Networked AV & Lighting

AV Networks

Audio, video, and lighting systems today aren't standalone gear — they're endpoints on your network, and they need to be treated that way. As an MSP with deep networking roots, we bring the same engineering discipline we apply to your servers and switches to every microphone, display, and control processor we touch.

At a glance

What you get

Networked audio

Dante-based distribution, DSP, and processing that scales from a single huddle room to a full campus.

AV-over-IP video & switching

Low-latency video distribution, digital signage, and matrix switching routed cleanly across any room or venue.

Networked lighting & control

Architectural and show lighting plus one-touch automation, integrated into your control ecosystem — not a separate silo.

Built on your network

AV traffic segmented, prioritized, and secured on the same Cisco, Dell, and Microsoft infrastructure your business runs on.

The result is AV that's reliable, secure, and actually integrated with the infrastructure it runs on — not a separate system someone has to babysit. Because we manage networks for a living, we treat audio, video, and lighting the same way we treat everything else on your network — designed with intent, documented, and monitored.

What we do

We design, install, and support fully networked AV and lighting systems for conference rooms, auditoriums, houses of worship, campuses, and multi-site enterprises. Every project is built on IP-based platforms, so audio, video, and control all live on — and respect — the same network your business depends on.

Networked audio Dante-based audio distribution, DSP, and processing that scales from a single huddle room to a full campus.

Networked video AV-over-IP video distribution, digital signage, and conferencing systems built for crisp, low-latency performance.

AV switching Matrix and video-over-IP switching that route audio and video cleanly across any room or venue — one of our core specialties.

Networked lighting Architectural and show lighting integrated directly into your control ecosystem — not a separate silo.

Automation and control One-touch control of rooms, venues, and entire buildings — scheduling, presets, and show control included.

Network integration AV traffic properly segmented, prioritized, and secured on your existing Cisco, Dell, and Microsoft infrastructure.

Platforms we deploy

We're not tied to a single manufacturer, and we don't force-fit a platform where it doesn't belong. We hold real, hands-on expertise across the industry's leading networked AV and control ecosystems.

 

QSC Q-SYS Our go-to platform for unifying audio, video, and control on a single, software-based network. Q-SYS lets us deliver enterprise-scale AV without racks of proprietary hardware — easier to manage, easier to expand, easier for us to support remotely.

Dante (Audinate) The industry standard for audio-over-IP. We design Dante networks that deliver pristine, low-latency audio across dozens or hundreds of endpoints on standard network infrastructure.

ETC For architectural and show lighting control, we design on ETC Mosaic — a networked show control platform for driving building facades, themed environments, and live show cues in sync with the rest of your AV system — and ETC Echo, a wireless DMX/RDM solution for reliable lighting control without running new wiring.

Shure Microphones, wireless systems, and conferencing hardware that we integrate into networked audio designs for clear, dependable voice capture in any room.

Medialon Show control and complex automation sequencing for venues, exhibits, and experiences where audio, video, lighting, and show elements all need to trigger in perfect sync.

Crestron, Crestron Lighting & Zum Room and building control, scheduling panels, and AV switching for organizations that need polished, reliable, single-touch control at scale. We also design with Crestron Lighting for full architectural lighting control and Zum, Crestron's wireless lighting and shading platform, for fast, clean installs where running new low-voltage wiring isn't practical.

Dell, Cisco & Microsoft The backbone underneath it all. We build AV on the same enterprise-grade switching, servers, and collaboration tools — including Microsoft Teams Rooms — that already run your business, so AV strengthens your network instead of straining it.

Automation and control: the system behind the system

The best AV system is one nobody has to think about. We design automation and control layers that turn complex, multi-vendor AV into a single, simple experience:

  • One-touch room and building control — lights, displays, audio, and shades on one interface.
  • Centralized scheduling that ties rooms, resources, and AV state together automatically.
  • Show control sequencing for venues and experiences where timing has to be exact.
  • Remote monitoring and diagnostics, so we typically catch and resolve issues before you notice them.
  • Secure, segmented network design that keeps AV traffic isolated from — but interoperable with — your core IT systems.

Because we manage networks for a living, automation isn't an afterthought bolted on by an AV integrator — it's designed in from day one, monitored the same way we monitor your servers, and backed by the same support team.

Why work with an MSP for AV

  • One team, one call: The people who manage your network are the same people managing your AV — no finger-pointing between vendors.
  • Proactive support: AV endpoints get patched, monitored, and maintained just like every other device on your network.
  • Security built in: Properly segmented VLANs and access controls mean AV gear never becomes the weak link in your network.
  • Built to scale: From a single conference room to a multi-building campus, the architecture we design today grows with you tomorrow.
