Integrated Information Systems was appointed by the North Carolina Department of Public Safety to deploy and install a new AV system for the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) situation room.
The integrator worked closely with the state’s IT team and selected Extron FOX3 fibre optic systems. Content from multiple 4K/60 HDMI and USB sources and camera feeds is available for presentation on the EOC’s many display devices simultaneously. During a crisis, the Situation Room’s 3x3 videowall driven by an Extron Quantum Ultra 4K videowall processor is the focal point.
To help drive videoconferencing in the Situation Room, an Extron MediaPort HDMI and audio to USB scaling bridge is connected to the system at the main workstation.
The North Carolina state officials use the EOC for centralised monitoring, control, and sharing of video and audio from the wide array of sources to communicate with local personnel on the ground.
Tre Washington, General Manager at Integrated Information Systems, commented: “AV system reliability is critical in an EOC. The Extron team made it possible to keep the EOC open, not only with their products but also with their support; everything with Extron is top notch.”
