RIT opts for DM NVX AVoIP technology for its new student space

Crestron DM NVX AV-over-IP has become a standard at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and for its new space in the Shed it has once again opted for this technology that has allowed it to improve assisted learning systems to add advanced video technology in specific applications.

He Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) aimed to create an inclusive and technologically advanced space within its new edificio Shed to respond to the diverse needs of students. This space needed to be integrated with the rest of the faculty to maintain coherence and remain easy to use.. Crestron technology was once again the chosen option for this project.

The integrator Kinly had previously worked with RIT, which allowed him to trust his team for the design and integration of the Shed project, betting on the DM NVX AV-over-IP technology from Crestron, since this was already incorporated into the school and into the audiovisual system.

“We wanted it to be a place where students could accelerate their concepts and innovations through collaboration and exploration.. Crestron technology has allowed us to bring new capabilities to students and classrooms”, explains David Munson, president of the RIT.

Integration of Crestron technology

The Shed building allows students to explore multiple interests and consider what is possible when combining these.

Houses creation spaces, teamwork, dance studios, rehearsal rooms, 27 new classrooms, a community sign language center, deaf studies and a performing arts theater.

The building, that transforms the center of campus, highlights students and faculty and allows them to think laterally, be creative and apply what you have learned in the classroom, while serving students with accessibility requirements.

Crestron DM NVX AV-over-IP was introduced in a previous project and has become the standard. The implementation was done to ensure the security of multicast environments in the future and to ensure that broadcasts are transmitted across the campus in future applications and projects..

The atrium has a video wall of 7 meters high and 6 wide that is connected to Crestron DM NVX technology systems. This screen displays ads and messages or streams live events. Most large classrooms and conference rooms rely on multiple presentation systems with seven laser projectors recessed into the ceiling..

He software Crestron Flex for Zoom is available in each classroom for videoconferencing, together with DM NVX technology, to share dynamic content across your facility.

The microphones Shure They are on all the tables, as well as handheld microphones for larger conferences. Smaller classrooms have Led display technology that takes advantage of DM NVX technology to share and distribute content. Crestron scheduling boards are outside each classroom to show whether the room is occupied or not.

The maker spaces also use DM NVX technology and laser projection, allowing engineering students to collaborate on internal and campus-wide projects.

Different equipment, like him multidisciplinary robotics club, the aerospace and electric vehicle design team, They use these spaces to continue with innovation and class work. The maker showcase area is where engineering students finalize and demonstrate their projects. Glass doors can open the entire space to the atrium to facilitate presentations and large events.

The dance studio incorporates DM NVX technology, that transforms the dancers' background to fit the theme of each routine.

The music room has a fully integrated laser projection and Led screen. Crestron touch screens, like the projection ones, lighting and audio, have been incorporated into large spaces and classrooms to control the environment.

RIT also uses technology operations management platform Crestron XiO Cloud for device management and remote monitoring.

“We took the opportunity to support different groups and address previous challenges on campus, one of them, the limited availability of learning styles for students who are deaf or hard of hearing.”, states Meghan Van Zyl, global brand and digital marketing manager at Kinly. “By working with Crestron solutions, “We were able to enhance assisted learning systems to add advanced video technology for applications such as sign language interpretation in class.”,

“Crestron DM NVX technology has given students the ability to communicate and collaborate effectively while staying on track and continuing to learn across campuses.”, comment Chico Dominguez, Senior Vice President of Technical Operations at Kinly.

RIT Exploration and Development Student Lounge Combines Technology, art and design under one roof. With flexible spaces that encourage and stimulate creativity, collaboration and discovery, the Shed is designed to serve every student.

“We loved working with RIT. The possibilities are endless when it comes to technology and student growth.. Crestron has been a great help in providing the technology necessary for students to learn more in their studies”, afirm Meghan Van Zyl.
