AV technology
AV media are media that serve the auditory and visual senses of humans in digital or analog form. Against the backdrop of increasing digitalization, it is difficult to distinguish between AV and IT. When it comes to conference room technology, especially in the areas of audio technology and video technology, AV media play a key role.
What is AV technology?
AV stands for audiovisual. AV media therefore serve the human senses through sound and image. While analog AV media such as cameras or projectors dominated in the past, digital components are increasingly being used today. In addition to the technology of AV media, AV technology also refers to the management of these media.
Examples of AV media
AV media can be both digital and analog. Whiteboards as well as LED displays and video projectors therefore fall into this category. Cameras, recorders and various types of displays are also included. The dimension of managing these technologies also plays a key role. Management is achieved, for example, through cloud computing, i.e. the outsourcing of software and hardware to an external provider on the Internet. The latter is therefore also a typical example of AV media.
AV vs. IT
IT, i.e. various information and the technology to store and preserve it, is always available. Audiovisual devices are required in order to see or hear them. The boundaries between AV and IT are becoming increasingly blurred. However, there is one clear difference between them: AV media can be both digital and analog, while IT systems can only appear in digital form.
AV/IT integration
In the past, IT networks and AV solutions were still clearly separated from each other. Today, there are not only close links between the systems, but AV technology has been integrated into IT networks. AV systems can develop into IT networks.
Application areas of AV technology
AV solutions can be found almost everywhere. These include companies and schools as well as in the home entertainment sector. However, AV media are used particularly frequently in the field of conference room technology. This includes displays, loudspeakers, lighting, cameras and much more. Media control is child's play these days. AV systems are increasingly being integrated into IT systems.
