AV Integration Success Stories

Friends and parents of the Saratoga Springs Little League were looking to give their players a big league feel to the game, while improving the audio quality of their current system due to complaints. Local residents complained that the audio was often too loud, not good, and was directed at their houses.

Parents as well as myself volunteered to make improvements in audio, while also making it easy for any parent to setup and use. After other similar situations in youth sports where parents looked to get more involved in their child’s overall experience, birthed the idea to develop the PA-EXMIX. A simple to use product that allows anyone to connect a microphone and audio source (typically phone) to mix audio while sending the audio over a single category cable to a receiver which is connected to an amplifier. When the mixing dial on the transmitter is all the way to the left, only microphone audio would be heard. When the mixing dial was set all the way to the right, only the audio source would be heard. When set to the middle, there would be a 50/50 mix which can be adjusted accordingly.

Once samples were received and the product was good to go, families volunteered for the installation, rented a lift and started the install. Since, multiple parents and families have been able to use the system make the most of their children’s ball games, make announcements, and conduct special ceremonies.

At Mevlin Brewing they wanted content that showed off their Ninja-themed venue. The 17×12 audio/video distribution system allows for Ninja movies to play all the time. Employees can effortlessly switch sources on any TV when local sporting events are on.

“The initial simplicity of setup is what appealed to me most. It’s very straightforward and manageable, and it’s also a cost-efficient solution. I like how you’re able to distribute the video throughout multiple sources without having to get too deep into the network switch.” – Jose Rivas, Integrity Wire Solutions

Milwaukee Avenue’s newest hot spot, The Old Plank, is a sports bar is equipped with several TVs for sports viewing, garage-style doors, an outdoor patio with fire pits, and locally brewed craft beer and cocktails. Because the modern agave and whiskey themed sports bar houses 21 TVs with eight different sources, ideal for when several popular sports teams are playing at the same time, or when a DJ is on-site, Hani realized he needed an effortless solution that his employees – primarily bartenders and wait staff – would be able to easily operate to switch between the various sources on the fly.

The EVO-IP HDMI over IP system simplified the process for managing, transmitting, and receiving AV signals and controlling hundreds of devices over a local network. Unlike other similar solutions on the market, EVO-IP is also fully customizable, and easy to design, integrate and install so it would offer the perfect solution for efficiently routing video to several locations at The Old Plank.

The Houston Met Fitness Club features 9 displays in a 3×3 video wall. Presets allow for the video wall to be configured in several ways including: a single source on all 9 displays as a video wall, 9 sources individually on each display (1 to 1), and one source set as a 2×2 video wall in the top left with individual sources on single displays on the surrounding 5 displays.

Custom text was created to be overlaid on top of the video display to notify members of messages, such as “the club will be closing in 15 minutes.”
