Remote participation
Enable authorised remote participants and witnesses to communicate clearly with people inside the hearing room.
Masters Voice Technology delivered four purpose-built hearing-room AV systems for the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal at Civic Tower in Sydney—bringing professional audio, conferencing, camera systems, evidence presentation, recording and accessible listening into one coordinated environment.
Tribunal environments bring together members, applicants, respondents, legal representatives, witnesses and remote participants. The technology therefore needed to support consistent communication without forcing users to manage separate audio, video and presentation systems.
Enable authorised remote participants and witnesses to communicate clearly with people inside the hearing room.
Capture clear speech from tribunal and participant positions using dedicated microphones and controlled audio processing.
Route digital sources, documents and physical evidence to nominated displays and conferencing destinations.
Integrate professional video and audio recording into the complete hearing-room signal path.
Provide hearing-assistance functionality as part of the room rather than as an isolated add-on.
Coordinate cabling, testing, system documentation and as-built information within the broader construction program.
Gooseneck microphones, supplementary room capture and PTZ cameras collect speech and video from nominated participant positions.
Q-SYS processing, Dante audio networking and professional video infrastructure manage room audio, camera feeds, conferencing and presentation sources.
Cisco conferencing connects authorised remote attendees, witnesses and other participants with the room's cameras, microphones, displays and audio.
Commercial displays, room loudspeakers, evidence presentation and hearing-assistance technology complete the local hearing experience.
The solution brings microphones, conferencing, cameras, displays, audio processing, video routing, recording, room control and accessibility together around a repeatable hearing-room architecture.
Each technology performs a defined part of the hearing workflow while operating as part of the complete room system.
Central DSP and audio routing connect room microphones, conferencing audio, recording, loudspeakers and other nominated audio sources.

Professional recording and video-routing infrastructure allows nominated hearing-room audio and video signals to reach recording destinations.
Audix gooseneck microphones and supplementary room capture feed the Q-SYS processing environment, with networked amplification and distributed loudspeakers providing controlled room audio.
Dante networking provides the digital-audio transport layer between compatible devices.
Learn about Dante at Audinate ↗A tribunal room needs to accommodate more than conferencing. Participants may need to present digital content, review physical evidence, hear proceedings clearly and participate from outside the room.
Integrated presentation points, Extron switching and scaling, an Elmo visual presenter and professional video routing support digital and physical evidence workflows.
Infrared hearing assistance was integrated into the room solution to provide an additional listening pathway for users requiring hearing support.

The visible technology was only one part of the project. Equipment racks, structured cabling, power-control infrastructure, signal testing and documentation were coordinated within the wider construction environment.
Equipment racks, custom connection plates, communications cabling and integration points.
Connect AV equipment with client-supplied network and computing infrastructure.
Test structured cabling, speaker systems, SDI paths and functional AV workflows.
Complete asset information, cable schedules and as-built project documentation.
The completed solution gives NCAT consistently equipped hearing spaces capable of supporting local proceedings, remote participation, evidence presentation, hearing assistance and recording.
Consistent system architecture and operational approach across each space.
Integrated cameras, conferencing, microphones and displays support Audio Visual Link participation.
Accessible listening functionality is incorporated into the room technology environment.
Tested infrastructure supported by asset, cabling and as-built project information.
Hearing-room technology has to serve people with different roles, different locations and different accessibility requirements while remaining predictable for staff operating the facility.
The NCAT Civic Tower project demonstrates how professional AV integration can connect microphones, cameras, conferencing, evidence presentation, recording and hearing assistance into one coordinated operational workflow.
NCAT's official information identifies Civic Tower, 66 Goulburn Street Sydney as one of its Sydney CBD registry locations.
