Smooth Operations
A public school district in Virginia, USA, was facing significant challenges with its aging AV system in the multipurpose stage spaces located at its schools. These spaces, called “Cafetoriums”, serve as cafeterias, auditoriums, and gymnasiums.
In addition to replacing the outdated equipment, the school district needed a centralized device that would help staff members managing the equipment. Staff needed to focus on educational activities rather than managing technical components. A system that minimized the need for manual adjustments and interventions was crucial.
AVL solutions provider Pierson Computing Connection worked with the public school system to develop a cutting-edge solution tailored to the unique needs of the public schools’ multipurpose spaces that fit within their budget constraints while still meeting all their needs.

AV Control of Choice
Once the audio and visual equipment was updated with current models, including audio amplifiers, microphones, and HDBaseTTM video switches, Pierson Computing Connection, Inc. leaned on to ATEN’s expertise to provide a simplified, intuitive, and user-friendly control device that could manage the new equipment, allow staff to switch audio and video sources, turn on and off a projector, and lower and raise the projection screen, multiple functions with the press of a button.
The VK0100 control pad was the product of choice for Pierson Computing Connection Inc. because of the easy programming and ease of use. In addition, ATEN provides a free customizable engraving service to display the different functional buttons in a professional and long-lasting look.
The VK0100 has a great combination of physical I/O and a simple programming structure making it a cost-effective and versatile tool for providing control. ATEN also provides excellent support for their products to ensure you have a good experience partnering with them.
