AVGeräten

AV-Geräte are equipment used to capture, process, transmit, and reproduce audio and video signals. They range from consumer electronics to professional systems and are employed to record, edit, play back, broadcast, and present audiovisual content.

Common categories include display devices (televisions, computer monitors, projectors), playback and recording devices (Blu-ray players, digital set-top boxes, DVRs, cameras, camcorders), and audio systems (stereophonic receivers, amplifiers, speakers, soundbars, microphones). Signal processing and integration devices (digital-to-analog converters, audio interfaces, mixers, equalizers, processors) may be part of professional setups.

Interfaces and standards cover consumer and professional connectors and protocols. HDMI, DisplayPort, USB, Ethernet, and wireless options like Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth transport signals; audio formats such as PCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS; video formats including 4K/8K and HDR. Professional environments use SDI, XLR, and RS-232 or IP-based control.

AV-Geräte are used in homes, workplaces, educational and entertainment venues, studios, and broadcast environments. Key considerations include image quality, color accuracy, brightness and contrast, sound fidelity, latency, and room acoustics, along with safety, electrical compliance, and energy efficiency.

With digital convergence, AV-Geräte increasingly integrate networking, streaming, and smart-control features, enabling centralized management and multi-room setups. Ongoing developments focus on higher resolutions, immersive audio, and new standards for interoperability.
