Discipline 02 · Audiovisual & Multimedia

Audiovisual and multimedia system design

We design audiovisual systems that make presentations, collaboration, worship and entertainment work — and stay simple to operate — in boardrooms, auditoriums, ballrooms and public venues.

Overview

Our Audiovisual & Multimedia practice

IHD designs and oversees the integration of audio-visual systems for presentations, collaboration and entertainment. The aim is technical performance that people can operate with confidence, not equipment that needs a specialist in the room.

From corporate boardrooms to auditoriums and public venues, we deliver AV environments that support communication and engagement. Every design prioritises scalability, reliability and future-proofing.

Our audiovisual work spans hotel ballrooms and function rooms, churches, schools, museums, health clubs and residential developments — each with different users, content and operating teams.

Engineering Methodology

How we deliver

  1. 01

    Define

    Design starts from how each space will be used, by whom, and how often it changes configuration.

  2. 02

    Model

    3D modeling and simulation pre-visualise system layouts before they are built.

  3. 03

    Integrate

    We partner with the project team from concept through commissioning.

  4. 04

    Hand over

    Detailed documentation, training and ongoing support protect the AV investment over its lifecycle.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the role of an AV consultant compared with an AV contractor?

An AV consultant defines requirements, designs the system and documents it so contractors can price and install it consistently. The consultant then oversees integration through commissioning, so the client has a technical advocate between design intent and installation.

Which spaces do you design audiovisual systems for?

Hotel ballrooms and function rooms, churches and chapels, school auditoriums, boardrooms and corporate offices, museums and visitor attractions, health clubs and residential amenities.

Can AV systems run over the building network?

Increasingly, yes. AV over IP and networked control platforms let audio, video and control share enterprise infrastructure. We design AV alongside our IT and ELV discipline so the network is sized and segmented for it.

How do you make AV systems easy to operate?

We design around the people who will use each room, keep control interfaces simple, and hand over with detailed system documentation and training, followed by ongoing support.
