The Middle Tennessee State University LEVEL🡩Up esports arena draws people from all across campus to the Student Union Building to experience esports action, brought to life by Extron AV technology. The arena boasts 24 gaming PC stations, a coaching station, a shoutcasting booth, a bevy of point-of-view (POV) cameras, large displays, web streaming capability, and a powerful sound system. Tying it all together is a flexible, scalable AV switching and distribution solution based on NAV Pro AV over IP, augmented by Extron streaming media processing, audio DSP processing, and audio amplification. It’s all controlled by an IPCP Pro xi control processor, with user commands entered through TouchLink Pro touchpanels. Extron AV systems are in hundreds of classrooms, conference rooms, and event spaces across MTSU’s campus. It’s not surprising that MTSU tapped Extron for the AV amenities that power the esports action in the LEVEL🡩Up Arena.

Are you an educational institution looking for a budget-friendly way to bring professional polish to your intercollegiate sports broadcasts? Take a look at how Extron NAV® Series helped Elizabeth City State University’s IT team perform a cost-effective in-house design/build of an AV over IP system at Roebuck Stadium. The NAV system distributes AV content from cameras on the football field, displaying play action on screens in the Chancellor Box and on an outdoor LED videowall. The system made it possible for guests in the soundproof Chancellor Box to hear the play action; previously, they could see but not hear activity on the field. Before updating to NAV Pro AVoIP, the old video feed had so much latency that it was noticeably behind the action on the field. NAV eliminated that latency. As a bonus, loopback from the NAV E 121 encoder provides play-by-play audio for the school’s FM radio station game day broadcasts.

“Build it and they will come.” The famous line from the movie Field of Dreams came to mind for Jennifer Unitis, Wake Tech Associate Director of Academic Technologies at Wake Technical Community College when the school became one of the first in North Carolina to establish an esports program to complement its Simulation and Game Development academic degree track. Wake Tech’s IT/AV staff repurposed existing AV systems in a divisible classroom to create an esports arena for their Eagles varsity team. Extron AV products were selected for the project. The strategy was to start small and build capability if the interest was there. The interest is definitely there, with a roster of about 20 players and 3 national championship victories since 2021. A second esports facility now operates on the Research Triangle Park campus. There, the community is invited to join student athletes, getting a taste of the fun and exciting world of esports.
