How one AV platform connects more than 1,200 endpoints, from executive briefing rooms to an immersive tunnel.
At Microsoft Experience Center One in Redmond, Washington, a presenter can adjust the lighting, lower the shades and select what to display from a single touchscreen. Elsewhere in the same facility, visitors walk through a tunnel where visuals respond to movement and a live weather feed changes both the imagery and the soundscape.
These are two very different experiences, built on the same Q-SYS platform.
Seven subsystems, one AV platform
Microsoft designed the center to show organizations what AI, data and collaboration technologies can do in practice. That meant supporting everything from executive briefings to interactive demonstrations, with spaces that could adapt as the program changed.
According to the Q-SYS case study, the project consolidated seven subsystems into a single software-based platform that brings together audio, video and control across more than 1,200 endpoints. Microsoft also standardized on Microsoft Teams Rooms across 24 spaces, from smaller briefing suites to a multipurpose room that can be divided into three.
The scale is striking. The everyday benefit is easier to picture: a presenter can prepare the room from one interface, while the technical team can use Q-SYS Reflect to troubleshoot and deploy updates remotely.
What the Q-SYS partnership brings to Logitel customers
Through our partnership with Q-SYS, Logitel can design, install and support integrated AV systems for boardrooms, training spaces, auditoriums and multipurpose venues. We start by walking through a real session with the people who will run it. What do they need to control when they walk in? What needs to change when the room is used for a different purpose? What should IT be able to manage remotely?
Those answers shape the room controls, the systems that need to work together and how the space will be supported after handover.
