AV Tune-Up Time: Make Sure Your Semester Starts Strong

Back-to-School Tech System Checks: Setting Your Campus Up for Success

When students and faculty return for the new academic year, the last thing you want is an AV system hiccup disrupting a lecture, performance, or game day. Whether in classrooms, auditoriums, stadiums, or performing arts centers, your campus technology should just work—flawlessly, every time. That’s why now is the perfect time for a Back-to-School Tech System Check.

Why Pre-Semester AV Check-Ups Matter

Over summer break, technology sits idle. Dust gathers, firmware goes out-of-date, cables loosen, and components can shift out of calibration. Without a proactive review, small issues can quickly escalate into major disruptions when the semester begins.

At PCD, we recommend an annual system review to:

• Test all displays, projectors, and video walls for brightness, alignment, and image clarity

• Inspect and tune sound systems for balanced audio, from lecture halls to stadium PA systems

• Verify microphone, camera, and conferencing equipment for hybrid classes or remote events

• Update software and firmware for compatibility and security

• Check cable connections and rack organization for stability and easy maintenance

Even If We Didn’t Install It, We’ll Service It

Clients who are enrolled into our Continuing Support Program receive the following services at no additional charge - evaluate existing AV setups, identify weak points, and bring everything up to current performance standards. We work across all major platforms and brands, ensuring seamless operation regardless of your system’s origin.

Along with system checks, we also recommend scheduling refresh training sessions for both faculty and staff. Each semester brings new assignments, new instructors, and even new student workers who may be responsible for operating classroom or event AV systems. A short refresher ensures everyone—from professors running hybrid classes to staff managing performance venues—feels confident using the technology. This proactive step minimizes disruptions, builds user confidence, and keeps your investment delivering maximum value throughout the school year.

From Classrooms to Campus-Wide Coverage

Our back-to-school AV Tune Up service isn’t just for lecture halls. We maintain and fine-tune:

• Interactive classrooms with whiteboards, wireless sharing, and lecture capture

• Auditoriums and performing arts centers with integrated AV and lighting
