Section 1: Introduction
The purpose of this publication is to ensure that audio-visual facilities within the University
of South Australia are designed and constructed to a consistent standard proposed by the
division of Information Strategy and Technology Services (ISTS).
These guidelines should be used as the standard to which the facilities will be designed.
Where for any reason, these standards cannot be met, consultation during the design stage,
prior to the commencement of any construction works, should be undertaken with ISTS.
The task of defining the use for a space is beyond the scope of this document. When
designing a space, its functionality should be specified in the early stages of the project,
prior to the AV system design.
This publication details the physical requirements for the audio-visual equipment to be used
in spaces such as classrooms, meeting rooms, PC labs and lecture theatres. Building works
are managed by the Facilities Management Unit (FMU) and their approval must be received
before any work is performed.
ISTS notionally endorses the AETM AV Guidelines as a companion document subject to the
specifics of the University of South Australia’s AV Specifications.
