Key deliverables include three 4K UHD over IP laser projectors, one motorized projection screen, six wireless microphones (four handheld and four lapel), eight encrypted digital tabletop wireless microphones with no Bluetooth capability, seven zone-specific speakers with corresponding amplification, and six 10-inch wired A/V control displays with a graphical interface supporting BYOD via USB-C for platforms like Zoom for Government and Microsoft Teams.
