At VideoCentric, we’re always proud to see outstanding work from across our group — and our sister company, ClearVC, has once again delivered an exceptional AV transformation for Highland Council.
A Modern Chamber for Modern Governance
The Highland Council wanted to modernise its Chamber to support hybrid meetings, improve accessibility, and make council sessions easier to manage and stream to the public. With over eight years of ongoing partnership, ClearVC understood the Council’s needs and designed a complete solution that brought together cutting-edge audio, video, and control technology.
A Seamless Hybrid & Streaming Experience
The project replaced outdated hardware with a fully integrated, easy-to-use AV system that included:
-
A high-efficiency LED display to replace the old 3×3 video wall
-
Televic microphones and Extron DSP for crystal-clear, clutter-free audio
-
Automated PTZ camera tracking linked to microphones for natural speaker framing
-
Crestron UC control and Teams integration for one-touch meeting start-up
-
Epiphan live streaming and recording, making it easy to broadcast sessions
-
Assistive listening and bilingual translation booths to enhance accessibility
All of this was achieved under a very tight two-week installation window — a remarkable feat considering the project’s scale and technical complexity.
Impact & Feedback
The result is a modern, inclusive Chamber that makes hybrid meetings easier to run and more engaging for councillors and the public alike. The Council team highlighted how the system has simplified daily operations, improved accessibility, and future-proofed their meeting environment.
“The integrated AV solution has substantially improved our ability to manage and deliver hybrid meetings… streamlined operational workflows… a system that is robust, scalable and aligned with our strategic objectives.”
