A-Vs On A Budget
Low budgets do not have to
mean lack of sophistication
in audiovisual facilities and
usage. Through careful
planning Denver's Fox & Co.,
intalled two multi-media,
multi-use audiovisual rooms
for less than $3000.

The word "multi-media." "multiscreen," and "rear projection" when used in conjunction with the design of an audiovisual facility or conference room usually bring visions of massive construction, miles of electrical control wiring systems, exotic lighting systems and in general a large expense for the buyer of such a system.
This is not always the case, as a visit to the offices of Elmer Fox & Co. in Denver will attest. When the local office of this national CPA firm moved to its new quarters, the move cost more than was planned (when doesn't it?). The result was that there was very little budget left for an A-V system, let alone a sophisticated facility incorporating the terms described above.
The principals of the Fox company, however, had been enthusiastic users of audiovisuals for several years, and having been exposed to some of the newer techniques, were most anxious to incorporate them in their new conference room.
Denver's Audio Visual Consultants and Visual Aids Supply Co. provided the economical solution through the careful, studied use of
Af
the existing space at the Fox offic There was an existing long nar row conference room . . . approxi mately 11x36 feet. Utilizing th< existing doors to the room, it wa ^ divided into two rooms, one 1 1 2.'>', the other, a smaller library, meeting/projection room was 1 1' ir. The existing lights, adequate for normal room lighting, were modified only to permit separate switching. Four low brightness cone multiplier down lights were added in the main conference room and wired for control from a manual dimmer mounted near other light „ switches in the room.
To separate the rooms, a di vider was fashioned from two panels hinged together which could be opened and folded against one wall Installed in each panel was a 4' j 4' Polacoat rear screen so that when the panels were closed, the main room is equipped for rear projection from the other. A Radiant 70" square screen was suspended from the ceiling in the li-I brary room and rolled up when not in use. For front projection, the divider was moved and the screen lowered.
