Virginia Beach Delta Full Distributed Hotel AV
Challenge:
A hotel client of ours was upgrading their entire building to be branded a Marriott.
This name holds high standards in everything that they do including their Audio Video capabilities.
Needing a top-of-the-line AV system that worked for all of their common areas was key in achieving approval status with Marriott and seemed like a big challenge for the client until we stepped in.
Solutions:
This extensive design included a distributed audio system through a QSC Core 510i and a distributed video system through a Crestron Digital Media Switcher that spanned the entire first floor, of the hotel.
This was achieved by installing over 100 speakers in 23 unique zones allowing 4 channels of background music, 12 channels of Shure wireless microphone audio and 6 AtteroTech remote input plates sources to be heard across all 23 zones or any combination within.
The centralized system included 8 private conference rooms, each with their own in room AV capabilities. The centralized system also included 4 separate banquet halls that could be combined into one large space or be ran independent of each other allowing the maximum ROI on rented event space.
System:
Equipment used in the installation included:
QSC Q-SYS Core 510i: This was used to handle all audio routing for audio signal paths.
Crestron Digital Media Switcher: Crestron is usually our go-to for easy to use and reliable switching.
Shure Wireless Microphone System: Installed to have 12 channels of wireless microphone audio.
AtteroTech Remote Input Plates: These were used to enable all sources to be heard across all 23 zones or to create whatever configuration the end-user desired.
Crestron Remote HDMI Input Plates: These were used to matrix full HD video to any combination of the large format HD projector in the banquet halls.
Crestron Automation: Installed to allow managers to effortlessly control this complex AV system both from a hard-wired panel in the AV rack room as well as through their personal, wireless iDevices.
The Impact:
The client was estatic with their top-of-the-line AV system upgrade from Crunchy Tech. They gained 8 private conference rooms each with their own in-room AV system, and 4 banquet halls that could be combined into one large space or used independently. We were able to design, implement, program and commission a common area wide system which resulted in an approved status to become a Marriott property.
Metrics:
40%
Increase in efficiency and gaining approval status with Marriott for the system due to increase capabilities.
