The office high-rise Stadttor is located in the government district of the state capital Düsseldorf and is home to the State Chancellery, the official office of the Minister President of North Rhine-Westphalia. The building’s modern design, with its double-glazed facade, hints at the interior, which features advanced technical equipment. The energy-saving building systems are among the most technologically advanced in the world.
Now, thanks to a comprehensive technical upgrade of the conference rooms, where innovative Enova technology has taken over control for flawless meetings, this impressive office high-rise can also add AMX technology to its high-end technological features.
The State Chancellery office is responsible for coordinating all government and administrative tasks for Germany’s most populous federal state. Effective communication is key to fulfilling this role; the office must maintain constant contact with all ministries and stay informed about the implementation of political priorities across departments and subordinate administration. Despite the impressive and technologically advanced exterior of the State Chancellery office, the conference rooms offered less than optimal video and only subpar audio capabilities, which are frequently needed for press conferences and other high-profile events.
The technical connection options also posed a problem, as the analog systems were not compatible with modern laptops and their digital outputs. Faced with this situation, the media technology managers of the State Chancellery turned to the leading system integration company, Datavision Deutschland GmbH. Datavision identified AMX’s Enova DVX presentation switcher as the ideal technology to make the State Chancellery more “representative” in terms of technical capabilities.
The award-winning Enova DVX presentation switchers form the core of the AV system.
They provide a cost-effective building technology solution that facilitated the State Chancellery’s transition from analog to digital technology while offering sufficient internal flexibility to handle future connectivity requirements. This compact all-in-one presentation switcher integrates media control and signal management in a single device occupying only three rack units (3 RU). It includes a controller, signal switching, conversion and scaling, signal distribution (even over twisted pair cables for long distances), as well as an audio mixer and amplifier. By consolidating numerous AV functions into one unit, the need for multiple individual components and related integration issues is eliminated.
The integrated digital signal processor offers advanced functionality, such as a standalone 10-band equalizer, independent input level adjustment, and adjustable signal compression, allowing precise adaptation to the signal sources and room acoustics. Comprehensive matrix switching functionality, separate routing of video and audio signals, and enhanced microphone signal processing ensure crystal-clear communication and can reduce or even eliminate the need for technical personnel.
AMX’s exclusive SmartScale technology at each output automatically responds to EDID information from the display, providing a perfectly scaled image. This eliminates compatibility issues between sources and displays with varying resolutions by adopting the highest resolution for each device. As a result, every display in the State Chancellery operates at its preferred resolution and always looks perfect without any manual adjustments. The InstaGate Pro technology bypasses HDCP restrictions and eliminates switching delays.
There are no blackouts when a source or target device is connected, ensuring no HDCP delays or blackouts occur during the switching process.
AMX Modero Touch Panels provide a simple and intuitive control solution, enabling both employees and technicians to easily navigate the entire system. The system’s effortless operation through touch-screen controls in the rooms simplifies the presentation of a wide variety of multimedia content and the management of room functions. Moreover, the elegant touch panels with frameless glass surfaces add a refined aesthetic to the space. All other devices are seamlessly integrated into the room design or centrally housed in the equipment room.
This ensures that the conference rooms of the State Chancellery, equipped with brilliant video systems, professional-grade audio systems, and advanced communication and presentation technologies, now fully meet the highest technical standards. They prove that AMX is the best choice for the flawless execution of meetings.
