Maple Heights was looking to upgrade the existing streaming infrastructure in both their local high school’s Athletic Center and the Board of Education facility. Working with Sam Avellone, from NPI Audio Visual Solutions, they were able to do exactly that. 

First, the goal for the Maple Heights Board of Education was to provide a live streaming platform that was available to members who were unable to attend and wished to watch live online and the ability to archive their meetings to view them later.

The Board of Education quickly found JVC’s KY-PZ200N PTZ camera’s plug-and-play capabilities to be intuitive, the image quality impressive, and the ability to use multiple presets for the PTZ cameras a big plus. Individual presets for each of the council’s chairs and podium allowed the camera operator to access a variety of angles instantaneously, providing a more dynamic viewing experience.

“The optics are superior with JVC cameras, I will never compromise the quality of the image because of the name on the camera,” By Sam Avellone, NPI Audio Visual Solutions

“The optics are superior with JVC cameras, I will never compromise the quality of the image because of the name on the camera,” Avellone states. “We have worked with other brands and found with some the image quality is inferior, pixelated, and when you’re doing broadcast, especially when streaming, you’ve got to have a good quality image.”

Next on the agenda was Maple Heights’ Athletic Center. Choosing JVC’s PTZ cameras, controller and JVC’s KM-IP8S4 video switcher allowed them to easily pair the facility’s new video boards with the center’s video control console and stream to the web.

Customers see the difference between a good stream and a bad stream. There are three things that make a good stream: superior quality video, high quality audio and animated graphics. Avellone finds that the biggest compliment to a customer’s satisfaction is repeated business. He has done multiple installations for schools, houses of worship, and sports facilities using JVC Professional Video.
