Case Study7BENEFITS OF GLOBAL AV STANDARDS

AV Archetype Provided Cost ContainmentState Street sought cost effec ve roll out of video and audio systems across numerous, global offices. Specific to State Street criteria, Verrex custom designed templates for common State Street room types that allowed the firm to grow its unique AV infrastructure globally, without each office having to do the groundwork on their own. Loca ons including Boston, Kansas City, Dublin and Milan selected an established room or system model to be deployed. Proven processes for design, engineering, project management, fabrica on and installa on further streamlined integra on.

Interface Standards Op mized Produc vityRather than “cookie cu er” solu ons, Verrex created standards exclusive to State Street’s enterprise needs. Control system func onality and touchpanel layouts were designed to ensure user interfaces were familiar, intui ve and State Street-branded, regardless of loca on. Such standards increased produc vity and alleviated training needs, allowing a Vice President from the Princeton office to walk into the Frankfurt office and conduct a videoconference without support or down me.

Accountability Evolved In-Line with Objec vesSprawling projects such as the build-out of State Street headquarters in Boston and London required management of mul ple teams and commissioning of dozens of systems concurrently. To meet State Street’s objec ves of me-cri cal deployment and comple on within budget, Verrex assigned dedicated project managers, ensuring accountability and clearly-defined leadership at all project stages.

Managed Services Improved ROI on AV AssetsState Street’s economic and opera onal mandates to avoid unplanned service costs and ensure peak systems’ performance required long term, post installa on support throughout North America and Europe. Verrex implemented a comprehensive suite of managed services providing State Street with protec on for their AV investments at fixed annual costs. Under the mul -year program, State Street received unlimited service visits, priority service response, preven ve maintenance, 24/7 on-call Service Desk support, remote device management and systems training.

On-Site Staffing Decreased Opera onal StrainResource reali es, such as finding, training and managing its AV personnel,prompted State Street to seek a staffing solu on. Verrex deployed fully integrated, Verrex-managed AV workforces at key State Street loca ons worldwide, responsible for supplemen ng in-house staff. Sites such as Boston, Toronto and London u lized this onsite staffing segment of Verrex managed services to provide live mee ng produc on support, room checks & setup and Tier 1 troubleshoo ng.

Global Perspec ve Addressed DiversityAlthough a degree of commonality exists between all offices, acknowledging the diversity between State Street’s mul -country loca ons was crucial. Adap ng to how one office differed culturally from another meant, first and foremost, respec ng that culture. Verrex u lized its Global Allied Network to ensure teams were aware of proper prac ces and procedures at all mes.

Audiovisual systems and services integrated consistently worldwide accelerates adop on of State Street’s global vision for conferencing, collabora on and presenta on technologies.

Project Profile9KPMG LLPExecutive Boardroom (New York, NY)Crea ng a space to encourage collabora on, provide for op mum communica on, maximize the impact of high-defini on presenta ons and aesthe cally represent the firm’s pres gious reputa on, were the criteria in the design and integra on of AV for KPMG’s Execu ve Boardroom. KPMG, provider of assurance, tax, legal, consul ng and financial advisory services to clients around the globe, selected Verrex for this key, AVenhanced execu ve space.

ChallengesIncorporate extensive audiovisual technology into the Execu ve Boardroom without overwhelming mee ng par cipants or impac ng the room’s refined style. Display and audio conference components would need to be integrated into the custom, marble-inlay table.

Solu onsDuring the design phase, Verrex provided documenta on and direc on for build-out and infrastructure requirements to the architect and contractors. This ensured system func onality and performance needs would be met while keeping the integrity of the interior design intact. Plans for addressing environmental factors, such as ligh ng and shade control, were also a focus during the design phase. Verrex Design, Project Management and Field Engineers worked closely with the millwork contractor to seamlessly embed AV components into the custom table.

The Boardroom presenta on system allows for the display of high-defini on video sources and computer graphics onto a large projec on screen via a ceiling-mounted projector, which is recessed in the soffit. The projected image is forma ed for high-defini on, wide-screen technology. In addi on to the main projec on display system,the custom-built Boardroom table is equipped with twelve 17" flat panel LCD monitors. Each monitor resides in a motorized li -housing that rises up out of the table when needed, and recesses under the table when not in use. Posi oned between two seated mee ng par cipants, the monitor shows the same image displayed on themain projec on screen. Program audio for the presenta on sources is routed through a digital surround processor and distributed to four, high-quality wall-mounted loud-speakers at the front and rear of the room.

At each of the 26 seated table posi ons, unique audio conference equipment is embedded into the millwork and virtually concealed when not in use. All table posi ons include a low profile microphone in a flip top, capaci ve microphone mute switch with green LED to indicate ac ve state, headset port and an individual loudspeaker. Incoming audio from conference calls is routed to each loudspeaker providing op mum volume per par cipant sta on. In addi on, all embedded microphones have a dedicated echo canceling processor to eliminate noise and echo during an audio conference.

The Boardroom’s audiovisual systems can be controlled from a dedicated operator’s sta on within the room or from the equipment rack sta on located outside. Each control sta on is equipped with iden cal 15" LCD touchscreen controllers withcustom menus and graphics.

Project Profile10ALCATEL-LUCENTExecutive Video Conference Room (Murray Hill, NJ)Telecommunica ons leader, Alcatel-Lucent, required a video conference solu on that would u lize the company’s own network and allow execu ves, from various points on the globe, to interact as if they were all in the room together. Alcatel-Lucent selected Verrex to design and install this cri cal execu ve-mandated project.

ChallengesDismantle the exis ng 11-year old system and integrate a high-defini on videoconference solu on in its place. Architectural modifica ons would be required to adapt the room and ensure an authen c collabora ve experience. The innova ve system would have to be as intui ve as possible for high-level execu ves to use unaided at all hours. A demanding deadline of just six weeks would require flawless coordina on and execu on.

Solu onsWith Verrex Sales advanced in design, unique details and equipment were specified prior to moving to the engineering stage. The Verrex Design team provided the project architect with drawings for reconstruc on to ensure the room suited the new technology. In order to meet the strict meline, Verrex Project Management was tasked with driving the en re schedule and coordinated all trades including architects, ligh ng contractors and construc on teams.

All components were designed with an infrastructure to support 1080p. This three-display boardroom features a 60" x 107" 16:9 rear-projec on screen flanked by two 46" LCD displays, all capable of displaying a variety of sources. An HD LCD projectorand custom mirror assembly are housed in the renovated projec on room. Verrexspecified an HD conferencing codec to deliver high-defini on voice, video and content sharing. Ceiling-mounted loudspeakers provide high quality audio.

A 12" tabletop mul media touchpanel and 8" wireless lectern touchpanel control all audiovisual and specially designed ligh ng in the room. The tabletop touchpanel features both “user” and “tech” modes. User mode, with a simple and intui ve interface, allows execu ves to conduct presenta ons and video conferencing and

features speed and one-touch dialing. The tech mode allows AV and IT support staff to manage all system components. The control system was also custom programmed to create unique, visual ligh ng cues: lights illuminate on the ac ve par cipants and darken in the galley sea ng area.

Two dis nct room details provide addi onal visual cues: microphone status collars translate mic state into colors (green for a live mic, red when muted and yellow during system warm-up) and a mul zone digital clock is mounted in the soffit.

Project Profile11THE NIELSEN COMPANYExecutive Center (Wilton, CT)The Nielsen Company, a global leader in media & market research, data measurement and analysis enlisted the exper se of Verrex to integrate mul ple audiovisual systems throughout its new Execu ve Center in Wilton. The space, an extension of the firm’s New York City headquarters, would serve as a base for a number of Nielsen Company Execu ves. It was crucial that the client’s meline be met, the systems be intui ve and the company’s well-known brand be properly represented.

Verrex integrated Nielsen’s boardroom, several dedicated video conference rooms, a divisible mul purpose room, a duo of collabora on spaces, employee café and CEO office and conference room. In addi on to these spaces, Verrex was tasked with bringing The Nielsen Company brand to life in a crea ve and bold way inside their high-traffic lobby space. Bypassing typical corporate posters and sta c messaging, Verrex provided a three zone digital signage solu on that would engage employees and visitors, complement the striking lobby design and serve as an informa on hub for the corpora on’s ac vi es and news.

Three Zones, One Compelling MessageThe Nielsen Company corporate lobby was broken into three zones for digital signage integra on: an interac ve video wall in the main por on of the lobby; a row of six plasma displays in the lobby hallway; and a single LCD display opposite the recep on desk.

First ImpressionsA 5x5 Chris e MicroTile video wall greets visitors in the main por on of the lobby. The video wall was strategically posi oned directly in front of the elevator bays to engage and cap vate visitors immediately. Verrex integrated 25 interlocking MicroTiles, flush-mounted to a wall specifically constructed for the large video display. Visitors areintroduced to The Nielsen Company and its exper se via unique digital content, authored by Verrex content partner Arsenal Media. Visitors can interact directly with the video wall: select content, answer ques ons and manipulate graphics. The digital signage system includes an infrared mo on detec on system, laser camera and interac ve server.

Further along the lobby, outside an entrance to the main office space, visitors are engaged by a corridor of six thin-bezel plasmas. This “Plasma Row” features addi onal orchestrated content. Comple ng the lobby signage is a single display across from the recep on desk with its own series of Nielsen content.

The result of these three digital signage zones is an immersive, cohesive journey through The Nielsen Company brand story, star ng the moment visitors enter the Execu ve Center.

Project Profile12ARNOLD WORLDWIDEPresentation & Screening Room (Boston, MA)Arnold, the leading ad agency responsible for energizing brands such as Volvo, Carnival Cruise Lines and Jack Daniels, sought to convey an unmistakable message to clients and staff about their world-class crea vity, energy and insight. Arnold selected Verrex to help deliver this message via the agency’s AV-enhanced Presenta on & Screening Room, featuring an eye-catching 190" x 60" rear projec on display. The results are powerful reac ons from clients and staff the moment they enter the room.

ChallengesThe room’s intended use, to present campaigns to clients and staff, demanded an exci ng, flexible solu on. Visual impact was foremost with a display that would fill the en re front wall, capable of mul -configura ons. A powerful audio solu on would be needed to fuel presenta ons. Environmentally-conscious Arnold requested the project be “green-friendly”, including reuse of exis ng equipment when possible.

Solu onsTo provide Arnold with a complete solu on, Verrex coordinated with the project architect, MEP engineer, furniture supplier and general contractor. This included a needs analysis to ini ate design direc on and AV architectural drawing development. Verrex worked in parallel with the architect’s development of interiors to ensure all client specifica ons would be met. The room required specific interior build-out as well as acous cal, ligh ng and window treatments.

The Presenta on Room features a single, glass rear projec on screen with 16:9 HD aspect ra o. Three projectors allow for mul ple display configura ons: a single 190" x 60" con nuous image that fills the en re wall; a centered 107" x 60" single image with 16:9 aspect ra o; or two images, one on either side. Presenta on sources include high-defini on and standard DVD, laptop, two game consoles, satellite radio and DVR. The system features a sophis cated, mul -window image processor with edge-blending capabili es.

Verrex recognized audio would play a cri cal role in energizing presenta ons. To achieve an immersive effect, audio from the various sources is broadcast through a

powerful, 7.1 surround sound system. Six full-range program speakers in the ceiling and a front-firing subwoofer incorporated into the front wall deliver robust sound throughout the room.

A custom programmed 6" touchpanel at the main table, which can alternate between wireless and wired, permits non-technical users to easily conduct mee ngs through the use of intui ve menus. To further enhance the audience experience, Verrex also incorporated control of environmental devices such as ligh ng and shades. Arnold staff can easily direct presenta ons, adjust audio, recall ligh ng scenes and set the right mood, all from the integrated touchpanel.

Several best prac ces in “green AV” were featured in the project including an e-control system for remote monitoring of system status. Programmed to shut down when not in use or at the end of the business day, remote monitoring helps preserve the life of projec on lamps and cuts down on energy consump on.
