What is AV programming?
Typically, AV programming consists of building a GUI and program architecture (such as commands and normalizing operations) to run on a control system. Sometimes programming requires proprietary knowledge, but sometimes it is only specialized knowledge. Sometimes, the “programming” involves configurations of DSPs, workstation computers, recorders, streamers, or the network and networked AV endpoints.
This sounds expensive.
It is expensive in most cases to develop your own custom software, but this isn’t going quite that far. Instead, we work with established platforms to produce a concrete set of capabilities. This ensures simplicity and prevents curious users from being able to “break” the system.
What is needed for AV programming?
In its most basic form, a control system consists of a control processor and a user interface device such as touchscreen or keypad. Most things are controlled through the network now, but other electronic forms of device-based communication are supported as well. Of course, we also need the things to be controlled to be present in the system, and those device configurations are included in a programming scope.
We don't want any AV equipment on the network.
Great! We prefer to build our own networks; however, it is also viable to work with your IT administration to create AV segments. Depending on the level of integration that could include the cloud, remote access, or conferencing, it might be preferable instead to deploy on your existing LAN. The convergence of AV and IT means the technology is enterprise-ready.
I need help with reprogramming an existing system.
Reprogramming can be a real concern when changing or updating an existing system. This is no problem, as we are able to facilitate acquisition of original files, recreate your programming, or quickly build new to include the changes.
I don't have a control system and don't think I need one, but I don't like how my system works.
Low-code and no-code solutions are on the rise. Additionally, some systems rely entirely on configurations and not true programming. We are able to configure elements such as DSPs, amplifiers, wireless microphones and RF environments, networking equipment, IoT – Internet of Things, and workflow solutions. Simple controllers or computer applications can serve as your user interface.
What if we need to make changes to the programming later?
Sometimes your workflows or applications change, but the system still supports all of the above — this means you have a truly integrated system with adept architecture. We would love to help you update.
I need AV programming - can you help me?
Certainly. Let’s discuss. We will establish a framework to inform goals and outcomes, understand the equipment scope, and generate a programming scope for intelligent architecture and efficient deployment.
