Cornell University
Kennedy Hall – a large lecture space – is a heavily booked venue at Cornell University in Ithaca NY that must accommodate many types of AV presentations. Individual professors had been bringing in a myriad of portable equipment to meet their needs. This necessitated a significant amount of support for the room for each use and set up. The goal of the project was to consolidate all of the needs into one system with a user interface that would minimize the need for technical assistance. A series of meetings were held to determine the requirement for the systems, budgets, and general goals for the look and feel of the space. Multi-image capability was a common theme and a variety of scenarios were explored to provide for this capability. A key decision was made to utilize one very large fixed screen instead of multiple smaller motorized screens for multi image capabilities. Using digitally mapped projectors, the system can create one very large very bright image, or multiple images in a variety of screen sizes. The use of dual overlapping projectors also provides redundancy in case of failure. The final design included LED presenter lighting, digital audio controls,audio systems, HD video with multi image processors, streaming, capture, and video conference capabilities.
