Understanding AV Commissioning

Commissioning is the process of ensuring an integrated system is designed, installed, and configured to meet strict performance requirements. The process typically includes:

  • Design Review: Evaluating the architecture against project goals.
  • Functional Testing: Verifying signal flow, latency, and hardware operability.
  • Final Documentation: Providing detailed logs and code repositories for future reference.

Key Steps in the Process

Before diving into logic programming, thorough preparation is essential. Conduct a site assessment to understand the physical environment, evaluate acoustic treatments, and create a timeline that aligns with other technical contractors.

Once preparation is complete, the next step is to verify the hardware installation. This involves checking equipment placement, tracing cable terminations, and confirming that all edge devices are properly configured on the network before any custom software is deployed.
