The hybrid meeting space hosts agency executives, board members, and more than 650 members of the public remotely and in person for monthly meetings.<\/p>\n<p>The space featured a complex set of video production technology for meeting communication and public broadcasts. This complexity required AV staff to manually operate equipment and switch camera angles. Time devoted to each camera often resulted in poor overall production quality and a slower response to other IT needs in the room.<\/p>\n<p>Sound Transit sought a new AV system to boost staff support

quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to a long life cycle, the new system had to go live in under 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>AVI-SPL proposed a solution to elevate video and audio capture, improve boardroom interaction, and simplify broadcast processes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last thing they wanted was more complexity,\u201d said AVI-SPL Seattle Account Manager Tre Hertzberg. \u201cThey were looking for ways

AVI-SPL proposed a series of audio, video, and unified communications devices from Biamp, Crestron, Logitech, Planar, and Samsung to elevate the in-room attendee experience.<\/p>\n<p>A Biamp amplifier boosted presenter volume to ensure attendees could hear board conversations at the far end of the space.<\/p>\n<p>Personal Planar touchscreen monitors allowed dais members to view content at their stations.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung displays, supported by Legrand AV wall mounts, gave attendees better views of shared content.<\/p>\n<p>Crestron Flex made it possible for staff members to launch meetings with the touch of a button.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Sound Transit wanted to create a new focal point for the space. They settled on replacing the projector system with a video wall to add to the modern aesthetic and future-proof the overall experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA video wall was something we explored when we first did the walkthrough,\u201d Conery said. \u201cThere was a question about whether or not we would use the existing projector screen or go with a different solution. And we ended up going with a large video wall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AVI-SPL replaced the original projector screen with a 200+ inch Planar video wall.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"image-text-new page-block image-text-new--sm image-text-new--dark\" role=\"region\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"image-text-new__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-text-new__image__wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" src=\"https:\/\/avispl.com.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/01\/Ruth-Fisher-update-Sept-2024-3-scaled-1-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Three Public Comment screens on a desk; below, a large screen shows a train and people.

Leadership and their lead AV technician were on-site for the first refreshed board meeting. And the feedback has been positive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur AV technician is very happy with the new system,\u201d Conery said. \u201cHe has less work to do during a meeting to ensure it stays up and running. Our first meeting had a lot of visibility from leadership, and all of the feedback I received was very positive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sound Transit is continuing to invest in its meeting experience and partnership with AVI-SPL by signing up for a one-year Elite service contract.
