As broadcast and professional AV technologies continue to converge, system integrators are being asked to deliver more than traditional meeting room solutions. From corporate video studios and educational facilities to houses of worship and sports venues, customers increasingly need complete, reliable video production systems.
In Episode 1551 of rAVe [PUBS]' Rants & rAVes, host Gary Kayye spoke with Gary Bettan, President and CEO of Broadfield Distributing, and Glen Seaman, Director of Sales Engineering, about designing successful end-to-end AV production workflows.
Why the Entire AV Workflow Matters
Building a professional production environment requires more than selecting cameras, switchers, and displays. Integrators must consider how every component works together, from video acquisition and audio capture to networking, production, and final delivery.
The discussion highlighted how AV over IP technology is changing system design, along with common challenges involving network infrastructure, PoE requirements, equipment interoperability, and operational complexity.
Gary and Glen emphasized the importance of designing systems that not only meet technical requirements but are also practical for customers to operate.
Engineering Support Beyond Product Selection
Broadfield's sales engineering team helps dealers and integrators navigate system design, product compatibility, and workflow planning. This includes developing solutions that incorporate customers' existing equipment rather than focusing exclusively on new hardware purchases.
The conversation also introduced Broadfield's plans for its new Frisco, Texas facility, featuring a showroom, demonstration space, and training center where integrators can experience complete production workflows firsthand.
With engineering expertise, technical resources, training, and marketing support, Broadfield continues to help its partners build professional AV and broadcast solutions.
