Executive Risk
Executive Risk - Simsbury, Connecticut
HB was brought on board to provide a method for interfacing microphones, control systems and com/data connectivity within a uniquely designed and custom made boardroom table.
The table houses individual technology ports that incorporate Crown MB1 microphones for communication with the PictureTel videoconferencing system and the ProTek Series 2000 audioconferencing system. The tabletop control systems are linked into a PANJA Axcent-based touch panel, which controls all of the technology in the room. The touch screen, which also serves as a video monitor, can receive video feed and allows for a user to cue up a tape, control the lighting and adjust the sound.
The touch screen was designed to minimize menu hopping and maximize speed and efficiency. Audio video system configurations and room environment features are set with the touch of a single button. The window drapes close, lighting changes, sound distribution realigns and a Christie Marquee 8500 video projector extends from the ceiling via a motorized SVS lift. Other technical hardware such as a dedicated laptop and video teleconferencing equipment is hidden in integrated closets.
