Finley Stadium Ultra Club

The Ultra Club is Finley Stadium's club-level lounge: tables and seating, a bar with a living greenery ceiling, a team merchandise shop, and a wall of windows onto the field. The stadium wanted the room to work for a game-day crowd, a corporate event, and a quiet weekday, all from one control panel behind the bar.

The focal point is a 2x2 video wall of Samsung 700-nit displays with 1.74 mm bezels on a Planar mounting system, fed by a Just Add Power video-over-IP system that lets the staff put any of the sources, cable boxes, streaming devices, the field feed through a digital tuner, or a BrightSign signage player, on any screen, or stretch one source across the whole wall. Three 55-inch Sony televisions cover the seating opposite the bar and the wall behind it, each with its own AV-over-IP receiver, and two HDMI wall plates let a presenter plug in near the wall or beneath the televisions.

Audio is twelve JBL pendant speakers anchored into the hard ceiling, split into three zones with independent volume, driven by a Crestron amplifier and balanced by a Biamp TesiraForte DSP. A Bluetooth pairing point near the video wall lets guests play from their phones, and an Audix dual wireless system with a handheld and a lavalier, a high-powered RF Venue antenna, and two hardwired XLR inputs on the wall handle presentations.

A Crestron CP4 processor and a 7-inch touch panel by the bar run everything: video wall layouts, television sources, zone volumes, and microphones. The equipment lives in a rack in the storage closet with a Netgear AV switch and rack-mounted power conditioning.
