Don’t Miss These Audio Video Installation Upgrades in the New Year

This year has been pretty exciting in business technology.

But with 2018 right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about the kinds of tech that you’ll be using in the New Year to enhance the audio video installation in your Tampa, FL business.

With the increase in 4K Ultra HD content and lossless audio, the issue isn’t necessarily display technology, but how you and your staff will access it.

Here, we’ll show you some of the cool business trends that will help you view and manage all of the hi-res content you’ll be using next year.

Mesh Networking

Let’s face it: your workplace is going mobile. Fewer and fewer offices operate from cubicles and assigned desk spaces. Instead, employees are freely moving about the office and completing work from mobile devices.

There are plenty of reasons, too. The freedom to move about your workspace helps maintain productivity and a positive environment.

But mobility means you can’t suffer dead spots in your wireless network, especially when it comes to streaming 4K video content and lossless audio files.

A wireless mesh network can help maintain even coverage throughout your entire workspace. That means you can continue to share hi-res video files and documents no matter where you are. 

Cloud Storage

Speaking of hi-res files, it’s hard to imagine where you’re going to store all that valuable information. But a server that size would take up way too much space.

That means, in 2018, you’re going to need to upgrade with cloud storage.

When you integrate cloud storage for your video and audio files, anyone can access them throughout the office and beyond.

They won’t have to take up space on their own devices, allowing for faster responses and increased productivity.

5G

When your staff is out of the office, you need to count on them to access video and audio files from their own devices.

Thankfully, mobile networks are keeping pace with the increased technology.

Recent upgrades to 5G networking mean you can stream 4K and lossless audio to your mobile device even when you don’t have access to Wi-Fi. 

That will help team members remain productive, even when they have to travel for work.

AI and Analytics

With so much information being shared through 4K Ultra HD and lossless audio files, your business can benefit from analytics software in the coming year.

Analytics and AI software can help everything from managing queues to protecting your business via smart surveillance.

Video analytics quickly reviews and catalogs footage to provide you information and make suggestions.

It helps determine behavioral patterns, recognizes faces and provides you with the kinds of information you’ll need to manage your business more efficiently through audio and video.

Smart Glass

This one sounds like it’s right out of a sci-fi movie. 

Smart glass is a relatively new concept, but its primary application today is auto-tinting for light and temperature management.

However, researchers have recently cracked the code on changing hues within smart glass.

That means we could be seeing our first smart glass video displays in 2018.

Imagine replacing all of the video monitors in your business and watching content on your windows.

In the New Year, it may just be possible.
