Understand System Capabilities and Limitations for Corporate AV Needs
To get the maximum advantage from an AV system, the client should understand what it can and cannot accomplish. Gaining an understanding of audiovisual products and their function is important, as is going beyond the basics included in an initial estimate. By digging deeper, a client can learn how to use the office’s new technology to benefit the company. Clients can set their expectations at a reasonable level by asking for a demonstration of the new AV system and its integrative capabilities. By learning about the system before it’s ever installed, providers and clients can work together to identify areas for improvement and develop solutions that work.
Consider Cable Pathways
Whether a business owner needs to set up a new system or make upgrades to a current setup, it is important to consider the availability and placement of cable pathways. Existing facilities may have fewer options as to the ability to conceal AV cables as they run between tables, monitors, and speakers. Concealment options include floor trenching and core drilling or installing surface mounted raceways. New installation technology allows for the wireless transmission of some signals, which can help budget-conscious customers avoid expensive structural modifications.
Consider the System’s Electrical Requirements
Whether starting from scratch, moving to a new facility, or making changes to an existing building, it is vital to assess the project’s electrical requirements before work begins. An electrician can determine whether there are enough power circuits in the building, if they’re properly located, and if there’s sufficient power to support the AV system. CCS works with electrical professionals to address these issues and prevent interference from other electrical devices on the same circuit.
Work with the IT Team to Ensure Firewall Permeability and Adequate Bandwidth
When a client implements a teleconferencing feature as part of an office AV system, they should work with the company’s IT staff to ensure the current network setup can support the new features. Bandwidth availability on the corporate network is a very important consideration during the planning phase, and it can cause catastrophic failures if improperly verified. With the current emphasis on corporate network security, video teleconferencing systems should be set up in collaboration with the company’s IT staff to ensure smooth transmission through a firewall.
Set Realistic Expectations and a Firm Budget
To avoid obstacles and delays during a commercial AV installation project, clients should consult a specialist as soon as possible to ensure the continued viability of their plans. Whether or not the business owner or building manager is tech savvy, it is important to lay a firm foundation from the beginning on matters of bandwidth, budget, equipment, electrical problems and other components of the project.
