Black Oak Casino

“When specifying the technological approach for Black Oak Casino, I knew that only Pelco could deliver the systems and overall solutions needed to meet the demands of such an installation.”
– Rick Richardson, President, Richardson Casino Consulting, Inc.

Mission
Tucked into the Sierra Nevada Foothills of Sonora, in California’s Gold Country, Black Oak Casino was ready to build a sophisticated video security system integrating a digital solution with an established analog system. Essentially, the casino wanted tomorrow’s technology – today.

Solution
The casino chose the Pelco Endura System to work in conjunction with the System 9780 video matrix switch, resulting in a flexible and powerful solution, able to deliver the control and rapid response capabilities mandated by the Tribal Gaming Agency. Endura can be a transparent digital extension of an analog system that offers security personnel unmatched functionality by taking advantage of existing Ethernet capabilities. High-quality live and recorded video is delivered quickly to any number of authorized users.

Result
“There is no comparison [to Endura] when it comes to video quality, playback features and functionality, as well as the ability to immediately review video to resolve problems,” said Delmar Geisdorff, chairman of the Tribal Gaming Agency. “Likewise, searching video is easy and, of course, we have realized great savings when it comes to changing tapes and the costs associated with doing so.”
