The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) has always been a trailblazer in leveraging technology to enhance the educational experience. As an early adopter of lecture capture, UNLV continually sought the best solutions to improve student and faculty engagement.

“We pride ourselves on being the front runners that punch above our weight class in AV technology,” says Frank Alaimo, Classroom Technology Services Manager at UNLV.

The school’s forward-thinking approach led them to Pearl Nexus, a classroom capture solution that unlocked the capability for video capture at scale.

The Challenge: Finding an enterprise-grade solution
Following a 2018 pilot program, UNLV identified critical gaps in its current hardware. System failures, outdated technology, and lack of integration with their AV infrastructure drove the search for a premium, scalable lecture capture solution.

As Alaimo puts it, “our previous hardware appliances just weren’t up to the task. We had some failures, update issues, and were reliant on outdated hardware.”

The team needed seamless integration with Panopto for content management and Crestron for room integration while ensuring remote management and cost efficiency.
