Top 5 Audio Video Trends to Look for in 2020

 



There's so much for audiovisual lovers in 2020, with leading brands announcing groundbreaking innovations. The AV industry has been a topic for discussion for the past few years, first because of home automation, and now due to the increasing reliance on audiovisual technology. 

In this article, we'll discuss the top five audio and video design installation trends to look for in 2020. 


1. 4K/Ultra High Definition (UHD) Video

The use of 4K/UHD video is on the rise because of two main reasons. First, due to the increasing use of large TV screens and video displays. And second, for fine resolution and critical inspection viewing in military applications and medical surgery procedures. 

To understand the quality of 4K, think of it as four-fold better than the standard resolution of most home TVs (1080p). High quality is becoming a priority for all consumers, which is resulting in an increasing demand for 4k TVs.


2. Lampless Projection

Traditional video projectors utilize large, bright lamps to display the image. Not only do these projectors have low image quality, but they also have a shorter life expectancy (around 2,000 hours). Modern-day projectors use laser/LED light sources that don't require bulky lamps. 

In lampless projectors, the LEDs work in combination with a fluorescent element and laser in the light engine to display images. This leads to enhanced quality and better life expectancy. Lampless projectors can last for more than 10,000 hours without replacement, which is five times more than traditional projectors. 


3. Wireless Transmissions

The increasing use of IoT and wireless devices has paved the way for wireless transmissions. These transmissions allow audio-video signals to travel between two devices via wireless data network communication protocols. The availability of wireless technology has improved the overall speed and output of AV devices. 


4. Video Walls 

Although video walls are not a new concept, they are here to stay. People love enjoying large visible images. Besides, the emergence of interactivity has made video walls immensely popular among youths. Modern-day video wall display options, including ultra-thin bezel display arrays and blended rear projection displays, are flooding the market. 


Virtual and Augmented Reality

The applications of AR/VR in the entertainment sector are significant. VR creates transformative, realistic experiences that make you feel as if you're present in the scene of action. For years, VR technology is being used to improve video and gaming experience. 

Augmented reality is a comparatively newer concept, but it has become one of the pillars of the AV industry. Businesses in various industries use AR technology to engage their customers into semi-realistic experiences. In addition, the gaming industry has also adopted AR. Some AR-based games include Pokemon Go, Knightfall AR, and Ingress Prime. 



Conclusion

As the world continues to enjoy the digital revolution, the massive adoption of these audiovisual trends is expected. Not only businesses, but homeowners are also readily investing in audio-video systems to make their homes an entertainment hub.
