Installation does not end with hanging the panel

We are based in Ankara and install across Turkey. Whether an AV system will work well is largely settled before anything is mounted: whether the display was sized by calculation, which transport the cable distance demands, what the room acoustics are doing — and none of it is cheap to correct afterwards.

Site survey before equipment

No system gets designed without seeing the space. Ceiling height, the rigging capacity of the structure, the distance to the farthest viewer, ambient light and the existing electrical infrastructure — the answer does not come out right unless all five are on the table at once. We size displays by calculation rather than by eye: AVIXA's DISCAS standard derives the size from the farthest viewer and the content type, and it also explains why the panel specified for most meeting rooms falls short.

Structure and mounting

On an LED wall the support structure is half the image quality: on a modular surface the first row sets the alignment, and nothing above it sits true until the bottom row is level. For weight distribution and vibration we sometimes choose a ground-supported frame over wall mounting. Rear service access is planned from the start — if changing one module means dismantling the system, the installation was done incompletely.

Cabling and signal transport

Distance decides the technology. Passive copper HDMI begins to struggle past about 4.5 m and wants active optical beyond roughly 15 m; further than that the question stops being "which cable" and becomes HDBaseT or AV over IP. HDBaseT reach depends on cable grade too — there is a real difference between 70 m on Cat5e and 100 m on Cat6. These are settled at design time, not on site.

Commissioning and calibration

A connected cable does not mean signal is flowing. If EDID is not managed at the device closest to the source, the screen can read "No Signal"; because copy protection uses the same line, one older device in the chain can kill the whole picture. We test this during commissioning rather than at handover. Brightness and colour calibration on the LED side, and coverage measurement plus confirming the echo canceller is actually working on the audio side, belong to the same stage.

Handover: labels and documentation

A rack photograph is not an aesthetic matter. Tracing a line in a labelled rack takes minutes; in an unlabelled one the same job is done by switching devices off one at a time to see what disappears. AVIXA has standards for cable labelling and for documentation, and we treat them as a handover condition: when the work is done the rack is labelled and the connection diagram is written down. It makes life easier for whoever looks at that system in five years — whether or not that is us.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should you join the project?+

Before the architectural design is settled. Brought in late, the outlet ends up "close, but not where it needs to be", conduit stops just short of the equipment, and screen anchoring is never coordinated. None of it is cheap to fix later — running a cable where no path exists means opening a wall.

Will you build on our existing system?+

Yes. We survey what is already there first: what the cabling can carry, which existing equipment can stay, and what is a bottleneck. Replacing everything is usually unnecessary, and we do not propose line items that are.

Do you work with architects and contractors?+

Yes, including white-label. We join architects, contractors and IT companies early, on system design and specification; the field work runs with our team while the client relationship stays with you.
