KERN COMMUNITY COLLEGE PROJECT PROFILE
Kern Community College District (KCCD) is a district in California that oversees several community colleges in the Kern County area. It encompasses institutions such as Bakersfield College, Cerro Coso Community College, and Porterville College. These colleges offer a wide range of academic programs, vocational training, and transfer opportunities for students. KCCD plays a vital role in providing accessible and quality higher education to the local community.
Project Description
The scope of work encompasses various tasks, including but not limited to design, demonstration of existing components, installation of new spotlights with controls, implementation of a new sound system, and integration of technology for remote learning or teaching purposes. Additionally, it involves addressing issues such as repair or replacement of solar inverters, managing wires efficiently, and implementing monitoring systems to ensure smooth operation and performance optimization. The scope of work includes conducting thorough testing and training sessions to ensure that all systems and components function effectively and that staff members are proficient in their operation and maintenance.
The Challenge
The lecture hall is equipped with a diverse array of interrelated systems, resulting in a complex operational environment. Selecting the most efficient alternative products and solutions poses a challenge due to the need to ensure seamless integration with the various existing systems. Moreover, the substitution process is further complicated by the prevalence of Extron systems in other rooms, necessitating careful consideration to maintain compatibility and consistency across the facility.
Technologies and Solutions Used:
- Creston system replacement
- Installation of new spotlights
- Implementation of new sound systems
- Integration of control interfacing
- Installation of projectors
- Wiring setup for enhanced connectivity
- Testing and calibration of all installed equipment
Classroom AV Infrastructure Enhancement: This initiative involves replacing the Creston system, implementing new sound systems, integrating control interfacing, and installing projectors. Additionally, wiring setup for enhanced connectivity and thorough testing and calibration of all installed equipment ensure optimized audio-visual capabilities, fostering interactive and engaging learning environments in classrooms.
Audio-Visual System Optimization: This phase focuses on upgrading classroom AV infrastructure by replacing the Creston system, implementing new sound systems, integrating control interfacing, installing projectors, setting up wiring for enhanced connectivity, and conducting testing and calibration of all installed equipment. These enhancements aim to provide modern audio-visual technology that supports interactive and engaging educational activities in classrooms.
Project Outcome
In addition to addressing the significant issues and concerns surrounding the complexity of the system, we conducted thorough research to identify the most suitable solution. Our meticulous approach involved analyzing various options and considering factors such as compatibility, scalability, and long-term support. Ultimately, the strategic adoption of Crestron replacements for all Extron Video Processing and Control interfacing components was deemed the optimal choice due to Crestron’s renowned reputation for excellent connectivity, reliability, and comprehensive features. This decision ensures not only a seamless transition but also promises enhanced performance and functionality, meeting the diverse needs and demands of the system’s users.
