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

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.

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.

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.
