Project Overview
Toyota Racing Development approached us with a need for a comprehensive AV/Technology package for their 2nd-floor gym area. The goal was to enhance their facilities with a modern, high-quality audio and video system that could handle various multimedia needs, including wireless presentations and digital video distribution.
Objectives
- Install a virtual matrix video system using SVSI digital video encoders and decoders.
- Implement wireless presentation capabilities.
- Provide high-quality audio throughout the gym area.
- Ensure easy control and integration with existing IT infrastructure.
Solution Provided
The solution was meticulously designed to meet the client’s needs and included the following components:
- Video System:
- 5 AMX NMX-ENC-N1122A SVSI Digital Video Encoders installed in the 2nd-floor MDF.
- 15 AMX NMX-DEC-N1222A SVSI Digital Video Decoders installed at each of the owner-furnished displays, creating a virtual matrix video system.
- 2 Kramer VIA-CONNECT2 Wireless Presentation Appliances for video casting from two owner-furnished iPads.
- Audio System:
- 4 JBL Control 30 Surface Mount 3-Way Speakers driven by a Crown 2-channel 1250W power amplifier.
- Biamp Tesira AI Digital Audio Server for audio management.
- Bluetooth Wall Plate Interface for a “bring your own device” input into the system.
- Control System:
- AMX NX-1200 Central Controller with touch panels loaded onto the aforementioned iPads using Touch Panel Cloud licenses.
- Integration:
- The video portion of the system utilized the building’s IT cabling infrastructure to connect the encoders and decoders back to the owner-furnished switch.
