Innovative audio video control systems are the backbone of Midwest Audio Visual designs, enabling
- seamless integration,
- automation and
- simple management of AV devices.
The systems we recommend for our corporate, educational and entertainment clients often include the following key components:
- Centralized Control
- Consolidates the operation of multiple devices (projectors, screens, speakers, lights, cameras) into a single interface.
- User-Friendly Interfaces
- Touch panels and mobile apps simplify control with customizable layouts and intuitive navigation.
- Voice control integrates with assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri for hands-free operation.
- Automation and Scheduling
- Automates recurring tasks such as powering on devices, adjusting lighting and starting presentations based on pre-set schedules.
- Room Analytics
- Monitor room use, device performance and energy consumption to provide insights and optimize operations.
Advancements in systems that control AV equipment are setting our Cincinnati customers apart. Depending on the setting, we can incorporate these elements in our designs:
- Cloud-based control and management with remote monitoring, updates and troubleshooting from anywhere via cloud platforms.
- AI integration, which enhances predictive maintenance, user behavior analysis and adaptive system adjustments. An example is an AI-powered camera that focuses on active speakers in hybrid meeting rooms.
- Bring-your-own-device (BYOD) friendly systems designed for seamless integration with user devices like laptops, tablets and smartphones–to support remote and hybrid collaboration.
- Interoperability standards like AV-over-IP (Audio-Visual over Internet Protocol) for seamless communication across devices.
- Wireless presentation and collaboration solutions that allow users to wirelessly share content without cables.
- Modular systems that grow with the organization, supporting additional rooms, devices or functions without major overhauls.
- Integration with smart building systems combining AV control with lighting, HVAC and occupancy sensors for an intelligent and energy-efficient environment.
Cutting-edge technologies we use where appropriate
Voice and gesture recognition, high bandwidth support, AR apps and encryption are becoming increasingly popular locally. Voice recognition allows for hands-free AV system control; cameras and sensors can operate devices via gestures (e.g., a wave to turn on a screen).
Combining desired features with intuitive designs, the AV control systems Midwest Audio Visual installs are highly valued in our customers’ dynamic environments.
