Hearing rooms and the Senate/House floors were updated with new cameras and control systems centrally controlled by a small staff in the broadcast center. Also upgraded was a the existing analog broadcast distribution and wireless display systems.The second phase of the project included upgrading the 40+ year old lighting system to LED fixtures and installing hear loop systems for the chambers, galleries and hearing rooms.

– City of Phoenix (City Council Chambers Robotic Camera/LED Lighting Design & Control) The city of Phoenix is the largest metropolis in the Southwest. Like most larger cities they broadcast their city council meetings live and on demand via the internet. A special challenge to their operation was allowing control of their board meetings from the City Channel 11 studios located a block away and across the street. The only practical way to connect the two facilities was existing city fiber runs between the facilities. EAR provided management and installation, our partner SEG provided design engineering and support for the deployment. The fiber connectivity supports almost daily production including high definition video, audio and robotic camera control. The existing lighting in the main council chambers was replaced with LED fixtures resulting in a net cost savings due to decreased energy and reduced air-conditioning usage. |
