TSI’s first step in providing a seamless technology solution was to design a fully managed network system which could handle the communication for the Kinexon and RSPCT systems while also allowing for AV system control and building Internet usage.
TSI selected Ubiquiti networking hardware for the building network infrastructure. The Ubiquiti gateway, network switches, and access points allowed TSI to set up separate Virtual LANs (VLAN) and wireless networks with unique SSIDs all while utilizing a single network system. These features allowed the ability to provide staff and guests with high performing Internet access while protecting the bandwidth required by Kinexon and RSPCT.
Thanks to the strategic planning and coordination with Kinexon and RSPCT, TSI was able to install a networking infrastructure that was fully tested, certified, and configured in advance, which shortened the installation and commissioning time required by the manufacturers.
The final step was to develop an audiovisual system that would allow the shot and player statistics from Kinexon and RSPCT to be displayed in real time through multiple zones. TSI installed six ceiling-mounted displays near selected baskets, which allow for the viewing of real time player and shot information for that basket. Display Shield TV enclosures from Protective Enclosures Company were used to protect the displays at the baskets.
TSI also utilized TV Shield enclosures from Protective Enclosure Company for the displays placed at the dribbling simulator to protect the displays and systems from stray basketballs. A laser light source projector from Panasonic was installed in a Chief projector enclosure over the gym floor, which allows the LHBA team to display weekly and daily session statistics as well as training materials to larger camps and special events. The AV system is controlled from a central user-friendly interface from Crestron Control Systems.
