The project required a fully integrated AV and communications environment capable of supporting daily broadcasting operations, workplace collaboration, video conferencing, distributed audio, and digital displays across multiple areas of the facility.

The goal was to create a technology ecosystem that supports both media production and everyday workplace functionality, while maintaining professional reliability expected in a broadcast environment.

ESPN Cleveland is one of Northeast Ohio’s most recognized sports media organizations, delivering daily radio programming, digital content, and live sports coverage to fans throughout the region. Known for its deep connection to Cleveland’s passionate sports community, ESPN Cleveland produces a wide range of programming covering the Browns, Cavaliers, Guardians, college sports, and national sports news.

When developing their Cleveland studio and workplace environment, ESPN Cleveland required a technology infrastructure capable of supporting both media production workflows and modern workplace collaboration. This included broadcast monitoring, conference room technology, distributed audio, digital displays, and reliable video conferencing solutions across multiple areas of the facility.

Xtend Technologies worked closely with the team to design and deploy an integrated AV ecosystem that could support the dynamic demands of a professional sports media organization. The finished installation provides the flexibility needed for everyday operations, studio support, meetings, and content collaboration while maintaining the reliability expected in a professional broadcast environment.

Located in Cleveland, Ohio, this project highlights Xtend Technologies’ ability to design and install advanced AV systems for professional media facilities, corporate environments, and organizations that require dependable technology infrastructure.

Project Location: Cleveland, Ohio
Client: ESPN Cleveland Radio Studios & Offices
Integrator: Xtend Technologies

Xtend Technologies was selected to design and install a comprehensive commercial technology solution for a modern workplace environment that required reliable communication, collaboration, audio distribution, video displays, and security monitoring across multiple areas of the facility.

The goal was to create a fully integrated system supporting:

• Conference room collaboration and hybrid meetings
  
• Wireless presentation and screen sharing
  
• Workplace displays and digital viewing zones
  
• Distributed commercial audio and background music
  
• Outdoor patio entertainment
  
• Sound masking for open office comfort
  
• Surveillance monitoring and security
  
• Centralized AV infrastructure for reliability and serviceability
  

The finished system provides a unified technology platform designed to support everyday operations, team collaboration, employee comfort, and visitor engagement.

Several smaller meeting rooms and private offices were equipped with simplified collaboration systems.

These spaces include:

• Sony 55-inch 4K displays
  
• Barco ClickShare wireless presentation systems
  
• Vaddio HuddleSHOT all-in-one conferencing cameras
  
• Wall-mounted iPad control stations
  

These rooms provide consistent functionality for:

• Small team meetings
  
• One-on-one video calls
  
• Remote collaboration
  
• Quick wireless presentations
  

By maintaining consistent technology across rooms, users can move between spaces without learning a new system.

Studio and production spaces required dedicated display monitoring infrastructure.

Xtend installed multiple Sony displays in:

• Studio areas
  
• Control room environments
  
• Production workspaces
  

This allows staff to monitor content feeds, production outputs, and system activity across multiple locations in the facility.

This dramatically reduces downtime.

To support long-term reliability, Xtend implemented remote monitoring tools including:

• OvrC remote management platform
  
• WattBox IP power conditioning and control
  

This enables:

• Remote system diagnostics
  
• equipment monitoring
  
• individual device rebooting
  
• faster troubleshooting
  

These tools help reduce downtime and allow service issues to be addressed quickly.

The completed installation delivered a fully integrated workplace technology ecosystem that supports:

• Collaboration and conferencing
  
• Workplace displays and digital signage
  
• Distributed commercial audio
  
• Outdoor entertainment
  
• Sound masking for open office comfort
  
• Surveillance monitoring
  
• Centralized infrastructure and remote support
  

By combining professional-grade AV technology with scalable infrastructure, the system provides the organization with a modern workplace environment designed for productivity, communication, and long-term reliability.
