This was a large project that relied heavily on the network. We were able to create our own A/V network using 4 Cisco layer 3 network switches and utilizing 5 VLANS. We were also able to utilize the owners’ network infrastructure to connect the network TV system into our A/V network.
Our work for the Jazz training facility consisted of A/V within 2 spaces in the building. The players’ area consists of the gym, weight and training area, players’ lounge and dining area, players’ locker room, bathroom and showers, hydrotherapy area, physical-therapy or trainers’ area, and the massage room.
The staff area includes the coaches’ offices, video bullpen, coaches’ area, coaches’ locker room, classroom, press conference room, media room, and a meeting room.
In most of these areas, there are multiple TV’s, each with their own IPTV Decoder to watch TV or Apple TV. Local HDMI inputs, Bluetooth audio inputs, and Crestron control touch panels made the system easy to use. There are also flush mount and hanging ceiling speakers installed throughout the facility to provide sound.
Each touch panel has custom graphics, specific to the Utah Jazz, and all have been designed to function very similarly as you move from one room to another within the facility.

Video monitors were installed throughout the players training area. These are used not only for entertainment with IPTV at most monitor locations, Apple TV and Crestron AirMedia are also used to connect to trainer’s PC’s or tablets to show players workouts on the displays. This area also includes sound reinforcement for background music, and touch panels to control source input and audio.

This system allows several users to listen to multiple different things in separate areas of the space.

As you enter the players’ lounge area, a touch panel shows a visual representation of the room, making it easy for people to choose the TV they want to control.
Players' bar area
The players’ bar area includes TV's for viewing, Bluetooth inputs for local music sources, a touch panel for control and channel selection, and audio reinforcement.
Players' dining area

Players' lounge
The Jazz organization wanted a high-end feel for their remodel so it was a focus for us as well. They wanted all spaces to feel like home, including the players’ lounge. Having integration that allows users to move around the space and have their music or media easily move around the space with them helped meet that objective.
