Are you struggling to manage multiple remotes and confusing A/V setups in your conference room? You're not alone. Imagine operating your conference room's projector, sound system, microphones, and lighting and temperature with one touchpad or even your voice! That's the magic of an AV control system, your one-stop shop for managing audiovisual (AV) equipment. 

What Is an AV Control System?

An AV control system is the central hub for your conference room technology. It acts like a universal remote on steroids, allowing you to effortlessly control devices like projectors, TVs, speakers, video conferencing systems, and even lighting and room temperature from a single interface. With a touchscreen panel or a tablet app, you can replace that tangled mess of remotes, so get ready for efficiency! Here’s how you can tame your tech chaos and reap a multitude of benefits with an AV control system: 

Effortless control: Ditch the remote juggling act! A control system offers a streamlined interface, making it easy for anyone to operate the AV equipment, even non-tech-savvy users.

Boost efficiency: Save precious time. Power on all your AV devices with a single touch and eliminate the frustration of troubleshooting individual components.

Enhanced user experience: Welcome guest presenters and attendees without lengthy AV setup tutorials. An intuitive control system allows anyone to walk in and get started. 

Smoother collaboration: Impress clients and boost productivity. Control systems can automate tasks like adjusting lighting or lowering window shades, fostering a perfect environment for collaboration. 

Cost-effective solution: AV control systems can reduce wear and tear on individual devices and simplify maintenance, leading to long-term cost savings.  

By simplifying AV control and offering a multitude of benefits, AV control systems are revolutionizing how we manage technology in conference rooms, classrooms, and event spaces. So, next time you're facing a daunting AV setup, remember there's a control system waiting to transform your presentations and meetings from frustrating to fantastic. 

Control Systems Have a Wide Range of Applications:

  • Businesses: Control systems can be programmed to operate projectors, screens, microphones, speakers, and video conferencing systems with a single touch on a tablet or keypad. Building automation can also be streamlined with control systems that adjust HVAC, lighting, and window shades automatically.

Our Crestron control systems in Edwards Lifesciences' conference rooms empower seamless, user-friendly control over AV technology, enhancing collaboration and communication.

  • Education: Simplified AV control allows educators to adjust everything from a central hub. Users can seamlessly share content from their laptops or tablets directly to the classroom display, launch video conferencing platforms to facilitate remote participation in hybrid classrooms or dim the lights during video presentations. For a single classroom or an entire campus, scalable solutions can automatically adjust lighting and temperature based on occupancy, reducing energy consumption when rooms are not in use.

  • Government: Control systems are popular in government applications for several reasons, including security, scalability, and integration. Central control of microphones, cameras, and displays makes courtrooms more efficient, creating smoother presentations and allowing for improved remote participation.  Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) and Network Operations Centers (NOCs) use control systems for video walls and displays to improve real-time monitoring of situations, communication with first responders, and better decision-making during emergencies
