Considering an AV installation for your business, school, college, university, group of companies or other organisation? CatonLloyd's specialist Audio Visual team has put together this helpful guide to creating an AV system that will connect your people for years to come.
Top tips from CatonLloyd for creating a great Audio Visual installation for your organisation
Audio visual systems are fantastic tools for connecting people quickly, allowing your business, school, college, university, public sector or other organisation to run efficiently with reduced costs and lower carbon footprint.
User-friendly technologies, reliable hardware and the support of an audio visual installation specialist like CatonLloyd will help you to get the most out of your investment, creating a more resilient, connected and - ultimately - successful organisation. Can you afford not to introduce audio visual installation for your people?
Whether you want to connect project teams in different locations, remote workers, meet suppliers and partners or just simply need to stay in touch from wherever you are, quality audio visual installations will bring people together.
From keeping local teams in touch whilst out of the office, to connecting university campuses, school sites, regional or global branch offices, audio visual installations build quality connections between your locations to establish robust and consistent communication systems both within the UK and abroad.
Global branch offices, sites, suppliers, partners or team members can work, learn and progress projects alongside your people in the UK with audio visual installations which are supported worldwide.
Quality audio visual installations increase efficiency and project turnaround, meet deadlines and planning schedules and keep learning on track, delivering instant connections which are cost-effective, robust and easy to use, supporting any activity from a catch-up call to presentations, training, procurement or client and customer care.
The last couple of years have shown us what uncertainty can lie just around the corner. Keep your business or organisation running smoothly by creating quality communications channels accessible at any time, whether supporting project teams and departments or providing a vital link with school pupils, college and university students working and learning from home.
The success of your audio visual installation depends on the quality of the equipment and technologies specified, as well as the creation of a tailored system designed for you and your organisation.
CatonLloyd ensures the quality of our audio visual installations through consultation and bespoke design, meeting clients' needs with a range of systems from leading manufacturers.
Affordability is important to all of our clients, but at the outset of every project we recommend that clients set aside a budget which is appropriate to the project, their expectations and the purpose of the audio visual installation we're creating. Take care to establish a realistic audio visual installation budget which allows for initial design, hardware and software, bespoke builds where required, installation and aftercare.
Quality technologies and hardware from leading manufacturers, together with a professional audio visual installation and expert aftercare, will make for a robust, hardwearing system which will serve your people and your business, school, college or university for years to come.
CatonLloyd's audio visual installation specifications feature market-leading audio visual technologies wherever possible, with good support from manufacturers committed to reliability, excellent maintenance and software updates which deliver a strong return on investment in your audio visual network. Whilst no technology can ever be truly futureproof, widely-used audio visual systems are likely to stay around for longer and offer greater versatility.
Audio visual systems offer excellent opportunity to upgrade. Where a more basic system may suit your budget better during an initial installation, by choosing widely-used and well-supported quality audio visual installations and technologies you'll enjoy the flexibility of adding to your system later with touch screens, control panels and upgraded audio visual software.
Almost every audio visual installation that CatonLloyd works on is unique. Designed to meet the specific needs of our clients, audio visual systems are incredibly versatile and offer excellent opportunities to create tailored installations that work for your people, whatever your goal.
At the start of our audio visual installation projects, our audio visual design engineer plans and models your audio visual installation in CAD, accompanied by clear connections schematics which can be efficiently replicated, asset schedules and architectural specifications for a smooth, fully-planned installation on site.
Audio visual design plans your audio visual installation to specific requirements, setting out not just your design and networking but preparing all asset, cabling and installation schedules and delivering complete visibility on costings and installation programme timings.
Audio visual installation is used by an incredibly wide range of businesses for many purposes. Whatever your need, audio visual design will ensure your system is fully tailored to you, from connecting remote workers and providing quality and reliable video conferencing to creating highly visual displays, engaging signage and interactive learning opportunities.
Tailored audio visual installations are designed to suit your users. In a business or commercial setting, technologies should be streamlined and easily accessible, offering good functionality and simple user interfaces but with excellent features to allow users to get the most out of your investment. In schools, colleges and universities, interactive learning is presented through touchscreens and quality projection and sound, encouraging technology take-up amongst teaching staff and learners.
Every room is different, which is why audio visual design is so important to create unique systems which work for you. CatonLloyd's audio visual design engineer tailors systems and specifications to suit your architecture, room shapes and features, as well as accommodating networking requirements and connectivity concerns.
Audio visual installation is a highly creative way of communicating across your business, school, college, university or other organisation. Connecting individuals with each other and larger teams, AV also provides a platform for group-wide training, brand engagement and supports human resource needs in creating comfortable and enjoyable places to work.
How could your organisation use audio visual installation?
Excellent information displays, wayfinding, advertising opportunities or display of information for your people both internally and externally. Digital signage installation is particularly engaging in public spaces such as visitor attractions, transport hubs, retail centres and museums.
Bold and unmissable, LED walls make a statement and bring life to an otherwise-dull wall or showroom space. Highly engaging, information can be displayed continuously, featuring advertising and essential messaging as well as providing a large format for informative content and video.
Enhancing breakout and rest areas, canteens and small team working spaces, audio visual installations enhance your people's experiences whilst at work or when studying. Television and news feeds, industry and business news, presentation areas and simple audio for PA or music create engaging work and rest environments whilst creating additional communications channels for essential information and announcements.
Crystal clear remote connectivity supports those with remote or hybrid working arrangements, allowing those working anywhere to work in partnership and teams with others, to collaborate and to share in training and other resources.
Audio visual installation is perfectly suited to large presentation spaces, 'town hall'-style meeting areas, lecture and performance theatres, offering excellent audio clarity, sharp screens and projection and reliable connectivity to networks, both internal and external.
