Purpose

Describe what this room is used for and what this AV setup needs to accomplish.

Operator Positions

Operator Position Discipline Primary responsibility

Systems in This Room

System Purpose Primary operator position

Equipment Inventory

System Diagrams

Add inline Mermaid block or signal-flow diagrams here. Prefer Mermaid in Markdown first, then add annotated photos/screenshots when physical identification matters.

Recommended structure:

  1. One high-level room diagram
  2. Smaller per-system diagrams
  3. A supplemental physical-location diagram when helpful

Use signal flow as the primary lens. Put exact input/output numbers mainly in the smaller per-system diagrams rather than in the high-level overview.
