Can’t find what you’re looking for? ### What types of AV integration services does Smart Systems offer? We provide comprehensive audio-visual integration for both commercial and residential clients. Our services include conference room AV design, video wall installations, whole-home audio, smart home automation, home theater design, digital signage, control system programming (Crestron, Control4, Lutron), and network infrastructure for AV systems. ### What areas does Smart Systems serve? We are headquartered in Hixson, just outside Chattanooga, Tennessee. Our routine service area covers the greater Chattanooga metro — Chattanooga, Hixson, Ooltewah, Signal Mountain and Cleveland in Tennessee and Ringgold, Fort Oglethorpe and Dalton in North Georgia. We are licensed contractors in both Tennessee and Georgia (TN General Contractor #70582, GA Low Voltage #LVU406690, Chattanooga Low Voltage #LELV-00422, Hamilton County Electrical #C-559) and work throughout both states. We also take on select projects regionally and nationwide when the scope is the right fit — if you are outside our local area, it is still worth asking. ### How much does AV integration cost? Every project is unique, so costs vary depending on the scope, equipment, and complexity. We offer free consultations to understand your needs and provide a detailed, transparent quote. Whether you're outfitting a single conference room or an entire facility, we'll work with your budget to find the right solution. ### Do you offer smart home automation? Absolutely. We specialize in smart home systems that integrate lighting, shading, climate, audio, video, and security into one seamless experience. We work with leading platforms like Control4, Crestron, and Lutron to create custom solutions tailored to your lifestyle. ### How long does a typical AV installation take? Timeline depends on the project scope. A single conference room might take 1-2 weeks, while a full residential smart home build-out could take 4-8 weeks. We coordinate closely with builders, architects, and clients to minimize disruption and keep projects on schedule. ### Do you provide ongoing support after installation? Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance and support plans to ensure your systems continue to perform at their best. Our team is available for troubleshooting, system updates, and expansions as your needs grow. ### How quickly does Smart Systems respond to a quote request?

Engineering connected spaces since 2002. Who We Are ## We don’t sell equipment. We engineer environments. Smart Systems has been designing and installing audio visual systems across Tennessee and Georgia since 2002. We are veteran-owned and operated, based in Hixson just outside Chattanooga, and we have spent 24 years building a reputation on work that keeps running long after the install crew goes home. Our approach starts with understanding how a space actually gets used, then engineering to that. An executive boardroom that has to hold a flawless video conference at 8am has different demands than a sanctuary running live streams with volunteer operators, or a home cinema built for genuine immersion. We design each to be as intuitive to use as it is impressive to experience. That work spans six markets and 127 published installations — from stadium video boards and municipal council chambers to whole-home audio and tiered private theaters. Smart Systems is the trading name of Smart Homes Chattanooga, Inc., founded in Hixson, Tennessee in 2002. The company began as SmartHomes Chattanooga, acquired competitor Matrix Installations in 2013, and rebranded as Smart Systems in 2014.

FAQ ## Signage Questions Common questions about digital signage and video walls. ### What's the difference between LED and LCD video walls? LCD walls use multiple screens tiled together (visible seams). Direct-view LED is a single seamless canvas with no bezels, higher brightness, and custom sizing. LED is premium but delivers an incomparably cleaner visual. ### Can we update content ourselves? Yes. Every system includes a cloud CMS where your team can create, schedule, and publish content from any browser — no technical skills required. ### How bright do displays need to be? It depends on ambient light. Interior lobbies typically need 500–700 nits. Storefront and window-facing displays need 2,500–5,000+ nits. We measure your environment and recommend accordingly. ### What does a digital signage system cost? A single commercial display with a media player starts around $2K–$5K. Multi-display systems and LED video walls typically range from $15K–$150K+ depending on size and pixel pitch. ### Do you handle content creation? We provide templates and training.

Panels with occupancy sensors detect no-shows and automatically release the room after a configurable timeout (e.g., 10–15 minutes), making it available for others. ### Do panels need a power outlet? No. Most scheduling panels are PoE (Power over Ethernet) — they get both data and power from a single network cable. No electrical outlet needed at the door. ### What does a scheduling system cost? Basic panels with calendar integration start around $800–$1,500 per room (hardware + installation). Enterprise deployments with analytics, sensors, and mobile booking typically run $1,500–$3,000+ per room. ### Can we customize the panel display? Yes.

FAQ ## Home Theater Questions Everything you need to know about building a dedicated home theater with Smart Systems. ### What size room do I need for a home theater? A dedicated home theater can work in rooms as small as 10' × 12', though 14' × 20' or larger is ideal for a full Atmos experience with stadium seating. We design for your specific space — not the other way around. ### Projector or TV — which is better? For a true cinema feel, projection wins — 120" to 180" screens are simply more immersive. For bright rooms or casual media spaces, a 77"–98" OLED offers stunning picture quality with zero ambient-light concerns. We'll recommend the best option for your room. ### How long does installation take? An Essential-tier media room can be completed in 1–2 weeks. Premium and Reference theaters with full acoustic treatment, risers, and custom millwork typically take 4–8 weeks from start to handoff. ### Can you retrofit an existing room? Absolutely.

FAQ ## Audio Questions Everything you need to know about whole-home audio from Smart Systems. ### What's the difference between distributed audio and a soundbar? A soundbar covers one room. Distributed audio puts music in every room of your home with dedicated, properly powered speakers — independently controlled per zone. The sound quality and coverage are incomparable. ### Can I use my existing streaming services? Yes. We integrate Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, and virtually any streaming platform. We also support turntables, CD libraries, and local NAS servers. ### Will I see speakers everywhere? Not unless you want to. Our in-ceiling and in-wall speakers sit flush with the surface and can be painted to match. Many clients don't even notice them. ### How many zones do I need? A typical home has 4–8 zones: kitchen, living room, master bedroom, patio, office, gym, etc. We'll help you decide what makes sense for your space. ### What does a whole-home audio system cost? A 4-zone streaming system starts around $5K–$10K. Full-home systems with 8+ zones, outdoor audio, and hi-fi listening rooms typically range from $15K–$50K+. ### How quickly does Smart Systems respond to a quote request?

Consumer routers are designed for small spaces with few devices. A modern smart home can have 50–100+ connected devices. Enterprise-grade access points handle this load with proper roaming, band steering, and VLAN support. ### Do I need structured wiring if I have Wi-Fi? Yes. Wired connections to access points, TVs, gaming consoles, and AV equipment deliver faster, more reliable performance. Structured wiring is the backbone of any great wireless network. ### What is VLAN segmentation? It creates separate virtual networks for different device types — like smart home IoT on one network and your personal devices on another. This improves security and prevents a compromised smart device from accessing your data. ### Can you upgrade my existing network? Absolutely. We regularly upgrade homes from basic consumer setups to enterprise-grade infrastructure, often without opening walls by leveraging existing cable runs. ### What does a home network system cost? A basic enterprise Wi-Fi upgrade starts around $3K–$5K. Full structured wiring with rack build, managed switching, and whole-home coverage typically ranges from $8K–$25K+. ### How quickly does Smart Systems respond to a quote request?

FAQ ## Stadium and venue questions What venue operators, schools and nonprofits ask before a project in Chattanooga. ### What does Smart Systems install in stadiums and sports venues? Field and bleacher sound systems, press box audio with push-to-talk and wireless microphones, concession stand and changing room speakers, outdoor video boards with live camera capture and replay, and the AV in club levels, lounges and skyboxes. Each venue project on this page has its own portfolio page listing the equipment installed. ### Are outdoor speakers and video boards weatherproof? Yes. Outdoor speakers are chosen with weather ratings for the exposure — the Miracle League field, for example, uses IP55-rated FBT Shadow speakers facing the stands and water-stop-grille models facing the field — and the Rotary Field video board is a weatherproof outdoor video wall mounted above the existing field signage. ### Can a video board show live camera feeds and replays? Yes. The Rotary Field video board pairs the outdoor video wall with a PTZ camera system for live action capture and replay, with fiber optic signal transmission from the camera to the display and controls that switch between live camera feeds and external video sources. ### What does stadium AV cost? Every venue is quoted individually after a site visit. For video boards, the LED video wall band published on the digital signage page is the reference: a single commercial display with a media player starts around $2K–$5K; multi-display systems and LED video walls typically range from $15K–$150K+ depending on size and pixel pitch. ### How quickly does Smart Systems respond to a quote request?

FAQ ## Sony questions What clients ask before a Sony project in Chattanooga. ### Is Smart Systems an authorized Sony dealer? Yes. Smart Systems is an authorized Sony dealer and installs Sony televisions, projectors, receivers and players in homes and commercial spaces. ### Projector or TV — which is better for a theater? The home theater page covers the trade-off: projection for screens of 120 inches and up in a light-controlled room, a large television where ambient light or room size argues against a projector. Both are quoted individually. ### Do I have to buy this brand to work with Smart Systems? No. Smart Systems selects equipment per project from the brands on its roster, and every system is quoted individually after a consultation. Ask for a specific brand and the design will use it where it fits the requirements and budget. ### How quickly does Smart Systems respond to a quote request?

Instead of a fixed HDMI matrix switch, each source gets a transmitter and each display a receiver, and the network switch does the routing. Adding a display later means adding a receiver, not replacing the matrix. ### Do I have to buy this brand to work with Smart Systems? No. Smart Systems selects equipment per project from the brands on its roster, and every system is quoted individually after a consultation. Ask for a specific brand and the design will use it where it fits the requirements and budget. ### How quickly does Smart Systems respond to a quote request?

Ubiquiti ## What Smart Systems does with Ubiquiti Smart Systems designs and installs Ubiquiti UniFi networks for homes and businesses in Chattanooga, TN, East Tennessee and North Georgia: enterprise access points for whole-property and outdoor Wi-Fi coverage with proper roaming and band steering, managed switching with VLAN segmentation so smart home devices, AV equipment and personal devices stay on separate secure networks, and cloud-managed monitoring, firmware updates and remote troubleshooting. A modern smart home can carry 50 to 100 or more connected devices; UniFi is the platform the team most often installs to handle that load. Networks are built on structured wiring — Cat6A throughout, custom rack builds and clean cable management — and many existing homes are upgraded from consumer routers without opening walls by reusing existing cable runs. Budget context Typical budgets: a basic enterprise Wi-Fi upgrade starts around $3K–$5K; full structured wiring with a rack build, managed switching and whole-home coverage typically ranges from $8K–$25K+.

The stadium asked us to reorganize its displays around a laptop docking station so that any staff member could bring a machine, dock it, and have the room's screens follow. The existing wall-mounted television was reused and connected to the dock over a long HDMI run from the column at the second landing, with low-profile power conditioning behind it. The ceiling television that had hung from the soffit was taken down and re-hung from the ceiling tile in front of the window, and two 55-inch televisions that came out of the Ultra Club were installed beside it on new ceiling hardware, each on its own HDMI run from the dock. A single low-profile power conditioner behind the center screen powers all three. The two 55-inch screens were freed up by the second half of the project: in the Ultra Club, they were replaced by a pair of 75-inch Sony 4K displays on the side wall, reusing the existing mounts, video connections, and power conditioning. An antenna distribution system was added to the club's equipment rack so the two single-channel wireless microphone systems share the existing high-powered antenna, with adapters to allow more microphones later. It is a small project by stadium standards, and a good example of the kind of work a venue relationship produces: reuse what still works, move it where it is needed, and make the room simpler to run. Disciplines: Audio, Video, Video walls Equipment: Sony K75S30 (2) ### [Luxury Whole-Home Entertainment](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/luxury-whole-home-entertainment) Chattanooga, TN · Residential project · completed November 2024 Forty-six rooms of audio, video, automation, security and networking in a new estate home This new-construction estate home was designed from the framing stage to have technology in every room, and the finished system covers more than forty spaces: a theater, a pool and poolhouse, kitchens, porches, bedrooms and bathrooms, a hidden game room, a fitness room, garages, and the front gate. It is one of the largest residential systems we have built, and one of the most invisible. The theater runs a Sony 4K laser projector on a 120-inch screen with in-wall front speakers, in-wall surrounds, a 12-inch subwoofer, and a Sony ES receiver, controlled by Control4. The family room has a 77-inch Sony OLED with a Sonos 5.1 system, in-ceiling rear speakers, and a Sonos Sub; the formal living room pairs its television with in-wall speakers flanking the fireplace. Televisions and Sonos audio continue through the master suite, both children's suites, the bonus room, the game rooms, and the office, twenty screens in all, each with a remote-controlled power conditioner behind it so any one of them can be rebooted from the app. Outside, the poolhouse, the family porch, and the formal living porch each carry a television on the stone or brick wall with four all-weather ceiling speakers and a Sonos Amp; the pool itself has six landscape speakers and a buried 12-inch subwoofer. Some 370 feet of fiber runs to the front gate, where an outdoor switch brings the network to the entry equipment, and the detached garage door is on the Control4 system as well. The backbone is a Ubiquiti network with multiple 48- and 24-port PoE switches, a Control4 controller with six 10-inch in-wall touchscreens, Yale keypad locks, thermostats and shades integrated into the same app, and a surveillance system of more than twenty cameras on two recorders, viewable from any touchscreen or television. A DSC security system rounds it out. The home's structured cabling was run by EPB as part of the build, and our design specified how every run would be labeled and terminated so the two crews could hand off cleanly.

This residential project centered around upgrading the living room with Samsung's stunning 75" Frame TV, creating an elegant focal point that doubles as artwork when not in use. Our team carefully integrated a Sonos Playbar for premium audio and configured streaming services for seamless entertainment access. The project also included a strategic TV shuffle, relocating the previous living room display to the game room and moving that TV to the patio, maximizing value across multiple spaces. Every installation was executed with precision mounting and clean cable management, ensuring each room maintains its aesthetic appeal while gaining enhanced functionality. Disciplines: Audio, Video Equipment: Samsung QN75LS03DAFXZA (2); Sony XR55X90L ### [Tiered Private Theater](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/tiered-private-theater) Chattanooga, TN · Residential project · completed October 2025 A ten-seat laser-projection theater at the center of a whole-home system replacement This project began as a system replacement: the homeowners wanted the aging electronics throughout the house brought current, and a proper theater at the heart of it. The theater is a dedicated room with two tiers of RowOne recliners, four seats to a row plus two more on the back row, for ten in all, with wall sconces, step lighting, and a dark palette that keeps light off the screen. The picture comes from a Sony 4K laser projector on a 120-inch acoustically transparent screen, which lets the front speakers sit behind the image where they belong. Audio is a KEF 5.1 system, floor-standing towers and a center up front, in-ceiling rears, and a KEF KC92 subwoofer, driven by a Sony ES receiver. An Apple TV and 4K Blu-ray player live in the rack, a Sonos Port brings streaming music into the room, and a Control4 remote runs everything, including two adaptive-phase dimmers for the room lights and a separate switch for the step lights. Behind the walls, the house got a new backbone: a Control4 CORE5 controller with an I/O extender, an IP power conditioner for remote reboots, a Ubiquiti gateway and 48-port PoE switch, five ceiling-mounted Wi-Fi 7 access points, and an outdoor access point for the yard. A DSC security system with keypads, contacts, glass-break and motion detectors, and a smoke listener was integrated into Control4 so it shows up in the same app as everything else. The rest of the house was fitted out as well: a 65-inch Samsung Frame TV in the living room with an in-wall box for the One Connect unit, a 65-inch Samsung in the game room, a 65-inch SunBrite outdoor TV on the patio, and Sonos 5.1 systems in the living room and game room built around the Arc Ultra, a Sonos Sub, and a pair of Era 100s each.

This comprehensive project seamlessly relocated existing AV equipment while introducing cutting-edge Ketra lighting throughout the main living areas and premium Lutron tunable white tape lighting for under-cabinet accent illumination. The heart of this transformation lies in the intelligent lighting system that now bathes their home in perfectly tuned light throughout the day. Ketra bulbs and fixtures replace outdated components, offering dynamic color temperature control that mirrors natural sunlight patterns. Meanwhile, invisible speakers maintain the clean aesthetic while delivering exceptional audio quality. Every detail was coordinated flawlessly—from relocating the kitchen TV and touchscreen to avoid new cabinetry, to upgrading the entire Lutron lighting infrastructure with modern components that support today's LED technology. The result is a kitchen that's not just beautiful, but brilliantly responsive to how this family actually lives. Disciplines: Audio, Automation, Lighting, Networking, Video Equipment: Lutron HQP7-2 (2); Stealth Acoustics LRX83-EA (2); Lutron HQP7-RF-2 ### [U.S. Xpress Boardroom](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/us-xpress-boardroom) Chattanooga, TN · Commercial project · completed April 2019 Video Wall and Audio Processing The main objective for this boardroom project was to replace a plasma TV with a custom video wall. The customer wanted to increase the viewing size, as well as image quality. By installing a video wall, we created a screen that has 4K resolution, with a 110" viewable image size. We achieved this through the use of 4 55" ultra-thin bezel monitors and programmed them for content to be stretched across all four screens. We then added a 4K-cable HDMI switcher to the equipment cabinet to provide audio and video switching from the new table HDMI input, the new WePresent, or the customer's existing teleconferencing system. This switcher was connected to the amplifier and speakers already in the room to amplify audio and control volume for the room. In order to make the room easy and straightforward to use, we installed a Crestron control system and added a table box to the conference table to provide a local HDMI connection to the video system. The HDMI cable is paired with a spring-loaded retractor to allow the cable to recess into the table box when not in use, keeping things neater. Finally, we added a battery backup to the cabinet to provide protection against short power outages or flickers. Disciplines: Audio, Video, Signage, Video walls Equipment: Crestron 4K DigitalMedia 8G+ Receiver and Room Controller 100; Wall Plate 4K DigitalMedia 8G+ Transmitter 100; Crestron 3-Series 4K DigitalMedia Presentation System 150; Crestron 10.1" Surface Mount Touchscreen; FSR 6" Table Box; Lab Gruppen Lucia 60 Watt x 2 2-16 UHM Amplifier; 55" Ultra Narrow Bezel S-IPS 2X2 Video Wall Solution Bundle; WePresent Wireless Collaboration System ### [Finley Stadium Audio Upgrade](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/finley-stadium-audio-upgrade) Chattanooga, TN · Commercial project · completed April 2026 Stadium-wide speaker system, concourse and restroom audio, press box console and wireless microphones A stadium sound system has one job that is harder than it sounds: every seat should hear the announcer clearly at the same level, whether it is in the front row or the far corner of the visitor side. Finley Stadium asked us to replace an aging system with one that could do that, and to bring the concourses, restrooms, and press box along with it. The main arrays are mounted inside the video-board enclosure. Each side of the stadium is covered by a pair of Community LVH-900 beamforming horns for the far seating and an R2 loudspeaker for the near seats, supplemented by six subwoofers for the low end that a modern stadium expects. The design holds coverage across the seating within 3 dB through the voice band, which is what keeps speech intelligible from end to end. The rigging was engineered and PE-stamped, and a Community factory representative handled the final calibration on site. Seven wall speakers on the visitor concourse and fourteen restroom speakers were replaced on existing wiring, powered by a mix of new amplification and two of the stadium's newer amplifiers put back to work. The head end runs on Biamp Tesira processing with Dante networking over Netgear AV switches, so audio moves between the rack, the amplifiers, and the booth as data. In the press box, a Yamaha DM3-D Dante mixing console replaced the old board and can be run from an iPad with the StageMix app. A Shure four-channel wireless system with two handhelds and two headsets, a high-powered antenna, and a new push-to-talk announcer microphone round out the booth. The stadium agreed to let us and Community Loudspeakers feature the installation as a case study, which is why the professional photos here also cover the Skybox and Ultra Club areas. Disciplines: Audio Equipment: Shure ULXD4Q=-G57; Biamp Tesira SERVER-IO; Yamaha TMP-DM3-D; Netgear GSM4230P-100NAS; Biamp Tesira DAN-1; Biamp Tesira DSP-2 (2) ### [Finley Stadium Skyline Lounge](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/finley-stadium-skyline-lounge) Chattanooga, TN · Commercial project · completed April 2026 Indoor-outdoor hospitality lounge at the stadium's skyline level The Skyline Lounge sits high on the home side of Finley Stadium, a hospitality space that opens straight onto the field with a wood-fronted bar, a turfed lounge area, and doors that fold back to the concourse on game days. Our job was to make the room work as a venue: commercial displays placed so the game and the broadcast are visible from the bar, the seating, and the turf, with distributed audio to match. The lounge is part of a longer relationship with the stadium that also covers the Ultra Club, the press box command center, and the stadium-wide audio upgrade, so the equipment here is designed to be run the same way as the rest of the building and serviced by the same team. Like every hospitality space we build, the technology stays out of the way: the displays sit high and level on the structure, cabling is hidden in the ceiling, and the staff can put the right feed on the right screen without a technician. Disciplines: Audio, Signage, Video walls, Video ### [Rotary Field Video Board](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/rotary-field-video-board) Chattanooga, TN · Commercial project · completed March 2026 Premium outdoor video wall transforms community baseball experience We delivered a complete video display solution for this beloved community baseball field in Chattanooga, featuring a custom outdoor video wall mounted above the existing field signage. The installation includes a professional PTZ camera system for live action capture and replay, giving spectators an enhanced view of every play. Our fiber optic infrastructure ensures crystal-clear signal transmission from the camera to the display, while intuitive controls allow operators to seamlessly switch between live camera feeds and external video sources. The weatherproof design provides reliable performance for years of community enjoyment. As part of our commitment to supporting local organizations, we included a charitable contribution to the Miracle League with this project. Disciplines: Video walls Equipment: PTZ Optics 30X Move SE; PTZ Optics PT-SUPERJOY-G1; Extron SW4 HD 4K PLUS; Crestron HD-MD4X1-4KZ-E; Netgear GSM4212P-100NAS; Magewell Pro Convert NDI to HDMI; Rolls RM85; Panamax VT-EXT; Furman M-8X2 ### [Finley Stadium Ultra Club](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/finley-stadium-ultra-club) Chattanooga, TN · Commercial project · completed April 2024 Club-level lounge with a video wall, zoned audio, wireless microphones and one touch panel The Ultra Club is Finley Stadium's club-level lounge: tables and seating, a bar with a living greenery ceiling, a team merchandise shop, and a wall of windows onto the field. The stadium wanted the room to work for a game-day crowd, a corporate event, and a quiet weekday, all from one control panel behind the bar. The focal point is a 2x2 video wall of Samsung 700-nit displays with 1.74 mm bezels on a Planar mounting system, fed by a Just Add Power video-over-IP system that lets the staff put any of the sources, cable boxes, streaming devices, the field feed through a digital tuner, or a BrightSign signage player, on any screen, or stretch one source across the whole wall. Three 55-inch Sony televisions cover the seating opposite the bar and the wall behind it, each with its own AV-over-IP receiver, and two HDMI wall plates let a presenter plug in near the wall or beneath the televisions. Audio is twelve JBL pendant speakers anchored into the hard ceiling, split into three zones with independent volume, driven by a Crestron amplifier and balanced by a Biamp TesiraForte DSP. A Bluetooth pairing point near the video wall lets guests play from their phones, and an Audix dual wireless system with a handheld and a lavalier, a high-powered RF Venue antenna, and two hardwired XLR inputs on the wall handle presentations. A Crestron CP4 processor and a 7-inch touch panel by the bar run everything: video wall layouts, television sources, zone volumes, and microphones. The equipment lives in a rack in the storage closet with a Netgear AV switch and rack-mounted power conditioning.

Our client needed a strong network that would give stable coverage throughout the house. To achieve this, we installed a Ubiquiti Unifi 24 port managed switch and a Unifi security gateway. We then placed 5 long-range access points and an outdoor wireless access point to ensure continuous and reliable coverage throughout the home and outdoor living area. The client also wanted upgraded sound for their TVs, so we installed Sonos Playbars in the master bedroom, the living room, and the lower den and game room. In the master, the soundbar was used as part of the 5.1 surround sound system. The customer already owned some speakers, so they supplied the necessary speakers to achieve surround sound. Finally, we installed an equipment rack to allow for a neater, easily serviceable place that could house all of the networking devices, as well as other equipment that wasn't part of this upgrade, in one central location. Disciplines: Audio, Networking Equipment: Wattbox IP+ 12-Controlled Outlet Rack Mount Power with Battery Backup; Sonos Playbar (3); Ubiquiti 802.11ac Dual-Radio Long-Range Access Point (5); Ubiquiti High Performance Outdoor Wireless Access Point; Ubiquiti Unifi 24 Port Managed Switch with POE+; Ubiquiti Unifi Security Gateway ### [Side Track Restaurant](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/sidetrack-restaurant) Hixson, TN · Commercial project · completed October 2019 Full AV and displays for a Chattanooga eatery Lawton Haygood made his mark on the Chattanooga area's restaurant scene as the creator of Sugar's Ribs, the Boathouse Rotisserie & Raw Bar and Canyon Grill. SideTrack opened in June at 3514 Hixson Pike near Lupton Drive. The location — next to a railroad track, which explains the SideTrack name. SideTrack seats about 140 people, offers plenty of parking, and serves wine, liquor, bottled beer and food cooked by wood fire — a signature of Haygood's restaurants. As with all restaurants, audio quality is of concern as it is a delicate balance between having quality sounding music and still being able to have a comfortable conversation. Smart Systems carefully analyzed the plans and proposed table layouts to design an audio system that is easy for the staff to use, reliable and that sounds great.

Others, however, have descriptors that immediately come to mind because the homeowner's vision for the space is very clear and specific. In the case of this home, the words clean, bright, and modern come to mind. But they don't just describe the finished product. These words were also guideposts for the way we did the work that we did, for the products we chose, and for the overall aesthetic that we adhered to. This was a large project with a lot of equipment. We did audio, video, networking, security, and surveillance. The story behind the space is actually really cool. The building that houses this condo was a former school, and the condo itself used to originally occupy the auditorium. The first thing you notice is just how much light fills the home, and how clean the space is. As I mentioned, this played into how we designed and implemented a system. The homeowner didn't want things like visible equipment, so we had to work within that restriction. The solution was that, for the most obvious equipment, namely the projector and projection screen, the builder framed it so that the projector could sit inside the ceiling and project through a hole cut into the wall. The screen housing is also in the ceiling, and the motorized screen can roll up and be completely out of sight when not in use. Now, when a projection system is the main source for viewing television and movies in a living room, light is inherently challenging. Light is the natural enemy of a setup like this. So we installed Hunter Douglas battery-powered wireless roller shades so the screen can be enjoyed at any time of day. For other video throughout the home, we placed 60 and 70" Sony televisions. Streaming content was made possible through the use of both AppleTVs and Rokus, and the equipment rack also houses 2 Sony Blu-Ray players. As far as audio was concerned, we used Sonos connects, Sonos Playbars and subwoofers in the bedrooms, and in the main living space, there are paradigm speakers, including 2 in-wall subwoofers, 3 in-wall fronts, 2 in-wall surrounds, and 2 in-ceiling surround backs, all powered by a Sony Receiver. A Control4 amplifier powers the streaming audio throughout the rest of the home. Control4 is the home automation system we used throughout, which included 7" touchscreens in the entrance, the kitchen, and the master, Control4 remote controls in the various rooms, light switches with engraved buttons as well as dimmers. The Yale locks and DSC alarm system are all integrated with Control4, as well as the aforementioned motorized shades. With a very curated vision by the homeowner, and our attentiveness to the goals of the client, this project turned out to be an impressive display of home automation and integration at work.

Our client's home theater is filled with rich wood built-ins, burgundy leather, a tray ceiling, and eye-catching light fixtures. This handsome space needed our additions to be discreet and streamlined to maintain a sophisticated aesthetic. We took that into account with several key decisions on this project. For one, the Sony projector could have been mounted to the ceiling or on a rear wall, as is the case in many home theaters, but the tray ceiling allowed us to create a more elegant solution, recessing the projector into the soffit. The only part of the projector you see is the light shining through a decorative face plate. The customer had custom fabric acoustic panels placed around the room, so we installed the subwoofers inside the panels below the screen to conceal them. For the rest of the theater, we placed Paradigm Prestige speakers around the room to create theater surround sound. The customer was already utilizing Control4 to run the rest of the house, and its a great control system for a home theater because all of the capabilities you would want a theater to have are easily controlled via the Control4 app, remote, or wall panel. Our customer chose a sleek black wall panel, and we customized and programmed the panel to be able to turn the whole room on and off, control only the lights, and control the cable box. Next to the buttons, there is also a light dimmer to further be able to customize the lighting. Through the app or remote control, you can also control the temperature of the room, the Blu-Ray player, and other media sources. While this project is now several years old, the tech still maintains a sophisticated look, and by utilizing a proven industry control system, the only updates and upgrades are that of software, unless the homeowner desires new aesthetic options.

A pair of 98" commercial-grade 4K displays anchor the front of the room, while an intelligent auto-tracking camera system follows the conversation automatically — no camera operator needed, no awkward framing. Whether a presenter is at the podium or a discussion moves around the table, the system detects the active speaker and adjusts, delivering a professional broadcast-quality view to every remote participant on the Microsoft Teams call. Audio was treated with equal care. Dante-networked microphones distributed across the conference table feed into professional digital signal processors with acoustic echo cancellation, ensuring remote participants hear the room clearly without feedback or echo. Eight ceiling speakers fill the space with far-end audio at natural, consistent levels throughout. The entire room — displays, cameras, microphones, motorized window shades, and lighting — is unified under a Crestron control system accessible from a 10" touchscreen at the table or the existing podium. Shades adjust on a schedule or at the touch of a button to eliminate glare, and occupancy sensors automatically bring the room to life when someone walks in and power it down when they leave. The result is a conference room that operates at an enterprise level without requiring an IT team in the room to run it.

For this particular home theater project, we worked with the customer throughout the construction of his house, and we utilized Google SketchUp to create renderings of what the final project would look like. As you can see from some of the pictures where we have put the sketch above or beside the finished product, the result was incredibly faithful to the sketches, which aided in giving our customer increased confidence in our abilities. Because this was new construction, there were few surprises that we encountered, and we were able to achieve a few added aesthetic touches to make the room really clean and sleek. First of all, the Sony projector was concealed in a soffit to maintain that streamlined appearance. We placed acoustic treatments on the walls, and, hidden behind the two treatments that flank the projection screen are subwoofers and media storage. They are hinged for easy access. All of the acoustic treatments are surrounded by LED lighting that use DMX, so they are customizable to any color choice the customer wants. We also installed a fiber optic ceiling that pairs really nicely with the LEDs around the room. The entire house uses Control4 for automation, so a Control4 remote controls the theater as well. The double racks, which contain all of the home’s equipment, sits behind two glass doors in the theater for easy access. This theater is impressive and has a crisp, modern feel that deftly manages to never feel cold or uninviting. It’s really exciting when we can take someone’s vision for their home and help make it a reality.

They wanted each of these spaces to be easy to use and have the ability to utilize different source devices. Our solution for these spaces was to run each with a simple keypad installed in the wall near the TV. For the flex space, we mounted a 70" HD flatscreen to the wall. On the small side wall of the alcove, we placed the in-wall keypad, which has five buttons for the user to choose from. These include: Local PC, TV Input, Wall Input, and Wi-Fi Present. The bottom button is a one-touch System Off button to turn the devices off. For the flex space, we housed all of the equipment in a nearby network closet, except for the wireless WePresent, which we mounted to the back of the large TV. In the conference room, we did largely the same thing, except this time the Sony 70" HD TV was hung on a swivel mount instead of a fixed mount. This allowed us to install all of the equipment behind the TV in two large flush-mount boxes in the wall. The swivel mount allows us to access the equipment should we need to because the TV can be pulled away from the wall, then easily pushed back into place. With a narrow room like this conference room, this is a more elegant and less bulky solution than an equipment rack or cabinet. Both rooms now have wireless, easy to use presentation capabilities by way of intuitive keypads that any user can navigate.

It needed to be something that would support both day-to-day operations and customer experiences. Their existing setup was a mix of older wiring, consumer-grade equipment, and piecemeal solutions that made things harder than they needed to be. Our job was to design and install a professional-grade network, audio system, and video display solution that tied everything together while keeping future growth in mind. Network: Building a Strong Foundation We started where every modern business should: the network. A new secure gateway and network switch formed the foundation, all neatly organized in a small wall-mounted rack in the back office. To ensure fast, reliable Wi-Fi throughout the space, we installed six ceiling-mounted wireless access points inside, plus one outdoor-rated unit for coverage outside. We also added an IP-based power conditioner, which may not sound exciting, but it makes a huge difference. Not only does it protect against power surges, but it also allows us to troubleshoot remotely, saving time and minimizing downtime if issues ever arise. Audio: Refreshing the Sound System The shop already had speakers and in-wall volume controls, but the wiring wasn’t up to commercial standards. We replaced the old CAT wiring with proper speaker cable, then connected everything to a new 8-channel commercial amplifier. This setup gives the client a reliable, professional-grade system that can easily power all the zones in the shop. For music playback, we added a Sonos Port. This allows staff to stream music seamlessly throughout the store. All zones play the same source, while each area’s volume is still controlled by the in-wall knobs, keeping it simple and intuitive for everyday use. All the audio gear, including a small power conditioner and network switch, was neatly organized on the existing shelving in the front closet. Video: Engaging Displays Where They Matter Most For the visual side of the project, we installed a total of eight commercial-grade displays across the space. Each was chosen and mounted to best serve the area it supports: 65" Displays Near the speaker equipment closet, mounted on a tilting bracket Behind the main counter, also on a tilting mount Behind the trade-in “bar,” mounted for visibility In the party room, installed on a mobile TV cart for flexibility 55" Displays Two units mounted behind the POS “bar” stations, integrated into existing cutouts for a clean, built-in look. Two units mounted on full-motion arms in cubbies, giving staff flexibility to angle them as needed. Each display was paired with its own small power conditioner to ensure clean, reliable power. The Result By the end of the project, the client had a secure and scalable network, a refreshed audio system that makes use of their existing hardware, and a suite of vibrant displays strategically placed throughout the shop. Everything is intuitive for the staff to operate, while the behind-the-scenes technology is built to commercial standards for reliability and longevity. The result is a shop that sounds better, looks sharper, and runs smoother, all thanks to a technology infrastructure designed to work together seamlessly.

Sometimes, though, we get to be involved in the total transformation of a space from scratch. So when one of our customers approached us wanting to add a boardroom to his business, we got to see, and participate in, the creation of a really elegant new space for his company. Before The room really was nothing more than four walls in the beginning. The customer's goals for the room were that it needed to function as both the location for internal meetings, as well as host potential clients, so it needed to impress. Since this customer was already a residential client of ours, we used a Control4 processor, as he was already familiar and comfortable with using Control4 in his home. The other preferences were that we use a TV for presentations instead of projection, and that we not impose on the clean, refined look of the coffered ceiling and walls. To achieve this, we decided to forgo in-ceiling speakers and went with a soundbar below the TV instead. The other way we maintained the look is by putting the equipment rack in another room so as not to disrupt the overall aesthetic. Key Features A Control4 10" touchscreen was placed on the wall as you enter for controlling many functions of the room. For managing the room from the table, a Control4 SR-260 remote control was employed. A convenience table box was added to keep VGA and HDMI cables neatly organized and quickly located. A Nearus USB camera was placed on top of 80" Sharp TV for video conferencing. The camera uses Skype to communicate with the company's other offices around the region. We also put a wePresent wireless presentation system in the rack. As I mentioned in the beginning, an Episode soundbar was put into place underneath the TV to provide ample sound to the room while maintaining its clean look. Finally, integrated lighting controls were installed, as well as a motion sensor, so the lights turn on as you enter the room. After As you can see from the finished product, our customer achieved the sophisticated look he was hoping for and allowed us to incorporate technological features that made the room, not only classic, but forward thinking as well.

The finished space is dark grey from floor to ceiling, with acoustic panels on the walls, low-slung seating, and a bar-height table behind the front row. The picture comes from a Sony native 4K projector on a Da-Lite screen sized for the wide anamorphic image. The 5.1.2 audio system uses three in-wall front speakers behind the screen line, two in-ceiling rear speakers, two in-ceiling Atmos height speakers, and a 12-inch subwoofer in the room, all driven by a Sony ES receiver. Thirty-two acoustic panels were placed around the room to control reflections, which is what makes dialogue intelligible at theater volume. A Control4 controller and remote run the projector, the receiver, and the theater lighting from one handset, and a rack in a separate equipment location holds the electronics with IP-controlled power conditioning so any component can be rebooted remotely. A Salamander Designs cabinet in the basement was added for the owner's turntable and future audio equipment.

The school asked us to give it a modern audio, video, and control system that respected the architecture, and to bring the adjoining Old Chapel onto the same system. Audio is built on Biamp Tesira servers with Dante networking, three Dante-enabled amplifiers, and a proAV network switch. The sanctuary's speakers are two custom Community line-array columns on custom rigging, installed where the old speakers had been, with small point-source monitors for the side rooms. The chapel organ is integrated into the system. Twelve hardwired microphone connections surround the stage, and twelve Shure ULX-D wireless microphones, four handhelds and eight lapels on three quad receivers, charge in docking stations between services, with an RF Venue antenna distribution system to prevent dropouts. Video runs through a Crestron 8x8 DigitalMedia matrix to two laser projectors with long-throw lenses and two motorized screens of roughly 170 inches flanking the great window, with an HDMI wall plate and Crestron AirMedia for wireless presentation from any device. A Dante adapter feeds clean audio to the school's streaming camera. The whole system is run from a Crestron CP4 processor and two 10-inch in-wall touchscreens, one beside the stage and one at the front corner of the balcony, with a 12-fader controller at the rear for services that need hands-on mixing. Pages for scenes, video, audio, and microphones are simple enough for any faculty member to run, and can be locked with a PIN. In the Old Chapel, a Sony laser projector was integrated with the existing screen, a Biamp TesiraForte handles audio and up to four existing microphones, three HDMI wall plates and a second AirMedia serve presenters, and a 10-inch touchscreen near the stage controls the room. Both racks were re-dressed, labeled, and put on IP-controlled power conditioning so we can support the system remotely.

The living room is the showpiece: a large television set into a custom wall of built-ins with lighted shelving, with Sonance speakers installed above so the sound comes from the architecture rather than a soundbar on the shelf. The wiring plan reached the rest of the house as well: the kitchen, the screened porch, the master bedroom and bath, the study, the laundry, and a gaming room each received the network and speaker cabling they needed, with additional runs for motorized shades, cameras, and the front door so those systems could be added without opening the walls again. Sonance in-ceiling and in-wall speakers were installed in the study and master bedroom, and conduit was left in place for future runs. It is the kind of project we recommend to anyone renovating: the cost of a cable during construction is small, and the cost of the same cable afterward is a patched wall. Disciplines: Audio, Video, Automation ### [Golf Man Cave](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/missionary-ridge-golf-sim) Chattanooga, TN · Residential project Amazing golf simulator We’ve worked on several man caves, basement conversions, and bonus room transformations, all with the intent of helping to create a custom space for a homeowner to feel like they have a unique, themed room. But this particular project stands out as truly unique, because of it’s primary focus: golf. Our customer wanted a space that centered around, and integrated with, his Trackman golf simulator. To get started, we knew that we’d be using a Control4 system, as we had already used Control4 in both his residence and conference room at his business. So we put in a Control4 processor and utilized a Control4 touchscreen as well as remote to control the room. As far as the actual Trackman, we worked with a third party contractor who supplied and configured the simulator, but we then wired and integrated it with Control4. The space itself is one large room, but it is divided into two sections, the golf simulator, and then a separate hang out space equipped with a kitchen, bath, and seating area. Because it’s not a large space, we didn’t need to overwhelm it with too many TVs. Instead there is one fixed Sony TV in the kitchen area, and one Sony TV on a motorized mount that articulates 90 degrees so that you can choose to either watch from the golf area or the seating area. There is one more screen that accompanies the Trackman, which we also put on an articulating mount. As far as sound goes, we used a Sonos Connect Amplifier with Paradigm in-ceiling speakers. Because this structure is on the customer’s property but not connected to the main house, a separate security system was put into place. We integrated a DSC alarm system with Control4 so that he could control it remotely, and it also controls the gate that leads to both the main house and man cave. We used wirepath cameras and recorder for added security. One cool feature was that, due to limited space, the customer wanted easy access to the equipment rack, but he still wanted it to be hidden. There are no closets in the room, so the rack is on a custom built pull out shelf for access, but completely out of sight behind a cabinet door in the kitchen area. Custom projects like these are great because they provide unique challenges that help us grow and use our creativity so that we can implement those ideas in future projects.

With such capacity, the facility needed a robust sound system that would cover the field, the press box, the concessions area, restrooms and changing rooms, and the equipment areas. We were able to provide everything necessary to produce high-quality sound for the stadium. As far as the stadium itself, we mounted full-range loudspeakers of various sizes to the press box and light posts in order to give good coverage to the field, home bleachers, and visitor's side bleachers. The press box is a key component of the stadium, because it is from here that all announcing is done. With the expectation that the press box will be used by many different people, we needed to make everything installed there easy to use and intuitive. We put a push-button microphone on the counter for the announcer, and we also installed a wireless microphone system that is capable of having two handheld microphones and two lapel microphones working at the same time for when announcing needs to be done outside the press box, at field level. For the home and visitor side concession stands, we installed loudspeakers with volume control mounted inside the concession area. We placed in-ceiling speakers in the changing rooms and all concession building restrooms. In the equipment room, we installed a rack to house all necessary A/V equipment. The rack included high-powered amplifiers, a CD/media player with Bluetooth, an audio connection for various audio sources such as phones or laptops, a DSP for audio mixing and equalization, and finally power sequencing surge protection for all of the equipment. The stadium now has reliable and effective audio with ample coverage for its expansive new field and surroundings.

Others are much more challenging. In the case of this particular room conversion, we initially had one of the worst possible layouts. The spare bedroom the customer presented us with had a sloped, uneven ceiling, and it was almost pentagonal in shape. The room also had an entire wall of windows. It was incredibly incompatible with the theater seating for six that the customer desired, and many configurations were attempted in the process of figuring out how to accomodate a large projection screen. Once the layout was finalized, we decided to make a few adjustments to maximize space. We placed the equipment rack in an adjacent room and placed the two Paradigm subwoofers in custom cabinets. The rest of the speakers around the room are recessed into the walls, so those didn't need special accomodations. The projector and screen are both THX Ultra-certified, and both went through THX video calibration. Now, many home theaters have an area within the theater with a refrigerator, perhaps a popcorn machine, or other amenities you might find in a traditional theater. One really neat feature of this theater is that, since there were space constraints, an area just off of the theater was designed for such a purpose where we placed a 26" Samsung television. If someone needs to step out for refreshments, the theater remains dark and quiet, but the person leaving the theater can continue to watch the movie on the TV and not miss a thing. All in all, we were able to provide the stunning visuals and audio the customer requested, and we even managed to install a custom star-filled ceiling for added drama. What began as an awkward, challenging room turned into a Cedia-award winning theater for technical design.

This custom video wall was an exciting project for us. The customer was already a commercial client of ours and they had a unique request. In their new conference center, there’s a corridor that lines the perimeter of the building, with several conference rooms in the center of the floorplan. Staff uses this long hallway to exercise during breaks, but its primary use is that it’s where guests go to have conferences in the large meeting spaces. Because it sees so much traffic from both employees and visitors, the idea was to have it branded with company memorabilia. It’s basically walking through a timeline of the history of the organization, with physical memorabilia, plaques, and pictures. But they wanted the centerpiece to have a wow factor in the way of an eye-catching video wall. For this special video wall, we used 10 46” NEC monitors on chief portrait mounts, evenly staggered to give it a unique, striking look for anyone that comes upon it. With 10 screens, the size of the overall presentation allows for the display of images, the company logo, as well as dynamic video through the use of 10 Brightsign digital signage players. The customer can create their own content and change it as frequently as they’d like. There are remote controllable power conditioners behind the displays so electronics can be rebooted without having to remove any of the screens. The displays have schedules built in so they turn on and off automatically with business hours. It certainly delivers as a conversation starter, and its placement at the end of the long corridor filled with milestones and achievements points to the company’s desire to be forward-thinking and technologically ahead of the curve.

You can see from the pictures that our work took us from the great room to the bedrooms, to the kitchen, to the basement, to the patio. Not featured in the images is work we did in the garage, stairways, and exteriors. For the lighting, we installed dimmers, keypads, switches, and fan controllers to provide smart lighting throughout the home. The programming included, but was not limited to, having the exterior lights turn off and on at sunrise and sunset, and having pathway lighting come on if entering the home through the basement. For security, a DSC system was installed and integrated with the Control4 home automation system. We placed two keypads (one at the front door and one at the basement entry) for easy arming and disarming of the alarm. By having security integrated, and not separate from the rest of the home, the homeowner can use just the Control4 app to check the status of the alarm on the app, while also checking on the lighting and other features while away. In the great room, we installed a TV above the fireplace on a tilt mount, which is customary when placing a TV in a higher than eye-level spot. To achieve 5.1 Surround sound in this room, we used in-ceiling speakers and a small, floor-standing subwoofer. In the bedrooms, bath, and basement living area, we wall-mounted TVs with HDMI extenders to allow users to select from and control any source (cable, satellite, AppleTV) connected to the system. Each of these rooms can be controlled via handheld Control4 remote control or via the Control4 app. Additionally, the master bedroom has a 7" touchscreen above the lighting panel that can control the security system, and it also had added intercom capabilities. The same was all done in the kitchen, except the kitchen required additional audio capabilities, so we added two in-ceiling speakers over the island. We also put a touchscreen in this room, since it sees so much use. The interface on the touchscreen makes it really simple to control music, lighting, and the thermostat. Because it does see so much activity, a dome camera was put in the corner to be able to monitor activity in the room from anywhere. On the outdoor patio, we installed a lot of the same equipment as elsewhere, hanging the large TV on the same type of tilt mount, and like in other rooms, we added power conditioning behind the TV to help protect the devices. Again, we added in-ceiling speakers and a dome camera. Cameras were also added to the garage, and here we tied the doors to the automation system, allowing the homeowners to raise and lower them from the interface. Two tilt sensors were placed directly on the doors to detect and then show in the app when the doors are opened or closed. With so much necessary equipment, we dedicated a small closet to housing the equipment rack. This served to keep each room free from clutter, keep everything in one location for servicing, and ensure the items are properly spaced for ventilation.

Disciplines: Video walls ### [Miracle League Baseball Field](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/miracle-league-baseball-field) Chattanooga, TN · Commercial project Quality PA and audio system. A local nonprofit approached us with a need for audio at their brand new inclusive baseball facility. As the facility is outdoors, we needed to make sure that the speakers we used were rated for all weather conditions. The project also included adding a microphone and some additional equipment. For the speakers, we used two 5" FBT Shadow speakers that have an IP55 rating, which ensures that the speakers are protected from not only water from rainfall, but also from fine particulates like dust, which is certainly present at a baseball field. These were placed facing the stands. As you can see in the pictures, there are two speakers that face the field and have more exposure to the elements. For these, we went with FBT Shadow 108CT speakers, which also have water-stop grills with 3 additional layers of protection. We then installed two Lab Gruppen amplifiers to power the four speakers, and we added a Behringer mixer to be able to provide high-quality sound through the speakers. The mixer allows users to connect a music source and control the volume and the mix of the audio in each set of speakers. The facility also needed a microphone for the announcer's table, so we installed a Shure 522 microphone that has "push to talk" functionality so the announcer can easily address the fans and players. This microphone is perfect for this type of setting because it is designed to suppress background noise and reduce feedback. Finally, we placed an equipment rack in the storage room to house the amplifier and mixer. We added a power conditioner with low voltage surge protection to the rack in order to protect all of the equipment.

To achieve these objectives, we used two fixed 30x zoom 1080 IP cameras, and one 30x IP PTZ UHD camera that has the ability to pan around the room and zoom in as needed. We placed one of the fixed cameras on the ceiling in the mid-rear of the room aimed at the commissioners' dais. The second fixed camera was mounted to the ceiling in the front of the room, aimed at the speaker at the podium. The PTZ camera was placed mid-room next to the camera recording system in order to be able to pan across the dais and zoom in on each speaker. In order to easily control the cameras and recorder, we put a control keypad on the wall beside the front entrance. From this keypad, functions such as recording and streaming are as simple as pressing a button to begin and end. In addition to the equipment we installed, we also worked with the commission to program an iPad with an interface that also controlled the camera recording system. Ease of use is very important in situations where there are potentially many different users, and this system is very straightforward.

The Well Advantage Fitness Center is part of a 20,000 square foot facility specifically for city of Chattanooga employees. It has doctor's offices, a pharmacy, even a test kitchen. We were brought in to outfit the fitness center with state of the art technology, audio, video, and some other perks that you might find at private gyms or clubs. There are five main areas to the fitness center where we did installations: the free weight area, the spin room, an exercise room for classes, the lobby, and a flexible space that is mostly used for presentations. I'll break down what we did in these spaces. In the lobby area, we added an XBox and Kinect so visitors could enjoy game-based exercises in the waiting area. For the entire facility, we installed a 70-volt audio sytem throughout that uses Sonos streamers and Episode amplifiers. We hung five TVs in the free weight and machine space, as well as one in the spin room. There are Sony Blu-Ray players for more content options for the TVs. Everything is controlled via Control4, so we useed Control4 Processors and remote controls for the televisions. In the flex space, we installed a projection screen. We later added sound in the test kitchen, with its own receiver and two on-wall speakers. The facility boasts the same amenities as any private gym. At opening, more than 60% of the city's employess began utilizing the facility in some way. Our reliable system insures that the heavy foot traffic and usage is uninterrupted and working properly for the many visitors.

One of the best features of this condo is the outdoor patio space with a fantastic view of downtown. We made sure that we brought high quality audio and video to that space to make it even more enjoyable for the homeowners. In the end, we did upgrades of some sort in almost every room of the condo. In the living room, we mounted a Sony 75" 4K Bravia TV with a Sonos Playbar installed just below it, which we connected and configured to enhance the TV's sound, as well as wirelessly stream music. We also placed 2 8" speakers in the ceiling to further increase the quality of the room's sound. In the den, we used the customer's existing TV, but to enhance the sound, we again added Sonos speakers, as well as in-ceiling speakers. We did the same in the bedrooms, office, bar area, and master bath. On the patio, we installed a SunBrite Pro Series 55" outdoor TV and two Episode All-Weather Series speakers. These items are all designed specifically to withstand the elements. For the network, we installed and configured a gigabit router and network switch, as well as two wireless access points. For security upgrades, we created a custom 2GIG GC3 security package that included thermostats, locks, and came with a color touch screen keypad and cell communicator. We were able to use some of the homeowner's existing equipment such as TVs, where upgrades weren't truly needed at the time, and where we did need to upgrade, we made sure to adhere to the aesthetic preferences of the client, and the needs of the space.

For this home theater, we were brought in to make some upgrades and enhancements for the home's new owner. The theater needed a new projector, a new screen, a new surround sound system, a new control system to run the theater, and finally, a new lighting system that included a custom fiber optic ceiling and LED lighting in the crown molding. For the new projection system, we replaced the existing projector with a new 4K HDR projector, but we had to relocate it to the rear of the theater to have extra distance due to the increase in projection screen size. We replaced the existing screen with a new 133" acoustically transparent projection screen. We then installed a Roku, a cable box, a Blu-Ray player, and a new 4K AppleTV to be dedicated sources for the theater, apart from the rest of the house. A powerful 4K A/V receiver was installed to handle the video source switching and drive the new sound system. To achieve the desired 7.2 surround sound, we placed 7 speakers around the perimeter of the room, plus two subwoofers. Three of the speakers were placed behind the projection screen since it is acoustically transparent and designed for the sound to be able to carry through the screen. One thing that made this theater unique was the custom lighting touches the customer wanted. We installed an 8x12 fiber optic "starry sky" ceiling and then ran LED lighting strips in the newly installed crown molding. The strips are highly customizable. As you can see in the pictures at left, the brightness and colors can be easily changed to whatever color the customer wants. To control the audio, video, and lighting, we went with a Control4 automation system. The customer was already using Control4 to control the rest of the house, so it was already familiar, thus easy to implement in the theater. We placed a Control4 remote control in the theater to interface with the system. In addition, there are two 6-button panels where the original light switches were, making it easy to walk into the theater and have 12 buttons preset to preferred settings. The customizable buttons can control volume, lighting scenes, video sources, really anything the customer wants to have as a shortcut. The benefit to these shortcut buttons, too, is that they can be reconfigured remotely at any time. Finally, to house everything required to run the theater, we placed an equipment rack in a nearby mechanical room so everything could be out of sight and housed neatly in a single, easily serviceable location.

Our customer who owns a studio on their property that serves as a role model camp and multipurpose space needed a video presentation system and several A/V upgrades to make the space more user-friendly. First, the room needed a projection system, so we mounted an Epson projector on a pole attached to one of the ceiling's cross beams. For the screen, we went with a 16:10 diagonal, 133" motorized screen because it needed to be retractable to not interfere with the catwalk when it was being used. For video sources for the projection screen, there are five, including a new Sony Blu-Ray player, and a new AppleTV. To control the five sources, we installed a Control4 Entertainment and Automation Controller that we tied to a 7" in-wall touchscreen, as well as a handheld remote control so the room can be controlled from anywhere in the room. The audio output from the projector, the Blu-Ray player, the new wireless headset microphone, and the Control4 wireless music player were all connected to a NEXIA 10-channel digital mixer and a 70-Volt amplifier. We then mounted six JBL sound-reinforcement on-wall speakers on the side walls. The studio needed its own network, so we setup a wireless network with a gigabit router and an 8-port network switch for the wired connections to the equipment. To control the lighting, we installed four Control4 wireless dimmers. The panel is on the wall beside the touchscreen. One of the dimmers has a series of shortcuts that allow for pre-determined lighting scenarios to be selected with a touch of a button. These scenes can be reprogrammed at any time if the needs of the customer change. The studio's upgrades and enhancements allowed it to be more user-friendly, efficient, and up-to-date.

The large room contained several distinct and separate areas, including tech services, an IT collaboration space, and a break area for employees. In the tech services area, we installed a 75" Sony TV on an extra large articulating mount. Behind the TV, we were able to house a power conditioner, a WePresent, and AppleTV, and microPC, all neatly tucked into versa boxes, completely hidden from view, yet still completely accessible when needed. To operate the devices and the TV, we placed a Control4 configurable keypad on the wall near the TV. The customer also wanted us to install monitors in four sets of two along the tech bench. For this, we used dual monitor mounts, and behind the screens we installed HDMI, VGA, Displayport, and VGA+Audio input wall plates and wiring for each of the 8 monitors. For the IT collaboration area, we did laregly the same thing that we had done in tech services, except the functions and shortcuts on the configurable keypad were altered to better suit the needs of the IT staff and what they may use the TV for. The break area was slightly different. We hung three 55" Sony TVs on articulating mounts. Again, we used versa boxes in the wall behind the center TV to house the Control4 EA-1 controller, power conditioning, AppleTV, and microPC. Here, too, the TVs are controlled via wall-mounted keypad. The TVs are all programmed to work in conjunction with one another, and the keypad allows them to be turned on and off, or their inputs all changed, with one-touch functionality. Looking around the room at the different areas, the thing that stands out from an A/V perspective is the lack of a need for remotes. Everything can be controlled easily and intuitively through the in-wall keypads, and the sleek and stylish open concept isn't cluttered with extra, unnecessary tech. Disciplines: Video, Automation Equipment: Control4 EA-1 Controller (3); Control4 Configurable Keypad (4); WePresent (2); Sony 75" TV (2); Sony 55" TV (3); Dual Monitor Mount (4) ### [Crisis Center](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/government-crisis-center) Knoxville, TN · Government project Video Wall & Distribution This project included taking down an existing video wall, and replacing it with a much larger, nicer custom wall of screens. Once we had a clean slate, we got to work installing 12 55" 1080P narrow-bezel video wall monitors on a modular floor-to-ceiling video wall frame. The monitors were arranged in a 2 row/6 column presentation. Each monitor was connected to a 4K capable HDMI receiver to provide video from desired sources. We added 12 4K capable HDMI transmitters at the control desk and connected those to the 12 corresponding outputs of a PC that was provided by the customer. 4 BYOD (bring your own device) locations were installed throughout the room, providing users the ability to connect a digital device and broadcast that image to the video wall via the touch panel at the control desk. We also supplied adaptors for connections other than HDMI, should they be needed. An audio receiver was connected to the new 2-channel amplifier to provide audio from any source to the existing speakers. A new Crestron control system was installed to provide full room control, including powering the video wall on and off, video routing to the screens, and on-the-fly wall size adjustment. These changes can all be made from the 15" touchscreen control panel located at the control desk. In order to keep everything tidy, we placed all of the necessary equipment in two racks-one under the control desk to house the customer-supplied PC, HDMI transmitters, network switch, and UPS, and the other underneath the video wall itself to house the control processor, HDMI receivers, and UPS. You can see from the pictures how unobtrusive the racks are. The final thing we did in the space was take down two existing TVs and rehang them on either side of the new video wall. We added control to these two TVs to allow them to turn on and off with the control panel, streamlining all room functions to the one panel, instead of from various sources.

For this gorgeous north Georgia new home project, we completed two separate projects. One was a home theater, which has its own portfolio on our website, and the other consisted of the rest of the home, which included audio, video, automation and control, networking, security, and included both the inside of the home, as well as outside on the lanai. To control all of the audio, video, and security integration, we used a Control4 home automation system. To control the system, we supplied six handheld remotes that can perform all of the A/V functions, with the ability to add other home features, such as lighting, if the customer wants to add that in the future. For audio, the house was divided into seven audio zones. In the kitchen/breakfast zone, we placed four speakers in the ceiling. Since the kitchen and breakfast area consists of two connected rooms, but just one audio zone, their volume and content are congruent. All four speakers are connected to a single amplifier. We did the same thing in the next two zones, which were the master bath and "his" closet as one zone, and "her" closet and the laundry making up another zone. The master bedroom became its own zone. In the master bedroom, we installed a Sonos Playbar to provide a 3.0 home theater surround sound system, and did the same in the guest bedroom zone. The final indoor zone is the family room, where we installed a Sonos Playbar, a subwoofer, and a Connect Amp with in-ceiling rear speakers that together provide a 5.1 surround sound system. Outside, on the lanai, we put in all-weather speakers and connected them to a single amplifier. For video, a network-based, scalable, 4K HDMI video distribution system was installed to distribute seven video sources to six video zones. The TVs received streaming video players that we placed behind each TV. For the network, a new full-gigabit router and 24-port switch was installed to provide a hardwired connection for equipment located in a dedicated equipment closet. We placed 3 wireless access points throughout the home to provide a strong wireless network for the home, and we also added two hardwired connections to the office. For surveillance, we installed four 1080P High-Definition cameras and connected them to a DVR. We also installed an interactive doorbell to provide 2-way audio and 1-way video communication. Notifications are sent to the homeowner's phone when the doorbell is pressed. For additional security, we placed door contacts, glass break sensors, motion sensors, a siren, and cell backup. We installed two keypads, one in the master bedroom closet, and one near the garage entrance door that can control the alarm system. When you do a whole home installation that involves a lot of equipment, you prefer that it is housed in a central location that is easily accessible for servicing. We did that here, putting all of the A/V, networking, and security equipment in a large rack and added power conditioning and battery backup to protect against potential electrical damage or power surges. The devices can be power cycled remotely or via an app on the customer's phone, simplifying things for the homeowner should power disruptions occur.

We worked on the full residence for this project, but I will focus on the rest of the house in another portfolio. The theater deserves its own walk through, as it was a big project in and of itself, and it has some great touches that I would like to detail. Having said that, the equipment rack for this room is located elsewhere in the house, making for a very clean look within the theater space. The nice thing about this is twofold. The lighting effects and overall design of the space works better without a closet inside the theater, but also in the practical sense, when the customer needs to access any equipment in the rack, there's no disruption in the theater. This may seem minor, but a good theater is inherently dark. Imagine if people were coming in and out to check on the living room cable box or the router while you were entertaining in the theater. Suddenly the feeling of being at the movies, as it were, is completely ruined. So let's break down everything that makes this theater special. We did audio, video, LED lighting, and a fiber optic ceiling. For video, we used a Sony 4K projector that we hung from the ceiling. That projects onto the acoustically transparent screen, so that no sound is blocked or muffled by the screen. For audio, we installed a 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos-capable surround sound system using Episode speakers with a Yamaha amplifier and processor. There are also acoustic treatments on the walls to enhance the audio performance of the room. On the ceiling, we placed an LED fiber optic star field ceiling, and customizable DMX lighting surrounds the star panels. As far as controlling the theater, to stay consistent with the rest of the home we used a Control4 processor to run the theater, and that includes the marquis that hangs above the entry to the theater itself. The end result of this project is a very modern theater that allows the customer to have the full movie-going experience in the comfort of his own home. Disciplines: Audio, Video, Theater Equipment: Sony 4K Projector; Episode Speakers; Yamaha Amplifier; Yamaha Processor; Control4 Processor; Control4 Remote Control; DMX Lighting ### [Tidy Signal Mountain Cinema Room](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/tidy-signal-mountain-theater) Signal Mountain, TN · Residential project · completed February 2019 Compact home cinema delivering a full theater experience This home cinema room shows how a homeowner can have all of the trappings of a commercial theater but still maintain its coziness and status as a home cinema room. In this space, we installed a 100" Dragonfly AcoustiWeave projection screen, which allowed us to save space on either side of the screen where speakers would typically go because the speakers are actually located behind the screen itself. What allows this to be possible is the nature of the screen's construction. There are small perforations in the screen so that it is acoustically transparent, but it is woven in a way that makes it visually opaque for the viewer. This cinema room is just one room in a house that is controlled by a Control4 home automation system, so we chose that here as well to control the theatrical functions, as well as the room's lighting. This is done one of two ways: the handheld SR-260 remote control, or a Control4 dimmer panel on the wall at the entrance to the room. For high-quality sound, the previously mentioned wall-mounted speakers instead sit behind the screen, but in addition to those, we added two subwoofers at the front of the room, and one at the rear, as well as four in-ceiling speakers, giving the room surround sound. The customer achieved a movie theater quality experience through these A/V additions, as well as through tiered theater seating, but they didn't sacrifice the handsome look of the room that matches the aesthetic of the rest of the home.

But it was time for some larger upgrades, and the customer also wanted to add some enhancements, so we took the opportunity to do all of those at one time. The scope of the refresh included new video and audio distribution, adding whole home audio, improving the network, replacing and consolidating the equipment rack, and upgrading the automation. Any equipment that was still in good working order and wouldn't hinder the performance of the upgraded equipment was kept and used. For video distribution, the existing component distribution was outdated, so we replaced it with a network-based, scalable, 4K HDMI video distribution system to distribute 7 sources to 8 video zones. To upgrade the audio distribution, we installed a new stand-alone audio matrix and connected it to the existing 8-zone amplifier. To give the entire home audio, we connected the amplifier to the Control4 automation system. We then placed new keypads in each audio zone. We programmed them so the homeowners could choose the audio source, control the volume, and turn the room off with the touch of a button. To improve the network, we installed a new full gigabit router and 24-port switch to provide a hardwired connection for the equipment located in the racks. We replaced all of the wireless access points with newer ones for increased range. You can see from the pictures that the equipment rack is housed in a dedicated closet space. The homeowner previously had two racks of varying size, so we replaced one of those so that we could join the two and create a clean equipment tower. We did this so we could distribute equipment evenly to reduce heat and increase wire routing efficiency. We also added power conditioning and battery backup to provide another layer of protection against electrical damage. Additionally, the power conditioners are network controllable, which allows us to power cycle the equipment remotely, potentially reducing the need for physical service calls should issues arise. The final upgrade we did was to the Control4 automation. The controller in the living room needed to be replaced to provide an additional zigbee access point and IR control. We also added two new extenders to replace older extenders for the Control4 wireless system. We made sure to upgrade any and all equipment that wasn't performing optimally, and for the equipment that didn't need replacing, we made sure that those devices were still able to perform well with the new devices and didn't slow the improved functionality of the new system.

In the larger conference room, we opted for a projection system, given the size and depth of the room. In this space, we suspended a high-powered Epson projector from the ceiling to project on a large, motorized screen that we surface mounted to the ceiling, directly above the large windows at the end of the room. For sound, we installed 4 in-ceiling speakers to provide high-quality audio evenly throughout the room. We then installed a round interface box into the table that connected to the electronics in a nearby cabinet. This box provides a retractable HDMI connection, a USB dongle connection, and a power outlet for users. We added a new 4K AppleTV, a customer-supplied WePresent, and a customer-supplied PC to a nearby cabinet and interconnected them via a 4x1 HDMI switch. All the devices we connected to the switch can be viewed on the projection screen. To control the room, we went with a Control4 automation system to run all the electronics in the room. To give the room even more one-touch functionality, we placed a configurable keypad on the wall that allows users to select the source to view on the screen, as well as control volume, and control the power. In the small conference room, we did much of the same, but due to its smaller size, we were able to use many electronic items the customer already had. The room is too small for projection, so we used the customer's TV, which fit the space nicely. We installed the customer's AppleTV and micro PC in versa boxes behind the TV to keep them out of sight. Then, we added the same type of interface box to the table that we had placed in the larger conference room, and again utilized Control4 to run the room, with the same wall-mounted keypad that allows users one-touch functionality.

Though it may be an easy job, we take just as much pride in our work as we would with any other complex project. One such job was this skybox, where we installed a Sony 65" TV for our customer. The space is very clean and it needed a TV to match the aesthetic, with no visible wires, and not placed on a bulky media console. We mounted the TV on a large Snap AV fixed mount, and now the customer has the ability to watch the live game in front of them while simultaneously enjoying something else on TV.

We started by replacing the existing processor with a new Crestron processor that could handle the control requirements for the new, updated A/V system. We were able to keep the client's existing Crestron touchscreen, but we adjusted the interface so it would be compatible with the new functionality of the room. We then updated the network equipment so everything could properly communicate with each other. For audio/video, we upgraded the existing Crestron system to a 4K-capable video-over-IP system that can distribute many video sources. In this case, the client needed to distribute 11 potential sources to the two large projectors. These sources range from a Blu-Ray player to an AppleTV, among others. For audio, we installed 9 new 70V, 6" in-ceiling speakers for improved sound quality. We also installed 12 new omnidirectional microphones to use during teleconferencing or videoconferencing sessions. We then put in a digital mixer to provide audio mixing of all the microphones with source audio, as well as to provide a teleconferencing interface with an analog phone line. Other enhancements we made to update the room included installing a new equipment rack, with the new one having the capability to slide out and rotate for easier accessibility. When we put the equipment in the new rack, we added fans for cooling and power conditioners to allow power outlets to be rebooted remotely, eliminating downtime. We also added lighting to the podium, and we replaced the projectors with newer, high powered laser projectors that we calibrated and programmed to the new Crestron system.

We kept all of the equipment in the facility that we could integrate with the update. We strive to never have a customer upgrade their existing equipment until it is called for, unless it isn't compatible with the new updates and can't keep up with enhanced performance. As a result, the in-ceiling speakers, microphones, video conferencing codec, podium, and PC were all retained and integrated with the new control system. To run the room, we went with a Crestron Control System, which operates through the use of a new 15" touch panel. The screen on the touch panel is more intuitive and user-friendly. A new Crestron switch was installed to handle video routing to the new projector, monitors, and video conferencing system. Digital transmitters were placed at the podium to connect local video sources back to the equipment rack for switching. For audio, two new digital signal processors were put into the rack to handle microphone sound mixing, and for teleconferencing. A Crestron amplifier was also added to the rack. Power conditioning was also added to help protect the equipment in the rack. For the new projectors, we had to use a slightly unique method of projection due to space constraints. We mounted the new short-throw laser projectors onto mirror bases. The projected images bounce off the mirrors and onto the projection screen. This way, the bulky projectors don't even have to be in the room, and the lack of distance required for rear projection was overcome in a creative way. In the end, the entire system received reprogramming to fit the needs of the users and make the room simple and straightforward to use.

Some of the upgrades were done for each specific space, but for some of the enhancements, we were able to use equipment that covered all three spaces. We upgraded the control system for all three rooms with a new Crestron Control system, but to run the smaller meeting rooms, we installed a single-gang keypad that allows a user to control the TV and other A/V equipment, the shades, and other equipment that may need to be installed in the future. From the keypad, the user can select the video source and adjust the volume. We also upgraded the A/V system to a 4K-capable video-over-IP system that can distribute four sources to eight destinations. We also placed four new 70V speakers in the ceiling to enhance the audio, and we replaced the TV with a Sony 75" Smart LED 4K Ultra High Definition TV, which we connected to the new A/V system. All of these seemingly minor enhancements amounted to a totally changed space in the end, with better and faster performance for our client.

The neat thing about this project was that we had already worked on the condo next door for another client, and her space was the mirror image of his. This provided us with a little foresight into layout and any issues we might potentially run into during the installation. For video, we hung five TVs, all Sony Smart TVs, since our customer watches mostly streaming services. All were hung on fixed mounts, except the one in the living room. To save space, there is a recessed Versa Box behind the living room TV that houses all the equipment needed for that room, so that TV is on an articulating mount so that it can be pulled away whenever anyone needs access to the equipment. The customer already had Sonos wireless speakers from a previous residence that he wanted to add throughout the home, so we complimented those with Sonos Playbars inside, zone recessed speakers outside, and a Sonos Connect Amp. For networking, we placed a Ubiquiti router with WAPs throughout for coverage. For security, we installed a 4 -Channel Analog camera system with Snap A/V HD dome cameras. All in all, this was a very straightforward installation that didn't provide any unique challenges, and it gave our customer all the amenities and security he was looking for in his new home.

We upgraded the sound system, video presentation system, projection system, video distribution system, microphones, teleconferencing capabilities, control system, lighting, TVs, and we added power conditioning, surge protection, and revamped the equipment racks. Before you enter the community room itself, there is a lobby and waiting area. We removed the existing TVs and replaced them with four 1080P 48" LCD monitors. All four monitors are able to display any of the connected video sources. The new control system allows for the mirroring of content being displayed on the projection screen in the meeting room onto the lobby monitors when appropriate. Once you enter the community room, the first noticeable upgrade is to the projection system. We installed a new 16:10 137" Draper motorized screen and paired that with a new Epson 6000 Lumen WUXGA laser projector. At the dais, we installed 16 new HDMI monitors that were supplied by the customer and connected them to a 4K video distribution system. The monitors were programmed to view the same source as the projector through the new Crestron Control System, but they also have the flexibility to view independent sources as needed. The new 4K HDMI video distribution has five inputs, but it is scalable to allow for future devices to be connected. We replaced 17 existing microphones and connected the new ones to two Biamp TesiraForte audio mixers with digital audio processing, echo cancellation, and teleconferencing capabilities. We hardwired the microphones so they can't be moved easily from their stations, but we also added four new handheld wireless microphones and connected them to the audio mixers as well, giving speakers the flexibility to move around the room as needed. We installed a new amplifier and connected it to the room's existing speakers, as they didn't require an upgrade at this time. To control the various functions of the room easily, we went with a Crestron Control System. We installed a processor in the equipment rack and connected it to all of the audio distribution, video matrix switching equipment, video sources, and monitors. To actually control all of these things in a simple, user-friendly way, we placed a 15" touch screen controller on the center table to serve as the single point of control for audio and video. From here, users can also control the lighting, make microphone adjustments, control the projector, adjust volume, and turn the whole system on and off. The new Crestron lighting system can also be controlled from a touchscreen installed on the wall. The system has various pre-programmed lighting scenes for expected scenarios that occur in the room, but individual lighting control is also an option. Finally, we cleaned out all the old wiring and equipment from the two racks in the room and put all of the new system equipment in and added power conditioning, battery backups, and IP control for both racks.

But sometimes small scale projects that are seemingly very simple still provide unique challenges. In this particular situation, the challenge we faced was that this room had glass on all sides. Very cool aesthetically, but we did have to work around that factor. The first thing to consider was that the light that comes into a room without standard walls is simply too bright for projection. So using a TV for the video was the obvious choice. Now, we would typically mount the Sony 65" TV that we used with either a standard tilt mount or articulating mount, but in this case, the only option was to use a tilt ceiling mount, as you can't mount onto glass. The glass also prevented us from running wire, so basically everything in the room had to be wireless. So we installed a wireless occupancy sensor that turns the TV on and off, and we placed a Crestron Airmedia onto the back of the TV, which allows users to be able to present content wirelessly from any mobile device. These small challenges allowed us to get creative in order to solve them, and now our client has a user friendly, and inherently more energy efficient conference room.

At Dalton High School's stadium we designed and installed a complete field audio system from the press box out to the concession stand. The main coverage comes from FBT Shadow 112 full-range loudspeakers mounted on the light poles: two per pole on either side of the press box facing the field, one on the back of each pole facing the bleachers, one per pole on the team sideline, and two more at the end zone for the track-and-field jump and throw areas. Four FBT Shadow 114 subwoofers on the poles beside the bleachers, driven by a dedicated high-powered amplifier, give the system the weight a game-day crowd expects. All of it runs on direct-burial speaker cable with surge protection at every pole. In the press box, a rolling equipment rack holds the amplifiers, a Biamp TesiraForte DSP for mixing and equalization, power sequencing and surge protection, an RF Venue antenna distribution system, and an Audix wireless system that runs two handheld and two lapel microphones at once. A push-button announcer microphone and an easy control keypad sit on the press box counter, with a Denon media player, a 3.5mm input, USB and Bluetooth connections for laptops and phones, and a feed from the Musco lighting system for synchronized light-and-sound shows. The concession building has four speakers with its own wall-mounted rack and multichannel amplifier, the dressing room and restrooms have in-ceiling speakers, and each area has its own volume control. We spent a full day training the staff on the system.

So, when new clients recently approached us and asked us how we might re-imagine their playroom into a dedicated home theater, we had some ideas. The space has some challenges that had to be overcome, though. It was this amazing, fun place for young kids, so the walls and carpet were colorful, bold and bright. There was built-in furniture for books, TV and toys. Sheetrock would need to be cut in order to run the cable necessary for the speakers, projector and new sconces. Lastly, the space was cozy, but we needed to be able to seat at least 6 people. The LED lighting can be customized to any color whether a soothing blue or the owner's college game day colors. Working with the client on the design of the room, we decided first on a darker color pallet. Then we were able to create a geometric design with acoustic panels that created an interesting look and also served to absorb some of the audio reflections off of the side and back walls. The client wanted a great sounding theater so we designed a Dolby 7.2.1 Atmos system. This system is comprised of 3 front speakers, 2 side speakers, 2 rear speakers, 2 presence speakers in the ceiling, and 1 subwoofer. We used full range speakers that accurately reproduce the highs and lows of each channel. Special features of these speakers are the fully enclosed back box and the high performance ribbon tweeters. The projector is a Sony 4K SXRD projector with HDR. With 1500 lumens, the projector throws a bright beautiful image to the 120" screen. These projectors are highly underrated when considering the value they provide at such affordable price points. The electronics suite is controlled with a simple-to-use Control4 remote control. After a few months of having the theater the owners confided that they use the theater every night and that it is one of the best purchases they have made.

We installed a Sony 65" TV on an XL tilt-mount, and behind that, placed two versa boxes in the wall that would house some equipment that we provided to control the room, as well as some of the equipment the client provided. Between the two boxes, we put in power conditioning, a WePresent, an AppleTV, a microPC, a Control4 EA-1, and two USB RX baluns. Below the TV, we placed an HDMI and USB wall plate for easy access, and then off to the side of the TV, we installed a Control4 configurable keypad that allows users to follow the one-touch prompts on the keypad to select their media source and turn everything off when they are finished. Ease of use for the space's collaborators allows for better creativity and innovation, so making sure the lounge was user-friendly was our primary goal that we ultimately met.

The projection screen didn't need replacing, but the projector was outdated, so we installed a new Canon projector on a new, more heavy-duty Chief ceiling mount, along with a new power conditioner. The sound system was lacking, so we installed a new 4.1 surround sound system. This consisted of two in-ceiling speakers in the front of the room, two in-ceiling in the back of the room, and a subwoofer, all wired to a new receiver. To control the room, we put a new Control4 system in place. This allows the customer to control the entire room using either a Control4 remote or the Control4 app on his iPad. Since there was the need for new equipment, we upgraded to a new equipment rack that now houses a new large power conditioner, new amplifier, receiver, and other various switches and devices. Newer equipment, better sound, and a centralized way of controlling everything in the room makes the space more intuitive and easier for our client to use and enjoy.

Their current system was outdated and could not keep up with current surveillance standards. To accomplish an upgrade, we overhauled the access control system, replaced cameras, and installed a new intercom system. We began by replacing the interior camera with an Axis Communications flat-faced 4MP Dome Camera with IR. The flat-faced design is better for surveillance purposes, because it reduces light reflections. It still captures really sharp video, even in total darkness, making it more suitable for security settings. For the exterior cameras, we replaced the old ones with Axis Communications compact outdoor 4K Ultra HD bullet cameras. With their high pixel density and image stabilization, these high definition cameras also work extremely well in low light or total darkness. We coupled the cameras with Axis’s Recorder as well as their License Plate Verifier to ensure the utmost in security when it comes to vehicles coming into the neighborhood. For the new access control system, we used a 2N system for app-based control for users, a touch keypad, as well as the more traditional RFID reader technology. We also installed a 2N intercom system with high quality audio and video. To hardwire the gate house so it could have a more reliable network, we installed a Ubiquiti Unifi router with gigabit ethernet and a 60W 8-port fully managed gigabit switch. We also added IP power conditioning so we can troubleshoot any equipment failures remotely and in real time without physically needing to be onsite. The combined upgrades of multiple HD cameras detecting all angles, a more secure entry process, and a hardwired access control system that is less susceptible to failure all add up to a much more secure feeling for residents of the neighborhood.

In the smaller barn there is a small theater that doubles as a golf simulator, with a garage on the lower level. In this building, our job was to provide a high-end, theater-grade sound system. The system would need to integrate with the existing golf simulator to provide audio from the simulator's PC to play through the theater speakers. To achieve great sound quality, we installed in-wall and in-ceiling speakers at various points in the room, as well as in-wall subwoofers. The client needed a control system to run these AV components, control the lighting, and raise and lower the motorized shades, so we went with a Control4 processor that consisted of a wall-mounted touch screen, as well as a handheld remote control. The room can be run from either device in largely the same way. To house all the new and existing equipment, we put in a small equipment rack. It holds the receivers, amplifiers, AppleTV, Blu-Ray player, network switch, and power conditioner. In the lower garage level, we installed a Sony 55" TV with a Sonos Beam soundbar hung just below the TV. We also added four in-ceiling speakers and a Sonos amplifier to power them. We also improved the building's network by installing an enterprise grade router, two switches, two indoor access points, and one outdoor access point. For the larger barn, we installed a Sony 85" TV above the fireplace on an extra-large, heavy-duty tilt mount to account for both the size and height of the TV. The great room is very large and really demands a TV of that size. As you can see in the photos, it fits the space very well. In each corner, we also placed a Sony 75" TV to accommodate a variety of entertaining scenarios. In the kitchen, we installed a pair of 6" in-ceiling speakers, and we used a Sonos amplifier to power them. These provide high quality audio, or the sound from the TVs can be extended to the kitchen if so desired in that space. We also improved the network capabilities in this barn as well, by adding two wireless access points, one outdoor access point, and a 16-port network switch in the equipment rack to distribute the network signal to TVs, amplifiers, and all access points. The equipment rack for this structure is housed in a storage room and it houses the aforementioned equipment, plus the client's existing AV equipment, as well as a 12-outlet IP power conditioner. The improvements and additions we made in each of the barns enhance their overall functionality and entertaining capabilities. Our clients no longer have to worry about insufficient network coverage or inadequate audio, and everything is now tied together with a cohesive and user-friendly control system.

Our technicians get to squeeze in a little sightseeing while out of town, and it’s always nice to expand our footprint throughout the region. What we provided was an 8-panel video wall that consisted of 55? .88mm ultra-narrow bezel screens. We then connected the screens to a 10×8 video wall processor for displaying content. We also installed 8 HD video players to play customer-supplied video content. The customer can choose on-demand content, or simply have content looped. To compliment this main focal point of the room, we placed 4 new speakers in the ceiling to provide audio to the room, as well as an audio processor and amplifier to power the new speakers. We added a 7? touchscreen to the wall with a user-friendly interface to control the content of the video wall. We also put a magnetic charging dock and case on the wall for an iPad controller. For presentations, we provided a Barco wireless presentation device with a wireless video dongle. We installed an HDMI input for connecting laptops or other devices to the video wall. We added several pieces of equipment to the room that were unrelated to the video wall itself, but that enhanced the overall performance of the room. We placed an occupancy sensor on the ceiling to detect when users enter and exit the room, and then turn power on and off accordingly. We also put in an IP-controlled power conditioner to remotely reboot equipment located in the equipment rack. Finally, the customer wanted a piece of furniture to house the equipment, have additional storage space to keep the room neat, and conceal a mini-fridge. On site, we assembled a commercial-grade, custom cabinet that had enough room for the 2 equipment racks, a fridge, and empty space, as requested. The end result was a project that delivered to the customer a sleek, functional space for collaboration free from distraction.

He already had a new projector and motorized screen, so the goal was to design around those components. The customer's decision to opt for a projection system as opposed to a TV or video wall stemmed from the fact that the whiteboard plays a large role in many of the company's meetings, so the presentation system needed to be flexible, and essentially be able to get out of the way when the whiteboard was needed. Obviously a fixed, mounted screen wouldn't be able to do that. Aside from these initial parameters, the customer wanted his conference room to be easier to use and for it to have up-to-date technology. With that in mind, here’s what we provided: -The ability to control a meeting from a WiFi tablet -Keypads with easy shortcuts to commonly used functions -Integrated Lighting -In-Ceiling Speakers Key Features We provided two Control4 interfaces in the room. Our client wanted the ability to control meetings from a tablet to allow for portability around the conference table. The benefit of a tablet is that it can perform other functions, not just solely run presentations. We also installed keypads on the wall near the entrance to the room. We programmed the keypads with shortcuts to the functions that are used during most meetings and presentations. Any user can easily control the room with the touch of a button. The shortcuts were custom engraved, but should the customer ever decide to change the functionality of the keypad, we can always reprogram and the faceplates can be swapped easily. Another feature located at the room's entrance are the in-wall USB ports that are used in conjunction with a dedicated PC, so that users can insert thumb drives that contain their presentations and easily deliver content to the room. These USB ports also allow someone to connect a wireless mouse and keyboard dongle and use those items freely at the conference table, even though the PC is in a rack in another room. The great thing about the equipment rack being housed in a separate location is that the rack stores components for other conference rooms as well. If someone needs access to any equipment, a meeting in progress never needs to be interrupted. We also installed integrated lights with occupancy detection that control the lighting when users enter and exit the room. It's a simple feature that really adds value and impresses those who enter for the first time. The last addition was the installation of in-ceiling speakers to provide ample audio throughout the room while blending seamlessly with the surroundings. Result An upgrade to an existing space doesn't always have to be a complete overhaul in order to make a big difference to the performance of the room. At the end of the project, our client gained newer technology that was user friendly. He walked away with a newly imagined space that is now more dynamic, more efficient, and more capable of meeting all his company's needs.

But the reason behind some deadlines are more interesting than others. When Cleveland, TN passed a new law allowing liquor stores to operate there, our customer knew he wanted to be the first one to open up a store. He was already a residential customer of ours, so getting the ball rolling quickly was easy, as we had already built his trust through our established relationship with him. The primary focus of many businesses is the security of the storefront, but a liquor store is particularly vulnerable. The new law required ample surveillance be put into place prior to opening, so we needed to make sure that we had full coverage, with no lapses. We accomplished this with 18 Lilin cameras, a Lilin recorder, a DSC security alarm system, and PDK access control. We also did networking for the business, using a Ubiquiti router, switch, and wireless access points. Our customer also wanted audio and video. For video, we hung a Planar TV behind the register, as well as one at the front of the store that displays the CCTV footage, so that both customers as well as employees are aware of the surveillance. The Planar TVs are great because they are designed for continuous use, which they see 6 days a week. For audio, we used a Control4 system that uses a touchscreen placed behind the register to control the music. We placed surface mount Episode speakers on the ceiling. The audio from the cable box can also be played over the speakers in case the staff wants to play audio from, say, a football game instead of streaming music. Our customer has since let us know that his system is very user-friendly, even for his most technically challenged staff members, through the use of the Control4 app on both the touchscreen, as well as on his phone. You never want the tech that you install to be a challenge for those who use it everyday. We're happy we got to create a system for them that only enhances their work experience.

We had previously done a system at Stir, the sister restaurant just up the street, so we knew the aesthetic was going to be hip, with an industrial bent. The origin story of the building itself is quite interesting. The restaurant is located at the former site of Estate of Confusion, which was a salvage yard, and many of the metal elements and hints of that history remain. The primary focus of the restaurant was to be on the expansive outdoor seating area, so we knew right away we needed to provide enough speakers so there would be no lapses in coverage. We chose Tannoy surface mount indoor/outdoor speakers throughout. Because of the exposed beams and inherent peculiarities of the interior space, we had to add acoustic treatments to cut down on reverberation and echo. Turbo Sound subwoofers were used inside and FTB subwoofers were used outside, as well as Episode landscape speakers. Labgruppen amplifiers rounded out the extensive audio setup. As far as video was concerned, there were two interior spaces that required televisions, and for those spaces we chose 65” and 75” Sonys. The televisions placed in the outdoor setting are under cover, so we went with 85” Sonys. As for networking, a Ubiquiti router, switch and WAPs were installed. Wiring conduit was run to the pump house, which is the ancillary indoor space across the courtyard from the main eatery. We used a Crestron control system, for which we wrote a customized interface to be able use an iPad to control televisions and music from anywhere on the property. We used a Crestron DSP to adjust the audio characteristics of each zone. Just Add Power video distribution was used to get video content to the displays. One added feature was the request of a presentation system, and for that we went with wePresent. In the end our customer was pleased with the extensive coverage of the audio, and the way the project turned out on the whole.

The audio had to be high quality, but not loud. Having experience in designing and installing high quality audio systems for restaurants, we assured the team we would be able to meet their expectations. However, there were challenges with the space. First, the ceilings are high and aesthetic concerns prevented us from flying the speakers too low. The space also has many hard surfaces that are reflective. We opted for 24 pendant speakers with 120 degree dispersion flown low as possible and JBL Subwoofers. The combination gives full clean sound at any location in the restaurant, while not being overpowering and allowing normal conversation. Disciplines: Audio, Video, Networking ### [Large Divisible Community Room](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/large-divisible-community-room) Chattanooga, TN · Commercial project Multipurpose room with zoned AV for events This large multipurpose room needed updates to run more efficiently and effectively, so we did several upgrades that made a huge impact in the way the room functioned. Since the room is very large and can be divided into two separate rooms that are able to function independently, some of the updates needed to be duplicated. We installed two new A/V lecterns in both the "A" and "B" sides of the room. Each side also got a new 22" Crestron control monitor with touch screen capabilities in each podium that can serve as both a control panel, as well as a computer monitor. We also replaced the room's NEC projectors with two new WUXGA 1080P laser projectors, and we replaced the older projection screens with two new 137" 16:10 screens that we were able to install in the existing screen cases. In the back of the room, we hung two 60" TVs and new digital A/V routing equipment to minimize the floor box-to-podium connections and to support these additional displays. We also put in a new 3-Series Crestron control processor, as well as a new Biamp DSP that we programmed to accommodate the existing microphones and overhead audio requirements of the room. This equipment covered the entire area and didn't need to be duplicated. Our client ended up with improved equipment that produced better audio, video, and control, and not one, but two spaces with enhanced features and functionality.

Over roughly a thousand hours of labor, we built a system that lets every room run the same way, from the largest board meeting to a two-person call. The centerpiece is Conference 703, three rooms that combine into one. It uses a Crestron 1 Beyond intelligent camera system, with an automated framing camera and two PTZ cameras that follow whoever is speaking, four Shure MXA920 ceiling array microphones, a Crestron Flex Microsoft Teams system, two Sony laser projectors on Da-Lite screens, and Shure wireless microphones. When the walls are open the three systems behave as one; when they close, each room is independent. The standard conference rooms each carry a Sony commercial display, 75 or 85 inches by room size, a Yealink Teams video bar with expansion microphones, and a Crestron scheduling panel at the door that shows availability and books the room on the spot. Video moves over Just Add Power AV-over-IP, so any source can appear in any room or lounge. The work lounge has an 85-inch display and three 55-inch screens; the other lounges and the coffee bar carry their own displays, and the service bar has a Crestron touch panel. At the head end, a Crestron CP4 processor, three DMPS3 switchers, Biamp Tesira DSPs, an Ashly eight-channel amplifier, an Autonomic music server, three Lutron HomeWorks lighting processors, Netgear AV switches, and IP-controlled power conditioning fill the rack. Sound masking keeps conversations private in the open areas. The firm's staff received three training sessions, and a technician was on site to test the system before the first event.

Due to this, the project involved doing many of the same upgrades and enhancements four times over so that each space had equal and independent functionality. Each room got a new NEC laser projector with power conditioning, as well as new projection screens with quiet drive motors. New 22" Crestron touch screens were placed at each podium, and each podium received new digital connections, with inputs including room PC, laptop, and Blu-Ray player. We eliminated the need for many of the existing connections to the podium with the new wiring, making everything cleaner and more user-friendly. Other upgraded equipment included four new Blu-Ray players, four new handheld microphones, four new lapel microphones, and a new amplifier in each room to power the existing speakers. We added occupancy sensing to each entrance so that the entire room doesn't "wake up" when unnecessary, saving energy. In some instances, the overall space needed some enhancements that one or two devices could handle and still provide coverage for the entire space. We added a new Crestron control processor, a new uninterrupted power supply, new power conditioning, and two new digital signal processors with integrated audio conferencing. The resulting space is one that can work as one large training room, or one that can be seamlessly divided into four separate training spaces.

To achieve these goals, we installed a Sonos surround sound system that utilized in-ceiling speakers that we cut in, a playbar that we installed under the TV that hangs over the fireplace, and a subwoofer. To control the three spaces downstairs that encompass this living area, including the bar, game room, and living room, we used the same Control4 system that is in place throughout the whole house. We integrated the TVs, the audio, the lighting, and the thermostat to all be run by Control4 through the use of SR260 handheld remote controls. The customer also had devices that they provided that we integrated, such as AppleTVs and Blu-Ray players. Everything works together in Control4 so that one remote manages all the functions of the rooms. This area is a good example of a project in which the client provides some equipment, and we supply the rest. We never replace equipment when it is not necessary-only when it is called for. If outdated equipment slows the overall performance of the home, we will always recommend upgrades, but we are happy to work with clients and their existing tech when possible. Here it worked seamlessly.

We were able to utilize much of the customer's existing equipment and add some devices to bring them up to date with the latest in video conferencing. We kept the customer's Sony TVs, as they would continue to serve as the room's primary viewing displays. We also kept the soundbars under the TVs to continue to provide audio to the room. The wireless presentation device was also retained, as it didn't need upgrading in order to present wirelessly. The equipment we brought in included a video conferencing codec, along with a camera placed at the front of the room, which, together allowed users to participate in video conferencing sessions. The interface on the touchscreen was then modified to allow users to place and control conference calls directly from the touchscreen. Users simply have to select which source they want to view on the TVs. During presentations, the TVs can display the same content, but a user can also choose from the touchscreen to display different content on each screen. Adjacent to the tabletop touchscreen, we replaced the table box with a larger one that features a gravity-fed retractable HDMI cable, USB-C cable, USB charging ports, power, and data. We added a second table box at the opposite end of the table to provide power and USB charging ports. Lastly, we placed an occupancy sensor inside the room to improve energy efficiency, detecting when the room is empty, and turning off accordingly.

In this case, the customer wanted a very large display screen, but the only logical place for it to reside would be in front of a set of beautiful windows, obscuring the stained glass. The solution was to install the massive 98" screen on a heavy-duty lift mount. To achieve this and hide the screen completely when it wasn't in use, we made sure to align the top of the lift level with the top of the wood-paneled half wall you see in the photos. When the mount is lifted, the TV sits 50" above the top of the half wall. A wooden base was constructed and attached to the wall to support both the lift and the TV. We added power conditioning to the setup to provide a layer of protection against any potential electrical damage. To control the lift, we installed a two-button controller in the sound booth. Because the TV is partially obscured unless fully lifted, there are only two control options: completely lowered or completely lifted. As far as controlling the TV itself, we used an IR repeater kit because the sound booth is far from the actual TV, so this allowed the factory remote to be used over the extended distance. The end result was a sanctuary that maintained its beauty, while at the same time allowed for the introduction of a few needed technical upgrades.

It allows the audio to come through clearly while being fully concealed from view. We paired the screen with a Sony 4K 3D projector. We then placed a Sony Blu-Ray Player and Roku in the theater's equipment rack to be dedicated sources exclusive to the theater space. For audio, we delivered a 7.2.4 surround sound system through 7 speakers around the perimeter of the theater, 2 subwoofers, and 4 Atmos overhead speakers. To light the theater, we placed two 6-button configurable keypad dimmers. Between the two keypads, there are 12 custom control buttons that can be configured and reconfigured based on the client's desired functionality. There is a separate closet that houses the customer's media collection. This is where we placed the equipment rack that holds the theater A/V equipment. In addition, an IP-controlled power conditioner was placed in the rack to provide a layer of protection against electrical damage, and it allows devices in the theater to be power cycled remotely. Everything in this project adhered to a very elegant aesthetic, but all of the details behind the scenes ensured streamlined, easy functionality.

This spacious and impressive home needed audio/video, automation, security, intercom, and networking. We also did the home's theater, which is featured in the portfolio titled, "Elegant Tiered Theater." The home needed whole-home audio and video. For the audio, we used Sonos products throughout, paired with some Episode and Monitor in-ceiling and in-wall speakers at times. Content and volume produced by all the speakers are controlled by the Sonos app, that can be installed on a phone, tablet, or computer. Each Sonos "zone" can be played independently or grouped with other zones as desired. For video, we installed a network-based 4K HDMI video distribution system to distribute six video sources to six separate video zones. The six sources include two cable boxes, a Blu-Ray player, security cameras, a Roku streaming device with built-in services such as Netflix, and the Control4 user interface. We installed Sony TVs throughout the home, ranging in size from 49" up to 75." All of the TVs are controlled with Control4 remote controls. We added power conditioning behind all of the TVs to provide a layer of protection against electrical damage for both the TVS and Sonos Playbars. For security, we installed a large sysyem that included door contacts, glass break sensors, motion sensors, keypads, sirens, and a cell backup. The alarm system was then tied to the smoke detectors installed by an electrician. It can be controlled via the Control4 app, so it can be armed and disarmed remotely. For networking, a full gigabit router and 48-port switch was installed in the equipment rack to provide a hardwired connection for all network equipment, home run network lines, and wireless access points. The size of the home required four hardwired connections, as well as eleven indoor WAPs, and three outdoor WAPs to provide stable coverage throughout the property. Surveillance outside a large home seems obvious, but cameras inside the home can be incredibly practical, not just as a security feature, but also as a helpful addition for things like checking in on children in a playroom while making dinner in the kitchen or checking in on a room in your home while you are away. Here we installed an IP surveillance system that included a 16-camera NVR, five indoor cameras, four cameras at the pool house, and four cameras on the exterior of the house. To automate the home, we installed a large Control4 processor. An additional access point was installed to allow for smooth communication between the remotes that are spread out across six rooms and the processor. The automation system controls video and sources in all rooms attached to the video distribution system. Control4 is designed so that if the homeowner wishes to integrate other functions, such as lighting, locks, or the thermostats, it is easy to do, as we were able to integrate the doorbell and alert the Control4 system when it chimes, sending a notification to the homeowner's phone. We also installed an intercom system in eight of the rooms for easy inter-room communication, operated by a small keypad and speaker in each room. With so much equipment needed for a project of this scope, we placed all of the equipment in a new steel rack on castors for easy maneuverability. This was placed in a mechanical room across from the home theater. We placed IP controlled battery backup and power conditioners in the rack, which allow us to monitor the power state remotely without needing to physically be present at the rack. The end result of this project was a home that retained its aesthetic beauty but at the same time showcases an impressive array of technological advances and smart features.

This room needed to run seamlessly during proceedings. For this upgrade, our job was to refresh the cameras, upgrade presentation capabilities, add microphones, install a control system, and bring the room up to sound-related ADA compliance. We started by replacing an older projector with a new HD laser projector and calibrated the image size to fit the room's existing motorized screen. Three new cameras were installed for both recording and broadcasting. These were placed in the front and the rear of the room to capture the entire space. In the very back of the room, the full HD camera has pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities and navigation control. Two additional full HD digital zoom cameras capture the overall room, as well as the presenter at the podium. New wired tabletop microphones were installed at the dais, and we added three new wireless handheld microphones; one for the podium, ad two floating mics for participants. We added a wireless presentation device that allows presenters to connect their laptops from anywhere in the room. The commission already had a Denon recorder that is very good for their purposes, so we kept it in place and integrated it with the new Crestron control system. This new system is more intuitive and easier to use. A 10" tabletop touch panel was installed at the moderator desk for complete control over room source, volume, and camera control. Finally, for ADA compliance, we installed an induction loop system around the perimeter of the room for hearing assistance. This system is compatible natively with T-coil style hearing aids. It also comes with one receiver for those without compatible hearing devices, with the ability to add additional receivers as needed. ADA-compliant floor coverings were also added anywhere wiring needed to be routed along the floor. The commission now has the latest tech to keep them running smoothly, without disruption.

By installing a video wall, we created a screen that has 4K resolution, with a 110" viewable image size. We achieved this through the use of 4 55" ultra-thin bezel monitors and programmed them for content to be stretched across all four screens. We then added a 4K-cable HDMI switcher to the equipment cabinet to provide audio and video switching from the new table HDMI input or the new WePresent. This switcher was connected to the new amplifier and new speakers to amplify audio and control volume for the room. The difference in this project and the customer's other boardroom is that, as mentioned above, this room needed new speakers, as well as new microphones. We installed two high-quality in-ceiling speakers in the drop ceiling and connected them to a new, more powerful amplifier to provide audio for the space. For the microphones, we added two table-mounted digital microphones, aimed and configured to provide high-quality room audio "pick-up." These were configured and connected to a digital sound processor with built-in teleconferencing and echo cancellation. We also went ahead a ran additional wiring, should the customer need more microphones in the future. A Crestron control system was installed to work behind the scenes and control all the equipment, making the room easy to use. To actually run the room, we placed a 10" touchscreen on the table with a custom interface for controlling the functions of the room. We added a 6" round table box to the table to provide a local HDMI connection to the video system. This cable was paired with a spring-loaded retractor that allows the cable to recess into the box when not in use, for a tidier look on the tabletop. The tabletop box also has 3 AC power outlets for added convenience if needed. Lastly in this space, we installed a battery backup in the equipment cabinet to provide protection against power outages or flickers.

In the lobby, we didn't need to install any new equipment, but instead used the existing TV and connected it to a digital signage player that the customer supplied. We also reconfigured the existing touchscreen to display the company logo. In the conference room, the centerpiece of the project was the 2 X 3 video wall that we installed. This consisted of 6 55" Narrow-Bezel monitors. The benefit of using multiple displays instead of just one large screen is that this setup allows for more collaboration. All of the screens can be viewed as one single, continuous image, but they can also be viewed in a collaboration layout, where each screen can use its own source to display something unique to that monitor. The screens don't have bezels around each monitor, but rather one large bezel around the entire perimeter to make the screen seamless when one single image is displayed. We installed a wireless presentation system to allow users the ability to present to the displays wirelessly. We then installed a video conferencing codec, along with a camera above the video wall, to allow those physically in the room the ability to participate in video conferencing sessions. We modified the interface on the touchscreen to afford users the ability to place and control conference calls from the touchscreen. We also added an occupancy sensor to the room that detects when the room is active and turns on lights and devices accordingly. Conversely, the room turns off when the room is empty. Now, as noted in the lobby portion, many times on an upgrade, we can use some of the customer's existing equipment, as long as we are able to integrate it with the new equipment we are bringing in. Here, we were able to keep the existing lighting system, audio processor, tabletop microphones, and equipment rack. Lastly, we put in a new tablebox at the head of the table, which features gravity-fed retractable HDMI and USB-C cables, USB charging ports, power, and data. We also modified two of the existing side tabletop boxes to add mechanically retractable HDMI and USB-C cables for users to be able to connect and present to the video wall easily. The end result was a clean, easy to use, and more up-to-date conference room, with an emphasis on connectivity.

In addition, the customer wanted a scheduling touch panel so that the room can be reserved. Finally, it was a big priority to keep the room as free from clutter as possible, so we made some additions and accommodations that allowed all wiring to be hidden and equipment off the tables. The two screens that are the main focal point of the room are each 86" commercial-rated displays. We put sliding equipment shelves behind the TV mounts to allow easy access to the equipment that we placed behind the screens. To further ensure that the equipment and wiring was concealed, we added a 6" connectivity box with electrical outlets and USB charging outlets. We also added a retractable HDMI cable to provide quick access for laptop connections, and a USB cable to connect the Lenovo touchscreen that runs the Teams software. Instead of having microphones that sit tabletop, we placed a Shure in-ceiling microphone array in the center of the room for good audio pickup. A Microsoft Teams-certified Shure DSP along with an audio amplifier was installed to properly tune the room's audio characteristics and power the existing in-ceiling speakers. Finally, we installed a 10" in-wall scheduling touch panel with an integrated ceiling indicator to notify users of upcoming scheduling, as well as provide a user-friendly interface for scheduling walk-up meetings. An occupancy sensor was placed to detect room movement and report to the touch panel to reflect the status change.

For the TVs, the customer had LGs mounted around the interior of the clubhouse but wanted to replace those with newer, 4K Ultra HD Smart TVs. For the 43", we went with a Sony LED 4K UltraHD HDR Smart TV, and for the 55" and 65" we chose 4K UHD Bravia models. We then paired these TVs to the Control4 automation and control system that was already running the clubhouse. For the surveillance upgrade to the property, we added six high-definition cameras both inside and around the exterior of the clubhouse and connected them to a 16-camera DVR with 3 TBs of recording space. We then connected the DVR, power supply, and battery backup in the office closet. The camera DVR is available to view on a computer or mobile device.

We also updated much of the audio and video equipment and integrated more functions of the house, like lighting. For updates to the home's automation, we removed the older processors and replaced them with new Control4 EA-3 and EA-5 processors. These newer devices have built-in streaming services like Pandora and Rhapsody, among others. We also replaced an older control touchscreen with a new 10" Control4 in-wall, flush-mounted touchscreen, with enhanced features like video intercom capabilities. We also installed a new Control4 door station. The kitchen video intercom can easily communicate with the person at the front door station. In addition, at the garage entry doors, we replaced the existing deadbolts with touchscreen deadbolts. We added whole home audio through the use of a Sonos sound system. We installed a Sonos Connect streaming media player and tied that to Sonos speakers throughout the home. Not pictured is the outdoor audio that we accomplished through landscape speakers installed around the hot tub that got connected to the new Control4 system. For TVs, we replaced the ones in the living area and the guest bedroom with 4K UHD Sony Bravia TVs. We then replaced the video distribution system with a new Control4 HDMI distribution system that is an 8x8 video matrix, which allows for up to 8 TVs and 8 sources on the system at one time. Finally, for the home's lighting, we replaced the existing non-LED compatible dimmers with LED-compatible Control4 dimmers and connected them to the Control4 automation system. Many of the changes we made to upgrade this home's performance included simple swaps and involved minimal disruption to allow the home to perform more effectively and efficiently.

We fitted out three conference rooms and the reception area. Conference 103, the boardroom, is built around a 2x2 video wall of four 55-inch NEC ultra-thin-bezel displays. Two table boxes provide HDMI inputs, a Kramer VIA device handles wireless presentation, and the company's micro PC, a streaming player, and the table inputs can be sent to any screen or stretched across the whole wall. Four Biamp Parlé ceiling microphones, a Biamp DSP and amplifier, six ceiling speakers, and an AVer PTZ camera with five programmed presets serve video calls on whatever platform the meeting uses. A Kramer touchscreen on the table controls the room, a Crestron scheduling panel with a light bar and occupancy sensor sits outside the door, three lighting scenes and the window shades are on the touchscreen, and a digital signage player shows the company's logo and videos when the room is idle. Conference 211 has an 86-inch NEC commercial display, and Conference 217 has two; both follow the same pattern with two ceiling microphones, four speakers, a PTZ camera, a Kramer table touchscreen, and a Crestron scheduling panel, plus Yealink Teams room panels. Sliding component shelves behind the displays keep the electronics accessible. Every room's electronics can be rebooted from a phone or PC app by the customer or by our support team, and the equipment sits in the company's IT closet on a Netgear AV switch, which is how an electrical contractor's office should be wired: cleanly, and by people who will be back to service it.

The attraction asked us to add sound, video, and simple control that any event host could operate, and to tie the room into the building's existing paging system so announcements still reach guests. Audio is distributed through sixteen Crestron Saros pendant speakers hung across the ceiling, chosen after the original in-ceiling design proved a poor match for the open ceiling, and driven by Crown amplifiers with a Biamp TesiraForte DSP that balances the room and mixes in the paging feed from the existing Q-SYS system. A wireless microphone system with a handheld and a lavalier serves toasts and presentations. For video, a 113-inch screen drops from a recess in the ceiling in front of a 5,300-lumen Sony laser projector, with the projector's audio routed into the DSP so a slideshow or a video plays through the overhead speakers. An HDMI wall plate on the column nearest the screen takes a laptop or any other device, and an Extron control keypad above it handles projector power, screen up and down, and volume. The electronics sit in a small slide-out rack inside a cabinet at the back of the room with its own power conditioning, invisible to guests and easy for staff to reach.

At the front of the room is a 4x4 video wall of sixteen NEC 55-inch ultra-thin-bezel, 700-nit displays, a single 220-inch diagonal image. Two 85-inch Sony commercial displays above the main entrance mirror the wall or show separate content for the far end of the table. Ten Biamp Parlé beamforming table microphones, a Biamp Tesira DSP with teleconferencing, and new ceiling speakers handle the audio, and because the room's layout does not allow voice reinforcement through the ceiling, a Williams AV infrared hearing-assist system with twelve rechargeable receivers carries every meeting's audio privately to anyone who needs it, meeting ADA requirements at the same time. Presenters can connect wirelessly through the city's Airtame system, plug in at the table through a new floor box with HDMI and USB, or use the dedicated PC in the rack; the USB connection lets a laptop join any video-conference platform using the room's cameras and microphones. For broadcasts, a Marshall PTZ camera at the front covers the table and a second at the rear frames a speaker standing in front of the wall, with a Vaddio production system and an Extron recorder that stream to the platform of the city's choice and record locally. A static image generator gives the wall a clean backdrop during addresses, a wireless lapel microphone serves the speaker, and SDI and XLR connections at the rack and the wall let local television stations take a feed. A Crestron control system with a 10-inch in-wall touchscreen runs it all through five presets: wireless, table, and PC presentation, and front and rear broadcast. Room power, recording, streaming, and volume stay one touch away on every page. The equipment lives in a new floor-standing rack with IP-controlled power conditioning, and the city's staff received five hours of on-site training.

In the main sanctuary, ten JBL in-ceiling speakers distribute sound evenly to every seat, a Shure gooseneck microphone on the bimah carries the service, and an Audix wireless system with a headset and a handheld microphone, on external antennas, serves the rest. A volume control at the rear of the room keeps the adjustments simple. The social hall uses two JBL CBT column speakers on the front wall, which project sound the length of the room without harshness, plus its own pair of wireless microphones, two volume controls, and a very large owner-supplied television and soundbar mounted on a corrugated metal wall with additional bracing. A single ceiling speaker and a volume control at the coffee bar cover the lobby. Everything is mixed by a Biamp TesiraForte DSP that tunes each room separately, with a simple PC and tablet interface for basic adjustments, and driven by a Crown four-channel amplifier in a fully enclosed, fan-cooled 27U rack. A contact from the fire alarm system mutes the audio in an emergency. The network is a Ubiquiti gateway, a 48-port high-power PoE switch, eight Wi-Fi 6 access points, five hardwired data locations, and a 10-gigabit feed from the building's exterior to the equipment closet. Cabling was run for fourteen bullet cameras and four access-controlled exterior doors so those systems could follow under a separate security scope.

We built the room around a 4x2 video wall of eight NEC 55-inch ultra-narrow-bezel displays mounted high on the wall above the desks, with a Salamander Designs low-profile credenza beneath it holding all of the equipment. Sources are distributed over a Kramer AV-over-IP system with eight encoders and nine decoders: six desk positions, each mirroring the operator's right-hand monitor onto the wall, the video management server, and a cable box. From a 10-inch Kramer touch panel on the wall, an operator sends any source to any single display or recalls a preset that groups displays into a larger image. The system was designed with preset layouts rather than drag-and-drop, which keeps it fast and predictable during an incident. The wall's audio was tied into the room's existing amplifier and ceiling speakers, selected and controlled from the same touch panel, and a Netgear AV switch carries the video traffic on its own network. Cabling was run in plenum-rated CAT6 to keep the installation compliant in the open office ceiling.

With 20 seats, and factoring in the overall length of the room, an 86" commercial display at each end was necessary in order for all attendees to comfortably see what is on screen. Due to the size of the screens and the height of the table, we mounted them on tilt mounts so they could tilt downward for easier viewing. In order to have the audio reach the entire room, we placed 4 in-ceiling speakers and a powerful amplifier to fill the room with adequate and even sound. The conference table already had table boxes, so we placed 6 HDMI connections inside those boxes to allow users to connect portable devices to the video system. We also added three universal HDMI connection rings to accommodate almost any possible device connection. An HDMI switching system was placed to automatically switch to the connected HDMI device for ease of use. We worked with the customer-supplied video conferencing equipment. They provided the Cisco Webex System, which we integrated into the overall system by mounting the Cisco camera to the wall above the front monitor, then installed the Cisco 10" tabletop touchscreen and table microphones. We integrated everything so that all of the equipment that they provided would work seamlessly with everything we supplied.

In this hospital CEO boardroom, we installed a Crestron Flex Tabletop Conference System that is designed for use with Zoom Rooms™ software. It's a great solution for medium-sized conference rooms. The 7" touchscreen is intuitive and easy to use and has an integrated speakerphone with full-duplex wideband audio for clear sound on conference calls. We mounted the collaboration camera above the TV to provide a view of the entire conference table during calls. We utilized the existing table box opening and fed the cabling neatly through in order to keep the wiring out of sight. For optimal functionality, we programmed the TV to automatically turn on when the tabletop controller is touched and active. We also programmed the TV to turn off when the system has been inactive for a predetermined period of time, making the room more energy efficient.

This administration conference room in a local hospital needed updating, so we provided them with the same technology that we had placed in their larger CEO boardroom, keeping all of the equipment consistent, therefore easier to use. Here we installed the Crestron Flex Tabletop Conference System that is designed for use with Zoom Rooms™ software. It comes with a user-friendly 7" tabletop touchscreen, integrated speakerphone with full-duplex wideband audio, as well as a collaboration camera, which we placed above the existing TV. To keep everything tidy, we fed all of the cabling through the tabletop box, and to optimize energy efficiency, we programmed the TV to automatically turn on when the touchscreen is touched and active, and for the TV to turn off when the system has been idle for a predetermined length of time.

This conversion meant that all of the remotes in the home would be upgraded to the sleek, new Control4 Neeo remotes, including the one in the theater. The projection screen didn't need replacing, but we upgraded the projector to a Sony HD 4K Projector. As part of the home upgrade, we added a Control4 EA-5 Entertainment and Automation Controller, which resulted in better and faster performance in the theater. We also placed a new Sony 4K AV Receiver, and all of these new elements combined made the theater run much more smoothly.

The first area you encounter is the lobby/lounge area. There we mounted two 55" Sony TVs and connected them to the TV feed as well as a Blu-Ray player. We mounted a Control4 touch panel to the wall to control the audio and video to this area. The second space is dedicated to training and a walking track. Here we ceiling-mounted 6 55" Sony TVs and mounted another Control4 touch panel to the wall in a central location. There are also 2 multi-purpose rooms. In each room, we installed a TV, and connected them to the video feeds as we did in the other areas. The audio feeds were connected to an audio matrix switch that also provides networked radio and music sources. A wireless microphone was installed in each room and connected to a microphone mixer that allows it to be used along with the audio source playing. The matrix switch was connected to the overhead speakers. These rooms have both a wall-mounted touch panel, as well as hand-held remote controls. The next area is the employee fitness room, where we installed 8 55" TVs and again connected an audio matrix switch to the overhead speakers. Another wall-mounted touch panel was installed to control the A/V. A Control4 automation system was utilized to control all of the TVs and audio/video sources. A router and network switch were installed for the Control4 network connections. A 38-channel audio matrix switch with DSP control was installed and connected to the audio source equipment and overhead speaker system. As for the speaker system itself, we installed speakers in 5 different zones. We utilized mostly pendant speakers, with a few in-ceiling speakers where those were better suited to the room. Each zone has its own volume control. For the entire sound system, we installed two Episode commercial amplifier-mixers.

The gym was also being used to record personal fitness training videos for clients. The acoustics were less than ideal for this purpose, and there was a tremendous amount of echo that was interfering with recording these videos. To solve this problem, we ordered custom flat foam acoustical ceiling panels. The ones we chose had a glue-on application style and were ideal for rooms that have drywall or concrete ceilings. These foam squares are lightweight, fire-rated melamine foam, and they softened the echo greatly as well as improved the overall acoustics of the room. As you can tell from the pictures, we ordered panels that would blend in with the ceiling and not detract from the look of the gym. The end result was a space with far less echo, making the gym much more pleasant and user-friendly. Equipment: Custom Flat Foam 2'x2'x2" Acoustic Panels (60 Total) ### [Top Floor Executive Boardroom](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/top-floor-executive-boardroom) Chattanooga, TN · Commercial project Featuring Automation and Projection For this boardroom technology upgrade, the client wanted greater functionality and ease of use, but they also wanted to maintain a sleek aesthetic, without too much in the way of visible equipment. Where we might typically mount a projector on the ceiling mid-room, here we used a projector that is designed to go behind the screen itself. To utilize a few of the components the customer already had, we installed a new 113" roller screen into the existing screen casing, and we put in a new quiet drive motor to go along with it. To further keep the conference room free from clutter, we added two new table inputs with device adaptors. These new laptop connectors are retractable when not in use for a clean appearance. The only devices that live on the conference table are the new 10" touchscreen control panel and two new tabletop boundary microphones for teleconferencing, which are integrated with the touchscreen to use for conference calls. For better audio in the room, we installed a new 70 Volt amplifier and connected it to the existing in-ceiling speakers. Since conference rooms see intermittent use, we placed an occupancy sensor on the ceiling that controls the lights and turns them off when the room is vacant. To conceal all of the necessary equipment, we installed a new cabinet rack with a new UPS power conditioner. The rack itself slides out to make servicing easier. All of the upgrades reflected the customer's desire to keep a clean, minimalist look to the space.

The scope of the project included a new projection system, audio upgrades, a new equipment rack, and occupancy detection to make the room more energy efficient. The biggest visible impact came from the new projection system. We were able to keep the client's existing ceiling projector lift to house the new Epson laser projector. We installed new wiring to the projector and a new HDMI receiver was added to provide video from the equipment closet. We were also able to reuse the customer's screen casing, so we put the new replacement shade that has a better 16:10 aspect ratio, into that casing and installed a new motor. We installed new HDMI transmitters at the table to replace the existing VGA connections. BYOD, or "bring your own device" cables were added at the table to provide necessary adaptors for instances where someone might need to say, present from a laptop or other personal device. The adaptors include HDMI, mini DP, display port, and USB-C. A new 10" touchscreen was placed tabletop for audio and video control. We used the existing in-ceiling speakers in the room, as these didn't need an upgrade at this time. We did, however, replace the amplifier with a new 70V amp, and connected that to the speakers. For many jobs, including this one, we needed to install a new equipment rack, which we built and tested at the office to minimize onsite time. The final goal was to make the room more energy efficient. Upgrading to newer, better electronic equipment certainly helps achieve that, but we also added an occupancy sensor to detect room vacancy. When the room is vacant for a certain amount of time, the room, including the projector, shuts down to save power usage and reduce the strain on all of the electronic equipment.

The result is a venue where the staff change channels and music from wall-mounted touch screens and the guests never see a piece of equipment. The bar is the centerpiece: three 75-inch commercial Sony displays high on the entry wall on tilt mounts, two 65-inch displays on articulating mounts in the corner opposite, six JBL in-ceiling speakers in the soffit, and a Sonos Port for streaming music. A 7-inch Crestron touch screen controls channel selection on every television and which audio plays in the bar and on the bar patio, where eight more JBL in-ceiling speakers and their own Sonos Port keep the outdoor seating covered. Axis cameras watch the patio. The living room got its eight on-wall speakers reinstalled in their original locations with a touch screen on the back wall for volume and music. The private dining room was built to function like the club's ballroom: six JBL in-ceiling speakers and a subwoofer, a wireless microphone system with a handheld and a lavalier, a Bluetooth pairing button so a member can play from a phone, an input for a future television, and a Biamp Tesira DSP mixing it all, controlled from a 7-inch wall panel. Four more speakers cover the hallway and nook, and the existing foyer speakers were tied into the main hallway feed. All of it lands in a new, larger rack in the coat closet, where the old hallway rack was consolidated: a Crown eight-channel amplifier, a Crestron CP4 processor, video distribution over IP, power conditioning, a UPS, and a fiber link back to the club's main network closet. Point-of-sale cabling and three new wireless access point locations were run at the same time.

The original wall of eighteen monitors had reached its limit, so we replaced it with a 27-display Planar wall, three rows of nine 55-inch monitors, with a trim kit that finishes it as a single surface across the front of the room. Video processing is a Planar Matrix G3 system with new power supplies and cabling, mounted in the existing closet rack. It takes the six analyst workstations, through the center's existing Extron converters, and three cable boxes, and places any of them anywhere on the wall at any size. A Planar representative led the commissioning: calibrating every source input, aligning the seams and images, matching color and brightness across all 27 displays, and saving up to ten layout presets so the team can change the whole wall with one selection. The analyst desks were moved to new positions in front of the wall, and their power and data were run under ADA-compliant floor covering so the room stays accessible with no exposed cabling. The result is a wall that reads as one enormous map or a grid of dozens of feeds, depending on what the shift needs to see.

This project put music and television in every one of them, all playable from the same Sonos app, with the equipment tucked away in a basement mechanical room and a dock cabinet. The porches came first: the upper porch, the lower porch, the lower walkway, and the guest porch each got a pair of moisture-rated recessed speakers with their own Sonos Amp in the equipment closet, so each area is its own zone. On the grill porch, the homeowner's television went on a tilt mount beneath the vaulted wood ceiling with a Sonos Arc soundbar under it. At the pool, a Sonos Port feeds a high-powered amplifier driving two James Loudspeaker planter speakers that disappear into the landscaping, with surge suppression on the outdoor audio lines. The fire pit has its own Port, four landscape speakers, and an 8-inch buried landscape subwoofer. Down on the dock, a television on an articulating mount, a Port, and an amplifier in the dock cabinet drive two recessed speakers above the boat slips and an on-wall stereo speaker on the sun deck column, with power conditioning and a vent fan in the cabinet to keep the electronics cool. The head end is a compact rack in the basement with IP-based power conditioning, so both the homeowner and our Smart Care team can reboot any piece of the system remotely without a trip to the lake.

We installed 22" monitors on articulating mounts in each examination room that allow the doctor and techs the ability to forgo an older style eye chart, and instead use a digital version that makes it easier for both the doctor to determine the patient's vision. The doctor can easily increase or decrease the size of the image on the screen remotely, allowing for more accurate results. We also installed a 46" TV in the waiting area for patients to watch as they await their appointments. The practice also needed security cameras for the lobby, back office, and front desk areas. We used Speco dome cameras with intensifier technology and verifocal lenses, and we installed a Speco 1 TB 4-Channel camera DVR to record the captured video. For networking, we went with a Linksys RVS4000 gigabit security router, and we added a Cisco 8-Port PoE switch. The practice also needed a speaker system, so we added six 70V speakers throughout the ceiling, and we then connected those to a Speco 30Watt amplifier. All of the necessary equipment was housed centrally in a custom equipment rack located in one of the office's closets, keeping everything together for easy servicing, and keeping all equipment out of view from the staff and patients.

Working under a long-standing master services agreement with the client, we upgraded the room end to end while keeping the pieces that still worked. The old 113-inch screen came out and a 123-inch recessed electric screen went in, paired with a 6,000-lumen NEC laser projector on new mounting hardware. The two existing televisions on the side walls stayed, and now always show whatever is on the projector, so overflow seating never misses a slide. At the moderator desk, a Crestron transmitter with a four-input HDMI switch takes the room computer and any visitor's laptop, with a BYOD adapter ring so nobody hunts for a cable. A Crestron 4K DMPS presentation switcher routes video and audio from the equipment rack, and a Biamp TesiraForte DSP with built-in telephone conferencing mixes the microphones. The room's old in-wall keypad was replaced with the company's standard 10-inch Crestron touch panel; power, source selection, volume, and phone dialing all happen there. Two more wireless handheld microphones were added for a total of three handhelds and one lapel, an Audix system, for panels and question-and-answer sessions. A ceiling occupancy sensor turns the electronics off when the room empties, a new amplifier drives the existing ceiling speakers, recording connections were added at the rear of the room, and power conditioning protects the rack.

Since this was an upgrade, we were able to use some of their existing equipment without having to replace everything. We used their existing rack to house the new equipment, and we placed the new processor there. We were also able to integrate the iPad they already had and use it as an interface for the control of the lighting, A/V, and shades. We then added a wireless access point to the equipment rack room to provide a dedicated network connection for the iPad. In order for everything to run properly, we needed to do some additional wiring, so we ran new plenum grade Cat6 wires from the equipment closet in the Community Room, which already had a Crestron System in place, through the drop ceiling to the boardroom's equipment rack. We connected this data line from one closet to the other to allow the two Crestron Systems to work together to properly control the lighting. This worked well, since the people who would be using the new system were already well acquainted with how to run the Crestron software, so minimal training was necessary, and they were able to get up and running quickly.

Sometimes all a client needs us to do is upgrade TVs and audio, which was the case here. We removed the older Pioneer plasma displays and hung two new NEC 65" 4K UHD Displays on fixed wall mounts. Under the new displays, we installed two new Crestron soundbars to provide enhanced audio to the room. Wiring for these new soundbars was run and connected to the DSP at the equipment rack. A few programming changes were made to accommodate the new displays, and with minimal disruption to the client, they had an easy refresh to the small conference space.

What it lacked was sound, and a way to run the room without juggling three remotes. We added both without disturbing the simulator setup. A Sonos Amp in the simulator's PC cabinet drives a single in-ceiling stereo speaker, placed between the projector and the downlight so it clears the swing path, plus a compact subwoofer beside the cabinet. Audio from the projector is fed back to the amp, so whatever plays through the projector, the simulator software or a movie, plays through the overhead speaker. The homeowner's Apple TV was installed in the cabinet with a long HDMI run to the projector through the existing conduit, which turns the bay into a theater when nobody is swinging. A small Control4 processor and an SR-260 remote put the room on the same Control4 app the rest of the house already uses. The home's wireless access point was relocated into the cabinet with a small network switch so the simulator PC, the Apple TV, the access point, and the controller are all hardwired, and a power conditioner protects everything in the cabinet.

The meeting space required a large projection system and sound. Given the depth of the room, we went with a 113" wall-mounted projection screen, coupled with an LCD laser-phosphor projector that was mounted on one of the exposed truss beams overhead. For the sound portion of the project, we went with 8 all-weather commercial series 6" surface-mount speakers in black, because aesthetically, this mirrored the black truss hardware. For controlling the room, we installed a six-button control that can be programmed to the most frequently used functions of the room. The custom buttons can be reprogrammed at any time. As you can see from the photos, the control panel was placed next to the lighting control panels so that everything in the room can be controlled from one place.

But it is deceptive. This area is an interactive help desk space that we got to help bring to life for a company. The two 86" screens are actually infrared touch displays. These screens have anti-reflective surfaces that make them useful as both signage as well as for use in presentations and meetings. The 7" control panels located next to the screens can control them, as well as control the 55" commercial display mounted from the ceiling in front of the column. Not shown is the small equipment rack installed in a nearby workroom that houses the necessary electronics and control system processor and video switching system. There is also another 7" control panel in this room for source switching and adjusting the audio levels.

Featured here is their primary training room for this location. What we provided for them was a series of laser, short throw projectors and two fixed projector screens. The screens didn't need to retract since the space is used exclusively for training purposes, and they see constant usage. We installed a wireless presentation system to allow content from laptops or other devices t be displayed wirelessly. The room divider can be utilized so these can be broken into 2 different training sessions, or the room can remain open, as shown in the pictures. When it is opened, the content from the primary training room can be shared with the second room's A/V system. When the rooms are paired, a 7" touchscreen is utilized to control both rooms. When not paired, the second room uses a wired keypad for volume control and video source selection. We placed four speakers in the ceiling to provide even audio throughout the room. The speakers are able to play the projector content audio, wireless microphone, or access streaming audio. Finally, at the back of the training room, we placed a Marshall HD PTZ Camera that has the capabilities of panning the room and zooming in, which allows the training sessions to be recorded and broadcast for those not in attendance.

For this particular project, we were working with a new restaurant that was opening in a former restaurant's space, so some of our job was working with what was already in place, and some was starting from scratch. For surveillance, we installed a 16-channel analog DVR to use with the existing security cameras and power supply. For the network, we installed a new gigabit router and gigabit network switch to provide a solid backbone for the hardwired and wireless network. Indoor and outdoor-rated wireless access points were placed to ensure sufficient coverage throughout the restaurant. We used high density models to ensure reliability regardless of crowd size. To update the audio system, we connected the existing amplifier and speakers to three new Sonos streaming music players. The restaurant already had numerous TVs, but we added a 75" Sony Bravia to a back wall. In addition to the work seen in the photos, there are, at times, things that a job requires to support the new additions we install. On this project, Party Fowl's equipment rack was too small and needed an upgrade. We replaced it with a larger rack that could house all of their corporate and Point-of-Sale networking equipment along with the satellite boxes, audio system, and security camera system. Disciplines: Audio, Video, Security, Networking Equipment: Luma Surveillance 510 Series DVR with 16-Channels and 2 TB; Sonos Port: Streaming Audio Player (3); Sony 75" Bravia 4k UHD Smart TV ### [Gorgeous Downtown Condo](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/gorgeous-downtown-condo) Chattanooga, TN · Residential project With Audio/Video Upgrades Some spaces that we enter have such a distinct character that we do our best to make choices that will disrupt that aesthetic as little as possible. In this gorgeous downtown condo, we did a few upgrades while preserving the look and feel of the condo. For instance, we installed a new 85" 8K Sony Smart TV in the Great Room, mounting it on a fixed mount to the brick wall. Under the TV, we mounted a Sonos Arc soundbar. The challenge with mounting to brick or stone is figuring out how to get the wiring back to a power source. Typically, we partner with an electrician to run conduit from the TV to the power source, and we run our wiring through that conduit. The look works well here, with the exposed brick, beams, and other industrial touches. We then placed a Sonos wireless subwoofer. By repurposing two of the ceiling speakers to a Sonos amp, we were able to create a full 5.1 surround sound system in the Great Room. A Sonos music server was installed in a small equipment rack and connected to the existing Crestron system to provide audio throughout the condo. Room selection and volume control can be used with the existing Crestron touchscreens, and music selection is done via the Sonos app on the client's mobile devices. Often, as was the case here, we can use a customer's existing equipment to make upgrades, so not every renovation or upgrade has to be a complete overhaul in order to optimize the performance of the space. Disciplines: Audio, Video, Automation, Networking Equipment: Crestron 4-Series Control System; Crestron HR-310 Handheld Remote with Backlit Buttons and infinet EX RF Wireless Technology; Sonos Arc Premium Smart Soundbar; Sonos Port: Streaming Audio Player; Sonos Wireless Subwoofer (Gen 3); Sonos Amp: Streaming Media Player with Built0In Amplifier (5); Sony 85" Class LED LCD 8K Smart TV; Ubiquiti Router, Switch, and WAPS ### [Picturesque Outdoor Oasis](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/picturesque-outdoor-oasis) Chattanooga, TN · Residential project · completed August 2022 Outdoor audio and video across pool and patio The scope of this outdoor oasis project included the pool house, the pool, the putting green, and the surrounding landscaped areas. Our job was to bring the amenities of the house to the outdoors, including A/V, lighting, security, and network. In the pool house, we installed a 75" outdoor-rated TV by Sunbrite. The outdoor rating was important because the location of the TV is technically covered, but in a totally open-air setting, making it subject to exposure to all the elements. We then added four 6" in-ceiling speakers to play both the audio from the TV as well as from streaming services. We then placed two all-weather speakers on the exterior of the pool house, pointed at the pool. To extend the network from the house to the pool, we installed a wireless access point to the pool house ceiling. Finally, we added an outdoor rated turret camera to be able to view the pool house remotely. At the pool itself, we situated 6 landscape speakers around the perimeter of the pool and at the putting green, and added a 12" direct burial subwoofer at the pool. We installed an amplifier to control all of the speakers. The speakers at the pool and putting area are all considered one "zone," and this zone can either play streaming music, or the audio from the TV, controlled by the Control4 app. The pool house is its own zone, and is also controlled via the Control4 app. To light this outdoor space, we provided 2 Lutron switches to control outlets for the landscape lighting hubs. We programmed the switches to run Control4, so the lighting, like the A/V zones, can be controlled via app, remote control, or touchscreen. Since the system is the same one that controls the house, the homeowners can turn on all functions before they even go outside, or they check on the status of the pool area without having to go outside. In addition, by having the lighting on Control4, lighting "scenes" can be programmed in advance to have lights turn on or off at certain times of day for energy efficiency and ease of use.

For the screen, we went with a NEC commercial-rated 98" display and mounted it on a fixed wall mount. Sliding equipment shelves were installed behind the screen to allow easy access to the equipment. We then installed the customer-supplied Lenovo Core Full Room Teams UC Kit and accompanying camera. We also used the existing table boxes to run two new HDMI connections to the table, as well as a USB connection. We installed two new ceiling mounted microphone pods into the ceiling panels. As you can see, this upgrade didn't require a lot of major improvements in order to make a big impact on the room. Disciplines: Audio, Video Equipment: Biamp Parle TCM-X AVB Low-Profile Ceiling Microphones (2); Biamp Meeting Room DSP with 4 Integrated PoE+ Ports; Kramer 4K60 4:2:0 HDMI & VGA Auto Switcher/Transmitter over Extended-Reach PoE over HDBaseT with Maestro Room Automation; NEC 98" Ultra High-Definition Commercial Display ### [Honey Seed Restaurant](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/honey-seed-restaurant) Chattanooga, TN · Commercial project · completed December 2022 Multi-zone audio for indoor and outdoor dining This new restaurant space needed an audio system to provide audio for two indoor dining areas, a bar area, and an outdoor patio. They also needed wiring to support their POS system that handles all transactions, and a reliable network. For audio, we utilized Sonos products. We installed two Sonos Port Wi-Fi Network Streamers. The two streamers can be grouped to play the same content but still maintain independent volume control in the different audio zones. We hung 6 pendant-style speakers in the main didning/bar area, as well as 3 in the smaller dining area near the patio. Outside we placed 3 on-wall 8" speakers on the wall/soffit corner. A 2-Channel amplifier was installed to power both the indoor and outdoor zones. To properly wire for the POS system, we ran Cat6 wire in eight locations. The wire was extended through conduit to provide network connections at the required locations. For network, a full gigabit router and 8-Port switch were installed in the equipment rack to provide hardwired connections for the audio system components and wireless access points. We used two WAPs-one near the kitchen, and one near the dining area. We also pre-wired for a third WAP location, should one need to be added in the future. Finally, due to the nature of the space, with open ceilings and exposed brick, acoustic treatments were needed to dampen sound and soften echo. To achieve this, we placed color-matched acoustic panels on the walls in between the windows and garage doors. Disciplines: Audio, Video, Networking Equipment: Episode Commercial Surface-Mount, All-Weather, 70V Series 8 in. Speakers; Episode 800 Commercial Series 70-Volt Pendant Speaker with 6" Woofer and Gripple Kit; Episode 70V IP-Enabled Amplifier, 300W x 2 Channels; Sonos Port Streaming Audio Player; Ubiquiti Unifi AC Pro Dual-Radio Access Point; Ubiquiti Wifi Router; Ubiquiti 8-Port Network Switch with POE Capability; Acoustic Treatments ### [The Toy Box](https://www.smartsysinc.com/portfolio/the-toy-box) Chattanooga, TN · Residential project · completed April 2022 Entertainment room upgrades for the ultimate playspace Some projects are just fun spaces to work in. Our client wanted some upgrades performed on his space that houses some impressive collectibles and memorabilia, but it also contains an office space, so for the entire warehouse, we added security, networking, A/V upgrades, and added integrated lighting. For security, we hardwired a system to protect 3 roll-up doors and 2 walk-in doors. Two dual-tech motion detectors were installed to protect the warehouse area, while eliminating false alarms. We integrated the security system with the Control4 automation system, allowing security to be controlled via the Control4 app. 7 bullet-style IP cameras were located around the interior and exterior of the building and paired to an 8-camera NVR with a 4TB hard drive that records 24/7. These camera feeds are also viewable via the Control4 app. For network, we installed a gigabit network router to provide high speed internet to the facility. We then added a POE-capable network switch to provide connectivity and power to multiple network-capable devices. A high-speed access point with an omnidirectional antenna was placed on the wall in between the office and warehouse to give ample coverage throughout the building. For A/V upgrades, we installed a 75" Sony Bravia 4K UHD Smart TV on a tilt mount in the office. We integrated the TV and the satellite box to be able to be controlled with a wireless Control4 remote control. In the warehouse, we mounted another 75" Sony Bravia TV. Two wall-mounted speakers were added to provide additional audio because it is such a large, open space. A combination music streamer/high-powered amplifier power these speakers. Services such as Pandora and Spotify can play through the speakers, or the satellite box audio can be played through them as well. For lighting, we installed wireless dimmers and a switch to control all of the lighting loads throughout the warehouse. A Control4 automation controller was installed to be able to wirelessly control the lighting via the Control4 App. Finally, the Control4 apps and remote controls can both control the A/V, the security, and the lighting, but we additionally installed a 10" touchscreen beside the front entrance to have a very simple, straightforward interface for controlling all of these same functions right as you are entering or leaving the "toy box."

Essentially this portion begins where that project ends, at the path to the boat dock you see here. What the customer wanted was to extend the capabilities of the house and pool area out to the dock to be able to have security, audio, and network, just like the rest of the property. To enhance the dock's security, we added cameras and a recorder to capture all angles of the dock. We used cameras with built-in heaters to make them more reliable in harsh weather conditions. The homeowners are able to view the camera feeds for all four cameras from their Control4 mobile apps, or from the touchscreens inside the home. To bring the network capabilities out to the dock, we installed a network switch with fiber to ethernet conversion to connect the dock to the existing home network. We then placed an outdoor-rated wireless access point inside the dock's utility closet to provide Wi-Fi. The customer's mobile devices connect to the dock's Wi-Fi when they are down at the dock. To bring audio to the dock, we placed two 8" all-weather in-ceiling speakers over the seating area, and we installed a Control4 streaming music amplifier to provide streaming music to the dock. The homeowner can use the mobile app to select and playback music configured to the existing Control4 system. Finally, an IP power conditioner was installed to allow for remote rebooting of the dock equipment, if needed.
