The Vision
The objectives were clear: Build a conferencing space that not only wows attendees with its immersive experience but also promises simplicity and efficiency in every interaction. We aimed to craft a room where every presentation, video call, or brainstorming session becomes an engaging and smooth experience - no matter one’s technical expertise.
Drawing from decades of experience in IT and communication solutions, VLCM's Communications Technologies Team meticulously mapped out the integration of each component. From initial conceptualization to final implementation, VLCM's expertise ensured that Little Wild Horse would further business collaboration and serve as a demo room for potential clients. In the subsequent sections and accompanying Line Card, we'll delve deeper into the integral components that make up Little Wild Horse.
Visuals
A conference room's effectiveness is often dictated by its visual components. In Little Wild Horse, each piece of visual equipment was chosen not just for its quality, but also for the specific functionality it brings to the table. Here's an in-depth look:
The Epson Projector
The Epson projector ensures high-resolution projections for every presentation. Details are sharp, and colors are accurate, optimizing viewer engagement.
Chief Projector Mount
Durability meets precision with the Chief Projector Mount. Its design guarantees that the projector remains stable, and the mount's adjustability ensures the optimal angle for viewing, making certain that every seat is the best seat in the house.
Da-Lite Motorized Screen
The Da-Lite Motorized Screen offers convenience with automated retracing and extending and sleek design. It adjusts quickly to fit different presentation formats and ensures a clear, stable projection surface.
Wireless Presentation Devices
AirMedia and Mersive Solstice streamline the connection process. Presenters can easily share their screens without the fumbling of cables or seeking for adapters at the last minute, fostering a smoother presentation flow.
Microphones
Sound quality is paramount for effective communication. In Little Wild Horse, audio components were chosen to provide consistent and clear sound for all attendees.
Shure Ceiling Mics
These mics are strategically placed to capture sound from every angle. Whether a comment comes from the head of the table or the back of the room, each voice is picked up with precision.
Crestron Overhead Speakers
Distributed sound ensures that audio reaches every attendee with clarity. The Crestron Overhead Speakers deliver audio that's balanced, ensuring no seat is left out of the conversation.
Crestron Amplifier
The backbone of the room's audio system, the Crestron Amplifier, provides the necessary power. It ensures that sound levels are optimal, guaranteeing clarity in every interaction.
Room Control
In Little Wild Horse, the emphasis is on intuitive design and automation to ensure an effortless user experience. The moment you step into the room, sensors detect your presence and the lights automatically illuminate. Initiate a presentation and watch as the room transforms: shades lower, lights adjust to a softer hue, and the screen extends. And with user-friendly scheduling systems integrated directly into the space, booking the room and managing its features become second nature. Every detail in room automation and control is designed to make interactions seamless, removing any technical barriers for the user
Crestron Touch Panel
This intuitive interface offers users direct control over various room features. Its user-friendly design ensures that anyone, regardless of technical expertise, can manage the room's settings with ease, such as adjusting the lighting or closing the shades. The touch panel can be carried anywhere in the room.
Room Scheduling with Crestron
The scheduling system simplifies the booking process. It streamlines reservations, ensuring the room's availability is transparent and conflicts are minimized. This is integrated into our Microsoft 365 environment. It is also connected to a “phone booth” sign that lights up outside of the room, so you can easily see if the room is available at a glance.
Crestron's Lighting and Shades
With the ability to adjust both lighting and shades, users can tailor the ambiance to suit their meeting's needs. Whether it's a bright setup for presentations or a dimmed environment for video calls, customization is a touch away.
Room Occupancy Sensing
This feature is not only about convenience but also efficiency. The sensors detect room occupancy, adjusting lighting and temperature accordingly. This ensures energy is used judiciously and rooms are always ready for use.

From housing state-of-the-art A/V equipment in a structured manner to seamlessly integrating telephony for mixed communication modes, every tool has been chosen to enhance both in-room and remote collaboration.

The Robust Middle Atlantic A/V Rack
A well-organized system is crucial for optimal performance. The Middle Atlantic A/V Rack offers a structured solution, housing and protecting vital A/V components. Its design ensures that equipment is easily accessible and maintained.
