AV data strengthens the learning experience in a myriad of ways and helps teachers and trainers to work more flexibly. That’s why more and more institutions are using video in their teaching sessions. But what are the right AV tools for you? It can be a challenge to choose from the many different AV solutions that are available. Although seemingly simple in design, you will find huge differences in quality, ease of use, scalability, annotation options, price, and/or services. Choosing the wrong setup could cost you a lot of money and time, whereas the right solution could help your project to really flourish. The goal of this buyer’s guide is to assist in finding the right AV solution for your training or research project. We’ll guide you through the different considerations of choosing an AV lab and show you which options are available. At the end, you’ll know exactly what you need and what kinds of questions you should ask to get the right tool. Any questions and/or comments?
