San Antonio, TX
Project Overview
The Center for Simulation Innovation features a 7,300 sq. ft. simulation hospital and a 6,500 sq. ft. skills lab designed for training students and healthcare professionals. To support high-fidelity medical training, the university required a modern medical simulation AV system capable of delivering reliable video, audio, and assessment tools.
The Challenge
The UTSA Simulation Lab relied on an aging analog camera system that delivered poor video quality and inconsistent audio capture. These limitations made it difficult to meet accreditation standards and hindered instructors’ ability to observe and assess students. The facility needed dependable, high-fidelity clinical training AV systems to support a modern simulation environment.
The Solution
Ford AV upgraded the facility with a fully digital, healthcare-focused simulation AV system, including:
- High-resolution digital camera systems for medical simulation
- Advanced microphones and audio clarity improvements
- Streamlined control system for session and simulation management
- Integrated simulation learning and assessment software
- Recording and playback tools for training review
- Unified healthcare AV integration across all simulation spaces
These upgrades provided faculty with reliable, real-time observation and improved training accuracy.
Technologies Used in This Simulation Project
- High-resolution digital camera systems
- Medical simulation audio and microphone solutions
- AV control systems and touch panels
- Recording, playback, and evaluation software

The Results
UTSA now operates a fully digitized and accredited simulation center. The upgraded system delivers sharper video, clearer audio, and seamless session control—giving instructors better insight and enhancing hands-on learning. The modernized technology supports consistent, high-quality medical training experiences.
Conclusion
Ford AV’s technology solutions helped UTSA elevate their Simulation Lab to the next level, enabling them to achieve accreditation and establish a Center of Excellence. The result is a modern, high-tech learning environment that empowers students with hands-on training to prepare for real-world medical challenges.
