AI and AV Technology in 2024: QSC and Q-SYS Conference
In a groundbreaking keynote at InfoComm 2024, Joe Pham, Chairman and CEO of QSC | Q-SYS, discussed the anticipated role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the audiovisual (AV) industry. Pham highlighted six key areas where AI is expected to make significant strides, revolutionising the way AV systems are designed, managed, and used.
- Simplified System Design and Automation
AI will play a crucial role in automating complex system designs and simplifying routine setup tasks, lowering the floor and raising the ceiling for consistent user experiences and exceptional design.
- Intelligent Audio and Video Processing
Enhancements in AI will lead to improved signal quality, noise cancellation, and automated camera framing, ensuring crystal-clear audio and video experiences for users.
- Predictive Maintenance and Analytics
AI-driven monitoring systems will predict potential failures and optimise system uptime, ensuring seamless operation and minimising downtime.
- Personalised User Experiences
AI will be utilised to tailor content delivery and interaction based on user behaviour and preferences, offering a more engaging and customised experience for users.
- Enhanced Security
AI integration in AV systems will provide smarter access control and threat detection, bolstering security measures and ensuring a safer environment for users.
- Improved Collaboration and Conferencing
Real-time AI transcription, translation, and engagement metrics will enhance remote meeting experiences, making collaboration more efficient and effective.
These application areas align with Pham's keynote titled “Everything Has Changed,” focusing on the impact of AI transformation on all facets of AV technology. For a more detailed and exact articulation of the six AI application areas as discussed by Pham, referencing the official InfoComm 2024 keynote transcript or Q-SYS communications would be necessary.
In addition to these areas, AI is also expected to be applied in Audio AI and Video AI. Audio AI will focus on noise reduction, blind source separation, and studio microphone speaker focus, while Video AI will concentrate on auto-switching, auto-cropping, auto-tracking, noise reduction, artifact reduction, and studio relighting.
The AV industry is gearing up for a significant transformation, with 40 AV/IT companies releasing roadmaps for 2024, 30 AV/IT thought leaders discussing hybrid work in 2024, and 15 manufacturers expected to support AV/IT in the coming year. The future of the AV industry is undoubtedly AI-driven, promising a more intelligent, efficient, and user-friendly experience for all.
