Extron NAV brings an AV-over-IP upgrade to Duke University
Extron’s NAV Pro AV over IP is at the heart of an overhaul of AV teaching systems at Duke University School of Law in Durham, North Carolina, USA.

The upgrade spanned three lecture halls and a moot courtroom with a system that
provides full streaming and production capabilities from a broadcast calibre control room.

All spaces share a
common AV system design. PTZ cameras, guest laptops, Blu-ray players, and Apple TV feed into
the AV over IP network via NAV encoders. The rooms have projectors and flat panel
displays, fed from the AV over IP network by NAV scaling decoders. NAV decoders also feed
AV content to Duke’s Panopto enterprise platform for recording and sharing lecture video. A MediaPort
200 scaling bridge connects a conferencing PC running a UC soft codec to the AV-over-IP
network for teleconferencing. The rooms are equipped with 12-in tabletop TouchLink Pro touchpanels and IPCP Pro
xi control processors that allow users to control AV system functions, as well as room lighting.
