County of Fresno project profile

The newly installed video wall in the Performance Arts Center (PAC) at Irvine Village College (IVC) elevates presentations, boosts engagement, and updates communication, playing a crucial role in enhancing campus experiences and promoting academic excellence.

Project Description

This extensive project entails AV integration, installation, and programming, with a specific focus on Crestron Programming across 60 rooms including classrooms, boardrooms, conference rooms, and training facilities. The installation of new AV technology is accompanied by the provision of fully functional audio-visual solutions tailored to the unique specifications and needs of each room. The project encompasses supply, installation, and programming services to ensure seamless functionality and optimal user experience throughout the diverse spaces.

The Challenge

This project involves the installation of audio-visual systems in multiple rooms, each tailored to meet specific needs and functionalities. One particularly challenging aspect revolves around the validation of the pre-installed cables, as they were laid by a third-party contractor. The verification process is intricate and demanding, primarily due to the diverse nature of the rooms and their unique requirements. Ensuring seamless integration and compatibility across all systems poses a considerable challenge, necessitating meticulous planning and thorough testing procedures to guarantee optimal performance and functionality in each room.

Technologies and Solutions Implemented

1. AV Integration Across Diverse Rooms

AV integration involves the primary task of installing audio-visual systems across 60 varied rooms. Each room requires unique configurations to meet specific needs, such as classrooms, conference rooms, and auditoriums. The installation process includes careful planning and execution to ensure that the AV systems are seamlessly integrated into each space, providing optimal functionality and user experience.

2. Customized Crestron Programming & AVC

This phase focuses on customizing and programming Crestron systems to meet the distinct requirements of various spaces. Crestron programming enables tailored control and automation of AV equipment, enhancing user convenience and efficiency. Additionally, the implementation of AVC (Audio-Visual Control) solutions further optimizes AV functionality, ensuring that each room is equipped with the necessary tools for seamless audio-visual communication and presentation.

3. Verification, Coordination, and Integration

This category addresses the challenges of verifying pre-installed cables, coordinating with IT for network alignment, and seamlessly integrating AV equipment with existing resources. Documentation is crucial in addressing verification challenges, offering a comprehensive record of cable layouts and connections. Coordination with IT professionals ensures alignment between network ports and IP addresses, facilitating smooth communication and connectivity. Ultimately, the seamless integration of AV equipment with allocated resources ensures efficient operation and maximizes the utility of the installed systems across all rooms.

Project Outcome

To overcome the challenges with cable verification, we focused on thorough documentation and collaboration. We worked closely with the IT team to ensure that the audio-visual equipment aligned with the network setup. This involved discussing the network port configurations and IP address needs for each device. By coordinating effectively and keeping clear records, we ensured a seamless integration of AV systems with the existing network infrastructure.
