AV control system & matrix
Control processors, touch panels, wall plates and AV matrices that switch sources, route audio and video, and set the room to a known state.

Overview
One button for the meeting, not five remotes.
A meeting room fails at the handover. The projector is on the wrong input, the video conference is muted, the lights are at presentation level and nobody knows which remote to use. AV control exists to make the room behave the same way every time.
The control system is a small computer with a documented state machine: “presentation”, “video call”, “discussion”, “off”. Each state sets the display, the audio route, the lights and the blinds. The matrix switches the sources; the control processor sets the route.
We design the control layer after the audio and video signal flow is fixed. The touch panel is the last thing to be programmed, not the first thing to be chosen. The client gets a room that can be operated by a non-technical chair and a fallback that works when the control network is down.
Manufacturing & system package
Manufactured in our own factory. Available as a standalone family, or combined with PA, conference, AV and ballroom families into one complete system package and one combined proposal. ODM and OEM programmes available.
Documented room states
Presentation, video call, discussion and off. Each state is a written recipe, not an ad-hoc button sequence.
Matrix and audio routing
Video and audio routes are separated. The matrix switches the source; the DSP sets the level and the loudspeaker zone.
Fallback
A wall plate or a manual override keeps the room usable if the touch panel or control network fails.
Simple for the chair
The panel shows the meeting, not the equipment. Advanced controls are behind a technician code.
Reference specification
What are the reference specifications and selection rules?
The table is a design reference, not a model datasheet. The quoted model carries the final ratings.
| Item | Reference value or guidance |
|---|---|
| Signal formats | HDMI / HDBaseT |
| Room states | 4 |
| Control points | Touch / plate |
| Manual override | Fallback |
| Control | Processor, touch panel, wall plate, software |
| Matrix | HDMI / DVI / SDI / HDBaseT, modular |
| Audio | DSP, matrix, delay, EQ, limiter |
| Protocols | RS-232, IR, TCP/IP, relay, GPIO |
| Room states | Presentation, video call, discussion, off |
| Fallback | Manual plate or front-panel override |
| Single meeting room | A compact control processor with a wall panel and a 4×2 matrix is usually enough. Keep the state machine simple: presentation, video call, off. |
| Boardroom | A larger matrix, a touch panel and a room scheduler. Add a technician page for source selection and audio routing. Keep the chair’s page minimal. |
| Divisible hall | One control system per partition configuration, with a master panel that selects the configuration. The matrix and DSP presets follow the partition state. |
| Government chamber | Control, voting and interpretation are separate subsystems with a common operator view. The control system should not be the single point of failure for voting. |
| Retrofit | Keep the existing displays and sources where possible. Add a control layer with a documented signal map. Label every cable and every input. |

Questions
Frequently asked questions
The questions that usually decide the scope: loudspeaker count, amplifier size, fire interface, certification and who installs the system. If your question is not here, send it with the building data.
Ask an application engineerDo I need a control system for a small meeting room?
Not always. A room with one display, one laptop input and one video-call bar can be simpler without a control processor. A control system earns its cost when there are multiple sources, a matrix, lights, blinds and a repeatable meeting procedure.
What is the difference between a matrix and a switcher?
A switcher selects one input to one output. A matrix can route any input to any output, so two rooms or two displays can show different sources at the same time. The matrix is chosen from the signal flow, not from the port count alone.
Can the control system integrate with the BMS?
Yes, through relay, GPIO, RS-232 or IP. The integration points are documented before programming. We coordinate with the BMS contractor and test the handshake during commissioning.
What happens if the touch panel fails?
A wall plate or a front-panel override should keep the room usable. The control program and the configuration file are handed over so a local integrator can restore the system.
Can you program the room for a specific meeting procedure?
Yes. The state machine is written from the client’s procedure: who speaks, when the display changes, when the recording starts. The procedure is documented and signed off before programming.
Next step
Send the room, not the model
Tell us the building type, the zones, the ceiling height and the fire interface. We will check whether this family fits before we quote it, and show how it combines with the rest of the system in one proposal.
- Coverage and tap-load calculation
- Interface list for fire, paging and network
- Certificate scope confirmed per model
- ODM / OEM or private-label requirement
Project inquiry
Ask about Control & matrix
Send the room or building data once. We return one combined proposal covering PA, conference, ballroom and AV, with the equipment schedule, interface list and the questions that still need an answer. ODM and OEM inquiries are welcome. Drawings are welcome but not required.
