Video Technology Manager's Roadmap for 2024
SAVI Controls Unveils Advanced Commercial AV Experience Center
In a groundbreaking move, the AV/IT team at SAVI Controls has created a commercial AV experience center, potentially one of the most advanced for dealers and end customers. The center showcases a diverse range of products, including LED Video Walls, Displays, KVMs, Content Management Systems, Projectors, Digital Signage Players, and more.
The center was the focal point of a recent discussion involving 29 AV/IT thought leaders who emphasized the critical role high-quality visuals play in AV system success and customer engagement.
The Importance of Image Quality
The key insights from the AV Technology Manager’s Guide to Why Image Matters highlight the importance of delivering the clearest, most compelling visual experience. High-resolution imagery, such as 8K, is increasingly important for applications that demand attention-grabbing displays, like digital signage and large-format installations. Clarity and detail enhance the message and effectiveness of these installations.
However, the choice of resolution and technology should fit the use case and budget. Not all AV setups require cutting-edge resolutions like 8K; decisions should balance purpose, cost, and practical constraints, with the highest quality reserved for scenarios where image impact is critical.
Proactive AV System Management
Managing AV technologies lifecycle-wise boosts Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) and ensures consistent performance, which sustains positive brand perception and credibility in the long term. Thought leaders suggest incorporating lifecycle management and proactive maintenance as essential to preserving image quality and optimizing AV investments, thereby preventing degradation that would sacrifice the image’s impact.
Technological Advances
Technological advances such as AI contribute to improving AV experiences. Automation and AI-enabled tools, including improved video processing and user interaction analytics, can help maintain or enhance image quality, facilitating personalized and engaging AV environments.
Infrastructure Considerations
High-resolution content demands appropriate hardware, storage, and network capabilities to ensure smooth, high-quality signal transmission without degradation. For instance, media players supporting 8K and upgraded Wi-Fi are essential for infrastructure considerations.
Case Studies
Eight case studies are presented at the SAVI Controls commercial AV experience center, including Pro Displays in Florida, Focal Point, a curved video wall project, Vegas Casino's content control, high-bright and beautiful screens, an immersive visual feast, sustainability and design in another location, and a crystal-clear gateway to collaboration.
The SAVI Controls commercial AV experience center includes products like Projectors, a 98-inch 4K Display, Interactive Displays, KVMs, Multi-viewers, and Digital Signage Players in its showcase. The center aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the latest AV technologies and their applications.
