The future of AV control systems with tablets and iPads as all-rounders

You have created the perfect speech and therefore the presentation should run just as smoothly. Imagine yourself stepping in front of an audience and start adjusting the entire auditorium or classroom to your needs – with just a few taps – practical, isn’t it? No frantic search for the right remote control or the right cable connection – it’s like magic. The smart media control via tablet or iPad is revolutionizing the way we implement technology in schools, universities, companies and museums. It combines comfort with efficiency, and creates impressive experiences. Find out more about smart AV control systems with tablets and iPads, as well as the opportunities this concept offers. This article will elaborate, how integrated media control can upgrade your teaching experiences, presentations, exhibitions, and how you can benefit from centralised multimedia control.

More than just a trend: AV control systems with tablets and iPads as game changers

AV control solutions with tablets or iPads enable the navigation of imaging technology, sound and lighting engineering via a single, portable device. With only a few clicks, you can start your presentations, play music or adjust the lighting atmosphere. This kind of smart media management is based on intuitive user interfaces, facilitating access even to technically unskilled users. At its core, it is about linking multiple media sources and devices with one central control unit. The different control options can be adapted to your necessary needs – whether you need them for educational purposes, meetings or interactive exhibitions. Tablets are more than just remote controls. As multifunctional AV equipment, they enable the user to program scenarios in advance, and to execute them by pressing a button. Such solutions make the technological aspect disappear and draw all attention to the content – a real win for both users and their audiences.

You can use AV control systems for tablets and iPads in these areas

The areas of application for AV control systems with tablets or iPads are as diverse as the technology itself. Are you questioning whether this innovation is a good option for you? Use your tablet as well as your iPad as a smart AV control tool to operate the following room functions:

• Audio systems such as loudspeakers
• Video sources
• Projectors and beamers
• Lighting systems
• Shading
• Air conditioning

For instance, you can start presentations and video conferences in the conference room, activate microphones, and adjust the ambient lighting – with just one user interface. In the following sections, we will take a closer look at smart media systems and solutions in different areas:

School 4.0: AV control via tablet and iPad in educational institutions

Use tablets or iPads for centralised media control in schools and universities to create interactive and dynamic teaching as well as seminar experiences.

• Teachers can switch between digital panel pictures, presentations and videos, seamlessly and without any technical interruptions.
• Visual functions as well as audio systems can be switched on for listening comprehension exercises.
• Quiz questions can be displayed on the tablet, live surveys can be conducted, and content can be shared directly with your students.

Especially in modern learning environments which focus on group work and digital content, AV control systems will become an indispensable tool that not only upgrades interactivity but also saves precious teaching time.

Interactive business: smart digital media control with tablets and iPads for companies

The centralised control of media devices via tablet or iPad is becoming increasingly popular in conference and seminar rooms. It enables professional presentations without the speaker having to focus on technical processes.

• Presentations can be controlled intuitively without the speaker being distracted from the topic.
• Instead of wasting time on technical problems, the main focus remains on the content.
• Furthermore, you can use tablets for video conferences by centrally controlling cameras and microphones.
• Plus, room functions like loudspeakers, beamers, lighting systems, shading control and air-conditioning systems can be adjusted – via one single control centre.

Whether you are using AV control systems for specialised lectures, workshops or meetings in your company – the versatility of smart media management ensures a smooth, efficient and professional usage.

Exhibitions with mixed media: AV control systems with tablets and iPads for museums

Even museums benefit from centralised control systems via tablet or iPad since they make them more dynamic and interactive.

• Stage modern or classic art multi-medially, thanks to additional light installations, videos or sound effects.
• Lead visitors through interactive stations as part of your exhibitions.
• Exhibits can be staged thanks to tablets or iPads. This concept is particularly helpful for changing exhibitions since it offers maximal flexibility.
• At the same time, staff can control the entire technological equipment if required.

Central AV control systems with tablets and iPads offer many advantages

The most important advantage is the simplification of complex processes. Whichever tool you had to operate with different remote controls or control panels, you can now navigate them with one central AV control system via a tablet. Thanks to their functionality, you can save time and reduce potential errors. Especially in stressful situations like presentations or events, this ensures more safety and professionalism.

Flexibility is another plus. You can program your tablets individually and adapt them to the users’ needs. Scenarios can be stored on any BYOD devices (bring your own device) as well as retrieved – be it dimming the lights for a film screening or opening the curtains for a presentation.

And finally, mobility plays a major part. Since tablets are portable, they can be used anywhere and everywhere in the room. This maximises one’s movement range and enables spontaneous adaptations during usage. At the same time, intuitive handling promotes a broad user acceptance, since no complex workshops are required. Whether it is teachers, co-workers or museum visitors – they all benefit from its easy handling.

Practical tablet and iPad wall mounts

After using your tablet or iPad as audio visual devices, you might be asking yourself, where to store the device? High-quality wall mounts offer a both: an elegant as well as practical solution. They not only ensure that the tablet or the iPad is stored correctly after usage, but at the same time recharges itself thanks to an integrated charging cable – which is ideal for meeting rooms and classrooms. Thanks to this function, you can charge your tablet permanently connected to power supply. In museums, these wall mounts offer integrated theft protection for iPads and tablets so that the AV control devices stay where they are. With Displine, you will find iPad wall mounts as well as Samsung tablet wall mounts which are perfectly tailored to the control pannel. This combination of organization, safety and charging function make these wall mounts an indispensable operating element for any and every control system. Apart from that, we do offer solutions to set up your iPad in the room instead of hanging the smart media technology control system on the wall. With stylish iPad stands you can integrate a modern eyecatcher in classrooms, conference rooms and exhibitions.
