There’s a lot more to AV integration than installing equipment.

From accounting for ambient lighting and acoustics during the design stage to installation, programming, training, and ongoing support, an integrator looks at the entire system and how it needs to function in the space.

We take a closer look at what AV integrators do, how we work alongside general contractors, consultants, and IT teams, and why early involvement matters.

The best AV system isn't necessarily the one with the most controls. It's the one that gives the right people the right controls.

At the First Unitarian Church of Victoria, the sanctuary is used for worship services, performances, community events, and rentals. The AV system needed to provide enough control for complex live events with multiple audio and video sources and be simple enough for outside users at the same time.

That's why we designed the system with two operating modes. Operator mode gives trained users full access to the production system, while renter mode uses simplified controls through a touch panel to operate the microphones, cameras, and video.

By making the AV system easy for guests to use, the church now has a professionally equipped event space that can be used by the church, the community, and outside groups.

Technology is constantly advancing. Whether its new cameras, room systems, collaboration platforms, or management tools, these innovations are changing how meeting spaces are designed, used, and supported.

Over the past few months, several of our manufacturing partners have introduced new products and updates shaping the future of AV. Some bring new intelligence to cameras and meeting rooms, while others are focused on making collaboration systems easier to deploy, manage, and integrate with the technology organizations already use.

Check out our blog to learn more about the latest video conferencing and collaborative innovations from companies like Logitech, Yealink, Barco, Crestron, and QSCQ-SYS.

Most meeting room frustrations aren't caused by Microsoft Teams, they're caused by how the room is designed.

Using the wrong camera, relying on laptop audio, or deploying the same technology in every space no matter the size can lead to poor meeting experiences and unnecessary IT support requests.

In our latest blog, we explore what makes a successful Microsoft Teams Room in 2026, including the latest AI features, licensing options, and how to choose the right technology for your meeting spaces. Whether you're upgrading one meeting room or planning a company-wide rollout, this guide covers everything you need to know.

What exactly is AV-over-IP? And where does IPMX fit in?

As commercial AV systems continue to evolve, more organizations are moving toward network-based technology that makes systems easier to expand and manage. While it isn't the right solution for every project, it represents a more flexible approach to designing AV systems that can adapt as technology changes.

Our latest blog explains what these systems do, and how it differs from traditional integration.

Our team spent time with our manufacturing partners and got hands-on with the latest innovations at 2026. One of the standouts was the new Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling M Plus (TCC M Plus).

Building on the beamforming technology the TeamConnect series is known for, the TCC M Plus introduces new features like PartnerLink, developed with Q-SYS to simplify microphone integration, along with updates to DeviceHub for easier remote monitoring and management.

It's a great example of a trend we saw throughout the show: manufacturers are continuing to simplify deployment while making commercial audio systems easier to manage.

We cover this announcement, along with other highlights from Shure, Audio-Technica USA, Biamp, Atlas IED, and more, in our latest InfoComm 2026 Audio Recap.

Meeting rooms are about to get a whole lot busier.

As of July 6, 2026, Canadian federal employees who are eligible for hybrid work are required to be onsite four days a week, while executives have returned to the office full time. That's a lot of staff suddenly back in the office.

With office occupancy increasing, having the right meeting room technology can be the difference between a workplace that feels overcrowded and one that just works. More demand means more pressure on meeting rooms, collaboration spaces, and the technology that supports them.

In our latest blog, we explore how the federal government's return-to-office mandate could impact meeting spaces and what organizations can do now to prepare.

Project Highlight: Quw'utsun Secondary School

From assemblies and sporting events to presentations, performances, and community gatherings, today's schools are designed to serve far more than just students.

We recently had the opportunity to support the new Quw'utsun Secondary School in Duncan, BC, by integrating AV solutions in their multi-purpose gymnasium and optimizing technology in The Gathering Place, a community-focused space designed to reference the historical importance of a traditional Quw’utsun Bighouse.

The project included:
- Two large-format LED video walls
- Biamp Community sound system
- Crestron control system
- Custom scoreboard software
- Bose Professional loudspeakers

Projects like this show how thoughtfully integrated AV technology can create engaging spaces for learning and community connection, helping schools maximize the value of every space they create.
