To better engage their K-12 students, the Compton Unified School District (CUSD) in Southern California offers an esports programme.
As part of this programme, technologies have been built into the CUSD esports labs on the various school campuses to enable seamless presentation of the gaming content, including instantaneous content updates triggered by student reactions and interactions at multiple stations.
An Extron XTP System is at the heart of each esports lab installation.
DI Technology designed and implemented the esports gaming computers, and EKC Enterprises designed and deployed the AV switching and distribution solution.
The AV system design encompasses delivery of 4K video content and selectable audio signals from a production-quality computer system to multiple large-screen displays.
The XTP Systems provide high-quality switching, maintaining AV signal integrity and image quality throughout the session or tournament.
As an example, a recent tournament held at the Davis Middle School esports lab shows how an Extron XTP II CrossPoint modular matrix switcher routes selectable combinations of gaming video, clear sound, player statistics, and more to the room’s five 86" 4K commercial displays. Extron XTP HDMI scaling receivers deliver the AV and inserted control signals to the displays. Content is also sent to the show-casting system during tournaments. An Extron IP Link Pro control processor used in combination with the 10" TouchLink Pro tabletop touchpanel located at the production station facilitates AV system operation.
