Strategy & approach
The systems that have been installed at Pretoria Boys High School comprises a fully integrated design of sound, audio-visual and stage lighting system managed under a centralised control system
The system is made up of the following subsystems:
- Crestron Control System
- Sound Reinforcement System – JBL, Crown, BSS
- AV Presentation System – Extron video distribution, NEC projection
- Stage Lighting System – Strand & Chauvet
One of the primary design objectives of the system is a simplified operator approach as many of those operating the system is relatively non-technical. Crestron Control enables the user to select one of two modes.
- Automatic Mode – Using pre-configure pre-sets to run the system for every-day use.
- Manual Mode – Typically used for Productions, Venue hires applications or any event where there are performing artists etc.
The system is also able to accommodate online functions eg. Online Lessons, conferencing etc
