5 2. Common A/V Room Elements Montgomery College s OIT Audio Visual (A/V) specifications are comprised of two parts: (1) the common A/V elements that are built into all appropriate rooms to support A/V technology and (2) specifications for the actual audio visual equipment deployed in addition to the common A/V elements to meet the technology need. All implementations of A/V equipment are unique, requiring an analysis by IT for specific components and cost estimates. Common A/V room elements consist of Lighting Control, Image Projection, Sound Systems and Room Infrastructure. Lighting Control All rooms will have some means to control light in the room. The lighting switch should be located next to the screen control. In the case of natural light this means window and/or door treatments that can darken or block all natural light entering the room. Artificial light control is accomplished by use of a combination of on/off switches or dimmers. Lighting can be dimmed for projected image viewing while still maintaining enough light for writing notes and for safety issues. Low voltage lighting control systems can be utilized to place lighting control at the teaching station as well as at the traditional entrance wall. Image Projection All rooms will have a means of showing projected images. Projection can be either fixed (mounted) or portable and requires a suitable surface onto which the image can be projected. Projectors and screens are to be appropriately sized for each room and located to maximize viewing for all room occupants. Note: the College is utilizing high definition digital displays in most conference and meeting rooms. Sound Systems Designated rooms will have a means of sound reinforcement: defined as amplifying an audio signal input and distributing it throughout the room via speakers. Independent control is required to allow for sufficient volume for all of the room occupants without causing disruption to surrounding rooms. Room Infrastructure (cabling) All rooms will have the base infrastructure cabling built into the room to accommodate all of the necessary systems. Conduit pathways are required for cabling for some of these systems. This cabling includes, but is not limited to: Lighting Image projection Sound system Power general room and specific system requirements 5
