Frequently asked questions about the AV sector
This page contains answers to frequently asked questions about the AV sector and the role of AVITA. The FAQ section helps you to find the most relevant information quickly and clearly.
What is meant by the AV sector?
The AV sector refers to the audiovisual industry, which brings together spaces, technology and content. It covers, for example, meeting and teaching facilities, events, arenas, shopping centres, transport environments, as well as media and content production. The common denominator is that sound, image and control systems support smooth communication and a good user experience.
Who is AVITA’s information for?
AVITA provides independent information for everyone who plans, orders, tenders or uses AV solutions – such as procurers, decision-makers, designers, clients and anyone interested in AV solutions. The goal is to support well-founded and sustainable AV decisions.
How can AVITA support the planning of an AV procurement?
AVITA helps to define the need, set clear objectives and find the right experts. We provide guidance on needs assessment, technical specifications, tendering and quality assurance of implementation – especially for public procurements, where the requirements of the procurement law must also be taken into account.
When should an AV specialist be involved in a project?
An AV specialist should be involved already in the early stages of a project, when spaces or services are being planned. This way AV solutions can be integrated with other design work (construction, building services, interior design, IT) and it can be ensured that the systems support user needs and work as a coherent whole.
What are the benefits of AVITA’s quality guidelines and publications?
The quality guidelines and publications help ensure that an AV procurement proceeds in a controlled way and that the end result meets user needs. They make it easier to compare offers, define task lists (for example for AV system design) and agree on roles, responsibilities and quality assurance.
Where can I find reliable AV suppliers and partners?
AVITA’s company directory is coming to this site and will help you find reliable AV partners in one place. Until then, AVITA’s experts can help you look for suitable suppliers, designers and other professionals for your AV projects.
Where do AV solutions appear in everyday life?
AV solutions are often invisible in everyday life – and that is when they work best. They are used, for example, in meeting and hybrid workspaces, education, concerts and events, sports arenas, shopping centres, transport environments, museums, as well as in media and content production such as studios and streaming.
