ADA Compliance; Event Planners hear this message!

Hearing is an essential part of each audience member's experience. The sound of a solo violin, an audio description in a theater,  a guide in a museum; a visitor’s experience is defined visually and aurally. Williams Sound is one of our go to manufacturer's of several ADA compliant solutions.  They have a large selection of FM, infrared and digital communication systems. The systems are designed to meet DDA and ADA requirements. It's comforting to know no one is being left out from the message and experience you are providing. 

Contact Atlanta Pro AV for you more details for selecting the right Assisted Listening, Interpretation, or Induction Loop system for your needs.

Our favorite wireless gizmos!

There have been so many great wireless products that have come out in the past year. We make use of several regularly.

For our commercial installation purposes nothing is easier to use for sharing presentations than Barco's Clickshare. It recently won AV Magazine's 'Collaboration Product of the Year’. The entry level model is $1750.00 and come with two usb share buttons.

The Clickshare scales the resolution automatically and makes it simple for anyone with a laptop or mobile device to share their screen. Ask anyone at Atlanta Pro AV to set up a demo for your conference room today!

Our next wireless product that we love and represent is Peerless' HD Flow.

It wirelessly transmits HD Video up to 131ft!!!!
It has unbelievable clarity. You can't tell it is wireless! It has come in handy in many applications. We have streamed camera and audio feeds through walls at red carpet events at the Fox Theatre. It has come in very handy in installations when architectural features won't allow invasive drilling or cutting.

Finally we have used Enttec's Art Net device ODE for several lighting applications. Live events and architectural lighting can both be integrated wirelessly when using the ODE Art-Net device with a 3rd party app like Luminair. Luminair lets you use any ios device to control RGB fixtures, Intelligent fixtures, and dmx devices.

Stop letting your AV company leave tangled cables around and call Atlanta Pro AV for your wireless audio-visual solutions!

We love art!

We always try to support the arts whenever possible. Whether it's by donating equipment to a non-profit organization like Dashboard Co Op, or by helping art festivals like Flux Night.  Realizing an artist's vision by taking it from conception to design is an incredible experience.

Here are some examples of art projects for which we have had the pleasure to participate.

Wireless Digital Signage

We were recently tasked by the general manager of The Buckhead Club to provide a digital signage solution for their meeting rooms. The days of printing, cutting/editing, and re-printing pieces of paper to display meeting information had become a frustratingly arduous task.

I knew that the existing finished ceiling and thick fire-walls would make it a challenge to run network cable back to the office from the meeting rooms.  Thanks to our friends at Gefen, we had wireless options. Knowing that the club didn't want to spend a fortune, we were happy to discover the reasonably priced Gefen's digital signage players.

Our lead technician Sean Griffiths devised a wooden housing that could be easily modified to account for the wiring, conduit, and other unknown obstacles. I initially thought of using prefabricated metal boxes, but the wood made the system much more practical. A simple yet elegant framing was inexpensively purchased from Home Depot, along with a red mahogany stain to match the club's interior decor.

Most business professionals are familiar with Powerpoint, and the Gefen software made it easy since it integrates seamlessly with any version. The system not only is user-friendly with powerpoint, but many other universal file-types are supported. The players can display full 1080p video content with stereo audio. A client can have a dynamic video with sound to greet their attendees. Gefen has truly modernized digital signage with an affordable, innovative wireless product.

AJC Decatur Book Festival 2013

Our good friends at the AJC introduced us to the organizers of the AJC Decatur Book festival a few months ago. With 85,00 attendees, the AJC Decatur Book Festival was the largest festival in Metro Atlanta on Labor Day Weekend. Having just become a resident of Decatur, I couldn't wait to be a part of such a phenomenal event. This year's festival far exceeded my already high expectations. We are already looking forward to 2014!

"The AJC-Decatur Book Festival is a remarkably complex event, featuring 20 different venues scattered across the city, 200 exhibitors with varying technical needs, and 600 presenters including dancers, opera singers and elaborate light projection installations. Even the most demanding of our presenters were thrilled with the level of service Atlanta Pro AV offered. They took it all on and made it all work seamlessly. " Daren Wang Executive Director---AJC Decatur Book Festival
