On the occasion of the renovation of the cantonal council hall, it was equipped with the latest AV technology and in particular a new voting system.
During the renovation, the Solothurn Cantonal Council Chamber was equipped with the latest audio and video technology. An essential part of this was the integration of a new voting system.
In developing a solution that is optimally tailored to the needs, wishes and requirements of the client, the very tight space conditions posed the greatest challenge. The goal was to integrate a simple, functional and aesthetically pleasing voting unit in the cantonal council hall. For this customised solution, components were used that were specially developed and manufactured by Bosch for this system.
The voting trends and results are projected on two projectors in a layout specifically designed for the canton of Solothurn. This allows politicians to see the outcome of the vote within seconds.
The ongoing discussions of the cantonal council can be followed live via web stream over the internet by means of image and sound transmission using three high-quality dome cameras. The sophisticated microphone management recognises which speaker is positioned where and automatically pans the corresponding camera with the correct zoom setting to their seat in the hall. With the software specially used for voting systems and the complex data interfaces (Konsul and Verbalix), a solution was realised which enables the company to integrate the existing business data into the voting system in a simple way and then to let it flow into the recording. Thanks to the simple operating concept, the president of the council guides the council through the items on the agenda via a touch tablet. The Presidium is supported by the Council Secretary with the extended operation.
