About AV System / Contents

Audio Visual systems are usually designed to solve a communication need, so they may consist of one or several of the following components

Audio and video conferencing, solutions Digital display and signage Video wall Interactive displays, Audio enhancement technology

Control Systems

Together, these technologies can create a compelling sensory experience for companies and schools. Which technologies make the most sense will differ from one organization to the next, but an experienced AV integrator can help with this.

What do corporate AV solutions consist of?

AV solutions make it easier for companies to unify and standardize their communications throughout the organization, so team members can be reached wherever they are, quickly and easily. Conferencing solutions are effective at promoting this approach, and they include:

Cameras and displays – In a video conferencing system, a camera captures video from one endpoint and distributes it to other endpoints connected to the conference. There may only be a pair of endpoints involved, or there may be hundreds. For example, an executive may use a conference room to deliver an announcement to many other rooms, displays or devices.
Microphones and speakers – The audio side of a video conference is captured by microphones and delivered to speakers at the other end. Microphones can be mounted to a surface, built into a surface, mounted inside the ceiling or suspended from the ceiling. The right choice comes down to appearance, footprint and audio clarity. For example, gooseneck microphones deliver excellent audio quality, but they take up more space than other microphones.

Speakers may be integrated with the display, which is typically sufficient for a smaller space like a huddle room. In medium to larger conference spaces, a set of speakers positioned for even sound distribution ensures everyone can hear.

The codec – The codec is responsible for encoding and decoding the audio and visual data sent to each conferencing system and endpoint. Codecs are available in hardware and software forms, each with their own advantages. Hard codecs are ideal when call stability and quality is an absolute must, while soft codecs are less expensive and fast to implement.

In addition to conferencing solutions, digital signage solutions are a popular choice among businesses. They consist of the following technologies:

The display – Digital signage displays look like televisions, but they are designed for long term, continuous use. As such, they are built with more durable components, onboard fans and larger heat sinks to prevent thermal damage. Digital signage displays are available in an array of sizes and forms, as they can perform several roles. A restaurant may use digital signage to display menus. A luxury clothing store may use a large video wall to show off new arrivals. Businesses on a commercial plaza can use rugged exterior signage to catch the attention of people strolling by. Digital displays can be installed just about anywhere.

player is what stores and sends signage layouts to the display. It’s essentially a small computer that makes signage functionality easy to manage.

The signage software – Digital signage software allows users to create and edit layouts, program signage campaigns and perform other functions. If the signage can also be used as an instant messaging or emergency alert system, these can also be accessed through the signage software.

Applications can be used to add functionality to the signage system. Weather, news, sports scores and social media applications are just a few examples.
