	NATIONAL FOREIGN AFFAIRS TRAINING CENTER Paging and Intercom Systems throughout all campus buildings, including the historic "Arlington Hall Station" building. A rooftop Giant Voice paging system provides for highly directional coverage of outdoor evacuation routes and assembly areas. The entire system utilizes hundreds of TOA T120, H2, and H3 speakers for the interior spaces, EV horns for the Giant Voice array, over 10,000 watts of power from EV amplifiers and individual 1/3 octave equalization of each zone. An Electrovoice, Dynacord paging control manager is used to manage the large multi-zone system. The equipment has been installed in such a way as to render its presence largely invisible to the human eye, while its exceptional electro-acoustical performance sets the benchmark for systems of this type.
	U.S. MARINE CORPS COMMAND AND STAFF COLLEGE Upgrade of Auditorium A/V System, including new Sony video projectors and AMX Netlink control system.
	DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE - BRIEFING AND CONFERENCE CENTER As part of the renovation of the historic Robert F. Kennedy Building in Washington DC, the new seventh floor briefing and conference facility has been designated to serve as the site for the Attorney General's Press Conferences and for his live interviews with the major TV news media anchors. This acoustically isolated art deco space has a balanced reverberation time and an NC 20 noise level. Continuous monitoring of these parameters by our engineers during the construction phase of the renovation insured that the completed facility met the original acoustical design objectives. We equipped the space with a sophisticated sound reinforcement system, rear and plasma screen audio-visual projection system, broadcast audio system, digital television control room, and media distribution system. The six channel sound reinforcement system uses the new ElectroVoice EVID speakers for both house and stage. Shure auto mixers, Gentner digital processing and Rane power amplifiers complete that system. Eight ceiling-mounted, Sennheiser shotgun microphones and a Mackie audio console are used for the broadcast audio feed. JVC projectors and Fujitsu plasma displays driven by Extron and Autopatch switchers and scalers are used for the projection system. A sophisticated AMX Netlink controller provides the user interface. The digital TV control room features Grass Valley switching, Phillips router, Sony monitoring and tape recorders, Leitch digital recorder, Pinnacle CG and still store, and Leitch and Miranda distribution amplifiers and converters. The extensive media routing distribution system allows for up to 12 broadcast pool and independent video feeds to be monitored simultaneously and routed via outbound fiber through the Washington AVOC to the broadcast networks. Since its opening on October 1, 2001, the facility has been used on a daily basis for the Attorney General's nationally televised press conferences and for feature interviews on prime shows such as Nightline, CNN, the Charlie Rose Show, and America's Most Wanted.
	LYCEUM HALL AT PARRIS ISLAND This historic 2000 seat venue is one of the oldest buildings on the Marine Corps Training Center campus. Before Techniarts was called in for consultation, a new "control technology" sound system had been installed as part of a recent renovation. But the results pleased no one, proving that the laws of acoustical physics inevitably trump the fast changing visions of equipment manufacturers. To meet the aesthetic and acoustical challenges presented by this hall, we designed our version of the classic Altec Lansing distributed ceiling system. The system uses ceiling-mounted Altec 920 speakers, with EV Sx100 speakers on the floor to achieve local precedence. EV P3000 and 9444B power amplifiers provide 4 killowatts of power. An ElectroVoice mixing console, equalizer, and wireless microphones complete the system. The results brought architectural space, sound system, and audience in harmony with each other.
	U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES - HOUSE RECORDING STUDIO Techniarts provided a Technology Assessment, Industry Survey, User Survey, Study, and Design Plan for conversion of the House of Representatives Broadcast Video systems to HDTV technology, including HDTV and SDTV broadcast feeds, file servers, Intranet, Internet, Web-Casting and DIgital Archiving.

	ALTERNATE NATIONAL MILITARY JOINT COMMUNICATIONS CENTER Replacement of the original (1960) secure facility wide sound communication and emergency paging systems with computer supervised Crown IEQ system. Installation, cutover, and deactivation of old system accomplished during operations with no interruption or down time.
	OPERATION DESERT STORM - PENTAGON COMMAND CENTER multi-zone sound and communications system TECHNIARTS, under contract to the U.S. Army, designed and installed a complete seven zone sound reinforcement system and a perimeter noise masking system in the Pentagon AOC in the weeks prior to Desert Storm. The substantial increase in facility usage brought about by Desert Shield revealed inherent weaknesses in the previously installed sound systems in the Command Center. Briefers in the CAB could not hear questions properly from the floor, and the duty officers could not hear the commanders in the CAB. Because of the high ambient noise and distances involved, duty officers had difficulty hearing each other. TECHNIARTS was called in to solve the problem. We designed a multi-zone system that allowed automatic, hands-free communication between all areas of the Center. Moreover, visitors in the VIP gallery could address duty officers on the floor without moving from their seats and duty officers could reply with ease. TECHNIARTS installed and tested the complex system without interruption or down time of any kind to on-going operations.
	INAUGURAL VIDEO SECURITY SYSTEM video command communications and control system. TECHNIARTS, under contract to the Joint Armed Forces Inaugural Committee, designed and installed a complete, broadcast grade, video network for the security of the City of Washington during the Presidential Inaugural Ceremonies. Ten broadcast grade video cameras, many with special long lenses, were installed on roof tops and custom built camera towers along Pennsylvania Avenue between the U.S. Capitol and the White House. Video and audio at these secure positions were locally recorded and transmitted by TECHNIARTS through a complex network, using fiber optics, cable, microwave, and infrared laser, to the Forward Video Command Center adjacent to the Capitol Building. From the Command Center, switched and isolated feeds from all cameras were time-stamped, simultaneously recorded, and further distributed to the Military Operations and Plans Vans where military controllers could observe and direct needed activities. Incoming live broadcast, network feeds, and off-air signals were also displayed by TECHNIARTS in the Operations and Plans Vans. Communications with the camera positions was maintained with a TECHNIARTS furnished two way radio network and a land line telephone network. Audio and Video signals from the Forward Command Post were re-transmitted by TECHNIARTS to the special Military Command Center at the Washington Navy Yard where they were displayed by large screen projectors for the General Staff and the Command Center operations staff. Using the TECHNIARTS network one could observe every point along the Inaugural Parade Route without interruption and could simultaneously zoom into any single person or event that mandated close observation. Instantaneous tape playback from any camera or incoming line source was available at work station positions located both in the Forward Command Post and at the Military Command Center. TECHNIARTS was responsible for the design, integration, testing, successful operation and later de-installation of the network. TECHNIARTS supplied other major systems for the Inauguration, including the massive sound reinforcement system used for the Inaugural Ceremony and systems used for Inaugural Events such as the Youth Forum and Inaugural Ball.
	TELEVISION MARTI Techniarts provided complete broadcast production facilities and personnel to produce "Telenoticias Marti", a daily one-half hour live news broadcast to Cuba. Techniarts provided Washington, D.C. based studios, transmission facilities, news bureau, and ENG crews, as well as a fully staffed Miami, Florida, bureau with satellite interconnect, and stringer bureaus around the world. Daily live feeds were obtained and downlinked by Techniarts from the Mideast, Moscow, and Central and South America. During the one and one-haf years that Techniarts provided the programming, Telenoticias Marti was viewed throughout Cuba and much of Latin America by direct downlink from GTE Spacenet. Although much press attention was given to jamming efforts by the Cuban Government, jamming directed at the USIA transmitter located in Florida, transmission from Spacenet was never jammed. The program, as produced by Techniarts, received critical acclaim from many Spanish language newspaper reviewers, who compared its quality to that of any major network newscast.
	MISAWA AIR FORCE BASE base-wide paging and alert system . Located just a few hundred miles from the Soviet border, Misawa Air Force Base is our northernmost Air Force base in Japan. Several squadrons of fighter/interceptors are deployed at Misawa. The base itself is exceptionally large, covering 1400 acres. Weather in Misawa is severe with subzero temperatures and deep snow the norm from December to April. TECHNIARTS built a fail-safe, base-wide "Giant Voice" paging system that would allow the command post reliably to bring the base to an alert status. TECHNIARTS built a complete radio-controlled system that features a series of 50-foot speaker towers located throughout the base. Each tower contains a high power speaker array and a self-contained amplifier package. The amplifiers operate from AC line power with full battery back-up. The electronics and battery package are completely weatherized to stand up to the long winter. The speaker array and receiving antenna are mounted to withstand gale force winds. The system is controlled from either of two command posts. Operators can direct a page to any individual tower or to any combination of towers by entering the proper code on a touch tone keypad. Routine messages can therefore be directed away from non-essential areas. The system will reproduce speech, music, and alert tones. Signals can come from a live microphone, pre-recorded tape, or incoming telephone line. A portable control station may be taken in the field and used to access towers. For example, towers on the flight-line could be accessed from a Grand Stand for a flight show or towers in another area used to support a local exercise. As the base is enlarged, the system may be easily expanded by adding speaker towers in the new areas.
	MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE auditorium sound reinforcement system . The Air War College 550-seat auditorium is the site of many classified lectures and briefings. TECHNIARTS designed and built a TEMPEST tested sound reinforcement system to service the needs of the auditorium's many users. A large central speaker cluster provides coverage of the audience seating area. Since many briefings involve question and answer sessions, over 150 seatback microphones are installed. An automatic mixing system controls level and balance regardless of the number of microphones used at any one time. A stage monitor system allows guests on stage to hear questions from the audience clearly. To accommodate guest lecturers with impaired hearing (a common problem among pilots who flew in combat) an infrared transmission system was installed which feeds the output of the sound system directly to a speaker's hearing device. Questions from the floor can then be heard comfortably. The system normally functions in an automatic mode. However, it may be switched to manual to accommodate lecturers whose voices are simply too loud, soft, or erratic for automatic tracking. The system is designed to be free of RF emissions. It has been tested for compliance with NSA requirements. It includes acoustical noise maskers for the auditorium perimeter and a security status panel to monitor the status of incoming and outgoing feeds.
	WASHINGTON DC ARMORY high intensity performing arts sound system. Eight speaker clusters arranged as a distributed line array serve this 10,000 seat arena. Forty Electro-Voice HP series constant directivity horns and 40 TL low frequency cabinets make up the clusters which have a combined weight of 10,000 pounds suspended from the 100 foot high Armory roof. Crown amplifiers provide 5,000 watts of power. A backstage system with over 130 speakers was also provided as part of the installation.
	WASHINGTON DC CONVENTION CENTER audio systems for sound reinforcement, teleconferencing, and broadcast feeds.
