The Jewish General Hospital, located in Montréal, contracted Applied Electronics in 2008 to design, supply and install an audio/visual system in their Nurse’s Lecture Hall which is used mainly in a teaching context for resident nurses and facilitates distance education. The 65-seat lecture hall was completely renovated with new chairs, blackout blinds, electrical circuits and wall/ceiling surfaces to accommodate the new audio/visual system.

Applied Electronics equipped the room with a Polycom HDX9002 video conferencing system with an Extron MPX423A media presentation matrix switcher which merges four independent matrix switchers into a single compact enclosure, and a Panasonic PTDW5100U ceiling-mounted HD LCD projector with a 65 x 108 inch DRAPER Targa motorized screen to display presentations and video conference feeds. Sound reinforcement was done with a LECTROSONIC DM1612 Automatic Mic/Matrix Mixer with Echo and Noise Cancellation, a Biamp Audia® digital audio platform, Tannoy V12 & CMS801 speakers, and ClockAudio C33-SR & C3SCP microphones. The custom-built lectern houses a SMART Sympodium interactive pen display and Crestron TPS-3100LB touchpanel and Crestron AV2 control system. This lecture hall is one of only two venues in the hospital that can accommodate groups larger than 50 students.

Extremely pleased with the user-friendly system, the clients are now considering adding video conferencing capabilities in other training rooms within the hospital.
