3. Reliability
a. Operation shall be 100% reliable. Occasional spurious operation shall not be
acceptable.
b. Every control panel pushbutton shall work as intended when pressed just once.
The excuse of "Try it again" shall not be acceptable.
c. Equipment shall remain operable from its own front panel even when under control
from the remote control system. For example, unused outputs on a video router
shall be available for manual operation even when other outputs are being
switched by the control system.
d. When a portable control panel is disconnected and re-connected, the panel shall
return to normal operation with system status correctly indicated for all functions. If
necessary, an initialization pushbutton may be used to force a panel update.
4. Usability
a. A sub-page or individual function which appears on two different pages shall
operate in the same way on each page.
b. Feedback (tally) shall be accurate 100% of the time. If true feedback cannot be
achieved, then feedback generated by the control system must be 100% accurate.
If such feedback cannot be accurately generated, then momentary tally (to confirm
pushbutton press only) shall be used.
c. Every function required for proper operation of the audiovisual system shall be
under the control of the remote control system, regardless of whether or not that
function is in use. For example, a video document camera may have an
Internal/External mode function, permitting the display of an external device such
as a notebook computer. If the user inadvertently selects External mode, the
document camera will be inoperable. The Internal/External mode function shall
therefore be under control of the remote control system, so that when the
document camera is selected for display, Internal mode is forced.
d. Functions with an inherent delay (eg. video projector turn-on and warm-up) shall
be accompanied by an indication of time remaining until ready (touch panels only).
Otherwise, there shall be no perceptible delay either in system response or in
status indication.
e. Ramping functions (such as volume control) shall operate smoothly, with a ramp
rate of approximately 5 seconds from minimum to maximum. System response to
ramping commands shall be immediate, and there shall be no perceptible delay in
the response of any bargraph indicator.
5. Control Panel Graphics
a. A conservative graphical standard suitable for an educational application shall be
developed and adhered to. This standard shall include the following:
1) Limited color palette, generally with colored pushbuttons on a light
background
2) No background texture or wallpaper
3) Limited number of typefaces and type sizes for legends
4) Pushbuttons properly aligned horizontally and vertically
5) Consistent and logical use of color - ie. green for normal condition, red for
alert.
6) There shall be no perceptible delay in control panel page flips. Page flips
shall be executed without any spurious flashes of unwanted pages or sub-
pages.
7) Control panel pushbuttons shall not be present for functions which will not
be required (eg. DVD record) or which are not supported in the application
(MCU functions for a video codec without an integral MCU).
b. In absence of specific direction from Owner or Consultant use Crestron “Standard”
Theme or similar as a basis for touch panel graphics.
c. Develop panel graphics within an independent graphics design program, Adobe
PhotoShop or similar, that provides 32-bit color selection and color matching, color

custom typefaces. Import panel graphics thus developed into Crestron
VisionTools or AMX TPDesign panel creation software. Do not perform initial
graphics development within these Crestron or AMX applications.
6. Other
a. Configure control system hardware and programming so that the system will
recover from a loss of power to any portion of the system or to the system as a
whole without operator intervention. Configure so that control system does not
lockup during loss of power, and that manual operation of equipment is possible
under all conditions.
b. Provide resistive pull-ups or other means as required to reliably interface to low-

to provide a complete system, to the extent that such items are not provided by others. Unless
specifically instructed to the contrary, install all system wiring in steel conduit. Do not exceed
30% fill in conduits.
B. Use separate steel conduits for microphone-level circuits (below -20 dBm), line-level circuits (up
to +30 dBm), loudspeaker circuits (above +30 dBm), control circuits, and power circuits. Use
audio conduit which is spaced well away from power conduit. Insulate all conduit from the
equipment rack(s); ground conduit only to power system ground. Do not splice lines in conduit.
Connect each input receptacle by an individual, insulated line to the system equipment rack.
C. Secure equipment firmly in place, including control panels, loudspeakers, conduit, amplifiers,
racks, and cables. Make fasteners and supports adequate to support their loads with a safety
factor of at least three.
D. Take precautions to prevent electromagnetic and electrostatic hum. Install the equipment to
provide safe operation.
E. Use terminal strips or blocks in all audio lines entering or leaving the system equipment rack(s).
Make all joints and connections with rosin-core solder or with mechanical connectors
appropriate for the service. Execute all wiring in strict adherence to standard broadcast
practices.
F. Assemble and install equipment racks to permit access to connections and adjustments on the
rear of rack-mounted components and to permit removal of components for servicing. For any
components which, for purposes of adjustment or calibration, must be removed from an
equipment rack while in use, provide adequate service loops on all connecting cables.
G. Provide safety cables prevent individual loudspeaker components from falling in case of failure
or loosening of the primary component support. Paint all exposed components as directed by
the Architect.

3.6 INITIAL POST-COMPLETION TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS
A. Perform these tests and adjustments. Furnish equipment necessary to perform these tests, and
perform work required to modify the performance of the system in accordance with this
specification.
1. Loudspeaker Line Impedance
a. Measure the resistance and impedance of each loudspeaker line leaving the
system equipment rack, with the line disconnected from its normal driving source.
Measure impedance within each loudspeaker's passband (at center of passband
or at least one octave removed from crossover frequency). Verify that values are
within +10% of the value calculated for that circuit based upon the parallel
impedances/resistances of the loudspeakers connected plus the resistance of the
loudspeaker line. Correct any discrepancies.
2. Loudspeaker Phasing
a. Perform phasing checks of loudspeaker lines by means of a DC source at one end
of each line and a voltmeter at the other end. Phase all loudspeaker lines
identically with respect to color coding.
3. Hum and Noise Level
a. Measure the hum and noise levels of the overall system. Adjust gain controls for
optimum signal-to-noise ratio. The adjustment shall also be such that full power
amplifier output would be achieved with +8 dBm input. Terminate inputs with
shielded resistors of 600 ohms for these measurements. Disconnect the
loudspeaker lines and terminate the power amplifier outputs with power resistors
for these measurements. Use load resistors matching the rated load impedance
and output power of the amplifier.
4. Power Output and Signal Level Adjustments
a. Measure the electrical distortion of the overall system. Adjust gain controls as for
the tests specified in the preceding paragraph. Set variable equalizers for flat
response. Apply a 1,000 Hz sine-wave signal to the input tested, at a level
required to produce full amplifier output. Use a distortion analyzer to measure the
output level and total harmonic distortion of the amplification equipment. (In the
absence of a distortion analyzer, a VTVM or transistor voltmeter may be used to
measure the output level, and lack of clipping or apparent deformation of a sine-
wave input signal at the power amplifier output, as seen on an oscilloscope as
specified, may serve as evidence that distortion of amplification and control
equipment is within acceptable limits, subject to review by the Architect.) Make all

measurements with loads actually incurred in system operation. (Power amplifier
loads shall be resistors equal to the nominal impedance of the output terminals
used in the system.)
5. Freedom from Parasitic Oscillation and Radio-Frequency Pick-up
a. Check to insure that the system is free from spurious oscillation and radio-
frequency pick-up, both in the absence of any audio input signal and also when the
system is driven to full output at 100 Hz. Employ an oscilloscope as specified.
6. Freedom from Buzzes, Rattles, and Objectionable Distortion
a. Apply a slow sine-wave sweep from 50 to 5,000 Hz at a level of 6 dB below rated
power amplifier output voltage. Listen carefully for buzzes, rattles, and
objectionable distortion. Correct any causes of these defects, unless the cause is
clearly outside the sound amplification system equipment and installation, in which
case bring the cause to the attention of the Architect.
7. Gain Control Settings
a. Establish tentative normal settings for all gain controls. Adjust all gain controls for
optimum signal-to-noise ratio and signal balance.
8. Freedom from Switching Transient Noise
a. Eliminate audible clicks or pops produced by the operation of any controls.

a. Employ an RGB test generator to produce signals with horizontal scan frequencies
of 15.75 kHz, 35 kHz, 64 kHz and other frequencies as directed. Align projectors
to meet manufacturer's published specifications for all such input signals. Verify
that the image size specified can be achieved, and that keystone distortion is
absent. Verify the absence of any other geometry errors, including bow, skew,
trapezoid, linearity, and vignetting.
b. Verify proper registration and focus of each tube to within the performance limits of
the projector. Adjust horizontal blanking to preclude the loss of image on the
sides. Verify that any remaining registration errors do not prevent the projector
from performing in the intended application.
13. Subjective Image Quality
a. Observe the image quality on various displays throughout the system, employing
various sources such as workstations and videotape, and check for errors of
linearity, chroma-luminance delay, signal to noise performance, blanking and gain
shifts, RF interference, crosstalk, and other imperfections. Test for these errors
under various operating conditions, including selecting random sources into
selected projectors.
14. Control System
a. Verify that all devices being controlled by the master control system respond to
corresponding graphic elements on touch screens. Check all screens for full
functionality. Test touch panels at all connection locations.
