CCS installed over 140 55” NEC video wall monitors in a variety of configurations. The majority are 2 x 2 systems in Willows Bar, Pima Bar and Grill, and in the Bingo Hall.
In addition, CCS installed two 2 x 8 configurations in the Bingo Hall and an overhead scoreboard flanked by 2 x 2s hanging from the ceiling.
The goal of the project was to create a state of the art video and audio distribution system for use throughout the property, routing multiple sources to specific displays/zones.
CCS utilized its experience with cutting edge technology found in Magenta Research products and built distribution around a Mondo switch. This allowed them to distribute sources such as satellite TV, keno, digital signage and promotions to various areas throughout the property. Much time was spent understanding the traffic flow and visibility of each display to the clientele.
Areas of the property were also broken into zones for audio distribution and speakers were tapped at different levels and set at different volumes to accommodate the volume of the patrons mixed with the gaming equipment on the floor. Audio visual equipment was also installed in conference rooms located in the back-of-house to allow staff members to more readily present, collaborate and discuss information.
The goal of the project was to boost the casino’s high definition audio visual system and set them apart from every other casino in New Mexico. Key focus areas were the Legends Theatre and the Envy Nightlife space, all housed within the Route 66 Casino.
CCS gave the Legends Theatre at Route 66 a massive overhaul of its video projection system—installing a 30-foot wide screen and three high definition projection systems, which were upgraded to 1080 source and switching. For the Envy Nightclub project, CCS implemented a top-of-the-line sound system featured eight full range high performance loud speakers and an amplifier indoors as well as four full range outdoor speakers and another amplifier.
The New England Aquarium is a global leader in ocean exploration and marine conservation. With more than 1.3 million visitors a year, the Aquarium is one of the premier visitor attractions in Boston and a major public education resource for the region.
CCS Presentation Systems was hired at the start of 2016 to help with audio and video enhancements for the aquarium’s New Balance Foundation Marine Mammal Center, Simons IMAX Theater, and Main Building’s public address (PA) system.
While discussing the objectives for the recent renovations, Robert Loyot, director of information technology, said, “Over the last year I tasked CCS with the job of overhauling three significant audiovisual systems at the NEAQ. The CCS team faced several challenges associated with these projects. As one might expect, these systems had been through various upgrades and enhancements over their respective lifecycles, and CCS had to do quite a bit of homework in order to safely decommission, gather proper updated requirements, design, and finally, deploy new systems. All three projects were total successes and the many stakeholders that were touched by this work were completely satisfied. CCS is my go-to AV integrator at this point.”
The Marine Mammal Center’s goal was to update the audio and video system. “The MMC team was looking for new functionality from their system to improve their interaction with the audience,” said Craig Wiley, CCS’s technical operations manager. “They also aspired to be ready for a more interactive experience with potential ‘virtual’ attend-ees in the future. With this in mind, we chose products that were the most flexible, as unforeseen system needs were bound to happen.”
To accomplish this, CCS began with troubleshooting the existing systems and interviewing the folks working in the area to understand their needs. The devised plan for system upgrades began with rebuilding and updating the aquarium’s existing equipment rack for ease of use, followed with improved quality of audio for the Marine Mammal trainers and presenters.
