AV Institute LLCProgramming & Control Basics
Control systems, processors, and program logic
Move from signals to behavior. Learn how a commercial AV control system works, the transport types it uses (serial, IP, relay, IR), the programming primitives that drive it, and how to express a room's behavior as logic you can program.
Write room control logic and explain how a control system talks to devices.
