Duke University's JB Duke Hotel Upgrades Classrooms with State-of-the-Art AV Systems
The JB Duke Hotel and Conference Center in Durham, NC, owned by Duke University, has received a significant upgrade to its audiovisual systems. The Glaxo and Executive Classrooms now boast state-of-the-art technology, featuring Extron NAV Pro AV over IP for signal switching and distribution.
The hotel's classrooms serve as hybrid learning venues for Duke University's Fuqua School of Business Executive MBA program. The program uses the hotel's facilities for short-burst intensive residencies, with three-day weekend sessions on campus followed by distance sessions. The upgraded AV systems cater to this teaching format, enabling seamless integration of in-person and remote learning.
The core of the new system is an Extron control processor, managing AV system control. It's supported by AES67/Dante-enabled audio amplifiers and an audio DSP Processor, handling core audio functions. The tech booth in both classrooms houses an 8x8 DXP HD 4K PLUS matrix switcher and core components of the NAV Pro AV over IP network. Extron validated the design, checked network switches, and configured encoders and decoders remotely during system commissioning.
David Johnson, CHTP, Area Director, Information Technology at JB Duke Hotel, specified NAV Pro AV over IP for its flexibility. This allows for easy integration with various devices and platforms, catering to the diverse needs of the Executive MBA program and third-party events.
The JB Duke Hotel and Conference Center's upgraded audiovisual systems in the Glaxo and Executive Classrooms are set to enhance the learning experience for Duke University's Fuqua School of Business Executive MBA students. The flexible, state-of-the-art technology ensures the hotel remains a top choice for both educational programs and global travelers.
