Extron NAV AVoIP provides local court with AV routing and control
The officials at McLennan County courtrooms in Waco, Texas have employed integrator Brazos Media Technologies to design and install an AV systems around NAV Pro AV over IP and control systems from Extron.

Brazos proof-of-concept installation went into a mid-sized courtroom on an upper floor of the historic structure built in 1901. The new NAV and control systems provide a more sophisticated AV system that enhances and streamlines courtroom proceedings by increasing AV functionality while enabling complete flexibility to route signals over the local network.

The pilot courtroom, used for both criminal and civil cases, underwent a significant technological upgrade. In addtion to the NAV system, the project included an advanced control system, expansion of the sound system, and integration of additional monitors and displays at the judge’s bench, witness stand, jury box, attorney tables, and other areas. The NAV system enables source routing from the PCs at the judge's bench, the prosecution table, and the defense table, a document camera at the lectern for hardcopy display, and a PTZ camera system that supports Zoom/Teams calls, such as testimony from an expert witness at an authorised remote location.

The presiding judge has complete control of audio and video distribution within the courtroom using the TouchLink Pro tabletop touchpanel at the bench. It also enables content preview prior to selectable distribution to one or more displays. To lay the needed cabling, Brazos made discreet modifications to the floor and the platform under the Judge’s bench. The cabling was run between the floor and the ceiling of the courtroom below.
