Command and Control Rooms: Video Walls and Consoles in Pakistan

A control room runs around the clock, and operators need to see everything, hear clearly and stay comfortable through long shifts. Sound Krafted designs and builds command and control rooms, operations centres, monitoring rooms and broadcast master control rooms for government departments, defence and security institutions, utilities, safe-city style projects and corporate operations across Pakistan.

We are a Lahore-based independent system integrator. We combine video walls, operator consoles, acoustics, lighting, AV and ICT in one design, using any brand that fits your requirement and procurement rules.

What a control room project includes

• Video wall: LCD narrow-bezel walls, LED walls or rear-projection cubes, sized for the room and the number of sources.
• Video wall controller: to display cameras, dashboards, maps and computer screens in any layout, and switch layouts with one click.
• Operator consoles and technical furniture: ergonomic consoles with monitor arms, cable management and equipment bays; supervisor desks.
• KVM and signal distribution: so operators can control multiple computers from one desk and send any screen to the wall.
• Audio and communication: intercom, paging, conferencing and recording.
• Acoustics: absorption on walls and ceilings so voices don’t build up into noise in a busy room.
• Lighting: glare-free, dimmable lighting that doesn’t reflect on screens.
• ICT and power: network, racks, UPS and server room integration.
• CCTV integration with your video management system (see our data centre, CCTV and BMS page).

Types of control rooms we build

1. Command and control centres for government, police and security agencies.
2. Operations and dispatch rooms for emergency services and utilities.
3. Network operations centres (NOC) and security operations centres (SOC) for telecom and IT.
4. Monitoring rooms for CCTV, traffic and building management.
5. Broadcast master control rooms (MCR/PCR) for TV and radio.
6. Corporate situation rooms and dashboards for management.

Design principles we follow

• Sightlines: every operator must see the video wall without straining; we calculate wall height, size and viewing angles.
• Ergonomics: consoles designed for long shifts, with correct monitor height and distance.
• Redundancy: critical systems designed with backup power and failover where required.
• Maintenance access: consoles and walls that technicians can service without disrupting operations.
• Quiet rooms: acoustic design and quiet equipment so operators can concentrate and communicate.

Planning for 24/7 operation

Control rooms rarely switch off, so we design for reliability and long shifts:

• Backup power with UPS and generator changeover for the video wall, controller and critical PCs.
• Redundant controllers or processors where the operation cannot stop.
• Heat management, because walls, PCs and racks produce heat that must be removed quietly.
• Lighting and glare control to reduce eye strain over long shifts.
• Operator comfort, including chair choice, console depth and reach to controls.
• Spare parts and support agreements so faults are fixed quickly.

We also plan for growth: extra console positions, spare video wall inputs and rack space, so the room can expand as your operation grows.

We can also upgrade existing control rooms in phases. Old video walls, consoles or controllers are replaced section by section, with temporary displays where needed, so monitoring continues without interruption while the new system is installed and tested.

Video wall price in Pakistan

Price depends on wall size and technology (LCD, LED or cubes), the number and type of sources, the controller, consoles and the level of redundancy. Share your requirements or tender specification and we will propose options.
