The Innovation behind Fieldwork’s AV Installation in Orange County

Written by Craig Heiman | Feb 9, 2023 6:00:00 PM

AV Planners’ mission is to provide its clients with innovative audio, visual, and communication solutions. We resolved the need for an AV installation project in Orange County for Fieldwork, a market research company in Irvine, CA. Before AV Planner’s AV installation, FieldWork faced significant efficiency and productivity challenges with its outdated audio and video systems. 

Fieldwork is a full-service market research company that provides a wide range of research services to businesses and organizations of all sizes. They specialize in qualitative research, including focus groups and in-depth interviews, as well as quantitative research, such as surveys and data analysis. 

The AV Installation with the Bulky Problem 

The hybrid video system consisted of multiple composite distribution amplifiers and switchers cabinets. The audio system was composed of analog microphones with outboard audio preamps/processors and bulky audio amplifiers. This made it increasingly difficult for their staff to operate the systems efficiently.

To solve this problem, AV Planners was brought in to upgrade the audio and video capabilities at Fieldworks' office. AV Planners worked closely with Fieldworks to understand their specific needs and requirements regarding this AV installation. They then designed a custom solution that included a mix of new and existing equipment.

The Crisp Solution

The solution included the installation of advanced Vaddio PTZ cameras, an HD/SDI video router, and SmartView Duo monitors for Quality Control monitoring at the front desk. These state-of-the-art components ensure clear and crisp video, and they allowed multiple rooms to be viewed from various locations throughout the facility. The audio system was upgraded with a Dante audio over an IP network infrastructure, including beamforming ceiling tile mic arrays and network-connected audio amplifiers.

AV Planners also used existing volume controllers and speakers in the viewing rooms to save costs. The installation was completed on time and within budget, and Fieldworks was extremely pleased with the new system. The upgrade provided clear and crisp audio and video, allowing for more flexibility and control over their AV system. The AV installation's design/build exceeded the company's expectations and has been a valuable asset to their research operations.
