Top 5 AV Technologies Every Workplace Should Invest In

In this fast-moving world, offices have to stay abreast of technology to remain efficient, connected, and productive. The second-most-popular area that technology has huge repercussions over is AV-Audio Visual. The AV solutions make people communicate better, present ideas clearly, and collaborate smoothly, be it in the same room or in a remote setting. If one is setting up a new office or renovating the current one, here are 5 AV technologies that each office must have to invest in:

1. Video Conferencing Systems

Video conferencing technology is now a necessity in any workplace nowadays. Irrespective of whether your teams are in-house, at home, or somewhere across the country, a competent video conferencing system must connect them all.

Why it's important: 

Facilitates meetings that are easier and more personal than a plain telephone session

Saves travel time and cost

Makes remote teams feel included

What to look for: 

Clear camera (HD or 4K)

Good microphones and loudspeakers

One set of applications that are very user-friendly include Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and the like. 

2. Interactive Display or Smartboard

Think of an interactive display as a giant touchscreen TV. It replaces the aged and clunky whiteboards or projectors and allows you to draw, write, and move things around while in a meeting or presentation.

Why it’s important:

Great for brainstorming sessions

Easy to share and save notes

Encourages team collaboration

These smart boards are especially useful in meeting rooms, training sessions, or creative team spaces.

3. Wireless Presentation Systems

No more haywire moments trying to share your screen via cables.Wireless presentation offers anybody in the room an option to quickly share their laptop, tablet, or phone with the meeting room screen-short of plugging.

Why it's important: 

It saves time and just avoids hassles during setup.

Works with all devices-Windows, Mac, iOS, Android.

Smoothens the flow of meetings.

Some popular systems are ClickShare, Miracast, and AirPlay. 

4. Digital Signage

Digital signage uses screens around the office to display information, updates or branding messages. They can be placed in the lobby, meeting rooms, kitchen or corridors.

Why it's important: 

Shares important announcements quickly

Improves internal communication

Give a modern look to your office.

You can use the digital signs to greet visitors or show live data or safety updates.

5. Room Booking and Scheduling Systems

These are small screens or software tools that show whether a meeting room is free or booked. Some are placed right outside meeting rooms, while others work with calendars like Outlook or Google Calendar.

Why it’s important:

Prevents double-booking of rooms

Helps teams plan better

Saves time and avoids confusion

Some systems even show which rooms have video conferencing equipment or are suitable for large groups.

Why AV Technology Matters

Investing in AV technologies for the workplace isn’t just about having the latest gadgets. It’s about:

Helping teams work better together

Creating a more professional environment

Supporting remote and hybrid work

Supporting remote and hybrid work

Save time and reduce stress

Your AV is working perfectly so your team can focus on what matters. 

Final Thoughts 

AV technologies are changing the way the office works. From meetings to comms, it’s a must have. When you’re planning an office upgrade consider these 5: video conferencing, interactive displays, wireless presentation, digital signage, room booking systems.

Discover the Convenience of Standing Desks with Drawers In the modern workplace

I have a sword question, if I may. Or more of a sword confusion Im seeking clarification on.

In my mind a fantasy european standard sword (that obviously doesnt really exist, but like, when a knight or someone in a story has an unspecified sword), I always imaged a straight blade with a triangular tip, both edges sharp cutting edges.

Then at some point I learned about eg scimitars that have a cutting edge and a ...blunt edge?

I was looking at your recent addition to the post about the Turkish sword, where you distinguish between an inner cutting edge on a sword v an outer cutting edge.

And then Im thinking of those enormous zweihander types that are all about momentum and do those even need a particularly sharp edge? They seem in dnd parlance to be a bludgeoning weapon not for slashing.

And while Im asking, like. Rapiers are very stabby weapons, do they have sharp edges at all or judt a sharp point?

I guess my overall question culminates something like "what parts of swords are designed for what damage and why? Is there anything all swords have other than blade and handle like can they all be used for stabbing or do some have very blunt points etc? Is it a big deal for a sword to be double-edged, does that necessitate specific training? Whats up with different sword blades?"

I realise thats a pretty enormous question that might be unreasonable to ask. Im happy with whstever response you are or arent willing to give. Hope you have a good day :)

Sharp edge / blunt edge is the setup on any kitchen or table knife you've ever encountered, and being able to put a hand on the blunt "edge" - usually called the back of the blade - not only helps when mincing herbs or garlic, but also features in some techniques of swordplay.

Other techniques employed non-blade parts of the weapon, using the pommel like a mace and the crossguard like a pick-axe.

*****

Whether swords should be straight or curved, single- or double-edged, was an argument which continued as recently as the early 1900s.

The last swords issued to cavalry for combat use (modern parade swords don't count) were both remarkably similar designs, straight-bladed for thrusting, adopted by the UK in 1908...

...and the US in 1913.

There was, of course, strong opposition from those who insisted cavalry swords should be sabres curve-bladed for cutting instead.

Equally of course, both sides failed to notice - or ignored, since a certain kind of cavalry officer was only bright as regards boots, buckles and buttons - the uncomfortable fact that machine-guns and repeating rifles had made the whole ta-ran-ta-rah "cut them down with your swords, men!" cavalry charge an exercise in futility.

*****

D&D, unless they've considerably upped their accuracy game, isn't much of a reference for weapon realism.

"Enormous Zweihanders" and other big swords such as the Montante were a lot lighter and more nimble than they'd seem from reading an encumbrance chart.

They had their own techniques to take best advantage of length, leverage and momentum and were indeed sharp. Given a choice between a sharp combat weapon and a blunt one, sharp makes far more sense.

In addition, a sharp blade is lighter than a blunt one simply through having less metal. It may only be a few grams of difference, but it IS a difference.

That's also the reason behind a fuller, the groove(s) along a blade.

They're not "blood gutters", tough and cool though that may sound, but a way to reduce a sword's weight while preventing its blade from getting excessively flexible.

Finally...

The re-enactor is wearing half-armour, but these big swords were also meant for use against unarmoured opponents. Bodyguards often carried them (they looked impressive) and those sweeping strokes could block an entire street while The Boss got away.

That's when an ability to cut rather than merely bludgeon makes all the difference. Determined assassins might try to rush a blunt sword, but a sharp one would give anyone second thoughts...

*****

Double-edged swords versus single-edged ones seem to vary depending on cultural preference - also on period of history and intended function.

Bronze Age European swords had straight or leaf-shaped blades with double edges...

...while Ancient Egypt had the curved, single-edged khopesh, a shape which also turned up in Ancient Assyria (this one's in the Metropolitan Museum, New York USA).

It's listed as a "sickle sword", an incorrect term which I wish would go away because sickles are sharp on the inside of the curve while swords like this - their grip-shape shows how they're meant to be held and swung - are sharp on the outside.

And just when "the Ancient Middle East used curved single-edge swords" looks like a handy generalisation, along come straight swords, one from Ancient Egypt...

...another from Luristan, now part of modern Iran.

This next one comes from Ancient Iberia (Spain), right at the other side of the Mediterranean. Evidence of trading links? Your guess is as good as mine.

Iberia went on to use the falcata, a short single-edged forward-curved sword.

Those extra bits round the blade are scabbard metalwork; the wood and leather scabbard is long gone. This repro shows how they would have looked when in place.

Iberia also used a straight double-edged sword which so impressed the Romans that they adopted it, refined it and used it for several centuries. Here's one of the several Roman versions of that gladius Hispaniensis (Spanish sword), double-edged, mostly meant for stabbing but capable of very effective cuts as well.

Here's my repro of a similar sword, the elegant "Mainz" pattern with its long point and waisted blade. Very pretty, and pretty wicked.

*****

"Curved single-edged swords are Eastern, straight double-edged swords are Western", is another generalisation that won't work.

Here are Eastern straight swords...

...and Western curved ones.

*****

Viking swords were all double-edged...

...except when they weren't.

*****

Many rapiers could cut. Smallswords, which came later, couldn't.

Earlier rapiers with broader blades cut better than later ones with narrow blades, but IIRC even the later Italian and Spanish rapier styles include cuts directed at the opponent's face and sword-arm.

I have a notion that the modern thing about cutting with rapiers is based (like back-carry) on seeing it done in movies. IMO - more about it here - that's actually more a modern stage-combat safety thing than a period real-combat move. A fumbled cut is bruising and unpleasant even with a "safe" prop sword, but a fumbled thrust into the eye-socket or throat with that same "safe" sword can be fatal.

Even those early rapiers wouldn't sever a head or limb - a finger maybe, hence the elaborate hand-protection of swept and cup hilts - but blood from a forehead wound running into the eyes was, and in boxing still is, an efficient way to finish a fight by ensuring the opponent can't continue. One of the duels in "The Duellists" ends this way.

This example is a bit optimistic, IMO...

...but a longsword (double-edged)...

...or a messer (single-edged)...

...was quite capable of disarming an opponent in a very literal way.

*****

Some swords had minimal points, being intended mostly for cutting. One example of this is the Indian khanda broadsword. The second example is also very clearly single-edged.

Another cut-only sword without a point (but with double edges) is the Richtschwert (justice sword)...

...though this was a single-function (and hopefully single-cut) tool rather than weapon, neither balanced for nor intended for combat.

Hope this has helped answer the questions!
