Council chamber — Baugé
Audiovisual equipment for the council chamber, in a former courtroom.
The court of Baugé-en-Anjou closed its doors as a judicial institution in 2000. This remarkable building from the second half of the nineteenth century is being converted into a Maison du Citoyen Connecté (heritage architects: Architrav, delivery 2025): two coworking spaces, a digital experimentation studio, drop-in rooms and a connected museum. The former courtroom becomes the council chamber, which hosts the municipal and inter-municipal councils.
Scenarchie’s assignment covered the audiovisual and multimedia works and equipment of this 135 m² room. The expected functions: display of video content from a local source, visible to every participant, audio and video capture to reinforce the speaker, recording and remote rebroadcasting.
The equipment installed includes 4 monitor screens on masts, a low screen built into the furniture facing the mayor, audio reproduction integrated into the masts, PTZ cameras distributed around the room, handheld radio microphones, a conference controller linked to 40 units with gooseneck microphones built into the furniture, audio and video signal matrixing, and streaming, recording and web-conferencing solutions.
