London office LCD screen AV installation

Master AV Services brief for this large office installation was to fit 14 screens in total.

• One 42" Samsung plasma in the lobby to be used for company presentations.
  
• 42"LG plasma in board room on ceiling mount.
  
• Two 32" Sharp LC32X20E LCD TV s in gym area.
  
• One 42" LG plasma in relax area.
  
• The rest of the screens were mounted on trading floor. These 9 were, 42" Sharp LCDAquos on tilt wall brackets. These screens were mounted on supporting pillars.
  

All screens were fed with a digital Freeview aerial and RF feeds from two Sky boxes located in comms room. The screens in the lobby and board room were fed via cat6 from a PC in the comms room where we converted the VGA output from the PC to CAT6 and reversed the process at the screen end back to VGA. Aerial and sky RF were distributed from 16 way aerial amplifier and combiner this allowed separate control via sky eyes located on screens.

Pioneer PDP428XD-T25B plasma screen

This Pioneer plasma TV and Bose home cinema required all cables to be hidden into the walls including where the Sky cable entered the room. We had to drill through the pillar as can be seen in picture. All other speaker cables, HDMI, SCART and component cables were chased into the wall. Our client had already employed an electrician who was going to carry out the installation but the client realised that there may be problems when he chased in only one SCART cable. Not really sufficient these days!

Subsequently, all the cables were chased into the wall and the whole system was then set up and tested. We then removed the components ready for the decorators. We returned a few weeks later to refit, set up and test.

Toshiba LCD and home cinema installation

This Toshiba LCD and home cinema installation involved chasing all the cables into the wall on the chimney breast. All the equipment

• Sky HD
  
• AV receiver, Denon AV-3808
  
• PS3
  

were located in the next room. Speaker package was Antony Gallo, Gallo Nucleus Micro Speaker Pack.

All the equipment was controlled via a remote relay. This clever device receives IR signals and converts them to RF. They can then past through walls up to 30M. The IR receiver which sits close to the Audio Visual equipment converts the signal back to IR which then controls the AV receiver etc. Speakers were fitted up at ceiling level. This wasn't our recommendation but instructed by the client. The walls were then plastered to undercoat finish ready for decoration.
