Portland, Ore., Sept. 11, 2023 - Parker Group, a leading provider of integrated engineering services and technologies, has unveiled a comprehensive AV over IP solution tailor-made for control rooms. A platform that synchronously records and plays back high-resolution audio and video in real-time from any location, AVenue offers collaborative, rapid, and precise decision-making capabilities.

The control room landscape is transforming, moving from solely AV-managed signals to a mix with IP-based transmission. This shift, driven by the availability of high-bandwidth networks, empowers control room operators to now support diverse sources. As this evolution unfolds, the challenge lies in offering operators intuitive control over these sources, ensuring seamless transitions between workstations and dynamic video walls.
