Repairable hardware
Locking power and data cables replace hub boards. Neutrik-style power and Cat6 keystone data keep field repairs inside normal technician practice.
Education
LED displays for post-secondary recreation
College rec centers and campus gyms run leagues, club sport, orientation, and student events. XL AV specifies an indoor LED wall built for that continuous use.
Open gym is a continuous load
Club sport and open rec run for long hours. The wall takes impact and still has to run orientation, convocation overflow, and student-org events.
XL AV specifies LUXVISION PROLUX Rugged: front-service modules, standard connectors, fanless supplies, onsite spares.
Campus rec and AV services share the system
The people who book the gym and the people who support AV should not inherit two incompatible control schemes. We specify one operator path and train both groups when they are in the project.
Classroom and lecture systems remain a separate education-AV drawing.
Lighting
Rec centers are bright for long hours. We operate PROLUX Rugged around 2,100 nits so the wall stays readable without extra heat.
Sound
League announcements and event audio belong with the wall. We specify or integrate them.
Control
Student staff often run rec events. The control path has to be trainable. LUXVISION typically uses NovaStar processing. Training is at commissioning.
How we deliver the project
We start with the room: dimensions, viewing distance, how it is used, structure, power, and whether audio, lighting, and live video are in the project. Then design documents, coordination with the facilities team, installation, commissioning, and operator training. Spare modules stay on site so a failed cabinet is swapped, not left dark.
Typical uses
- Campus rec leagues
- Club sport
- Orientation and convocation
- Student-org events
PROLUX Rugged
The indoor wall
Canadian-made PROLUX
PROLUX is LUXVISION's Canadian-made family. XL AV specifies it as a North American-supported gym platform.
Impact-resistant face and trim
A protective LED mask keeps air-inflated sports balls off the diodes. Micro-grooves help perceived contrast. Perimeter trim protects edges as part of the mechanical design.
Quarter-turn metal-to-metal modules
Earlier rugged products could lose magnetic modules on a hard hit. PROLUX Rugged uses a quarter-turn metal-to-metal interlock so modules stay on the wall and still service from the front.
7-year sports-impact warranty
Current PROLUX Rugged warranty context is 7 years, including impact from air-inflated sports balls over 6 inches in diameter, subject to manufacturer terms.
Full front service
Modules, cabling, and feeder access are designed from the front. That is required when a gym display is mounted tight to a wall with no rear aisle.

Questions
Is this a rented concert wall?
No. It is a installed indoor gym platform for daily rec use. Concert looks can run on the same canvas when events are in scope.
Can student staff operate it?
Yes, after commissioning and training. Trainable operation is planned from the start of the project.
Does open gym void impact coverage?
Air-inflated sports-ball impact is part of the current 7-year PROLUX Rugged warranty context. Hard objects are not.
Do you specify audio?
When it is in scope, yes.
