Description

This project presents the modernization of the Fraser Duncan Auditorium control system at SNOLAB through the integration of a Biamp digital signal processor, Microsoft Teams Rooms, camera systems, and a custom Impera Tango control interface. Operational challenges with the legacy system were used to guide iterative improvements to audio routing, room configuration, automation, and operator usability. The resulting design provides a more reliable and flexible hybrid collaboration environment for scientific seminars, meetings, presentations, and outreach activities at SNOLAB.
