PROGRAMMING & COMMISSIONING
Even the most advanced AV system only reaches its full potential when the programming, control logic and interface work intuitively and reliably.
QUICK REFERENCE
Strive AV programs and commissions AV control systems on Crestron, Q-SYS and Extron: touch panel interfaces, one-touch room presets, divisible room combining, multi-zone audio and integration with Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, lighting and blinds. Every function is tested against the agreed user scenarios before handover, with training and as-built documentation.

AV Programming FAQs
Q.Should a meeting room use Crestron or Q-SYS?
Crestron suits control-heavy boardrooms and AV-over-IP video; Q-SYS suits audio-led rooms and native Microsoft Teams Rooms and Webex integration. Many rooms use both, with Q-SYS handling audio and Crestron handling control.
Q.What does AV commissioning involve?
Checking every signal path, setting audio levels and echo cancellation, testing every button and preset against the user scenarios agreed at design stage, and running live calls on the room's meeting platform before sign-off. Faults found at commissioning are fixed before the room is handed over, not after users find them.
Q.Does every meeting room need a control system?
No. A huddle room with one display and a video bar runs from the bar's own touch controller. A control system earns its place when a room has several sources or displays, divides into two spaces, or needs lighting, blinds and audio presets on one panel; it turns those into one-touch presets that anyone can use.
