Audio-Visual Systems
Integrated communication and presentation environments for meeting rooms, public spaces, operations centres and customer-facing facilities.
Capability domain 05 of 07
What the discipline covers
Audio-visual systems are how people inside a facility communicate, present and receive information: from meeting rooms to public concourses and operations centres.
Evotec delivers AV control, interactive displays, digital signage, video walls, IPTV, meeting-room and office signage, meeting-space AV equipment, and public address systems including PAVA.

- Public Address (PA) and PAVA
Its role in an integrated project
Meeting-room AV, the atrium display, digital signage, background music and public address serve people moving through and working in the building. Uses the network for IPTV, signage and collaboration, and supports security operations with paging and control-room displays.
Seven systems in one building
Cabling, networks, computing, security, audio-visual, sensing and building systems share pathways, rooms, power and platforms. Coordinating them as one package is what keeps interfaces from becoming conflicts on site.
01Physical Infrastructure
Risers, cable pathways, structured cabling, racks and protected power run through every floor and terminate in the communications rooms.
Every other system depends on it: networks ride the cabling, computing sits in its racks, and security, AV and IoT end-points draw protected power from it.
02Network Infrastructure
Core and floor switching, the campus backbone, and wireless access points carry traffic between floors, rooms and the outside world.
Connects users to central computing, carries a dedicated security LAN, and gives AV, IoT and building platforms a path to their controllers.
03Servers & Central Computing
Servers, storage and virtualisation sit in the protected computer room at plant level, alongside backup and recovery platforms.
Hosts the management platforms other disciplines rely on, from video management to building management and content control.
04Physical Security & Safety Systems
Fire detection, video surveillance, access control readers and entry control are placed at entrances, circulation routes, the perimeter and critical rooms.
Runs over the security network, records to central platforms, and shares public address and control-room displays with audio-visual systems.
05Audio-Visual Systems
Meeting-room AV, the atrium display, digital signage, background music and public address serve people moving through and working in the building.
Uses the network for IPTV, signage and collaboration, and supports security operations with paging and control-room displays.
06IoT & IIoT Systems
Environmental, occupancy and equipment sensors on each floor and the roof report into building and edge platforms.
Feeds data to building management and central platforms over the network, and can raise events into security and operations workflows.
07Specialised Systems
Building management, control panels and specialised plant systems sit at plant level and in the control room.
Brings readings from sensors, power and mechanical systems together, hosted on central computing and reached over the network.
How it connects to the other disciplines
Delivery considerations
Each discipline follows the same stage-gated lifecycle. These are the points that typically need attention for this one.
- Room acoustics, sightlines and display sizing coordinated with architectural and interior design.
- Signage and IPTV content distribution planned across the network.
- User training and operating documentation included at handover.
Where it applies
- Stadiums & Major Venues
- Enterprise & Commercial Facilities
- Government & Public Infrastructure
- Cities & Connected Infrastructure
