Interactive Boardroom Fitout – Seamless AV Upgrade with Dual Mondopads

Smart, Streamlined & Future-Ready: A Boardroom Built for Connection

How Cable & Connect transformed a basic space into a high-performance AV hub

When a large public-facing organisation needed a smarter, more efficient way to conduct meetings, training, and presentations across the state, they called on Cable & Connect to deliver a modern AV solution—without the tech headaches.

The goal?
To turn a blank boardroom into a fully integrated, dual-purpose space that could handle:

  • On-site meetings

  • Remote video conferencing

  • Interactive training sessions

  • Wireless collaboration

And the solution?
A custom-designed system by Phil Tait, Co-Director of Cable & Connect, featuring:

  • Two Infocus Mondopads for seamless interactivity

  • A Bluestream 8x8 HDBaseT matrix switcher to control the space as one large room or two separate zones

  • iPad-controlled automation via Elan Control System

  • LaunchPort docking stations to keep devices charged and accessible

  • Guest-friendly wireless sharing (no internal WiFi login required)

  • Full Polycom integration with annotation and reverse-connect features

This install eliminated the need for outsourced VC spaces, cut down training travel costs, and gave the client a functional, flexible environment that works with their team—not against it.

As Phil shared:

“We trialled a range of whiteboard solutions, but the Mondopads ticked all the boxes. Their collaboration tools, annotation functions, and intuitive setup made them the clear winner for long-term usability and support.”

This boardroom now supports critical communications across the state—with the smarts to scale as the organisation grows.
