Kenyon College, a college in Ohio has recently expanded to include three multi-story buildings as part of its new West Quad.
The buildings offer presentation equipment in over 100 classrooms, as well as other learning and meeting spaces.
The AV systems include one or more computers, at least one video projection system or large screen display, and AV connectivity available on walls and furniture. Many rooms are equipped with additional sources, such as an optical media player, a document camera, webcams, one or more Smart Pen displays, and Apple TV with screen casting.
Certain rooms also provide lecture capture and streaming capabilities. Designed by NV5 and deployed by Radiant Technology, the West Quad incorporates a range of Extron products and technologies. The buildings include AV switching systems, consisting of DTP and IP Link Pro control, and NAV Pro AV over IP systems for linking within and between spaces.
A range of other Extron equipment is deployed to provide complete AV systems. In some spaces, Extron DTP CrossPoint presentation matrix switchers provide switching within the room while connecting to the NAV system. DMP Plus Series DSP processors are paired with XPA Series power amplifiers for audio reproduction.
AV system control is provided by a variety of TouchLink Pro touchpanels in a range of sizes and form factors. Mounted on lecterns, walls, and/or other furniture, the touchpanels work in conjunction with an Extron IP Link Pro control processor that monitors and controls each AV system. To manage bookings for reservable spaces, an TouchLink Room Scheduling Panel is installed outside of the door. Professors and staff can view room availability in real-time and reserve the space by following the on-screen prompts.
