Commercial Case Study
Indoor Golf Facility AV, Control, Network & Security – Solon, Ohio
Indoor golf facilities live or die on the guest experience: clear audio, fast and reliable video switching, intuitive control for staff, and rock-solid connectivity for streaming, point-of-sale, and events. For this Solon, Ohio venue, We engineered a complete commercial technology ecosystem—purpose-built for daily operations and high-traffic nights.
The goal: make the entire space easy to run, flexible for events, and reliable under real-world commercial demand.
Independent Zones + Venue-Wide Viewing
Xtend delivered individual audio and video control for each key area—golf bays, bar, lounge, and game areas—while also enabling a single distributed source to take over the entire facility for big moments like UFC, Browns games, and private parties.
This creates the best of both worlds:
- Day-to-day zone independence
- Instant “event mode” for full-venue energy
Simple Control From Touch Panel or Any Smart Device
At the core is an ELAN by Nice control platform with an 8” touch panel behind the bar plus mobile control from iOS/Android devices. Staff can quickly select sources, adjust volume by zone, and run the venue without juggling remotes or guessing which device controls what.
Result: less friction for staff, better consistency for guests.
Distributed Audio with Commercial Amplification
A centralized audio matrix and 16-channel amplification provide consistent, intelligible sound across the facility—from background music during normal hours to higher-impact audio for events.
Key platform elements:
- Multi-zone audio matrix (scalable system architecture)
- 16-channel high-output amplification
- Dedicated music streaming integration
This is the difference between “loud” and balanced coverage.
TV Coverage Across Bays, Bar, and Game Areas
To support a sports-forward atmosphere, the venue was outfitted with multiple 55” 4K displays across the space, creating viewing angles and coverage that match how guests actually move and gather.
This approach supports:
- Better dwell time
- Higher guest satisfaction
- Increased event value
160” Screen + High-Brightness Laser Projection
In the lounge, Xtend delivered a premium large-format viewing zone featuring a 160” fixed projection screen paired with a high-brightness laser projector—ideal for featured events and group viewing.
This space becomes a true “anchor zone” for watch parties and private events.
Secure Staff Network + Separate Guest Access
This venue required more than “decent Wi-Fi.” It required a scalable commercial network that can support business operations while keeping guest access separated and secure.
Xtend implemented a complete UniFi network ecosystem, including:
- Enterprise gateway / routing
- Managed PoE switching
- High-density wireless access points
- Segmented networks for staff and guests
Reliable connectivity is not a luxury in commercial spaces—it’s operational infrastructure.
Commercial Surveillance for Visibility and Peace of Mind
8MP Color-at-Night Cameras + NVR Recording
To protect the facility, staff, and guests, Xtend installed a commercial surveillance system featuring premium 8MP motorized varifocal turret cameras with color-at-night capabilities and weather-rated enclosures.
Highlights include:
- 4K (3840 x 2160) image capture
- Motorized varifocal lenses for precise coverage
- Color-at-night visibility
- IP67-rated outdoor protection
- Live + recorded viewing from smart devices
Recording is handled by a dedicated 8-channel NVR with PoE camera support and efficient H.265+ video encoding for smarter storage.
Wireless Microphones for Announcements and Events
Handheld + Lavalier with System Integration
To support live announcements, tournament play, and event hosting, Xtend added a pair of professional wireless microphones:
- One handheld mic
- One lavalier mic with body pack
- Integrated through a dedicated mixer for simultaneous use
Most importantly: the microphone source was integrated into the ELAN system so staff can select “Microphone” as an audio source per zone—enabling clear, controlled announcements without disrupting the venue.
Reliability + Remote Support Built In
Rack Engineering, Power Protection & Monitoring
All core systems are housed in a professional rack with active cooling, protected power, and remote management tools. This ensures faster troubleshooting, fewer disruptions, and improved long-term reliability.
The venue also included Xtend’s Enhanced Support Plan, featuring:
- 24/7/365 remote support
- Proactive monitoring and remote repair
- App-enabled diagnostics
- Preferred discounted service call rates
For commercial clients, this is what protects uptime.

- Full-venue distributed audio/video with event mode capability
