16 AV Installations from 2018 That AV Integration Firms Can Learn From
Scouting Report
Technology solutions integrator NorCom has worked with the Cincinnati Reds’ The Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati since 2014, and was tasked to design and implement a visual system that would put the stadium on the cutting edge.
For the 2017 season, the Cincinnati Reds added a new exclusive Champions Club, the Scouts Club, and the view level bar that all needed a state-of-the-art system to allow the Great American Ball Park to distribute HD video to a range of sources within each space.With the stadium implementing a centralized IT infrastructure, NorCom didn’t hesitate to specify Just Add Power (J+P)’s Ultra HD Over IP products.
Additional screens can be accommodated with another receiver while only another transmitter is needed to distribute each additional new video source. In addition, when screens are upgraded to 4K, only the receiver needs to be switched out, providing the organization with an economical way to transition to emerging formats.
This can be a cost-effective alternative to deploying a large, fixed-format HDBaseT matrix that may not meet future needs. It can also be used in centralized and decentralized designs, or a mixture of both.
Built-in scalers mean every display plays the highest resolution possible with ultra-low latency as sources are instantly switched from one to the next. Other features include HDCP protection, full power over Ethernet (PoE) commercial-grade hardware, multichannel support including high-resolution digital audio formats, RS-232 or IR control of sources, and instant video wall modes for dynamic presentations.
