SIMCOM needed help on multiple fronts with their new training facility for jet pilots. They have conference rooms, a large auditorium and upwards of 50 classrooms, briefing rooms and debriefing rooms that all needed A/V systems.

Their auditorium has multiple cameras along with 10 mics for presentations and for teams meetings with other facilities. They also have a setup with multiple edge blended projectors to fill a large projector screen at the front of the auditorium. Behind that screen are 2 98” commercial displays. They needed a way to send multiple sources of audio and video to either the projector screen or to each individual display as well as control the levels of the audio of all sources including the mics.

Each classroom has either 2 or 3 commercial displays that they needed to pull in the output from multiple flavors of VSIMS (virtual simulators) as well as a dedicated room PC hosted from 2 large server rooms. They needed to walk into the room and hit a button to turn on the room and route whatever VSIM needed to the outside screens and the room PC to the center screen.

Their briefing rooms and debriefing rooms needed a similar setup. The debriefing rooms specifically need to route the data from any one actual simulator into the room so the instructors could go over the latest simulator experience with the pilot to critique the pilot’s performance with the pilot.

Their conference rooms had a very simple conference room setup with wireless screen sharing and camera/mic/speaker setup for remote meetings.

They also have a 5 screen video wall in the grand entrance they were trying to drive with another manufacturer’s product and were having no luck.
