2 Save time and money and increase efficiency. Cost savings: A networked, single-platform communication system can save thousands on hardware and installation alone. Further, there is a significant cost savings in management resources by integrating multiple AV sources with a single point of control either a control panel on the wall or virtually through a software application. Time and Resource savings: An open architecture approach allows products to coexist with other devices. The easy configuration and setup saves time and decreases training needs. Integrators can also take advantage of pre-built project files which is more efficient than a collection of individual device drivers.

15 Maestro

16 DRS5000 Server

17 Head-end System IP Based Bells, Intercom, PA, Emergency Alert Linux Based Server Architecture Utilize Schools Existing Network Use Same Set of Speakers as Local Classroom Audio With FrontRow s CM3000 Huge Hardware and Operational Savings Easy to Use End User Graphical Interface Because IP Based Easy to Adapt as School Changes

18 Head-end System

19 Network Control for Easy Management

20 School-Wide Architecture of Conductor Classrooms: CM3000 Deployed in classrooms and as part of the Admin Station at head end POE option with FrontRow s PD20W Hallways: CM800 Audio out of CM800 goes to paging amplifier Paging amplifier determines the number of speakers needed Common Areas:652-PL800S IP Speaker Kit for Teachers Lounge, etc. 652-PL800S can drive up to four analog speakers 6.5 Plenum rated speaker that allows everyone to hear the same thing Large Venues: CM800 Gyms, Auditoriums, etc. CM800 into RS232 of sound system amplifier for page override

21 Provide zoning Interfaces with school phone system Analog/Telco interface just like a fax machine Utilizes analog port on any phone system that has one Page all, specific rooms or individual zones (one way) Trigger-defined emergency alerts, commands and actions Call in and page from any phone Configurable and only one needed per school

22 POE Keeps paging system on air at all times during a power outage Works with UPS battery back-up of POE switch in network closet Automatically converts to POE when local classroom power goes out PD20W converts POE into exactly 12V (Maximum 20W delivery)

23 CB75 and CB85 Wall-mounted push-to-talk or ceiling-mounted handsfree mics For use with FrontRow s Conductor Easy two-way communication Hands-free or push-to-talk Sized for Decora inserts

24 Conductor Administrator UI Easy, intuitive, powerful school- wide control Easy, client-server app Manage & schedule bells, paging, intercom, emergency alerts, classroom A/V, zones Stand-alone or integrated IP-phone intercom Automatic notification Control doors, security, digital signage, HVAC, lighting anything that understands serial, IR, relay, or IP command

25 A Closer Look: Emergency Response CUSTOM, CASCADING ACTIONS Trigger a series of commands Send audio to defined zones alerts Control doors, devices Activate mass notification or other school systems

26 A Closer Look: Create Zones

27 A Closer Look: Create Zones RIGHT MESSAGE, RIGHT PLACE Define any number of zones in your buildings Send appropriate communications to just the right zones Message prioritization means no one misses important info

28 A Closer Look: Custom Scheduling

29 A Closer Look: Custom Scheduling EASY TO CREATE & CHANGE Change bell/event schedules quickly (e.g, early release day) SET UP THE YEAR IN ADVANCE Your audio/event schedule automatically runs Change easily as needed

30 Summary of Benefits Financial Benefits Operational Benefits Eliminate redundant speakers, amplifiers, Message prioritization cable Emergency alert reliability New Construction Single, coordinated response Extend technology budget Alert tones, mass notifications, vital Lower maintenance costs instructions posted on school-wide screens Complete Retrofit Control security systems Use existing school network Lower maintenance costs Greater flexibility for PA zones, bell tones, scheduling Control practically anything, anytime, from anywhere
