AV that gets out of the way.

Conference rooms, sports-bar video walls, multi-zone audio, video-over-IP, and digital signage — all controlled from a single tablet, by users who don't need a tech background.

Overview

Why the AV usually breaks down.

AV is the most visible part of any building-technology project — and the part most often installed in a way that creates more problems than it solves. Conference rooms with audio that won't pick up the back wall. Bars with screens nobody can switch. Boardrooms running on a remote control somebody lost. We do AV the way it's supposed to be done: designed for the room, controlled from a single interface, and tied into the rest of the building.

A modern AV install should be invisible to the user. The bartender swipes through screens on an iPad and the right game appears on the right TV. The CFO walks into a meeting, taps "join," and the camera frames the room while the mic picks up the back wall. The receptionist updates the lobby sign content from a browser. When these things require training, support tickets, or "the IT guy" to intervene, the AV system has failed at its primary job.

We deploy RTI for control programming — the iPad interface or wall panel that ties the AV stack together. Q-Sys (QSC) for systems that need both control AND audio/video processing — conference rooms, restaurants, performing venues, anywhere zones, mics, and displays need to coordinate. WyreStorm and other video-over-IP platforms for HDMI distribution at scale. BlueSound for multi-room background music in hospitality. Watchfire for LED video walls and outdoor digital signage.

Like everything else we install, AV doesn't live in a vacuum. The network underneath it matters — video-over-IP eats bandwidth, conference cameras need consistent quality. The control system has to talk to lighting, climate, and access where it makes sense (conference rooms come online when badged into). We design AV as part of the integrated building, not as a standalone project.

Key benefits

AV that people actually use.

Real AV outcomes — one-tablet control, rooms that join in one tap, audio that reaches the back wall.

One-tablet control

Bartender, conference room user, or facility manager controls the whole AV system from a single iPad. No multiple remotes, no "which input?" questions.

Teams Rooms and Zoom certified

Conference rooms certified by Microsoft and Zoom. One-button join, camera framing, room audio that actually picks up the back wall.

Multi-zone audio that works

Bar zone, dining zone, patio zone — each with separate volume and source. Paging mic at host stand for last-call. Bartender controls everything from a tablet.

Video over IP

Any source on any display, anywhere on the building network. Drag a feed from one screen to another. Add a screen later — it joins the matrix.

LED video walls

Watchfire LED for high-impact lobby walls, sports-bar centerpieces, and outdoor signage. Manufactured in the US; long lifespan; the right choice for visible-from-the-street impact.

Digital signage that updates remotely

Lobby displays, menu boards, wayfinding — all updated from a browser. Schedules, dayparting, and templated content built in.

Problems we solve

The AV problems we see over and over.

If any of these sound like your conference room, sports bar, or lobby, you're in the right place.

The problem

Bartenders can't switch screens during a busy shift. Customers complain about the wrong game.

How we fix it

RTI iPad behind the bar. Drag a feed to a screen. Adjust volume. Done in seconds.

The problem

Conference room audio doesn't pick up the back wall. Remote participants can't hear half the meeting.

How we fix it

Q-Sys with ceiling-mounted mics sized for the room. Beamforming so the back wall comes through clearly.

The problem

Restaurant audio has the wrong song in the dining room and the bar can't adjust independently.

How we fix it

Multi-zone audio with bartender-controlled volume and source per zone. Background music in dining, game audio in bar, paging at the host stand.

The problem

You have 25 screens behind the bar and switching is a nightmare. Every football season is a support call.

How we fix it

WyreStorm video-over-IP matrix. Bartender drags feeds. Add screens; they join the matrix. No re-cabling required.

The problem

Lobby display still shows last year's promotion. Updating it requires someone with a laptop and a USB stick.

How we fix it

Cloud-based digital signage. Update from a browser. Schedule content. Day-part different messages by time.

The problem

Conference room AV requires a manual to operate. Meetings start 5 minutes late while someone figures out the inputs.

How we fix it

One-button-join Teams Room. User taps a single button; the meeting starts. No inputs, no remotes, no manuals.

Features in detail

Everything included in an AV project.

Displays, control, audio, video walls, conferencing — when we say "complete AV," this is what we mean.

01

Conference rooms (small, medium, executive)

Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms certified setups. Q-Sys for audio processing. Ceiling-mounted mics that pick up the back wall. Displays sized for actual seating. One-button-join control panel. Calendar integration so the room knows what meeting is starting.

02

Multi-zone audio

Restaurants, bars, retail, healthcare waiting rooms. Separate volume and source per zone. Paging mic at host stand. BlueSound for streaming music, Q-Sys for processing on larger jobs.

03

Video walls and digital signage

Watchfire LED walls for high-impact spaces. Tiled displays for budget-sensitive installs. Content management cloud-based, updated from anywhere.

04

Sports bar AV systems

8 to 40+ screens, each switchable independently. Multi-zone audio. RTI iPad control. Bartender-level user experience.

05

Video-over-IP distribution

Send any source to any display anywhere on the network — WyreStorm NetworkHD, Q-Sys video routing, or platform-appropriate alternatives. Scales with the number of sources and displays. New screen? It joins the matrix.

06

Conference cameras and beamforming mics

PTZ cameras with auto-framing. Beamforming ceiling mics. Echo cancellation. Far-end participants hear and see what they need.

07

Custom control programming

Custom programming so the interface looks like your room — RTI, Q-Sys, or platform-appropriate. Bartenders see "Bar," "Patio," "Dining" — not technical zone names. Updates over the air.

08

Digital signage & LED displays

Watchfire LED video walls, indoor digital signage, outdoor LED displays for hospitality and retail. Cloud-managed content updates from the operator side.

Why Alpheento

Why clients choose us for AV over the alternatives.

What AV clients actually want from a partner — rooms that work on Monday morning, not a demo that impressed them at Infocomm.

01

RTI, Q-Sys, WyreStorm experience

Years of deployments across these platforms. Custom control programming included on every project.

02

Designed for the actual user

Bartender, executive, receptionist — interface designed for who will use it, not for the AV installer.

03

Integrated with network and access

AV rides on a network we engineered. Conference rooms can integrate with access control. Not a standalone project.

04

Programming included

RTI custom programming, Q-Sys tuning, content management setup — included in the install, not a separate charge.

Industries that use this

Where we deploy it most often.

AV requirements shift by building type — CRE Teams Rooms and boardrooms, hospitality F&B and event spaces, education classrooms and lecture capture, houses of worship for live production.

Related solutions

Often combined with this one.

AV works when it's on the same network as everything else and controlled from one tablet — not a shelf of remotes.

Manufacturer partners

Brands we install & support.

For AV, we build around Crestron, QSC, Shure, and Sony — control, DSP, audio, and displays that survive a live meeting or a Sunday-morning service.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common AV questions — Teams Room certification, room DSP, control processors, and how AV rides on the same network as everything else.

Most rooms are wired, commissioned, and trained in 1–3 days once equipment is on site. Equipment lead times are usually the longer item — typically 2–6 weeks depending on availability.

Yes. We deliver Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms certified setups, including calendar integration, one-button join, and meeting-aware automation.

Yes — usually for clients who already work with us on a commercial property, or for high-end home automation. Same RTI control system.

Multi-zone audio uses physical and DSP-based isolation so bar audio doesn't bleed into dining. We design isolation into the install, not as an afterthought.

Yes. RTI supports remote management. Property managers can adjust the lobby display, restaurant operators can change menu boards remotely.

We help you select a licensed background music service (BlueSound integrates cleanly with most). Licensing itself is the operator's responsibility; we point you at the right options.

Yes. Watchfire LED for outdoor displays — weather-rated, high-brightness, long-lifespan. Common for restaurants, retail, and roadside visibility.

WyreStorm NetworkHD scales to dozens of sources and displays on a single network. We size the network for the actual count plus headroom.

Q-Sys is enterprise-grade DSP with deep customization — used in large conference rooms, performing venues, and complex multi-zone installs. For simpler installs, we sometimes spec smaller platforms.
