Audiovisual Systems Project Documentation Sample

Preface

InfoComm International® is pleased to offer this collection of audiovisual systems drawings and
documents. This is a coordinated example of the unique documentation required for AV systems
showing how the audiovisual systems documents relate to documentation from allied professions. In
addition, the collection illustrates elements of the Audiovisual Systems Design and Coordination
Components Performance Standard.

The collection fulfills two objectives:

• Business development: consultants and sales professionals can convey documentation

concepts to other design and construction professionals using concrete examples.

• Educational: InfoComm Academy students can associate design criteria and goals with
appropriate representation and documentation.

Illustrating the intention of the performance standard, this sample collection accommodates a
variety of contractual and project management models, allowing the user to decide which
documents specifically pertain to his or her project.

The documents are divided into sections based upon either 1) the project phase, or 2) the
professional entity that prepares the documents. Documents from architects, engineers,
consultants, integrators and field engineers are organized according to the project timeline. Both
“Design” and “Drawing of Record” versions of most audiovisual-specific drawings are included so
the user can study differences in intention and level of detail. Further detail may be found in the
normative references listed in the Audiovisual Systems Design and Coordination Components
Performance Standard and by attending related InfoComm Academy courses, webinars and
seminars.

Users of this collection are cautioned that this sample represents one of many ways to document a
project, and may not conform to the conventions used by the user’s organization. None of these
documents is an absolute, perfect, industry-standardized example. The examples are drawn from:

• A combination of actual documents used to construct the InfoComm Academy Classroom in

Fairfax, VA.

• Examples from other audiovisual consultants and audiovisual systems integrators.

• New documents developed specifically for this collection.

InfoComm has a long history of leading open discussion on industry knowledge documentation.
InfoComm welcomes your input via the Reviewer’s Comments Form included in this collection, or by
sending an email to [email protected].

INFOCOMM ACADEMY AUDIOVISUAL PROGRAM REPORT JANUARY 14, 2009

Executive Summary
InfoComm Academy, the educational program of InfoComm International, is planning for
a new classroom/meeting facility to be located on the 1st floor of the Waples Mill Road
headquarters building in Fairfax, VA. Audiovisual capabilities will be included in a state-
of-the-art teaching/training/meeting facility with an associated rear projection room.

The facility area will include a classroom/meeting room, a reception/lobby area, a

cafeteria with pantry and a storage area. Voice/Data network interfacing is also
considered as it relates to the classroom/meeting area.

ABC AV Company has been retained by InfoComm International to provide this Report,
which after consultation with representatives of InfoComm International, addresses
the architectural and system requirements for the facility. Also our recommendations are
based on our experience with similar facilities.

An audiovisual facility drawing of the classroom/meeting area and budgetary pricing

estimates are included.

Documentation and drawings with be provided for coordination into the construction set
of drawings once the Program has been modified and/or approved. Also a “Request
For Proposal” (RFI) will be developed which will include all pertinent details for the
installation of a fully operational audiovisual facility.

Audiovisual Systems Project Documentation Sample
INFOCOMM ACADEMY AUDIOVISUAL PROGRAM REPORT JANUARY 14, 2009

Systems Descriptions
The InfoComm Academy classroom will feature a “media wall” at the front. The wall will
be constructed of standard sheetrock-on-stud materials, but with an attractive covering
and millwork. Dual rear projection LCD or DLP projectors will be mounted within the
rear projection room located behind this wall. A videoconference camera, a center
channel loudspeaker, and a subwoofer will be mounted between the displays. Dual
program audio loudspeakers will be mounted beside the dual display assembly. The
audiovisual and videoconferencing equipment will be located within a bank of
equipment racks built into the front wall below the projection screens. These racks will
house the switchers, amplifiers, controllers, etc. The racks will also house the user-
accessible equipment such as a VCR, a DVD player, an audiocassette recorder, etc.,
such that the fronts of the racks are completely open. As this room is to be used
primarily for audiovisual systems education, it is appropriate and desirable to have the
equipment completely exposed.

The center of the room will feature sectional, rectilinear tables. The tables may be
arranged in a variety of configurations to suit the meetings, training sessions, and
videoconferences. Large wall boxes located at the sides and rear of the room will
contain connections for portable computers to be connected to the LAN and power. A
microphone will be located in the ceiling to pick up voices from within the room for the
purposes of audio conferencing and videoconferencing. A wireless microphone and a
wired touch controller will allow flexibility during presentations. Built-in videoconference
and distance learning capabilities will also utilize this equipment. Presenters may utilize
a teaching workstation that will feature a video document camera, and notebook
computer connectivity.

Ceiling loudspeakers will provide reinforcement of speech from presenters from within
the room, and from incoming audio conference voices. A second video camera will be
located on the rear wall to provide coverage of the workstation locations for
videoconferences. Dual ceiling-mounted presentation monitors will provide confidence
monitoring for presenters. Dual rear-channel loudspeakers will be mounted on the rear
wall to provide surround sound capabilities. A remote control system will provide the
means to easily control the equipment from the instructor workstation. This control
system will also be tied into the classroom light dimming system, and two electric roll-
down projection screens.

Classroom features:

• Front Media Wall with:

• Large, dual LCD / DLP projection video graphics displays
• Videoconference camera
• Program loudspeakers
• Center and subwoofer loudspeakers

Infrastructure Considerations
Lighting shall be installed in a manner that will illuminate the faces of people at the table
to enhance the video presentation. Additional lighting shall be installed to illuminate the
wall behind the people in the room. Both sets of lights should have dimming capabilities
to allow for adjustments of the lighting intensity. Task lighting and general-purpose
fluorescent lighting will be available for customizing to different room purposes and be
dimmable. The dimming system should be under the control of the audiovisual control
system via a low voltage interface, and coupled to the audiovisual control system. Also
the ceiling lights in the projection screen area should be dimmable in order to realize the
full projected image quality.

Videoconferencing applications require special lighting which should include even

illumination on the meeting participants. The lighting level should be 70 ft. candles,
vertical, with a color temperature of 3,500 degrees Kelvin. Also the lighting levels on
the front wall should be less than 40 ft. candles and the rear and sidewalls should be 45
– 60 ft. candles. There should be minimum contrast between wall and furniture colors.
Matte colors are recommended. Busy patterns, weaves and wood-grains should not be
used. Reflective hardware should not be used and tabletops should be non-reflective.
Pictures with glass covers should be avoided.

The following list is the estimated power consumption for the audiovisual equipment:

• Rear Projection Room equipment ≤ 4400 Watts

• Classroom equipment: ≤ 1200 Watts
• Personal computer ≤ 1000 Watts
• Document camera ≤ 150 Watts

The estimated heat load due to the audiovisual equipment within the seating area, the
audiovisual equipment racks, and video graphics presentation equipment shall require
ventilation as follows:

• Rear projection room equipment: 15,000 BTU

• Classroom equipment: 4,000 BTU

Acoustic Criteria must be considered for the classroom space, and a Noise Criteria
rating between NC-25 and NC-30 is recommended.

The audiovisual recommendations do not include provisions for LAN or voice networks
or other similar systems. Architectural considerations such as wall and floor treatments,
seating, lighting, acoustics, etc. are to be coordinated with the interior design team.
Architectural presentation components such as flip charts, whiteboards, etc. are to be
specified in an interior design package by the architects unless they are requested to be
included in the audiovisual package.

Audiovisual Systems Commissioning Tests Checklist

Issued November 20, 2008

This checklist is intended to provide owners, consultants and integrators with a comprehensive
and singular source of tests to determine if the audiovisual system achieves the client’s goals or
objectives and that the system performs in accordance with the best practices of the industry. By
providing this list to the audiovisual industry, InfoComm is establishing a set of commissioning
guidelines to help industry professionals and their clients communicate effectively about their
expectations for system performance.

In many projects, not all tests are required for each system or circumstance. Owners and
designers can elect to include or exclude certain tests, as they may not be meaningful for a
particular system. In some instances, certain performance capabilities are less critical and
therefore stringent review of those capabilities is unnecessary. In other circumstances, certain
elements of the system may require more critical review, and the performance of that aspect of
the system may need to exceed the general guidelines outlined here. The commissioning process
for each system should be an agreed upon set of tests between the client and the designer.

The first three buttons allow users to automatically set up the room for a certain activity
they would like to conduct. For example, if the user wishes to give a presentation or
teach a class, he would push the Presentation button in order to power on the A/V
system and allow him to select the computer connection associated with the
presentation content. Similarly, pressing the Video Conference or Audio Conference
buttons automatically set up the room for conditions that are conducive to that
respective activity.

The final primary button, System Shut Down, allows the user to quickly shut down the
system once he has finished using the room. Pushing this button leads to a popup page

a. Main Navigation Area

The Main Navigation Area provides users with the ability to utilize the Crestron UPX
annotation device. The SEND UPX TO… button brings up a popup page that allows users
to select a specific destination for the UPX display. To begin annotation, users must first
select the ROUTER button in the Lower Navigation Bar and select a source. That source
will show up in the PREVIEW window in the Main Navigation Area. If the user wants to
annotate on top of that video, he must push the TAKE button to send that video to the
UPX for annotation. (Note: If the Annotation source is the same as the Preview source,
no video will be displayed in the ANNOTATE SOURCE window. Video will only be
displayed in the ANNOTATE SOURCE window if the annotation source is different than
the preview source.)

Once the user is ready to annotate, he must push the ANNOTATE button. That will
bring up the annotation screen on the touch panel where the user can select from
various drawing tools in order to effectively annotate the video source. Additionally,
users can push the WHITE BOARD or BLACK BOARD buttons to annotate a message on a
blank black or white canvas.
