CENTER FOR ALLIED HEALTH AND ATHLETICS FF&E April 24, 2014
SECTION 27 41 00 AUDIOVISUAL SYSTEMS
Marshall Craft Associates, Inc. 27 41 00-46
Project 12032
1. Several Simulation Laboratories shall be included in the Center for Allied Health and
Athletics, which the Allied Health faculty and students shall use as combined instructional
classroom spaces and medical simulation laboratories. Specific requirements for each
Laboratory are identified below. In general, all laboratories shall include an area for
classroom presentations featuring a 70” wall-mounted LCD flat panel display, along with
distributed ceiling loudspeakers for voice and program audio reinforcement. This
presentation area shall include a custom Instructor’s Station, which shall house all AV
presentation sources and hardware. Sources housed in the Instructor’s Station shall
include a Blu-Ray Disk Player, TV Tuner, Wireless iPad Interface, Digital Document
Camera, a dedicated Host PC Computer, as well as digital and analog input connections
for user-furnished laptop computers. Wireless lapel microphones shall be provided for
voice reinforcement. Presenters shall be able to display content from any of these
sources on the Flat Panel Display. A color remote control touch panel interface shall be
provided at the Instructor’s Station to give users full control over the AV presentation
system functions.
2. Each laboratory shall also include one or more Medical Simulation areas. Each
Simulation area shall feature three (3) ceiling-mounted PTZ video cameras to give
several different visual perspectives on the simulation area, as well as one ceiling-
mounted or wall-mounted microphone for capturing audio at the simulation area. Video
and audio signals shall be routed to a centralized equipment closet located in room 146,
where they shall be able to be recorded using network-based Medical Simulation
Servers. Video and audio from each area will be recorded and stored digitally through
these Servers, and will be able to be played back on PC computers throughout the facility
through data network connections. Content will be able to be protected to ensure privacy
for recorded simulation sessions. Additional inputs shall be available for video feeds from
simulation mannequins, simulation ambulances, and other similar devices, which will also
be able to be recorded on the Medical Simulation Servers. The basis of design for the
Medical Simulation Encoders is CAE Healthcare Learning Space. Contact CAE
Healthcare regarding installation and equipment requirements, in reference to quote
number 00005604. Two-way audio intercommunication between the control area and the
simulation areas shall be made possible through the LearningSpace system, and a
separate dedicated wireless Intercom system, to include a master station in the Control
Room capable of providing two-way communication with each simulation station.
Parabolic loudspeakers shall be mounted from the ceiling above each simulation station
to provide private audio reproduction at each simulation station, which will not be audible
at adjacent simulation stations.
3. System Interconnection: The functional interconnections of the RGBHV, video, audio,
and control systems shall be as detailed on the “TA” series drawing sheets associated
with this space.
4. Equipment Layout: The equipment in this area shall be located as detailed on the “TA”
series drawing sheets associated with this space.
5. Owner Furnished Equipment (OFE): Personal/Laptop Computer
6. System Details
a. Control System: The Control System will be controlled from a hardwired lectern
mount color LCD touchscreen that shall terminate at the specified custom instructor’s
station. From this touchscreen, users shall have full function control of all room
source and system functions (including a light dimming system) with one button
operation. These sources and associated electronics are to be detailed in the control
drawing associated with these rooms. Touchscreen layouts to be approved prior to
installation. It is intended to have the control system programmed to turn power on/off
for all system components with a single function button.
