Project Description:

The goal of this project was to design and install a centralized "Media Center" with 4 to 6 audio/video sources being distributed to 30 different classrooms around the campus.

Key requirements: Distribute high-quality video to each of the classrooms. Allow each classroom to independently select which one of the multiple sources they wish to display. Allow each classroom the ability to control the source equipment: Play, Pause, and channel change commands.

The Solution:

After evaluating several alternatives, the designer chose the CATS (tm) high-performance Audio/Video distribution system from Pragmatic Communications Systems for this project.

The Equipment:

(6) CATS(tm) Transmitters (one for each source)

(4) CATS(tm) Multi-Source, Multi-Zone, Switcher/Routers (providing a total of 32 outputs)

(30) CATS(tm) Receiver (one at each monitor)

Key Advantages:

• High-quality audio and video distribution
• Uses low-cost CAT-5 cables for signal distribution
• Lowers installation time and labor
• Simple "Plug and Play" operation -- No user adjustments needed
• Integrated IR control system allows remote control of router and source equipment

The Result:

This project was successfully designed, installed, and made fully operational. Another satisfied customer!
