Do you have a Design?

Boardroom, presentation room, auto dealership, funeral home …
A/V is more than a projector and a screen.

Our System Design Consultants can provide you with a custom design for audio, projection, videoconferencing - whatever you need to make your A/V system supremely functional, elegantly simple and definitely user friendly, all at the same time.

Meet Videoscope’s System Design Specialists:

Carlos Aita, CTS
Carlos specializes in Boardroom Design and Installation, but his credits also include a multi-media classroom and an art installation.

The Council of Ontario Universities Boardroom required a sophisticated presentation and conferencing system. A custom programmed Crestron Control System with a user friendly TouchScreen operates the ceiling mounted projector, 42” plasma display and video and computer sources. Polycom audio conferencing and a suitable microphone and speaker set-up complete the A/V for this elegant boardroom.

For a downtown Toronto Boardroom for NYK Line (Canada) Inc., Carlos provided an integrated system with Polycom Videoconferencing, a 50” plasma display, an amplifier and ceiling mounted speakers.

One of his most challenging projects has been the Ark, a video sculpture created by Canadian artist Melissa Shiff and displayed at the Jewish Museum in Prague. Please follow the link for details. Custom housing, custom lensing and custom Extron programming were only part of this very creative installation.

Lorne Feld, CTS

Lorne’s credits include A/V System Designs for Education, Retail, Theatres, Religious Institutions, and Funeral Homes, not to mention the Mock Courtroom. With an audio background, Lorne is well qualified to handle complex audio and video requirements.

The MarkvilleToyota Showroom was a pioneering A/V design, bringing plasma displays to the cafeteria and customer service area to play Markville TV, custom programming for the auto dealership, with new messages daily. Lorne provided interactive flat displays to access car model information and playback video clips. For details, follow the link.

At The Country Day School Lorne provided A/V for the Performing Arts Centre. This ambitious upgrade project included remote control cameras, a large-venue LCD projector, a 20-foot motorized screen and an 8-channel wireless microphone system. In addition Lorne handled A/V Systems for the gym and music rooms at the school.

For Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP, in Ottawa, Lorne designed the A/V installation for a Mock Courtroom. Used by the law firm for witness preparation, the A/V includes three cameras, projector, screen, Smart Board, and a 32” LCD panel with a Crestron TouchPanel custom control system.

Lorne and Carlos are both based in our Toronto office. In our London, Ontario office, Rodd Rossoni handles System Design and Installation.


Rodd Rossoni, CTS
Rodd has extensive experience designing classroom, training room and boardroom A/V. He has also worked with funeral homes and designed a very innovative Media Centre project.

The Ontario AgriCentre Media Centre is a high definition Media Studio for news events, with webcasting capabilities and a Hi Def LCD display. The Sony Anycast Station provides control and flexibility for this multi-use installation. Follow the link for details.

For the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario Rodd provided systems integration for five classrooms at the London campus and in the Exchange Tower in Toronto. For details please follow the link.

For Ostranders Funeral Home, discussion with the management team was crucial for creating a design to achieve their goal: to display PowerPoint presentations and scanned images of family members in any of two visitation rooms and a chapel. Rodd used twisted pair encoding technology to route multiple sources throughout the facility, controlled by a twisted pair matrix switcher. LCD flat panel displays and projection technologies completed the design. All video and computer presentations are captured to DVD in the central control room, to be given to the families of the deceased.
