Case Study - Region of Durham
Core Requirement
The Region of Durham in Whitby, Ontario was seeking to modernize an aging council chamber. High Definition Video needed to be displayed in the room and to video streams. During COVID the need for Remote participation was identified.
- Equal Representation and inclusion for remote participants
- The ability to cast votes both in the room and remotely
- Managed Request to Speak for in-room and remote participants
- Automated camera control and switching
- Streaming and Recording
- Agenda Management
The Challenges
The existing Shure DIS Conference System was in good working order, yet the client wished to modernize the workflow during the meeting.
Equipment availability due to supply chain issues during COVID would impact the ability to procure equipment.
A busy meeting schedule presented a short window of opportunity to create a specification, tender, procure, install and commission the project.
The Solution
MVI AudioVisual Software is agnostic to the AV equipment, It automates much of the meeting process by managing cameras and video from the perspective of workflow. With tighter meeting control, meetings run more efficiently and smoothly, reducing the hours spent in chamber by councilors and staff.
It allowed the Region of Durham to reuse their existing conference solution and still have fully automatic meeting and video production suite with full HYBRID remote participation.
The AV distribution solution, audio DSP solutions were able to use best in breed alternatives, thus allowing the project to be tendered and installed within the time allotted to the project.
Today the Region has run hundreds of hours of meetings on their solution, and is our premier reference site for the MVI Audio Visual Software.
