Extron ControlScript 协助UNCW 技术人员为最新的教学楼提供视音频解决方案

Anaheim, California (April 13, 2022) - University of North Carolina Wilmington – UNCW's newest and largest academic building, Veterans Hall, needed to be filled with flexible spaces that would support Active Learning and Hybrid Distance Education. Their Integrated Educational Technology team knew the traditional way of large matrix switching cabinets and standalone control systems wasn’t going to meet their need, so they decided to go with an AV over IP solution and chose an Extron NAV system that would eventually span six floors with 205 endpoints tied back to a single Navigator. Because they needed unique and flexible systems, UNCW programmed the system using Extron ControlScript to realize their vision for the building.

"Without the flexibility of Extron ControlScript, the Veterans Hall AV systems would simply have not operated with the ease and versatility UNCW needed," says Richard Blaylock, CTS-I, AV Systems Engineer, Integrated Education Technologies, University of North Carolina Wilmington.

Dynamic variables, object-oriented programming, smart use of GUI and code interconnections, and access to things like event handlers and TCP/IP client-server functionality all factored into making a building-wide system that not only worked but has continued to work well for over a year of high-stakes use. UNCW has already gone on to leverage ControlScript in other projects, including upgrading existing Distance Education control rooms, a refit of a three-way divisible ballroom, the audio control system for the main basketball coliseum, a film studies post-production computer lab, and a new 4K digital cinema.
