AV Broadcast
The ability to bring broadcast capabilities to your organization has never been more important.
Hybrid work proves that the enterprise can leverage more people outside the space than ever before. But this also raises the stakes. AV broadcast means professional quality that maintains the brand but does not require a team to set up. Zoom, Teams or WebEx alone will not suffice. Whether for Product Launch Events, Town Halls, Press Events, or North American New Hire Seminars, you can send broadcast-quality audio and video without painfully complex systems, ensuring stunning results in a space that was traditionally used for in-person purposes with added Zoom capability.
Control your message and brand with a fully optimized AV broadcast system.
Access quality without unnecessary complexity.
Traditional broadcast AV systems were complex to operate and expensive to design and build. We use modern technology to build affordable, professional-quality systems that anyone can operate.
Create systems that work for what’s next.
Broadcast may be needed for an international townhall in the morning, a CEO cable news interview at noon, and an orientation for 100 new employees in the afternoon. You need a system that’s versatile.
Work with technical experts.
From optimized audio signal flow, to multi-camera setups, to broadcast-quality lighting systems, our technical experts can guide you to the best solution for your business needs.
We provide AV broadcast systems that are built to perfectly meet your needs – no matter what your use case.
We will work with all of your stakeholders – facility, architectural, design, marketing, and executive teams – to fully understand your requirements. No cookie cutter designs, here. Each AV broadcast system is unique but equally easy-to-use, scalable, and cost effective.
AV broadcast systems can include:
- Ability to connect to other systems and platforms
- Tools to manage audio signals (including iPad, laptop, tablet integration)
- Fast setup
- Broadcast-quality video
- Professional-quality lighting
- Audio-enhancing acoustic treatment

AV Reporting & Analytics
Track and report on the usage of commercial AV platforms across all of your rooms and facilities.
Optimize systems based on how they’re used. Easily deploy and manage service and support.
Don’t risk AV systems going out unexpectedly.
No pre-warnings before system failures.
When you’re dependent on people to communicate room status to AV control or maintenance staff, you’ll be caught off guard by outages.
No way to monitor systems remotely.
It can be tedious to manually inspect all devices on site. Remote monitoring can reduce time and increase confidence in system performance.
Reactive support is too costly.
When things break, fixes are expensive. Reduce the likelihood of outages with proactive support that prevents issues from happening in the first place.
We provide proactive AV reporting and analytics support to reduce the risk of outages and save time and money.
Our solutions are scalable and future-proof. From remote cloud management tools that monitor AV systems continuously, to customized dashboards showing the status of all connected devices, we can provide technology to maximize uptime and give users peace of mind.
AV reporting can include:
- Device monitoring
- Device inventory
- Device control
- Remote access
- PC control
- Remote support
- Automated room troubleshooting and self-checks

AVaas
Get all of your AV needs met by an expert partner at a set and predictable price.
The AV systems are critical to the modern workspace. AVaaS means large, upfront investments are replaced with a predictable monthly fee, and can include system upgrades and regular maintenance visits.
Don’t let a lack of care lead to long-term AV issues.
Equipment becomes obsolete.
AV equipment needs to be cared for and sometimes updated to remain fully functional. Forgoing service can lead to obsolescence.
OP-EX is challenging to pin down.
Fixed cost pricing with a service plan included will provide the peace of mind that your organization needs.
Breakdowns become the norm.
As devices age and technology evolves, more problems are likely to occur, hindering productivity.

With AVaaS, the resources to monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot your AV systems become as reliable as the phone bill, saving time and money. AVaaS works on single room / video conferencing system or a facility-wide upgrade of multiple locations. No more having to settle for less than what is needed.
As strategy consultants, we create optimal offerings to ensure that all devices and equipment are delivered and maintained reducing costly outages and prolonging product lifespans. For the right organizations, AVaaS reduces cost and risk associated with managing AV equipment and services in-house – and gives peace of mind, too.

Don’t settle for static solutions.

Don’t jump into product setup without a project strategy.
Lack of requirement understanding.
Projects that are undertaken without a sufficient understanding of requirements can lead to rework, cost issues, and dead ends as problems arise.
Poor project documentation.
A lack of detailed documentation can leave technicians making best guesses about system integration and maintenance. This can cause additional cost and poor functionality.
AV expectations aren’t met.

Digital Signage
Deploy beautiful and informative displays with customizable messaging to keep employees and visitors up to date with the latest relevant information.
Don’t settle for signage that isn’t optimized to the needs of your space.
Content updates are difficult.
Too often, digital signage interfaces are unintuitive and hard to update. Consequently, content gets outdated.
Lock-in contracts are expensive.
Some digital signage companies and ad agencies sell signage via contracts that lock you into an overpriced rate for unimpressive service.
Signs go offline.
Poorly optimized signage systems can have connectivity issues. When this happens, the content can be outdated, and getting back online is tedious.
We help organizations install and configure digital signs that leverage the company brand with automatically updated information.
We make sure that the displays and the technology that put the content on the display all work together. Whether you need signage for a menu board in a café (that also has custom content when the space is leased for a private event) or for outdoor LED on the side of a building, Captus Systems can help.
We’ll bring the latest and best technologies to the table to support your functionality requirements, then we’ll implement hardware and software to achieve the desired outcome. And we’ll ensure that easy-to-use remote management software can allow anyone to update the content as needed.
Digital signage can include:
- Video walls
- Touch-enabled displays
- Engineering the correct solution for the space

Mics & Conferencing
Get solutions that deliver easy-to-use conference systems where everyone is clearly seen and clearly heard.
Use cutting-edge solutions that empower better collaboration.
Don’t let people go unheard.
Microphones aren’t recognized.
It can be challenging to integrate the room microphones when connecting with your laptop. Technical difficulties can lead to awkward (and costly) silences.
Acoustical issues make hearing hard.
Systems that aren’t suited for room design or acoustics make normal voice clarity challenging. Background noises can be distracting.
People move the tabletop microphones.
Ceiling microphones provide optimal and even-sound pickup for everyone in the room.
We help organizations create virtual meeting environments with clear, natural sound – because audio is more important than the video, even on a video conference.
Our solutions allow meeting participants to speak in a normal voice and be heard clearly. Through the latest digital signal processing (DSP) systems, microphones can point and pick up individual speakers. We can ensure that audio experiences are natural, even when multiple people are talking.

Integration is cumbersome.
Your company uses MS Teams, but your biggest client uses Zoom and your biggest investor uses WebEx. All of this bouncing around causes issues.

Poor audio quality.
Connection quality, background noise, and inadequate microphones can make it hard to be heard.
Complicated interface.
Whether participants need to chat, share a screen, or view the person speaking, operation should be easy.
Lack of security.
Not all platforms provide proper security. Lack of encryption and other issues may leave participants vulnerable to outside sources.
