Artificial Intelligence (AI) is dramatically changing various industries; audiovisual is no exception. With its advanced algorithms and machine learning capabilities, AI is helping audio visual specialists
- transform content creation and production,
- enhance audio,
- enable intelligent control,
- personalize user experiences,
- make real-time processing affordable,
- keep audiences engaged,
- improve event analysis and
- make live events more secure.
Let’s take a closer look at each of these areas:
Content creation and production
Audio enhancement
As needed, av companies like Midwest Audio Visual are utilizing AI to remove background noise, and improve voice intelligibility, adjust tone/pitch/clarity and transcribe speech to text for our clients:
- Algorithms can take out background noise in real-time, improving audio clarity in recordings and live streams.
Automation and control
AI is streamlining audio visual control systems for Midwest Audio Visual clients’ meetings and events:
- It powers voice-activated assistants, automates camera angles and optimizes lighting and sound for video conferences
- It also automates AV setup, adjusting
- microphones,
- projectors and
- displays
based on pre-set configurations.
Real-time processing
Need a speech or lecture translated into five other languages WHILE the speaker is delivering their address? No problem. Facial recognition is another way AI processes information in real time:
- AI enables live language translation and automated captioning in webinars and live events.
- Cameras equipped with AI can detect faces, movements or objects for security, audience analysis or interactive experiences.
Keeping the audience involved
AI-driven avatars or voice assistants (think Chatbots on a retail ordering site) interact with audiences during live or virtual events.
Post-event analytics
AI collects and analyzes data from AV events, such as viewer engagement and interaction metrics, to optimize future content and presentations.
Security and monitoring
AI can aid surveillance systems and protect copyrighted content:
- With AI, you can analyze video feeds for anomalies, making public spaces and private events safer.
- Digital Rights Management (DRM) uses AI to monitor and protect copyrighted AV content against unauthorized use or piracy.
What does the future hold?
There are exciting possibilities in the world of AI-driven AV:
- Algorithms that recognize emotions may one day enable the precise detection of users’ emotions for more immersive experiences. This technology is already being tested in educational settings to alert teachers to students facing mental health crises.
- Real-time translation capabilities can enable seamless communication in multi-language environments.
- Content based on context can personalize recommendations based on the user’s location, time and social setting.
