About this file

This document is an Attachment B Audio Visual Standards document for the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection related to the FY27 ENV EEAIT-715-DEP SERO AV Installation Category 2 project. The standards establish technical requirements and specifications for audio-visual equipment and installation to be utilized in the project. The document outlines detailed performance criteria, compatibility standards, and quality benchmarks that bidders must meet when providing audio-visual solutions for this state contract opportunity.

The audio-visual standards serve as binding technical specifications that govern equipment selection, system integration, and installation methodologies for the contract award. These standards ensure that all submitted proposals meet minimum performance thresholds and maintain consistency with the state's technical infrastructure requirements. Bidders must design their proposals and cost estimates in accordance with these specifications, and the standards will be incorporated into the final contract terms between the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the selected vendor.

Audio Visual Standards

June 17, 2022 DRAFT

How the specified AV technology was determined?

Perkins Eastman was engaged to develop standardconference room designs that would become the basis for future fit outs.

Perkins Eastman engaged AVH to assist with identifying the appropriate technology for these rooms.

The first decision needed was to determine whether to move forward with a BYOD or dedicated device approach. Factors suchas, the high number of individual business units within the State organization, each with its unique standards andsecurity concerns, the high service and maintenance costs of adding devices to the network environment, the variety of collaboration platforms currently in use, the familiarity end users have with launching and managing calls themselves and the significant cost savings allowing these systems to be deployed in numerous rooms led to the decision to go with the BYOD (Bring your own device) direction for the State.

The vendor selection process started with an overview of all of the major manufacturers' latest generation products. The field was narrowed down to two manufacturers Poly and Crestron. Each offered solutions that accommodated the variety of room types at competitive costs. Considering the simple standardroom designs and the fact that multiple departments at the State have either already deployed or were in the process of deploying Poly solutions, Poly was selected as the manufacturer for the initial pilot spaces. It is important to note that because the user laptop is the device used for presentation any platform (Teams, Zoom, Webex etc. ) can be used.

Poly Proprietary Features:

Poly Audio: Poly BYOD devices incorporate a number of proprietary features thatprovide high quality audio experience for both local and remote participants. These include NoiseBlock and Acoustic Fence which work together to block unwanted backgroundnoise from being sent to the far end of the call.

Poly Video: Poly BYOD devices utilize a feature called Speaker Tracking. Speaker Tracking uses logic inside the camera to identify people in the room and it automatically frames the person who is speaking and providinga high quality image of the speaker to the far end participants. When multiple people are speaking in the local room, the camera will automatically increase the frame to include both people. When no one is speaking in the local room the camera will adjust the frame to include all people at the table. This auto tracking feature automates the camera steering process, improving the video experience of the far end without the local participants having to make any adjustments manually.

Typical AV components: Functional Operation

The standard systems are designed to require minimal interaction from end users to operate. They are also designed to minimize service calls.

System Operation All systems include a camera, microphones and speakers that are incorporated in to a single device that is located at the monitor. At the table box, users will find a HDMI cable and a standardUSB cable.

Local Presentation When using the room for local presentation only, the user only has to connect the HDMI cable to their laptop. The monitor detects this connectionand automatically turns on and displays the laptop image. When the HDMI cable is disconnected, the monitor returns to a stand-by state, turning off the display and ready for the next connection.

Web collaboration (works with Teams, Zoom and Webex) When usingthe room for web based collaboration, the user in addition to the HDMI cable also connects the USB cable and Ethernet cable (if Wi-fi is not used) to their laptop. The laptop detects the camera, microphones and speakers inside the speaker bar device and connects to them, bypassing the camera, microphone and speakers inside theuser’s laptop. The camera, microphones and speakers inside the device are built to accommodate all participants in the room. Different units facilitate a variety of rooms sizes.

The speakers in the monitor are disabled and other settings such as brightness, contrast, etc. are configured during commissioning and require no further adjustments. The monitor and speaker bar remote controls are not needed by the end users and will not be left in the rooms.
