Programming

In today’s world, technology is vital for all types of venues. The success or failure of a meeting, a presentation, a theatrical event or an advertising display often depends on the audio and video systems, which in turn depend on the design and the programming. A high degree of computer literacy and audiovisual knowledge combined with installation experience is what makes PMI a leader in its field. PMI’s lead designer is a CTS-D, a highly respected certification by InfoComm, an international audiovisual organization.

PMI maintains strategic alliances with architects, electrical engineers, interior designers, facility managers and computer network experts, which allow for a broader perspective of what it takes to design a superior system. Budget, functionality, and aesthetics are taken into consideration. PMI is capable of designing systems for small meeting rooms or highly sophisticated mission critical rooms with equal effectiveness. The following are examples of typical installations:

• Auditoriums
• Classrooms
• Computer Labs
• Conference Rooms
• Divisible Rooms
• Control Rooms
• Boardrooms

Sound Systems
Principle areas of audiovisual design that are often overlooked and cause problems are the sound and control systems. PMI utilizes EASE (Enhanced Acoustic Simulator for Engineers), which is an acoustical and sound design program. EASE does the following:

• Provides mapping to show speaker placement
• Predicts the intelligibility of speech
• Predicts equalization characteristics to provide the best sound before feedback

In other words, with the use of EASE, PMI is able to design the best sound possible, restricted only by facility and budget limitations.

PMI also pioneered the use of sophisticated digital audio processing equipment, such as feedback eliminators, compressors, graphic equalizations and sound processing to replace traditional, space consuming and expensive racks. It is among the few companies certified in designing and installing digital processing equipment such as Biamp.
