Large companies, universities, associations and organisations often need large spaces dedicated to hosting events: concerts and shows, conventions and conferences, international meetings and training activities.
In all these cases, a careful design is required not only of the physical spaces available, but also of the User Experience of the environment and the specific use cases, for a final result capable of responding to the real and multiple needs of the Customer.
Auditoriums, Conference Rooms and Convention Halls require technological architectures whose spatial and functional design must meet aesthetic, technical and usability requirements.
Touchwindow bases its design and implementation of Enterprise Digital Workspaces on the study and analysis of 7 fundamental aspects:
01
FUNCTIONAL ORGANISATION OF SPACES
Designing an environment does not only mean designing a physical space, but imagining its use and organisation, transforming it into a digital Enterprise Environment accessible to all users.
We design Auditoriums, Convention Halls and Conference Rooms taking into account all possible combinations of spaces, implementing modular structures if necessary that can easily subdivide the environment for integrated multifunctional spaces.
02
CHOICE OF VISUALISATION SYSTEMS
To capture the audience's attention, Visualisation Systems with a strong visual impact, capable of enhancing the immersive experience and user engagement are essential.
The Visualisation Systems we integrate into these environments are Ledwalls, Touchwalls and Videowalls capable of creating unique visualisation experiences. If necessary, we combine or replace more classic visualisation systems with seamless video projection systems on fixed or motorised screens. For a completely customised architecture, tailored to the specific needs of the customer.
03
CHOICE OF SOUND DIFFUSION SYSTEMS AND AUDIO DEVICES.
Clarity of sound and intelligibility of speech, for in-person and remote users, are elements of great importance for an optimal User Experience in environments where the attention and involvement of the audience are often key to the success of the event.
We preliminarily conduct acoustic surveys and simulations of the space in which we will operate to obtain reverberation times and percentage of sound absorption. With the data in hand, we choose the correct configuration of the sound system, the best performing audio devices, and a microphone system parameterized to all possible types of use of the environment.
04
CHOICE OF LIGHTING SYSTEMS AND LIGHT FIXTURES
In these types of environments, it is important to keep participants' attention and concentration high for an engaging User Experience. Lighting contributes to achieving this goal.
It is essential that all spectators and users have a good view of the environment, and at the same time, lighting should not impede the visibility of display systems. The correct design of a lighting system for Auditoriums, Conference Rooms and Convention Halls, is based on architectural lights, which spread on the walls and ceilings designing and enhancing the spaces, entertainment lighting apparatuses such as spotlights, beam shapers and moving heads, which illuminate specific areas and activities that have to receive more attention at a given time, with a correct light/shadow ratio that produces the feeling of shape, appearance, thickness, depth, character.
05
INTEGRATION OF AUDIO, VIDEO, LIGHTING DIRECTION
Large environments such as Auditoriums, Conference Halls and Conference Rooms are characterised by their versatility of use: scalability of functions on one hand, and combined space management on the other, are the two aspects to consider in order to have truly multifunctional spaces that are integrated and interconnected.
We design Audio, Video and Light directions, fixed or mobile, based on the physical spaces available and the way the environment is used.
The AVL equipment can be managed from the direction stations, calling up customised pre-sets based on the customer's needs, distinguished by type of event, sharing mode, content to be displayed.
Through the automation of AVL systems and Over-IP distribution, it is possible to activate Room Combining functions to connect and make interoperable different environments in the same building.
06
INTEGRATION OF UNIFIED COMMUNICATION SOLUTIONS
Our Enterprise Digital Workspaces integrate cloud-based video conferencing, streaming and recording solutions that are interoperable with all popular platforms.
Unified Communication & Collaboration equipment integrates within the Room's Audio-Video infrastructure to enable the organization and management of so-called "hybrid" events, with in-person and remote audiences.
07
IMPLEMENTATION OF AVL AUTOMATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS
Our Digital Workspaces are characterised by easy and intuitive management, within the reach of all operators.
Triatic is the Software Platform developed by Touchwindow that contains a suite of tools for the automated management of the entire Audio, Video, Lighting and Environment infrastructure of the Digital Workspaces.
Triatic can be installed on Tablets, Smartphones and Touch Displays and allows you to manage and control, in a simple and autonomous way, all aspects related to the physical and digital environment, integrating with the control systems used by operators, typically present in these environments.
From hardware to video conferencing systems, from audio devices to video systems. We have all the devices you need to compose your customised digital environment.
Thanks to the various technical partners we collaborate with, we can adopt a neutral approach for all Projects: this allows us to integrate the hardware and AVL devices that are really best suited for the environment under consideration, with a constant focus on the quality and outcome of the Project.
The devices we use to compose our Solutions include
DEDICATED VIDEO SYSTEMS
for a quick, safe and secure distribution of over-IP signals, and video presentation systems: we integrate Crestron DM NVX devices into the existing IT infrastructure to transport Video, Audio, USB and Control signals. We install and configure Presentation Switchers for graphical processing of the relevant signals, with modular inputs and outputs for future scalability.
AUDIO SYSTEMS
identified according to the specific characteristics of the environment to be set up.
For diffusion systems, we use, among others, K-Array audio technologies, with their clean, linear lines, which are modular solutions capable of integrating into any complex installation.
For the microphones and radio microphones serving the room, we choose Shure and Biamp technologies, where the clarity, sharpness and discretion of the audio are combined with the innovative design of the equipment.
VIDEO CONFERENCING SYSTEMS
compatible with all collaboration platforms and integrable within the AV infrastructure of Enterprise Digital Workspaces, such as Poly Videoconferencing Solutions.
INTERACTIVE ACCESSORY SYSTEMS
to complete your digital engagement offering: Interactive desks that act as podiums for speakers, through which content can be shared on the main display systems, to be equipped as desired: automatic lift, integrated microphone, connections for external devices. Choose to complete your environment with our Interactive Solutions.
