As part of a technology upgrade, AV systems integrator DSL Sound of Hagerstown, Maryland, installed a Xantech control system consisting of the WIC1200Web Intelligent Controller, two CWTC10Wireless Touch Controllers, CSPLCD64Gin-wall touch panels and a host of IPRS232XtraLink IP modules.
The network-based Xantech components provide full control over the weight rooms' new AV systems, which include an HD Video Matrix system by FSR, 16 55-inch LG plasma monitors that makeup five zones of video, and an extensive audio system throughout the facility, featuring the BiAmp Nexia networked digital audio processor. Xantech's IPRS232 units enable network control of the RS232-based LG monitors; user control is totally accessible via the Xantech CWTC10 10.4-inch WiFi tabletslocated in the weight room itself and in a control rack.
Ricketts Hall is home to U.S.N.A.'s basketball, football and lacrosse team training offices, the locker room for the varsity football team, and the 'strength and conditioning' facility, one of three on campus. Multiple screens over five video zones allow for multiplestreams of content simultaneously, all controlled and distributed by theXantech equipment.
"This is the first time we've deployed the Xantech systems, and they are working wonderfully, especially considering that no one's ever put this advanced level of AV systems control into a weight room before," comments Robert Musser, sales &engineering specialist for DSL Sound. "We were looking for a control solution that was reliable, scalable and affordable, and the WIC1200 succeeded on all counts."
