Takeaway #1: AVoIP Is Here to Stay
Using networking equipment to transmit audio/video signals has been an ongoing trend, but InfoComm has shed more light on its future with AV-over-IP technology. AVoIP (Audio-Visual over Internet Protocol) revolutionizes how businesses manage and distribute audio and video content.
Unlike traditional AV setups that require dedicated cabling and hardware, AV over IP leverages standard network infrastructure to offer unparalleled flexibility and scalability. This particularly benefits businesses with dynamic workspace requirements or those experiencing rapid growth.
AVoIP allows for high-quality video transmission, supporting resolutions up to 8K, so presentations, digital signage, and video conferencing deliver crisp and clear visuals. With centralized management, your company can remotely monitor and control AV systems, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting. The result is improved efficiency and reduced downtime.
Takeaway #2: Advanced Conference Room Solutions Still Matter
Return-to-office initiatives are trending nationwide, but hybrid and remote workforces are here to stay in some capacity. Multi-camera solutions will keep all participants engaged and involved, regardless of their physical location, and ceiling array microphones provide unobtrusive audio capture so everyone in the room is heard clearly. Features like Intelligent Noise Control suppress static background noise for clear and uninterrupted communication during meetings.
Barco’s ClickShare Bar Pro, which won a Commercial Integrator’s BEST Award, facilitates seamless wireless presentations by eliminating the need for cables so employees can share content effortlessly from their devices.
Ultimately, clutter-free conference rooms that empower employees to brainstorm and problem-solve will remain essential workplace technologies moving forward.
Takeaway #3: Streamlined Guest Services in the Hospitality Industry
Smart automation companies are leading the hospitality field with innovative guest services, AV distribution, and room management features. This empowers hotel guests to toggle between services, such as room service and shade control using a single interface. Samsung’s auto check-in/check-out feature streamlines hotel operations, too, leading to reduced wait times and improved customer satisfaction. Guests can check in and out efficiently, providing a smoother experience.
Takeaway #4: The Importance of LED Screens and Digital Signage in Restaurants and Bars
LED screens and digital signage significantly enhance the ambiance and engagement in restaurants and bars. Dynamic displays attract customers, provide real-time information, and create an immersive environment that enhances the dining experience.
