AV Consultant • The Sextant Group

Sixty floors above pittsburgh, sensors detect visitors’ arrival at the Center for Connected Medicine and greet them with an interactive Flash program projected onto glass-etched automatic doors. AV sets the tone before people set foot into the 15,500-square-foot center, designed as a showcase for the power of technlogy in health care.

A 42-inch plasma in portrait mode with touchscreen overlay acts as the main controller, managing everything from a 36- by 128-inch Perceptive Pixel display to eight movable, floor-to-ceiling “digital wallpaper” backdrops with rear projection. Local AV systems ride their own network, while external videoconference participants and live hospital applications and can be routed via IP to the various displays.
