Additional Communications Connectivity

  Phone Service The Visitors Center has both an analog and digital phone, for outside demo purposes.

  Video and Audio Projection

  We have installed an NEC projection system which allows all permanent devices in the Visitors Center to be displayed on the large screen, as well as to broadcast any audio enhancements to applications. Additionally, there is a full audio mixer which allows the user to control the sound levels from the applications or, if necessary, for the wireless microphone.
