4 x 1 STEREO AUDIO SWITCHING IN A CLASSROOM

Remote Source Selection and Volume Control

The classroom is equipped with three A/V sources (Computer, DVD and VCR) and an audio-only input on a wall plate. Staff selects the audio source and sets the level through the RDL RU-ASX4DR Remote Controlled Audio Selector using a D-RC4M Four Channel Remote Control and a D-RLC10M Remote Level Control. All video signals are run directly to the projector which provides video source selection. Sources may be muted by simply de-selecting the active input at the D-RC4M or by operating the MUTE switch on the D-RLC10M. The D-CIJ3D Consumer Input Jack Panel is used to balance the stereo signal of an MP3 player or any consumer source and to provide galvanic isolation.

Extron NAV Pro AVoIP System Stimulates Active Learning at Endicott College

When Endicott College in Massachusetts wanted to identify the best technology to support active learning classrooms throughout campus, the AV staff selected the Team Building classroom as a pilot room for a proof of concept design. The intent for the new design was to streamline communication within the room and facilitate collaboration over the campus network. The system needed to support easy sharing within a local collaboration group as well as the ability to share any source to all displays in the room.

Endicott teamed with Integrated Multimedia Solutions, LLC to design and deploy Extron products, with the NAV Pro AV over IP system facilitating the interactive learning environment. The Team Building room proof-of-concept installation was integrated and commissioned in only three days. This preparatory work combined with the integration-friendly features, built-in capabilities, and compatibility among the Extron products streamlined the process.  Learn More

Wake Forest University School of Business Farrell Hall Gets an AV Refresh with Extron Control & NAV Pro AV over IP

Farrell Hall, opened in 2013, is the 130,000 square foot home of the Wake Forest University School of Business. By 2021, the non-Extron HDBaseT AV systems first installed in the building were becoming unreliable. For a building that serves students literally day and night, that was unacceptable. Administrators wanted to restore stability to the AV technology in a manner that replicated the original design

Jay Bunthoff, Multimedia Manager in Wake Forest’s Information Services department, worked with Winston-Salem based pro AV integrator Recursav, LLC to perform a 3-year phased retrofit of existing AV distribution and control systems in the building. Extron AV switching, distribution, and control systems, anchored by NAV Systems, were selected for the retrofit to enhance reliability and to provide scalability for future growth. Learn More

extron uc 303

 

The UCS 303 is a powerful collaboration and presentation switcher designed to meet the unique needs of unified communications meeting spaces. Three inputs support connection of USB, HDMI, and DisplayPort sources, while five USB device ports connect to peripherals such as USB cameras and microphones at data rates up to 10 Gbps. The USB‑C input supports video/audio, USB data, and also provides 60W of power to charge a user’s laptop computer.

extron ucs 303 front

Flexible Switching

For more complex room setups that may want to switch the USB devices separately from the AV inputs, the UCS 303 offers USB breakaway switching. This enables flexibility in switching by allowing the HDMI and DisplayPort input video and audio to be switched to the display without the corresponding USB data bus.

extron ucs 303 back

Intuitive Collaboration

The user‑friendly UCS 303 is easy to use in any meeting space, including simple rooms without a control system. The auto switching feature can be configured to prioritize inputs if more than one laptop or computer is connected at the same time.
