When your technology starts acting haunted, it may be time to call in an AV exorcist—better known as PCD.
You’re in the middle of a presentation, a sermon, or an important council meeting when it happens— the microphone lets out a ghostly shriek, the projector flickers like a candle in the wind, or the video feed vanishes into the digital abyss. Is it a glitch? Or something more sinister?
Before you start burning sage near your control panel, let’s face it—what feels like a haunting is usually your AV system crying out for attention.
Signs Your AV System Might Be “Possessed”
Like any good ghost story, the warning signs often start small.
Phantom feedback that appears and disappears at random.
Screens flickering like they’re sending Morse code from the afterlife.
Unresponsive touch panels that seem to have a mind of their own.
Mysterious hums and buzzes echoing through your speakers.
These may not be supernatural events—but they are clues that your system’s cables, connections, or firmware might be overdue for maintenance.
Why You Need an AV Exorcist—Not a Ghost Buster
At PCD, we’ve been banishing the “ghosts” of AV systems since 1981. Our team specializes in designing, installing, and supporting integrated audio-visual systems for organizations across Northern California—corporate boardrooms, classrooms, hospitals, government facilities, hotels, and houses of worship.
We approach AV integration as both an art and a science. So when systems start acting strange, we don’t just reboot and hope for the best—we dig in, diagnose, and restore harmony between your technology and your team.
And unlike companies that install and vanish like a shadow in the night, our consultants stay with you—through design, installation, and long-term support.

You don’t need a séance to communicate with your AV system—you just need the right partner. That’s where our Continuing Support Program (CSP) comes in. Think of it as a bumper-to-bumper warranty for your AV investment, keeping those tech gremlins at bay.
