Upgrade Your Teleconferences with a More Personal & Engaging Solution 

For decades, business teams have joined calls over conference phones, dialing in to meet with clients or other office locations. But is it time for your company to upgrade to a video conferencing system? 

With an HD display, camera, microphone, and software system that connects it all, you’ll be able to see your call participants, and they’ll see your entire team. We install and program video conferencing systems across the Dallas/Fort Worth TX area, and have seen how the technology benefits our commercial clients. When you upgrade, you can expect the following results. 

As organizations embrace modern AV design, many are moving away from outdated analog cabling in favor of digital audio networks that deliver far greater scalability and flexibility. In this article, we’ll be comparing Dante & AVB network solutions to help IT decision-makers and AV managers select the right system for conference rooms, boardrooms, and multi-room deployments. We’ll define each protocol, share real-world use cases, and highlight how audio networking standards shape today’s enterprise environments.

Why Shift to Networked Audio?

Traditional point‑to‑point wiring for AV installations imposes limits on room layout, cable length, and scalability. In contrast, an audio networking infrastructure leverages standard Ethernet switches and VLANs to transport hundreds of channels over a single cable. Beyond reducing rack space and cable clutter, this approach accelerates deployment and simplifies maintenance, especially in buildings with existing IP networks.

The Basics – Dante and AVB

Businesses have two leading options when it comes to IP-based audio: Audinate’s Dante and the IEEE’s AVB tool suite. Each protocol routes audio over Ethernet, but they differ in governance, certification requirements, and ecosystem adoption.

Simplify Your Return to the Office with Touchless Technology & AV as a Service 

While the world and technology evolve at rapid speeds, we want to help businesses stay flexible. And as the past year’s events proved, it pays to be adaptable. Companies that we're able to shift their processes quickly at the start of the pandemic were the ones who landed on their feet. 

And what could be more flexible than an AV as a Service plan? Rather than invest in new conferencing hardware, software, screens, speakers, and installations, you’ll be subscribed to a monthly service that includes upgrades at any time. Plus, your staff will feel more comfortable and safer with contactless AV.

The Benefits of Hiring a Design-Build Integration Firm

If your business needs an AV technology upgrade, there are typically two routes you can take. You could hire an AV consulting firm to design a system that they’ll put up for bid to installation firms. Or you can call up an AV integration firm that will both design and install the technology. 

Some folks may tell you that it’s best to split the work between two experts. Let one firm handle the design, and another do the installation. But we believe there’s real value to working with a design-build integration firm that does both jobs. 

Whether you need a conference room audio-video system or digital signage across your business, read on to see why hiring an AV integration firm is the smartest choice for your Fort Worth, TX company. And to learn more about commercial AV possibilities, subscribe to our monthly newsletter here. 

Conference Room AV for the Modern Workspace 

People like to complain about meetings—that they’re boring, too long and accomplish little. But meetings and conferences should be where your team sets goals, raises questions, and comes together to share their strengths toward a common objective. 

Every business owner likes to imagine that their company’s conference room will inspire hours of productivity with the walls and table covered in new ideas. But more often than not, teams aren’t focused, and the technology won’t cooperate. 

In today’s business landscape, you need conferencing technology that’s up to speed with both in-person and remote work. The best conference rooms use technology not only as a tool but to create the ideal work environment. 

As a commercial AV integrator based in the McKinney, TX, area, we help Texas businesses create collaborative and inspiring office spaces. Below, we’ll share how the right conference room AV and automation can help you make the most of your meetings. You can also learn more in our blog and monthly newsletter.

MAKE THE MOST OF VIDEO CALLS & UNIFIED COMMUNICATION WITH TEAMS-FRIENDLY HARDWARE  

While the rise in video conferencing and the digital workplace may seem sudden, it’s been a long time coming. In 1964, the Picturephone was the first video calling solution that allowed participants to see who they were talking to on a small television. 

But the Picturephone was incredibly expensive, clunky, and complicated. It wasn’t until the 1990s that video calling solutions began to improve, and we now have the technology to effortlessly communicate with people around the world. 

Today, remote communication can be a seamless and smooth experience—with the right solutions. Many businesses still don’t have the proper hardware in place to make the most of systems like Microsoft Teams. The digital workplace is here to stay, and with hardware built for unified communication solutions, you’ll keep everyone connected.

If your business uses or plans to use a Microsoft Teams system, here’s how Logitech hardware can make the most of your unified communication solutions. And to get started with these systems in Dallas, TX, contact Texadia Systems here! 

Here’s How Acoustic Treatments Can Help 

When you’re on a call in the conference room, are you embarrassed by the sound of you and your team’s voices echoing around the room? If you try to conduct video meetings and calls in an echoing room, everyone participating has to strain to hear you through the distracting sound. Recording audio in such a room is a nightmare, and even high-end microphones don’t stand a chance against echo.

That’s no good! Echoing conference rooms are a common problem in many Texas offices, especially in newly built or purchased spaces.

If your Dallas/Fort Worth conference room is echoing, you would benefit from acoustic treatments. We explain what acoustic treatments are and how they work in the article below. And if you’re looking for professional acoustic treatments for your business, contact our team of AV professionals.

And do remote employees have to make do with a wide shot of your conference table, unable to see or hear each person clearly? 

It may be time for a different approach. Zoom, the popular video conferencing platform, is helping businesses overcome the hybrid hurdle with its Zoom Room solutions. Zoom Rooms integrate conferencing devices into the video call, making it easy to start virtual meetings.

How the Right Microphone and Room Acoustics Can Improve Meetings

“I’m sorry, what was that?”

“Could you repeat that last part?”

No one wants to hear these comments during an important client call—and especially not more than once. Miscommunication, confusion, and stalled meetings occur when your conferencing technology is not up to par. Just as it’s crucial to use a secure network and high-quality webcam, you also need a microphone that records every voice for virtual calls.

In our conferencing experience center near Dallas, TX, we use ceiling microphones to demonstrate high-end business solutions. With ceiling microphones, you won’t have to take up space on the table with a clutter of wires and can ensure every voice is heard. Could your business benefit from one? Learn more to find out.

The Simpler Approach to Business Software & Hardware

Have you heard of AV as a Service? Also referred to as AVaaS, it’s a subscription plan that provides technology to your business for a monthly fee. So, whether you need conferencing displays, smart systems, digital signage, or touchscreens, it’s all part of the plan and can be swapped and traded out at any time. AVaaS also includes the installation, management, and technical support services with ongoing training for your team.

Traditionally, businesses would purchase all their hardware upfront. But as a new alternative, AVaaS covers all your needs within a monthly subscription. If you ever decide you don’t need equipment anymore, we’ll take it away and replace it with new hardware.

Some business owners ask us: why wouldn’t I want to own my technology? There are many reasons businesses in Dallas, TX, are switching to AVaaS and forgoing hardware ownership. You may find your company could benefit, too!

Should Your Texas Company Switch Too? Learn How AVas a Service Works 

What is AV as a Service? Also known as AVaaS, it’s a subscription plan that provides your business all the technology your staff needs, from conferencing hardware to digital signage. AVaaS plans include installations, maintenance, and technical support with ongoing training. Plus, if you ever want to swap equipment for new technology, we’ll trade it in so you’re never outdated. 

The traditional approach to commercial technology is to purchase everything upfront. But with AVaaS, you pay a monthly fee for a package that covers your needs. If you ever find you don’t need the equipment anymore, we’ll come and take it away. 

You might be wondering, why wouldn’t I want to own all of my business’ technology? We’ll share below why companies worldwide are switching to the AVaaS model. You may just find your Plano, TX enterprise could benefit, too.
