Control and Manageability
Our systems: Easy to use, easier to support

JVN Systems takes pride in designing and building sophisticated audio-visual systems filled with cutting-edge technology. More fundamental, though, we pride ourselves on building systems that users can actually operate. Since the dawn of the programmable VCR, “audio-visual” and “user-friendly” have seemed to be opposing terms. That’s what makes JVN different. No matter how complex the client’s request or how sophisticated the technology, JVN builds a consistent level of control and manageability into every system we create. You’ll be hard-pressed to find this emphasis on ease of use and intuitive support elsewhere in our industry. Specifically, this top-level control and manageability is achieved through an emphasis on user-friendly interfaces and unified platforms that are easily understood and operated by everyone from executive users to IT staff. This is the very heart of the JVN Framework: A single platform that fully integrates an enterprise’s audio-visual requirements into a Web-based control screen. From our signature one-touch control panel to our focus on fully networked, IP-connected systems, JVN is able to ensure that “sophisticated” never means impossible to figure out.

The user-friendly JVN Framework draws on five crucial principles:

Integration: JVN pulls all functions essential to the audio-visual system into a single platform. Beyond audio and video, the JVN Framework fully integrates with environmental and facility systems, such as lighting, HVAC, telecom and the IP Network.

Unified Control: The single, unified control panel is the hallmark of a JVN system. Users operate every function – from setting volume to selecting video sources – with an interface that’s as simple as a graphical touch-panel or as flexible as a point-and-click Web page. Whether wall mounted, table-mounted or wireless handhelds, these single controls anchor every JVN audio-visual system.

Consistency: Control panels and interfaces are the same from room to room and location to location. Whether we do one installation at a site or 20, our systems are consistent and fully scalable.

Support: IP connectivity is an essential part of every JVN System. Because our platform is fully available on a client’s network, IT staff can easily support the audio-visual services, monitoring and operating all essential functions remotely whenever needed. Firmware and software updates also can be tracked and scheduled by IT staff, and even handled by JVN if the client desires.

Maintenance: IP connectivity also adds a level of oversight that consistently produces big savings for our clients. Using the RoomView software from Crestron Electronics, JVN allows IT staff to monitor systems and schedule maintenance accordingly. The savings can be huge. For example, replacing a projector lamp before it blows is far more cost-efficient than taking the projector out of service to clean out melted glass and repair the damaged motherboard after the fact.

The user-friendly focus of the JVN Framework means complex system operations are as familiar and easy to understand as the ATM screen at the corner bank. One selection off a JVN touch-panel triggers a multitude of functions. Our easy-to-use systems do their work behind the scenes so that you can seamlessly do your work in front of your audience. Our audio-visual systems are as sophisticated and cutting-edge as any vendor. The difference is that they’re also easy to use.
