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.

28 Extron Digital Design Guide
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.

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

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.

36 Extron Digital Design Guide
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.
