Considering all the advancements in AV technology over the past couple of decades, how we control such technology and devices is equally innovative. Control systems can be just as important as cameras, displays, and other key pieces of audiovisual gear when it comes to the quality of meetings.

Haverford Systems, an audiovisual integration company based in Downingtown, provides insight as to how businesses in Philadelphia and the tri-state area are using these control systems to optimize their meeting spaces.

How Do Control Systems Work?

Control systems are the central operating point for controlling various pieces of AV equipment in a meeting room or similar setting. They allow you to control smart boards, projectors, displays, webcams, sound systems, and other devices with just the push of a button. With one centralized panel, you don’t need a pile of different remote controls that all perform one function each. Think of control systems as the central nervous system of the room, managing and coordinating various functions of your audiovisual equipment.

Controlling AV equipment and conference room settings using an app such as Zoom Room, MS Teams, or Cisco Webex allows for more universal, flexible control. Many different control features are housed under one app, streamlining abilities and ease of use. Instead of customized programming for each presentation room’s equipment, an app allows for control of all room devices under one system.

The Zoom Room app, for example, allows users to control a camera’s panning and zoom, display power, and wireless presenting. Putting features under one app makes the control abilities as easy to operate as possible.

Taking Control of Meetings in the Philly Area

Modern audiovisual control systems can be operated by almost anyone. These advanced systems simplify the management of AV components in meeting rooms, allowing businesses to focus on collaboration rather than technical difficulties. For instance, a business on the Main Line could streamline its presentations with a user-friendly control system, enabling seamless transitions between multimedia elements. The intuitive interface allows team members to effortlessly manage presentations with a hassle-free experience for both in-person and remote participants.

As businesses increasingly recognize the value of streamlined operations, the adoption of control systems continues to rise, improving the overall experience of meetings in the tri-state area.
