September Update: Digital Annotation System

Greetings from The AV Company!

Things are picking up for us this month, and we are looking forward to a fantastic fall full of exciting projects! As things get busier, we are looking for ways to increase efficiency and make communication easier for our clients. One tool that we are excited to implement is our new digital annotation system! Using specialized wireless presentation tools from Crestron, Extron, and Mersive, we have devised a system that allows presenters to interact with their presentation material in real time - think of it as a digital whiteboard! This opens up lots of new opportunities for audience participation, annotation storage, and content sharing!

Our system utilizes Crestron AirMedia to share content, an Extron Annotator 300 that provides a wide range of annotation tools, and Mersive software that allows wireless connection between a wide range of devices. This system fosters collaboration and decision-making, and smooths out the process of presenting and discussing information.

August Update: Custom Fixtures and Decor

Greetings from The AV Company!

In our office, we always try to keep new, fresh ideas flowing! We enjoy playing with new design concepts that we haven't seen around yet. So we often find ourselves building custom fixtures and decor for our clients!

One recent example might be the pieces that we built for the NAMIC 2014 Management Conference at the Williamsburg Lodge this past June! One of our client's requests was to have large rear projection screens surrounded by gold frames that reflect the history and style of the Williamsburg area. Well, as you can imagine, finding frames this size might be rather difficult. So we built some!

We also enjoy building custom lighting fixtures! These fixtures were built for Glass Haus Kitchen by our principal designer. He wanted something that would make an impact while enhancing the unique contemporary feel of the space. We think he succeeded!

New Equipment for Meetings and Conferences

We spent the Winter adding new items to our inventory that keep us on the cutting edge of technology while doing our part to use less energy. We now have many new audio visual rentals available for your meeting and conferences. Here are just a few of our favorites:

• Brand new High Definition Projectors (1080P at 5500 Lumens) and wide format screens
• Most events use 80% LED lighting fixtures which reduce your carbon footprint by up to 400%
• 100% digital sound reinforcement for groups of up to 3000 people
• Expanded furniture rental inventory for events and conferences
• Our technicians received over 14 certifications in 2010 from leading industry manufacturers and institutes 

Here are a few photos from a conference that we recently provided audio visual support for here in Charlottesville, Virginia.
