Audio Visual

A.V. For An I.T. World

NoiseBox · May 21, 2014 ·

New Blueprint For Commissioning A.V. is Born !

A trend is something that starts at a point in time – generally at a time when dissatisfaction is occurring and a change from the ‘norm’, affecting a better outcome, is required.

Some trends endure to become a ‘standard’, but most are tried and abandoned for various reasons, as change requires ‘REVOLUTION’.

Noisebox is at the centre of such a revolution, by rethinking how Audio Visual equipment is commissioned into corporate environments.

Deloitte is a case in point because of a long history of wide spread dissatisfaction with their standard procedures.

To paraphrase a senior property and facilities management executive, “Every project involving AV to date has be a spectacular failure”.

Traditionally managing the process of design, specifications, tendering, implementation and commissioning of equipment, has been handled exclusively at an ‘academic’ level, which has proven, too often, to focus on outcomes that are mainly premised by, the ‘lowest price wins’ ideology: –
– (The tender is handled by several building companies, through a tendering process, which is scuttled by the AV tenderers in a race to the very bottom.
Implementation follows the winner’s motto of cheapest price wins and variations are now the ‘main game’).

Result being, that the academics get to earn their keep, and the client gets what they get. This is an all too familiar scenario and one that requires change, as, in this highly technical age, expertise lies with the experts in their fields and not with the academics.

So what are the options?

To get off this ‘merry-go-round’ of ineffectiveness that has ensued, Noisebox has implemented a system, which has more accountability and provides direct access to hands-on expertise.

This is how it has worked for our ‘Happy Customer’ Deloitte., firstly, the services of a specialised AV company who provide a concierge audio visual service is engaged and whereby technical support staff are embedding into the Deloitte offices in both Sydney and Melbourne.

Next they married the concierge staff with the corporate services staff, allowing for relevant, planning and preparation dialogue before meetings and corporate events, facilitating an environment whereby, the people who are responsible for delivering the outcomes are all together in a cooperative and interdependent environment.

RESULTS: Happy presenters, Satisfied event attendees, Less anxiety and ultimately, SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES! ✔✔✔✔✔

While this system was working well the installed equipment was just not keeping up. The question that needed answering was:-

What if the operator of the systems could have direct dialogue with the actual people who installed the technology?, would Deloitte get better outcomes? Would it change the trend of spiraling equipment failures?

What ensued was, Corporate Technology Services became the client and Noisebox Integrated Technologies, became the solutions designers and installers, being completely and unequivocally responsible for all outcomes.

Problem solved, new ‘blueprint’ for the smooth installation of audiovisual and video conferencing integrated technologies, is born.

MATV Master Aerial TV

NoiseBox · Dec 12, 2012 ·

Master Antennae TV – a communal aerial system that uses a master aerial to receive the signal before it is distributed.

Many venue operators are looking for an edge – if you have invested heavily in offering a Sports bar or any sort of large screen viewing facility you will want to create a “just like being there environment” so your patrons keep coming back. Destination venues create customer loyalty and to achieve this the technology must deliver the experience.

The biggest misconception about digital TV is that all programs are transmitted in high definition (HD) when in fact TV programs are mainly still standard definition (SD) but are viewed through the digital tuner that “makes” the picture look better.  The jargonistic terms also don’t help with demystifying the technology, descriptions like “1080P” and “true high definition” don’t mean that much to the average person. In reality there are several high definition resolutions (picture quality) including true HD at 1080P, 720P and barely HD but more SD 576P. Obviously the best resolution is 1080P, but 720P & 576P can look ok.

For venue operators the problem has been how to get PAY TV (PTV) channels to appear through the digital tuner on the TV. Most venues have used analogue modulation where the AV signal from the PTV box is turned into an analogue RF channel and subsequently appears via the analogue tuner on your expensive flat panel  screen. So Digital TV (DTV) came along and you could get all the free to air (FTA) channels on the digital tuner and all the PTV channels on the analogue tuner. Not very practical for venue management, usually they opted to just show all the channels through the analogue tuner… bye bye HD TV… until now.

Like most technology it gets cheaper the more they make, what was $3000 per SD PTV channel is now currently at around $800.00 per PTV channel. Added to this Sky Channel now provides a digital signal at the set top box so Sky 1 & Sky 2 are available as a 576P SD signal viewable through the digital tuner on your TV. Foxtel is the only provider that has kept to the AV format but offers true 1080P HD programs through the IQ2 box.  Venues could then have either a 4 channel SD modulation for all the Fox sports channels OR maybe an additional one HD modulator for programs transmitted in true HD.

Implementing these facilities at a venue is reasonably straight forward so long as the basic infrastructure (antenna & cabling) are not too old. Assuming that the venue has a good base the job of upgrading to digital requires the removal of equipment at the RF hub and installation of the digital modulators. A retune of all the televisions to pick up the new digital signals completes the upgrade.
