Caso de estudio: Sanar, enseñar, comunicar – La solución AREC para un hospital integral en Brasil

Estimados socios de ADENA, el caso de estudio de julio se enfoca en HUCAM, una institución brasileña dedicada a la investigación médica, formación sanitaria, hospital y centro de diagnóstico de gran importancia ubicado en Vitória, en el estado de Espírito Santo. Con la instalación de una Media Station AREC LS-2 y una cámara CI-T10 IR Auto-Tracking por parte de nuestro socio Wave AV, la institución ha mejorado notablemente tanto la calidad como la eficiencia de su producción audiovisual. En conjunto con un sistema de control Crestron y soluciones AV de otras marcas, HUCAM puede ahora generar de forma independiente transmisiones en vivo de ceremonias y eventos públicos.

Más detalles sobre esta instalacion a continuación:

El Hospital Universitario Cassiano Antonio Moraes (HUCAM) es una institución clave en el sector salud del estado de Espírito Santo, Brasil. Está afiliado a la Universidad Federal de Espírito Santo y también funciona como centro de formación para estudiantes de medicina. Además de su función educativa, HUCAM opera como hospital en pleno funcionamiento, especializado en el tratamiento de enfermedades como el SIDA y la tuberculosis, y ofrece servicios como cirugías, cuidados neonatales y otros tratamientos esenciales. Debido al alcance de sus actividades, el equipo de HUCAM cuenta con una gran cantidad de conocimientos e información que desea compartir con el público, pero durante mucho tiempo no contaba con las herramientas adecuadas para hacerlo. Esto cambió cuando nuestro socio, Wave AV, propuso e instaló una solución AV moderna, con tecnología AREC como eje central.

LS-2 Media Station

La Media Station LS-2 fue seleccionada para encargarse de la grabación y transmisión de eventos. Este modelo puede procesar hasta dos fuentes de video compatibles al mismo tiempo en Full HD, grabándolas juntas y por separado, y transmitiendo a dos* plataformas RTP/RTMP de forma simultánea, incluyendo YouTube y muchas otras. Además, permite añadir imágenes de fondo y superposiciones personalizadas al video, lo que facilita la inclusión de logotipos, iniciales del presentador, anuncios u otra información relevante. Todo el contenido grabado por la LS-2 se respalda de forma segura tanto en su disco interno como en servidores FTP/SFTP definidos por el usuario.

En HUCAM, la Media Station se encarga de mezclar video desde múltiples fuentes, las cuales pueden cambiarse utilizando las funciones de la propia LS-2 o mediante un panel de control Crestron. Los eventos se transmiten en vivo por YouTube, donde la institución mantiene un canal público. Entre las fuentes utilizadas se incluyen computadoras, cámaras de red de terceros y una cámara CI-T10 IR Auto-Tracking. Esta cámara fue elegida por su fácil configuración y uso, así como por su capacidad de seguimiento confiable gracias a la tecnología de infrarrojos. Se emplea junto con varios posicionadores IR AM-360, diseñados como accesorios para micrófono. Así, la cámara permanece enfocada en los participantes clave –como miembros del público que hacen preguntas o el presentador principal– dependiendo del tipo de evento.

Bryan Sarmiento, Director Técnico de Wave AV, comentó que “el sistema cumplió exactamente con lo que se necesitaba” y que su equipo “disfrutó del proceso de integración con Crestron”, destacando que “el proceso fue muy sencillo”. También elogió al equipo de soporte técnico, resaltando los tiempos de respuesta rápidos y la eficacia en la resolución de dudas.

Case Study: Healing, Teaching, Streaming – All-in-One AREC for an All-in-One Brazilian Hospital

Dear ADENA Partners, our July case study focuses on HUCAM – a Brazilian healthcare research and training institution, hospital, and major diagnostic centre located in Vitória, in the state of Espírito Santo. With the installation of an AREC LS-2 Media Station and a CI-T10 IR Auto-Tracking Camera by our partner, Wave AV, the institution has significantly enhanced both the quality and efficiency of its media production. In combination with a Crestron control system and AV solutions from other brands, HUCAM is now able to independently create engaging livestreams of public ceremonies and events. Learn more about the installed solution in the story below:

The Hospital Universitário Cassiano Antonio Moraes (HUCAM) is a key healthcare institution in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Affiliated with the Federal University of Espírito Santo, it also serves as a training centre for the university’s medical students. In addition to its educational role, HUCAM is a fully operational hospital, specialising in the treatment of serious illnesses such as AIDS and tuberculosis, and offering surgeries, neonatal care, and other vital services. Given the breadth of its work, the staff at HUCAM has a wealth of knowledge and information they wish to share with the public – but for a long time, they lacked the proper tools to do so. This changed when our partner, Wave AV, proposed and installed a modern AV solution with AREC at its heart.

LS-2 Media Station

The LS-2 Media Station was selected to handle the recording and streaming of events. This model can process up to two video sources of any supported type simultaneously in Full HD, recording them both together and separately, and streaming to up to two RTP/RTMP platforms, including YouTube and many others. The station also allows users to add custom overlay and background images to the video, enabling the inclusion of presenter initials, advertisements, logos, and other information. All content recorded by the LS-2 is securely backed up both on its internal drive and externally on user-defined FTP/SFTP servers.

At HUCAM, the station is responsible for mixing video from multiple sources, which can be switched by the user via the LS-2’s own functions or through a Crestron control panel. The station streams events live to YouTube, where the institution maintains a public-facing profile. The video sources used in production include computers, third-party network cameras, and a CI-T10 IR Auto-Tracking Camera. This camera was selected for its straightforward setup and ease of use, as well as its reliable target acquisition, made possible by infrared tracking technology. It is used in conjunction with several AM-360 IR positioners, designed to function as microphone accessories. As a result, the camera is always focused on key targets – such as audience members asking questions or the main presenter – depending on the nature of the event. You can see one such streamed event below:

Bryan Sarmiento, Technical Director at Wave AV, commented that ‘the system delivered exactly what was needed of it’ and that his team ‘enjoyed the process of integrating it with Crestron’, noting that ‘the process proved to be very simple’. He also praised our technical support team, highlighting the quick response times and the speed with which any queries were resolved.

We thank Wave AV for providing the materials and for their excellent work on this project. Interested in implementing AREC in your next healthcare installation? Get in touch with us at www.a-dena.com, and we’ll be happy to schedule a meeting at your convenience.

Case Study: AREC, Sennheiser and QSC Turn One Room into Three for an Energy Major

Dear ADENA Partners, this month's case study highlights how a major energy and chemical products distributor in Chile uses AREC infrared tracking cameras to enhance their conferencing experience. The solution, created by our partner Videocorp, is centred around AREC CI-T10 IR tracking cameras and products from other brands, including Epson, Sennheiser, and QSC. Together, our brands enable the company to conduct up to three simultaneous conference calls in a highly modular room with ease.

The company is one of the main Chilean distributors of fuels, lubricants, and other chemical products used in the industrial, marine, aviation, land transportation, construction, and other sectors. With more than 100 years of experience, the company has business interests in other countries as well, such as Paraguay and the USA. Consequently, the company’s headquarters are always bustling with activity and meetings between the different divisions and partners. Sometimes, these meetings require multiple divisions of the company to be present, while at other times, multiple separate meetings need to take place simultaneously. Since the existing room arrangements did not accommodate these specifics, the company sought a solution. Our partner Videocorp delivered it using AREC IR tracking cameras and several other brands.

The devised solution fully resolved the company’s needs. They redesigned the meeting rooms to be modular: when multiple meetings are taking place, the rooms work independently, separated by foldable walls. If a meeting requires more attendees, the walls fold, and the rooms become one. To capture the presenters and ensure they are tracked, each room is outfitted with a CI-T10 IR tracking camera and an AM-600 IR positioner. The simplicity in configuration and usage of these cameras makes them an ideal fit for modular rooms. The cameras follow the positioners in their field of view. They do not require zone configuration, face registration, or other settings, typically required by AI tracking cameras, so their tracking is not affected by different room configurations. Moreover, since the cameras only follow the positioners, they are not distracted by hand gestures, other people in view, or other kinds of obstructions. Tracking can be turned on, off, or paused by pressing one button on a positioner, giving the presenter full control over the camera at all times.

The presenters’ audio is picked up by Sennheiser handheld microphones, while ceiling microphones are used for the audience members. The combined audio is sent into the conferencing software. Presenters’ content and conferencing software are displayed by Epson projectors. Audio, video, and other elements of the room are controlled by QSC devices. The company’s staff can control projector screens, microphone audio, operate cameras, manage conferencing software, and perform other operations from control panels installed in every room.

With the renovated and adapted meeting spaces, the company is now fully equipped to hold effective meetings regardless of the needs of the day.
