There’s a Better Way to Manage Your Business’s AV Technology

As our workplaces become ever more digital, audio-video systems encompass a wider range of devices. Touch screens, conferencing devices, digital signage, and video displays may all connect to an IP-based system that requires the same level of security and management as other IT systems. 

But if your company is like many others, there simply isn’t enough bandwidth for your IT staff to manage all that AV equipment. Luckily, managed IT services can ease the burden on your teams. 

A managed IT provider, like our firm Texadia Systems, supplies the network, application, and management of all your devices through a monthly plan. We know “managed IT services” may sound like an abstract concept, but in this article, we’ll break down why it’s important and how it can benefit your Fort Worth business.

How to Host Seamless Video Meetings in Your Conference Room 

Video conferencing is straightforward enough when there’s only one person in the room. You simply sit down at your computer and look into the webcam. But how does it work when there’s a group of people at the conference room table? 

Video meetings can be a head-scratcher for hybrid teams. After all, how can groups of people successfully join video calls without crowding around the camera and struggling to be heard? 

Your company doesn’t have to return to siloed video calls. With conference room solutions like a Zoom Room setup, it’s easy to include the whole room in video calls. Here’s what you can expect from Zoom Rooms—and our tips to hold more productive, professional video meetings.

What AI Integration Means for the Modern Smart Home 

Today, you can ask Alexa to turn on the lights or ask Google Home to play a song—and sometimes it gets it right, while other times it doesn’t. It may not know which smart light you’re referring to or proudly begin playing the wrong song and artist. 

But what if your voice assistant could actually comprehend what you were saying and respond to natural comments like, “It’s too dark in here”? Imagine asking for restaurant recommendations nearby and listening to helpful suggestions while you get ready, then promptly ask it to call to make a reservation. 

Artificial intelligence has been gaining traction and improving in recent years, and the release of ChatGPT has unleashed a world of new possibilities. Josh.ai has been a pioneer of home voice control since 2015, and now Josh is teaming up with ChatGPT for its smart new product, JoshGPT.

Partner with a Lighting Designer Early in the Process

Eliminate Distractions & Uncomfortable Silence in the Workplace 

The noise levels in your office space can greatly influence the atmosphere and overall mood. If it’s so quiet that you can hear a pin drop, people may feel like they’re being overheard during private conversations. Alternatively, if there are a lot of loud distractions on top of a busy workload, people may feel overwhelmed or irritated.

Comparing Dante & AVB Network Solutions 

Until recently, if you wanted to distribute real-time audio over long distances or to different locations, you’d need long cable runs. Long wires can degrade signal quality and create noise and interference. 

Luckily, there’s a better way to distribute audio in the conference room: networked audio. New audio networks can send hundreds of high-resolution audio files to multiple destinations, all over standard Ethernet cables. Audio network systems like Dante and AVB make this possible. But which is best for your business? 

In this blog post, we'll guide you through AVB and Dante network protocols, helping you make the right choice for your conference room AV.

Improve Your Home Wi-Fi Experience 

Most homeowners use regular consumer-grade routers to distribute Wi-Fi across the house. But if you live in an expansive home on a large property, and if you want the most sophisticated smart home solutions, a standard router won’t be enough. 

Instead, an enterprise-grade network will provide the coverage and speed you really need. What is an enterprise-grade network? We explain all below to help you find the best solutions for your home Wi-Fi.

HOW TO UPGRADE YOUR HOME’S EXISTING LIGHTING SYSTEM 

Have you heard the news? The sale of incandescent bulbs has officially been banned in the U.S. This ban will reduce carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons in the next three decades, equalling the energy use of the entire population of Texas. 

While this is good news for the environment, many people are unhappy to lose incandescent lights. There’s nothing like the warm glow of a classic Edison bulb, after all. 

However, this doesn’t mean your house will be illuminated by cool, bright lights from now on. LED lighting has come a long way and is now available in many color temperatures and brightness levels. Now is the perfect time to take advantage of a new LED lighting system with high-quality LEDs and a control system. 

Why retrofit? Discover the benefits and see how a lighting installer can transform the atmosphere in your University Park, TX, home. And if you’re ready to learn more? Contact Texadia Systems here.
