The curated members-only space, at Sacramento Social Club, in California, celebrates the life and art of the late Jacquelyn Anderson, a photographer, designer, dancer and philanthropist
Visionary’s AV0IP equipment has been installed in The Jacquelyn, a curated space featuring digital art at Sacramento Social Club, in California. The venue, an exclusive members-only space, celebrates the life of the late Jacquelyn Anderson, a talented photographer, designer, dancer and philanthropist with a deep appreciation for the arts. It is adorned with numerous video monitors and video walls, currently displaying art by Jacquelyn Anderson.
Following her passing from cancer in 2021, her husband, Jim Anderson, sought to honour her life and legacy in a meaningful way. The result is The Jacquelyn, a space designed to elevate community, creativity and wellness.
Project designers Sacramento Production Services selected Visionary’s PacketAV Matrix Series as a flexible solution for distributing video to multiple displays throughout The Jacquelyn. They installed 21 D4100 decoders, including eight for video monitors that roam the facility, two that are driving content to NovaStar video wall processors, and four support hanging video monitors capable of video wall layouts.
Additionally, Sacramento Production Services integrated five DuetE-2 encoders, which allow audio to be pulled from the first video monitor in each room. Additionally, they installed 15 E4100 encoders and four Duet E-WP-BT encoders, with one in each of the four rooms and one in the control room.
PacketAV Matrix Series integrates with Symetrix’s Composer DSP programming and control software. This integration, co-developed by Symetrix and Visionary, allows PacketAV Matrix Series devices to function as native units within Symetrix Composer. Leveraging the flexibility and scalability of converged IP networks, the PacketAV Matrix products deliver ultra low-latency 4K UHD video streaming over IP, in conjunction with a Dante-enabled Symetrix DSP system.
This combination provides a comprehensive audio, video and control solution, eliminating the limitations of traditional switch matrix systems.
Keith Wackford, sales and production manager for Sacramento Production Services, said: “The Jacquelyn began as an art studio but has since transformed into a private social club. Whether hosting an intimate gathering, a collaborative workshop, or a large community event, The Jacquelyn required an audiovisual system that ensures a dynamic and immersive experience for all participants. The facility is adorned with numerous video monitors and video walls, showcasing digital artwork. All the artwork currently displayed is created by Jacquelyn Anderson, honouring her legacy as a talented artist.”
Wackford added: “The space includes various unique areas, such as a stunning lobby, which features a 1.2mm video wall, the gallery, a wine cellar and multiple private club spaces. Building upon our prior success with Visionary’s PacketAV Matrix Series in other projects, including houses of worship in Fairfield and Sacramento, it was an easy choice to integrate the PacketAV Matrix Series as the backbone for this audiovisual system.”
To manage and display the digital artwork, the team uses TelemetryTV, a cloud-based digital signage system. Every video monitor throughout the facility, including the two LED video walls, has a dedicated TelemetryTV player. Each player sends its signal to a Visionary’s PacketAV Encoder, allowing the team to route the signals anywhere within the facility.
Wackford continued: “Visionary’s PacketAV Matrix Series works seamlessly with Symetrix, which we use for our video routing. The facility is equipped with ten-inch touch screens, allowing us to view thumbnails and manage video routing through Visionary’s PacketAV Matrix Series with Symetrix as the host. The Symetrix modules are particularly helpful, especially for configuring video walls.”
