UNIVERSIDAD IBEROAMERICANA It’s Under Control® RTI Delivers Easy-to-Use Control of Multi-room A/V System for the Universidad Iberoamericana When the most prestigious university in the Dominican also required master control from a centralized control Republic adds classrooms to its campus, creating the room. And finally, as the system would be used by both non- physical space is just the beginning. The technology used technical teachers and students, ease of use was paramount. in those rooms must represent the school’s high standards for education. So when the Universidad Iberoamericana Musitempo equipped each new classroom with EIKI (UNIBE) added 18 new classrooms to its Francia I building, a projectors and Da-Lite projection screens. Video sources completely automated multi-room A/V system was required include Denon DVD players driven by an Extron twisted pair for a more effective learning experience. To provide it, the video matrix, while BSS Audio™ digital signal processors and university turned to Musitempo, a Dominican Republic- Crown® amplifiers provided the audio. For system automation based specialist in the design, installation, and programming and control, Musitempo relied on solutions from RTI. of automation systems for professional audio, commercial audio, A/V, and high-end residential applications. “RTI has always been our control solution provider due to its top-quality products and outstanding support,” said Fernando UNIBE had several requirements when it came to control Hernandez, CTO of Musitempo. “Another important factor and automation of its new system. With audio and video for us is that RTI continuously develops custom two-way in multiple classrooms on different floors of the Francia I drivers for integration with the latest A/V components, while building, two-way communications were a necessity. This updating existing drivers to meet new industry standards. would allow changes made in any room to automatically Combine that with simple programming and customization, update on every touchpanel throughout the building. In and you’ve got the perfect solution for complex systems like addition to local control in every classroom, the university the Universidad Iberoamericana.” www.rticorp.com Case Study • Commercial UNIVERSIDAD IBEROAMERICANA RTI Delivers Easy-to-Use Control of Multi-room A/V System for the Universidad Iberoamericana “With RTI, we were able to meet all of UNIBE’s requirements easily, and the university now has the distinction of being the only private university in the Dominican Republic to have fully automated classrooms.” Fernando Hernandez - CTO, Musitempo At the heart of UNIBE’s control system lies RTI’s XP-8 central maximum resolution. The 3.5-inch display is unobtrusive in control processor, which combines a blazing-fast MPU, the classrooms, yet its full VGA resolution displays custom real-time/multitasking operating system, and tremendous text and graphics with incredibly rich and vivid detail. expandability. In addition to an abundance of basic control ports, such as IR, contact closures, and power sensors, the unit For master control, the control room is equipped with a K4 provides advanced control interface options such as two-way LCD in-wall touchpanel controller. The K4 combines IR control, communications and a built-in astronomical clock for time- video monitoring (full screen or in a scalable window), a built- based events. The processor’s ability to communicate through in Web browser, and Ethernet connectivity in one sleek 6.4- two-way RS-232 or IP over Ethernet allows it to control any inch touchpanel. Additional RTI components featured in the device in the university’s system and receive feedback — system include CB-8 connecting blocks to power and send such as volume levels — via pre-built two-way drivers. The signals to wall controllers, PCM-8 port control modules for XP-8 can control and receive feedback from the classrooms’ extra IR control, and RCM-12 relay control modules to trigger in-wall controllers through built-in Ethernet connections. the Da-Lite screens. “One very important element of this project is a two-way To provide the ease of use that the Universidad Iberoamericana driver for the BSS digital signal processors,” added Hernandez. required, Musitempo created a “simple touch presentation” “The driver built by RTI works perfectly; without it we function, which provides an easy, automated way to start a wouldn’t have been able to integrate these vital components basic A/V presentation.

For local control, students and teachers interact with the system via RK3-V in-wall touchpanels installed in each room.

The software’s macro editor — which allows complex multi-step actions to be assigned to every button on a remote — was a powerful tool in bringing one-touch functionality to the university. “With RTI, we were able to meet all of UNIBE’s requirements easily, and the university now has the distinction of being the only private university in the Dominican Republic to have fully automated classrooms,” says Hernandez. “UNIBE couldn’t be happier with their system. They’ve been very impressed with its flexibility for any application, whether it’s a simple local presentation in a single classroom or combining all the classrooms together for a master class or conference. And of course, the system has been extremely reliable and easy to use.
