more with fewer devices,” he says. “Hyperconverged technology is a strong example, combining production switchers, graphics, audio and routing into a single platform. It offers scalable, high- quality production with reduced operational complexity.” Broadcast-based control systems and interfaces are making a strong transition into AV environments, according to Matthew Quade, CEO of TSL. “These areas align with AV’s growing need for unified control and seamless system integration, especially across complex installations and live event set-ups. Much like broadcast, AV professionals face real challenges in interoperability. Whether you’re working with traditional AV technologies such as Crestron
or Q-Sys, or integrating legacy systems, the requirement is the same: efficient, flexible workflows without vendor lock-in. That’s where broadcast-born control solutions and human-machine interfaces are proving particularly valuable.” AV’s growing willingness to embrace IP infrastructures is a major enabler of convergence. “For AV teams, IP offers greater routing flexibility, easier integration with remote facilities and the ability to centralise resources across sites,” says Gosney. “Affordable SMPTE 2110 converters and open codecs are lowering the barrier to entry, enabling UHD video over standard 10Gb Ethernet without requiring a wholesale infrastructure change.” Despite the markets’ similarities and synergies, however, broadcast
