Jacquelyn Anderson was a passionate and talented photographer, designer, dancer and philanthropist. Following her passing from cancer in 2021, her husband, Jim Anderson, sought to honor her life and legacy. The result is Sacramento social club, The Jacquelyn, a curated space that elevates community, creativity and wellness. This special place brings individuals together to connect, collaborate, relax, and recharge. Central to this vision are two exclusive clubs that provide members with opportunities to engage in meaningful interactions and artistic endeavors.
To bring this elevated space to life, The Jacquelyn enlisted Sacramento Production Services. With an understanding of the need for both aesthetic and functional excellence, Sacramento Production Services crafted a system that features vibrant, inspiring visuals alongside flexible audiovisual distribution to support community activities and events.
“The Jacquelyn began as an art studio but has since transformed into a private social club,” explained Keith Wackford, sales and production manager for Sacramento Production Services, Inc. “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, honoring 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.”
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.
“We’ve equipped each area with PacketAV Decoders and Encoders,” noted Wackford. “Additionally, the facility has eight hanging video monitors with Visionary’s PacketAV Decoders, making it simple to connect and display content anywhere on the network. To manage and display the digital artwork, we use 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 PacketAV Encoder, allowing us to route the signals anywhere within the facility as needed.”
Wackford added, “Visionary’s PacketAV Matrix Series works seamlessly with Symetrix, which we use for our video routing. The facility is equipped with ten-inch touchscreens, 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. Additionally, purchasing pre-configured NETGEAR switches from Visionary saves us time and money.”
The integration between PacketAV Matrix Series and Symetrix Composer DSP programming and control software was co-developed by the two companies, allowing PacketAV Matrix Series devices to function as native units within Symetrix Composer. The PacketAV Matrix products deliver ultra lowlatency 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.
