1 INTRODUCTION
The Audio Visual department is part of RMIT’s ITS group. The department provides AV consultancy, project
and procurement support and AV contract management. The AV department consults widely across the
University to develop technology strategies to meet the current and future needs of stakeholders, as well as
providing clear guidelines around AV architecture, design and procurement. In parallel with this the department
works very closely with the RMIT AV Maintenance provider to ensure KPIs and service levels are being met
across all of RMITs installed AV infrastructure.
All AV systems throughout the University require involvement, in some form, from the AV department to ensure
that consistency, quality, value and fit-for-purpose elements are addressed. This document provides a basis for
this, in terms of technology choice and implementation standards.
The first section “General Principles” describes minimum standard requirements for any AV installation within
RMIT University. The second section “Specifications” describes in detail, standard room classifications and any
specific equipment functionality provided to the end user. These specifications will continue to be developed for
the end users based on current and future teaching methodologies/technologies. These standards should be
distributed to all AV vendors (including design and integration providers) for all AV works regardless of size and
scope.
