The National Veterans Resource Center – NVRC at Syracuse University, which provides US service members, veterans, and their families with academic offerings and helps with supportive programs, has chosen Extron AV products for its latest project.
Housed within the Daniel and Gayle D’Aniello Building, it is situated between the university and the Syracuse VA Medical Center. Designed along ADA guidelines for universal accessibility, the NVRC provides ready access to resources for students, staff, and visitors, regardless of their physical abilities.
For example, the installation includes an Alternative Learning System - ALS system and sign language computer-aided real-time transcription - CART displays with cameras to support the hearing impaired. To meet these and other requirements for the LEED-certified building, it includes a variety of Extron technologies including DTP systems, audio products, and control systems.
A 10x8, 8x6, or 8x4 Extron DTP CrossPoint 4K presentation matrix switcher is the backbone of the AV system for each room. This unit provides signal distribution, video scaling, audio DSP, audio amplification and includes an integrated control processor. One of the many features that instructors, guest speakers, and students value is its switching transitions.
This adds polish to a presentation and enables veterans and other students to build and practice their professional presentation skills. The DTP matrix switcher’s 100-watt audio amplifier drives the ceiling speakers. For rooms with more extensive sound requirements, an Extron ProDSP digital matrix processor such as the DMP 128 Plus C AT that transports audio via Dante mixes microphone and program audio and then tailors the sound for room acoustics. Rooms include one or more TouchLink Pro touchpanels, MediaLink controllers, and/or eBUS button panels that work in conjunction with an Extron IP Link Pro control processor to provide convenient, user-friendly control.
