Simplification of VC, AV and other cabling is something that we strongly recommend to clients in all our projects, because of the cost and management benefits they achieve in projects. But to do this requires a change in the way we approach our cabling infrastructure.
Extron has introduced the new AXP 64 CAT to eliminate the…
Extron founds a way to eliminate pulling multiple cables and its associated expenses like man power, conduits from microphones to digital signal processors in the equipment rack for larger Installations!!
Extron AXP 64 CAT routes signals from the meeting spaces such as board room/conference room to one or more DMP 128 AT digital matrix processors on the Dante network…
As networking technology continues to evolve, the enterprise AV and IT networks are converging. New technologies like HDBaseT are the more obvious expressions of this conversion, but there is much more coming to us today. Most importantly, as with most network-enabled technology, these products are much, much more powerful and flexible than their predecessors.
An example…
Enterprise conferencing needs are evolving rapidly, and many clients ask about ways to equip smaller conference rooms with cost-effective tools for videoconferencing. Obviously Skype, Lync and WebEx provide popular (soft VC) tools for one-to-one conference on a laptop, but quality is usually compromised when the conference call needs to have multiple participants (say 4 or…
Audio quality related problems often occur in newly integrated rooms, due to poor audio design or problems in identifying the source of the problems when the room is commissioned.
In this article we identify some of the most common problems that our clients face, and recommend ways to address them.
PROBLEM 1: Audio hum or vibration
Cause…
As enterprise AV technologies continue their move onto the enterprise network (which they share with IT services), its important for businesses to understand how they can be leveraged for maximum benefits. In this video (about 5 minutes) Biamp describes the benefits of Networked Media solutions and talks about various applications and also the network structures that…
We’ve talked in the past about the importance of audio design in boardrooms, and how good sound design and audio reinforcement can help overcome natural audibility constraints in conference rooms. Obviously, the key elements to ensuring audio clarity – in local or remote conferences – are the microphones and audio conferencing systems.
A good solution for…
In many senses, wireless microphones are a very simple and common techniques that are widely adopted because of the convenience that they provide. The considerably simple life for event managers and performers/presenters by eliminating troublesome wires on stage or in a conference room and providing greater freedom for movement.
But not all wireless microphones are the…
Today digital signals are part and parcel of all data networks, and this includes audio-visual networks, which are quickly going digital. A basic understanding of how digital signal processors (DSPs) work is critical, because they play an important role in simplifying AV networking and also in achieving greater audio-video clarity.
Put simply, as AV moves to…
Implementing multi-room/multi-zone audio can often require compromises in sound quality or create constraints in complex living or working environments.
To simplify this, Crestron Electronics offers their Sonnex multi-zone digital audio distribution solution (which works over CAT 5e or fibre optic cables).
Key features of the Sonnex system include:
Allows upto 74 stereo zones of robust, audiophile sound quality…
As Networked AV (the coming together of AV and IT) adoption becomes prevalent in enterprise
environments, the sheer number of AV devices to be managed is growing exponentially.
But unless they are managed properly, these AV devices can also become the source of challenges to
confidentiality and security from both within and without the corporate network.
The article,…
As the quality and reliability of internet-based conferencing services (like Skype) continue to improve, it is interesting to consider them as a platform for video collaboration in your organisation. One key limitation however, is that the software is tied to the laptop and therefore loses out on clarity when multiple people at different distances from…
