Ensuring Consistent Quality and Performance
In a world driven by connected workspaces and international events, global standards in audiovisual (AV) assure consistent performance across all installations. For audiovisual systems, adopting universally recognised protocols mitigates compatibility issues and ensures reliable user experiences, wherever you are in the world.
Why Standards Matter for AV Systems?
Compatibility – global AV standards bolster compatibility between devices from different vendors. This compatibility allows integrators to mix and match equipment without complex workarounds.
Design Efficiency – standards from organisations such as AVIXA, guide best practices for audiovisual systems. This includes rack design, cable labelling, energy management and lighting for video conferencing. As members of AVIXA, Lucid leverages these to streamline planning, reduce deployment time and ensure consistent quality.
Scalability and Reliability – with standardised frameworks, expanding AV systems or replicating room designs becomes straightforward. Consistent physical standards and control protocols maintain predictable outcomes, even in large, international AV solution rollouts.
Security and Compliance – following standards ensures AV systems adhere to security and regulatory best practices. AVIXA’s guidelines on networked AV security, combined with secure control architectures, provide robust protection against cyber threats.
Lucid’s Approach to Standards-Based AV Solutions
- Standards-Driven Design – Lucid applies AVIXA, protocols in designing audiovisual systems. Whether it is server rack layouts, control systems, or cable labelling, our approach ensures consistency and performance.
- Framework-Based Control Integration – our use of AV control systems ensures centralised, interoperable control across smart rooms, enabling monitoring, automation and rapid troubleshooting.
- Global Benchmarking – Lucid employs global AV standards to replicate room setups across countries, delivering a unified user experience regardless of location, including hybrid classrooms and multipurpose venues.
- Energy and Sustainability Compliance – we design audiovisual systems that align with global energy standards, enabling automated power management and remote monitoring.
- Ongoing Verification and Quality Assurance – Lucid has built its own QA process using a combination of unit testing, integration testing with emulation and hardware based. Harnessing AI to enhance testing processes and procedures along with automation to ensure repeatability.
Real-World Impact of Standardised AV Solutions
- Reduced Complexity – streamlined control and maintenance with standardised schematics and protocols.
- Enhanced User Experience – uniform interfaces and predictable system behaviour across sites.
- Cost Reduction – lower training costs and quicker deployment thanks to systematic designs.
- Future-Proofing – easily integrate new technologies that comply with current standards.
Lucid’s own Blueprint platform exemplifies standards-based thinking, by allowing clients to design, deploy and manage entire systems with consistent AV architectures and control.
Embrace the Power of Global AV Standards
By adhering to global standards in AV, Lucid delivers audiovisual systems and audiovisual solutions that are reliable, scalable, secure and intuitively simple to use. From single room control to campus-wide networks, our solutions are engineered to perform consistently, every time.
