Abstract

An integrated control center environment (100) includes a signal switching device; (302) which is connected to a control station (1000). A plurality of computers (800) and audiovisual equipment (404) is also connected to the switch. A server is preferably connected to and controls the switch through instructions from an operator. A network (112) and/or serial communication connects the server, the plurality of computers, the device controller and the composite video station. The; switch and the server allow a control station to view the output from any of the plurality of computers or the audiovisual equipment. In addition, the switch and the server allows control signals to be sent to any of the plurality of computers or audiovisual equipment from the control station. An optional composite video device allows the control station to view and control multiple computers and/or audiovisual equipment simultaneously, for example 16 or more input windows on a high resolution monitor. The system operates multiple distinct computer systems, video devices, audio/video and multimedia on a single platform, using one or more monitors, one keyboard and one mouse. In addition, the source devices (e.g., audio/video, multimedia, computers) may be located in a secure location away from the control station. This system reduces cabling by having a switching system that can switch audio, video, computer information and control information. The integrated system allows the control operator to both view and control multiple computers or audiovisual equipment simultaneously.
