Differentiate Your Luxury Residential Projects with Distributed AV

Luxury and high-end residential projects are an increasingly competitive housing segment in the Atlanta, GA market. While demand is strong, renters and homebuyers look for value beyond the residence they’ll live in, and that includes a myriad of amenities. Among them are swimming pools, dog parks, fitness facilities, common entertainment areas, and more.

Within those popular amenities, technology also plays a role. Video and audio entertainment play a key role in making those amenities stand out even more. What you don't want in a modern building is a set of disparate systems that are difficult for staff to manage and control. That's where a distributed audio-video solution comes in, with centralized management and intuitive control of various entertainment and digital signage systems that will make your residential project stand out. Read on to see how.

The Media or Theater Space

Many buildings are putting in a media or theater space that allows for larger gatherings of friends to enjoy sports, movies, and other entertainment. A large screen, projector, and surround sound system would be fundamental pieces to this. Such a space also needs intuitive control so anyone with basic instructions can get the show going quickly. A custom distributed AV solution can make it easy to access all the available entertainment sources. For example, a live TV feed for a football game will show up on a customized touchscreen in the room under live TV with available channels to tune. If the group is looking to stream from popular services, another category would have services like Netflix and Amazon Video. What about classic movies on demand? A movie server could offer a variety of high-quality films that might not be available on the streaming services.

Part and parcel of any entertainment solution is intuitive control. Preprogrammed settings for lights can offer a lighter or darker environment for entertainment, and some simple settings for sound can set the right surround mode for the content.

The Fitness Center

Music and video entertainment and instruction are an important part of today’s fitness routines. A myriad of options can be offered to motivate and provide proper technique for better fitness training.  Multiple monitors can be employed for follow-along fitness classes for yoga, cycling, weight training, and more. The system can offer easy screencasting options from personal devices or can have TV apps from popular services like Peloton available. Put the instructions right on the screens and offer a custom app that building residents can use to control the AV system that displays all the options. Ensure that the system provides an easy way to pair headphones with the display so everyone can have their own private workout.

Common Areas

Distributed AV can create more enjoyable common areas in lobbies, pool patios, and more. Build in speakers for background music that sets the right mood at different times of the day. For building news, announcements, and other pertinent information and reminders, use digital signage throughout common areas and feed fresh content to these displays with a centralized, easy to update content management system. In business/conference centers and courtesy computer rooms, a display could be tuned to stock and financial feeds as well as video clips of the latest business news.
