Datapath Drives Dynamic Content at Ron Clark Academy

The controller Datapath VSN acts as a signal router for the 4K content displayed on the screen NanoLumens dvLED Ron Clark Ceiling-mounted.

Located in Southeast Atlanta (USA.), the Ron Clark Academy is a not-for-profit high school that has received national and international recognition for its success in creating a dynamic learning environment, in which academic excellence and leadership are promoted.

The vision of the Ron Clark Academy is to transform classrooms around the world by demonstrating innovative methods and techniques that come to life with the use of audio and video integration.

The Specialized Integrator Baker Audio Visual has installed a Circular Led screen of NanoLumens, of 16 meters in diameter, on the roof of the Ron Clark Academy, as an educational and performance aid for students and educators at the school.

The backbone of the system is configured with a 4x4K media server from Datapath, A Video Wall Controller, Amplifiers, DSP, servers and more.

The choice of Datapath for this project was based on the ability of its technology to support custom resolutions and timings on its capture card inputs and graphics card outputs 4K/60 UHD commercial -called Image4K-, as required.

The Datapath Controller VSN Acts as manager, Signal Router and Video Processor, combining personalized high-resolution multimedia content and more conventional video sources on the NanoLumens display dvLED Ceiling-mounted.

This large circular Led visual system is a marvel not only when used for educational purposes, but when it shows surprising scenes of dragons flying and when they seem to watch this space.

“This project encapsulates all the good things about AV: to provide an excellent commitment to education and inspire the next generation," says Greg Dieckhaus, Datapath Sales Manager-. The virtual ceiling looks amazing and we're happy to help make this possible with our video processors and graphics cards”.

As this executive adds, “Datapath VSN controllers are often considered only for control rooms, but this implementation shows that they can also support creative applications such as the one made at the Ron Clark Academy”.
