COUNCIL CHAMBERS AV
Our council chamber AV solutions support productivity, public engagement and the growing rate of hybrid meetings.
We’ll explore the role of AV in modern council chambers and what we can provide to assist important discussions.
Overview of Council Chambers’ AV Needs
Council chambers today demand high-quality AV systems to facilitate effective governance, decision-making, and public engagement.
As the need for hybrid meetings grows, seamless integration of AV technologies is key for smooth in-person and remote participation.
Role of AV in Modern Council Chambers
Advanced AV systems enhance communication, foster collaboration, and improve transparency in council meetings. From enabling remote participation to ensuring clear and accessible presentations, these systems support smooth, productive sessions and better public engagement.
Understanding Council Chamber Needs
Space Assessment & Layout Design
At NuVideo, we know that each council chamber is unique. We assess factors like acoustics, room size, and seating arrangements to design AV systems that fit the space’s specific needs. We offer flexible designs, ensuring that AV solutions can accommodate diverse meeting types, such as council meetings, committee discussions, and public hearings.
Accessibility Considerations
Accessibility is a key focus in modern council chambers. We integrate solutions like hearing loops, captioning, and real-time translation systems to ensure that all participants, including those with disabilities, can fully engage in the proceedings.
Audience Engagement & Hybrid Participation
AV systems must cater to both physical and virtual attendees. NuVideo ensures your AV setup supports video, voting, and chat functionalities, creating an inclusive environment where everyone, in the room or online, can participate equally.
Choosing the Right AV Equipment
Audio Solutions
Clear, intelligible audio is paramount in council chambers, especially for hybrid meetings. We recommend high-quality microphones, such as boundary microphones and wireless handhelds, to ensure crisp sound. We also prioritise hearing accessibility with induction loops, captioning services, and real-time translation systems for inclusive communication.
Visual Equipment
NuVideo offers a range of display options, from large LED screens to interactive displays and video walls, to ensure optimal visibility and engagement. PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras are integral for streaming and remote communication, making it easy for remote participants to follow discussions and contribute.
Integration with Collaboration Tools
AV systems must work seamlessly with conferencing platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom or dedicated council software. We ensure integration with digital agendas, voting systems, and audience feedback tools, facilitating smooth, collaborative decision-making.
AV Management and Integration
Centralised Control Systems
NuVideo provides user-friendly, centralised control systems that allow chamber operators to manage all AV elements audio, video, and lighting from a single interface. Our systems are designed to be compatible with your existing infrastructure, with scalability to accommodate future upgrades.
Streamlining Workflow with AV Software
We integrate automation into AV management, from meeting scheduling and microphone adjustments to video routing. Our solutions sync with remote participation tools to ensure smooth transitions between in-person and virtual attendees.
Remote Monitoring & Troubleshooting
We offer proactive monitoring and quick troubleshooting services to ensure minimal downtime. Remote monitoring ensures that issues are detected and addressed before they disrupt the meeting.
