every system, location of the PC input plate shall be installed as nominated on drawings.
2.16 Control Systems
RMIT has standardised on the AMX control system to control AV equipment throughout the University. This
control system shall allow for push-button keypad and touch panel control for the user as well as the ability to
have remote centralised management system (RMS).
The AV Integrator must ensure that all control system processor provided is of AMX manufacture and enabled
for AMX RMS. If the control system utilises an IPad as the Touch Panel, the IPad and TP Control’s license may
be allowed for by the Principle, the integrator must seek clarification at time of tender. The Principle will issue
ITunes, SSID & password details for the control system Touch Panel on request. The Touch Panel or Key Pad
shall be installed in a location that fulfills the DDA regulations for accessibility. This would generally mean that
the interface will be mounted at 1100mm AFFL and not closer than 600mm to a retuning wall. The DDA
regulations are revised annually and the document current at the time of installation shall be used.
2.16.1 Graphic User Interface
All RMIT touch panels shall be programmed to incorporate the RMIT standard Graphic User Interface (GUI),
including general layout, fonts, graphics and backgrounds. GUI files, shall be provided by the Principle upon
request. Any changes to the standard GUI or other forms of customisation must be approved by the Principle.
Technical support pages and interactive help information must be included in all touch panel GUIs. Details for
these pages must be approved by the Principal prior to commissioning. Help pages shall also include call for
help button that will send a context sensitive email message advising the room number and details of the
particular help page been viewed. A selection in the tech pages will allow for this feature to be turned on or off.
All programming source codes, including GUI files will be the property of RMIT, and must be provided to the
Principal at practical completion.
For further information regarding GUI layouts and functionality, refer to the RMIT AMX Design Guideline
document.
