Corporate InstallationAnchor Capital: Where Technology Meets Sophistication with Seamless Communication Solutions
The project at Anchor Capital was part of a larger national rollout executed on behalf of Mitech, involving state-of-the-art audiovisual installations across multiple corporate sites in South Africa. For this particular installation, our team focused on the main boardroom facility—a space designed not only for high-level executive meetings but also for seamless virtual collaboration.
In today’s corporate environment, communication must be fast, clear, and effective, whether the participants are across the table or across the globe. At Anchor Capital, this requirement was translated into a highly integrated boardroom system that delivers functionality without compromising on style or space efficiency.
Dual-Screen Video Conferencing Setup at Anchor Capital
A central feature of the Anchor Capital boardroom installation is its dual-screen video conferencing system, designed specifically for Zoom meetings and similar remote communication platforms. In this setup, one screen is dedicated to displaying remote participants, while the second is used for presentations, charts, spreadsheets, or any collaborative documents being discussed.
This dual-display approach prevents the overlap of communication and content, which is common in single-screen setups. Executives and teams can now maintain eye contact with virtual attendees while referencing documents or visuals on a separate display, leading to more productive and engaging meetings.
The dual screens are mounted in a clean, symmetrical layout that complements the sleek modern design of the boardroom. Cables are routed internally to maintain a professional, clutter-free appearance, helping to maintain the high-end aesthetic expected by a firm like Anchor Capital.
Crystal Clear Audio with Strategic Microphone Coverage
One of the unique challenges of equipping a large boardroom is ensuring even and reliable microphone coverage for all participants—no matter where they are seated. To meet this challenge at Anchor Capital, we installed two professional-grade conferencing microphones positioned to cover the full length of the large boardroom table.
These microphones are designed to capture speech clearly from all angles, ensuring that remote attendees can hear every participant without the need to lean forward or repeat themselves. The result is a natural conversational flow, much like in a face-to-face discussion, even when conducted over video conference.
Each microphone was tested and tuned to the room’s acoustics, minimizing echo and background noise, which is especially important in a high-ceiling corporate environment like this one.
Intelligent Table Integration for Media and Connectivity
A standout feature of the Anchor Capital boardroom installation is the integrated connectivity system built directly into the table. A pop-up media panel, strategically positioned at the center of the table, provides access to multiple media input options. This includes HDMI, USB, and auxiliary ports—allowing presenters to quickly connect their laptops or other devices without having to leave their seats or call for technical assistance.
To further enhance usability while maintaining aesthetics, the table legs were customized to house both the conferencing computer and network switches. This allowed us to conceal all major hardware components within the furniture itself, resulting in a streamlined, minimalist look. All access panels are discreet and easy to reach, making the system not only beautiful but also practical and intuitive.
Professional Execution for a National Rollout
The project at Anchor Capital was part of a broader effort by Mitech to upgrade communication infrastructure across several locations. Our ability to execute this vision consistently—while tailoring each setup to the unique requirements of each site—was a testament to our technical planning and attention to detail.
At Anchor Capital, the design had to reflect not just functionality, but also the brand’s image: polished, forward-thinking, and professional. Our team coordinated with designers, IT departments, and executive assistants to ensure that everything—from microphone performance to screen resolution to cable management—aligned with the highest standards.
Elevating the Meeting Experience at Anchor Capital
The completed boardroom installation at Anchor Capital is a perfect example of how modern AV systems can elevate day-to-day business operations. With crystal-clear audio, dual-display video conferencing, and sleek, integrated connectivity features, this boardroom is fully equipped to handle everything from daily check-ins to high-stakes investor meetings.
More importantly, it does so without disrupting the visual or physical flow of the room—something we pride ourselves on delivering with every installation.
