Audio Visual systems are now essential tools for modern businesses. Whether improving communication, supporting hybrid working, or streamlining operations, these systems provide organisations with the tools they need to stay competitive and efficient. In this post, we’ll explore how AV systems enhance workplaces, supported by examples from Davis Polk, GSA Capital, and Clifford Chance.
How AV Systems Improve Communication and Operations
Modern AV technology tackles the challenges faced by organisations and improves the way teams collaborate and operate. Advanced video conferencing platforms, such as Cisco Webex and HP Poly, enable seamless communication between in-person and remote participants, which is essential for hybrid working. By allowing teams to share ideas and collaborate effectively, these platforms help businesses remain connected and productive.
Centralised control systems like Crestron and Extron simplify the management of AV technology. With these systems, users can control displays, microphones, and lighting from a single interface, reducing complexity and saving time. High-quality displays and beamforming microphones ensure clear visuals and audio, creating a professional and engaging experience for meetings, presentations, and discussions.
Future-ready systems, such as Crestron NVX, are designed to scale as a business grows. These solutions allow organisations to adapt their AV setups to meet future demands without the need for costly upgrades, ensuring a long-term return on investment.
The Cisco Webex Room Kit is a popular choice for modern meeting spaces, combining high-quality video conferencing, screen sharing, and intuitive controls.
Real-World Applications: Case Studies
At Davis Polk’s London headquarters, we delivered a complete AV upgrade to support the firm’s hybrid working needs. The project transformed their meeting rooms by integrating Samsung QM displays, Shure MXA310 microphones, and Extron control systems. The result was a professional, user-friendly environment that improved communication and set the stage for future growth.
GSA Capital’s office spaces were also transformed into collaborative environments with our expertise. The installation included BYOD functionality, allowing employees to connect their devices to Poly conferencing systems and Samsung QM displays easily. Beamforming microphones and PTZ cameras ensured high-quality audio and video across meeting rooms of all sizes. Centralised control systems simplified the operation of AV technology, boosting collaboration and productivity in their workspace.
Clifford Chance undertook a large-scale AV upgrade at its Canary Wharf headquarters, replacing outdated systems with a Crestron NVX video-over-IP solution. This allowed seamless 4K video distribution across meeting rooms. Cisco Webex Room Kits and Touch 10 panels made it easy for users to operate the system independently, reducing reliance on technical staff. Bespoke mounting solutions preserved the architectural integrity of the office, ensuring that the upgrades enhanced both functionality and design.
Clifford Chance’s Client Meeting Room at Canary Wharf features Crestron NVX for 4K video distribution and Cisco Webex Room Kits with Touch 10 panels, enabling efficient communication.
