Fiber Optic Extenders will be used to extend the DVI output from the WindoWall Processors to the displays. The analog PC sources will be scaled and converted to DVI using ExtronRGB-DVI300 scalers. Additional analog PC sources will be connected directly to the SMX 88 VGA board, along with the cable TV receivers, DVD player, and perimeter camera. This will bring all digital and analog video sources into WindoWall as a single system.

    AudioSystemsThe SMX 400 frame will be populated with an SMX 1616 A audio I/O board for distribution of the source audio signals to the ExtronXPA1002 and XPA2001 Power Amplifiers. The XPA 2001 will be used for the eight ExtronSI26CT Ceiling Speakers to provide even coverage throughout the room. The XPA 1002 will be used for the ExtronSI28 Surface Mount Speakers located on each side of the display system. The SI 28 speakers will provide proper orientation of the audio with the video source viewed on the display wall.

    Room Needs AssessmentStaffing The judge and clerk are responsible for managing

    the courtroom. They both need touchpanel displays with video confidence feedback to control and manage content throughout the proceedings. The clerk may be required to display recorded evidence from his or her workstation PC. Both the judge and the clerk may restrict the viewing of evidence to the jury and audience, by muting the video signal to specific displays.

    DisplayRequirements

    All jurors need to be provided with their own displays in order to focus their attention. The prosecution and defense teams will also need to see the content, in order to monitor what is being presented to the witness and jury. Two large displays will also be required to provide the evidence content to the gallery, or audience members.

    Sources Laptops, PCs, paper documents, and video presentations are the primary content used to introduce and show evidence to the judge and/or jury. Electronic evidence is submitted through a central evidence center, and electronic evidence may need to be annotated or marked up to highlight specific details to the judge and jury. There needs to be the capability to print these markups and save them to a file system.

    FunctionalRequirements

    The main design goal is to provide a content delivery system that is easy to set up, reliable, and easy to operate. The system must provide a strong backbone for future expansion, while accommodating integration of legacy equipment and signal types during the analog-to-digital transition period. Consistent resolution and aspect ratio is a requirement that must be maintained for all display devices in the system. Digital formats will provide uniformity in signal performance through several active digital video devices. Optimum resolutions are maximized through the use of the EDID functionality as part of the DVI format.

    System Design SolutionDisplaySystem Twelve 20 inch (51 cm) HDTV displays are required in the jury box to display the electronic evidence and other content, while two 65 inch (165 cm) plasma displays are needed for presenting evidence to the gallery. Three additional 20 inch (51 cm) HDTV displays are located at the witness stand, prosecution, and defense tables.

    SourcesThe prosecution and defense tables shall provide analog and digital source input connectivity to the content display system via an ExtronCableCubby600. An ExtronDVS304DVI Video and RGB Scaler is used to convert the analog signals to DVI while scaling them to the intended resolution and aspect ratio. DVI signals at these locations are pre-switched using a four-input ExtronSW4DVIPlus switcher.

    The evidence station includes a similar connectivity and is further enhanced with the addition of a DVD player, high resolution document camera, and touchpanel display. The heart of the evidence station is an ExtronAnnotator. The Annotator provides selection of multiple input formats and has integrated scaling that outputs the required resolution, aspect ratio, and appropriate signal format using the optional DVI output. The Annotator, with a third-party touchscreen provides all the tools required to highlight and emphasize any electronic evidence. The clerks desk includes a PC workstation that may, on occasion, be used to provide content to the displays.

    DigitalMatrixSwitchingSystemAn ExtronDXP88DVIPro 8x8 matrix switcher is the heart of the system, and provides signal routing from the aforementioned sources to the displays. The matrix switchers EDID Minder feature is used to negotiate resolution information from the digital displays to set each sources output to match their native resolution.

    SignalDistributionExtronDVIDA8Plus distribution amplifiers, attached to the DXP88DVIPro outputs drive jury displays and information sent for gallery viewing.

    ExtronDVI201 Twisted Pair Transmitters and Receivers are used extensively to extend 1080p signals 75 feet and beyond. EDID communications and HDCP can be passed through the DVI 201.

    ExtronFOX500DVI Fiber Optic Extender products are utilized to transport evidence to the central monitoring location. They address system requirements for distance and content security.

    TheExtronDVI-RGB150 is used for converting DVI signals to analog RGBHV for use with a digital recorder.

    ControlInterfaceThe judge and clerk are responsible for managing the content presented in the courtroom. Two control system touchpanels with video feedback are needed. The DVI-RGB 150 interfaces, in conjunction with Extron MTP Twisted Pair products, are again utilized for proper signal distribution.

    Municipal Courtroom System

    OverviewThe Municipal court is a lower court which usually tries criminal misdemeanors and civil lawsuits involving lesser amounts of money than superior, district, or county courts. Municipal courts have city or county-wide jurisdiction, conduct preliminary hearings, and try cases of up to $25,000. The environment is fast-paced and A/V support systems must be easy to set up and operate.

  • 38 Extron Digital Design Guide

    System Design SolutionDisplaySystem Two 1920x1080 DLP projectors projecting onto motorized screens, arranged side-by-side and ceiling-mounted above the stage at the front of the room. Individual screen sizes are approximately 133 inches (338 cm) diagonal with a 16x9 aspect ratio.

    CamerasTwo HD cameras will be installed on wall mounts, one mounted in the rear of the room and facing the instructor. The second camera will be mounted in the front of the room, facing the classroom.

    DigitalMatrixSwitchingandSignalManagementThe ExtronDXP88DVIPro 8x8 matrix switcher will function as the heart of the system. All HDMI, DVI, VGA and composite sources will be converted to the DVI for seamless integration with the displays and other peripheral equipment. HDMI and DVI source material with HDCP content protection will be switched alongside non-HDCP sources within the matrix switcher.

    LecternSourcesAn ExtronAnnotatorwill be located at the lectern and will provide local switching, scaling, and annotation capabilities for the instructor. VGA, DVI and composite video connections from an ExtronCableCubby600 will feed the Annotator inputs. The Annotator will be used to scale and convert all lectern sources to DVI at a 1920x1080 resolution.

    DigitalSignalDistributionandExtensionExtronHDMI201 and DVI201 Twisted Pair Transmitters and Receivers will be paired to extend DVI and HDMI video signals over shielded CAT 5e cables. The HD cameras, and the digital inputs at the floor box will use this common cabling infrastructure. DDC and HDCP transmission is supported, which will provide reliable long distance DVI and HDMI signal distribution. The analog video and PC sources will be scaled and converted to DVI using an ExtronRGB-DVI300 scaler.

    MultiGraphicsProcessorAn ExtronMGP464 Multi-Graphic Processor is used to provide quad screen views to the confidence monitor. All sources can route digitally through the DVI matrix switcher and into the quad processor.

    FiberDistributionFiber optics with ExtronFOXBOX4GDVIPlus Extenders will be used to cover the substantial distances from the control room to a central monitoring location. The FOXBOX 4G DVI Plus transmits signals up to 1920x1200 and HDTV 1080p, and supports bi-directional RS-232 control over the fiber infrastructure. All content from the lectern location will be transmitted with pixel-for-pixel image quality via FOXBOX 4G DVI Plus extenders.

    Lecture Hall System

    Room Needs AssessmentStaffing Instructors require the flexibility to present multiple

    sources from the lectern during classes. There is a need to provide annotation and mark-up of materials being presented, regardless of their incoming video signal type.

    SourceLocations Lectern: The lectern will feature several source input options, the ability to annotate over source materials, and provide many hands-on controls for monitoring and interacting with source materials.

    FloorBox: A floor box at the front of the lecture hall will allow additional equipment to be connected to the display system. HDMI, DVI, and VGA connections will be provided through the use of twisted pair extenders.

    ControlRoom: The control room will allow for operational support of the system and feature the majority of the switching, scaling, signal distribution, and monitoring for the system.

    DisplayRequirements

    An instructors 65 inch (165 cm) confidence monitor will be accompanied by two projectors for viewing materials in the classroom. The confidence display will be capable of showing four different sources at one time, providing a comprehensive view of various materials. The two DLP projectors will project onto screens located at the front of the room and above the white board.

    FunctionalRequirements

    Classroom presentations and instruction are intended to be recorded for archiving and distribution to a central monitoring location. Cameras located within the classroom will be focused on capturing both the instructor and classroom participants.

    OverviewThis lecture hall is a large room capable of seating approximately 80 students with stadium-style seating, providing clear and unobstructed views of a large screen at the front of the room, along with two large projection screens. A large lectern is located in front of the room, serving as the central point for content delivery and control. This system is designed to support the visual communication needs of a modern educational classroom. It supports digital and analog sources using a digital switching infrastructure that manages HDCP digital content protection, from the point of origin to any given destination.
