From audio and video to lighting and projection systems, the audiovisual technologies are being extensively leveraged by most of the industries.In terms of specialized quality enhancements, the evolution in the space is converging into well-defined, networked AV ecosystems, which was in the wish list of stakeholders for long. In this scenario, time is ripe for hardware to catch up with the expectations of increasingly IT-centric end users. While vendors need to best adapt and create right tools that can be upgraded remotely, they should also prioritize on consulting expert, network-ready manufacturers in areas like streaming and collaboration to serve today's sophisticated customers with more bespoke tools. This would in turn provide added perks of lower engineering costs for customers. There is also an added focus towards displays, which play an integral role in the networked AV era. Technologies that can create an immersive experience is crucial in this area. `Immersive' also reflects an interactive experience, indicating the relevance of digital signage, including vibrant touch-screen solutions and real-time body and face-tracking. With developments like these, the AV world today not only demands refined video display management and distribution but also a well-defined strategy to make the smart AV systems even better.
