Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How does the process start? I’m building a hotel on an Indian reservation and would like video coverage for the conference rooms, audio for the lobby, and an internal hotel channel to promote our restaurants, lounges and casinos, with security cameras that are fail safe.
A. A-Vidd specializes in seamless audio video integration that works as simply as possible so that anybody on your staff can keep it running effectively. We begin with a comprehensive site survey, detailed equipment evaluation, sales, integration and installation. We don’t hand over the key until your installation works as flawlessly as intended.
Q. As our congregation continues to grow, we’re considering the installation of an image magnification and projection system for our church. We gather in a magnificent old building that will be a challenge to anybody trying to pull our services into the 21st century. Can A-Vidd help?
A. A-Vidd has installed many audio video systems in houses of worship throughout the Southwest. Since church architecture is unique, we have a faced and met a slew of challenges, from inadequate power to over reflective audio surfaces, and unusual sight lines. A-Vidd is committed to system solutions, not slapping in a box from the shelf that is barely good enough. Call us for our site survey to determine how best to deliver what you need.
Q. Our credit union is trying to make the time in line pass more pleasantly for its members. We’ve talked about installing televisions in the lobby, but were also discussing if we could use the system to educate our members about more of what we offer. Can A-Vidd help us go further and put in a digital signage system?
A. A-Vidd can install an entire audio system to reach your members while they wait, balancing targeted messages with entertainment. We have a range of options that we can suggest after taking a look at your branches.
Q. I understand that one way to attract a younger crowd to our church is to install an audio video system. Has this worked for others?
A. In an MTV world, many pastors have come to recognize the value of incorporating video parables into their homilies. Not only do they appeal to a younger crowd, but they often have more impact than a talking head. More importantly, video can promote increased community involvement from your congregation since many are eager to volunteer helping with video. A-Vidd will be happy to consult on the best way to deliver the results you need within the budget you have planned.
Q. My sports bar is expanding. I see the need for several more viewing areas. Is there some way that you can divide these so that we don’t get a lot of competing audio between multiple events?
A. A-Vidd can insure that your patrons view games in individually controlled audio zones so that they can focus on a basketball game without hockey intruding. We are up to date on the latest specs involving refresh rates and digital artifacts so that the flat panels we install will provide the crystal sharp video that your patrons expect.
Q. Blame our new mayor. Since his election he’s complained that our city owned TV channel just didn’t deliver that kind of picture quality he was now used to. When the local cable franchise renewed, he got enough of a fee boost to upgrade our facility to high definition – but I don’t know where to begin. Help!
A. A-Vidd’s Certified Technology Specialists have waded through all the competing High Definition formats and are eager to provide equipment that will deliver what you need in a cost effective manner, whether it’s a single camera, or a multi-camera facility. We have a depth of experience in dealing with studio and cable head end installations.
Q. With soaring airline tickets, my comptroller is after me to have our staff cut back on meet and greets within the company. We’ve done a lot more conference calling, but it would be good to actually see a person’s reaction when you pitch an idea. How viable is video conferencing today? What would it take to install a system in each of our four branch offices?
A A-Vidd can install a system that would allow you not only to see and hear your colleagues, but to switch effortlessly between power point presentations, DVD’s, CD’s, VHS, ¾” or any legacy video source. Video conferencing is now a cost effective corporate communications option.
Q. With the Internet, my trade school is considering going into long distant learning. We know that there would be great demand for the training we offer since we would not only provide lectures, but how to modules showing procedure. What can you do to help?
A. A-Vidd’s production division can script, shoot and edit your hands on modules. As part of post production, we can encode the video for on line access and DVD both. We can also set you up with a dedicated server for archiving.
