Control Systems;  

Solve a problem - In many presentation environments there are a number of items to control, such as a projector or plasma screen, video, DVD, amplifier and PC. If each of these products has a remote control, the running of a multimedia presentation can get complicated, especially if a remote control has gone missing!

If you then add in video conferencing, lighting, air conditioning etc then operation of the room can become a complete nightmare. The answer is to incorporate a room control system.

Full Range of Solutions - at the more sophisticated end of the market it is possible to program systems that will drive all the functionality of the individual items of equipment as well as to program combination events. For example you could have a button that when pushed; switched on the DVD, automatically dimmed the lights, turned on the audio system and closed the curtains.

At entry level we provide a simple push button solution that enables all the major equipment to be controlled from a single panel. InchBrook Audio Visual carries a range of control systems from NEVO, AMX and Crestron.

In-house Programmers - InchBrook Audio Visual employs its own control system installers and programmers. This ensures quality, reliability and ensure continuous support and maintenance of the highest quality.
