Audio-Visual Services

Comprehensive system design requires precise analysis of such parameters as acoustics, ADA requirements, program material, sources, throw distances, screen sizes, viewing angles, lighting levels, electronic compatibility, signal distance limitations, and scan rates.

Graphic systems can include support for video, data, and graphics distribution and presentation. These tools have become essential in the corporate workplace as well as in educational facilities in order to keep pace with technological advances, helping to achieve business objectives and promote learning, respectively.

Real-time remote collaboration is no longer a luxury but both a value added tool and an investment that quickly pays dividends when looking to save time and money. Videoconferencing, coupled with collaborative meeting tools, adds a new dimension to resource utilization. It enables the delivery of detailed remote instruction without the waste of time or money involved in travel.

Whether you are bringing in real-time expert instruction or providing instruction to others, distance learning can be a marketable asset for any institution of learning. In addition, recorded classes allow the archiving of presentations for later broadcast via the Internet or campus television.

Demand for distribution of media is increasing from cable and satellite antenna distribution in college dormitories to closed circuit broadcasts in courthouses. New transport media and technologies with greater bandwidth, improved compression, and increased encryption have created new possibilities for the distribution of media within a facility, across a campus, and around the world.

In a manner that is easily updated and manageable, electronic signage makes possible the timely distribution of information across a facility’s campus or across the globe. Ranging from flight information displays to movie theatre marquees, and found in buildings from corporate lobbies to point-of-sale retail locations to universities, electronic signage can communicate targeted dynamic information in new and effective ways.

The general public no longer accepts sub-par audio systems in public venues but rather insists on state-of-the-art reinforcement and broadcast intelligibility in almost every setting. Whether for classrooms, theatres, jury rooms, or churches, meeting the demand for top quality audio requires careful design and engineering of both the technology systems and the room acoustics.

Open office acoustics, confidentiality within secure rooms, and privacy issues related to medical patient rights have become critical issues. Design trends continue to push offices into open space plans, and new legislation is mandating increased privacy in medical environments. Masking systems can reduce distractions in an open office environment, increase privacy in open facilities, and help secure confidential communications.
