Audiovisuele

Audiovisuele is a Dutch term meaning audiovisual, used to describe media and activities that combine sound and image for communication, presentation, or entertainment. It is applied to both the technology (systems and equipment) and the production processes used to create audio-visual content.

The concept spans a wide range of fields, including production, post-production, distribution, and presentation of content across film, television, online video, live events, education, museums, and corporate communications.

Common applications include film and TV production, corporate events and conferences, classroom teaching, digital signage, and streaming services.

Key components and disciplines include audio engineering, video capture and recording, video editing and post-production, sound design, lighting, graphics, AV installation and integration, and overall project and event management.

Technologies used comprise cameras, microphones, mixers, amplifiers and loudspeakers, displays and projectors, video servers, and specialized software for editing, color grading, and audio processing, as well as control systems and networks for managing playback and interaction. Industry practices rely on interoperability standards and common file formats, such as HDMI or SDI for transmission and widely used media formats for storage and playback.

In Dutch-speaking contexts, audiovisual is central to media production industries and education, and it intersects with related fields such as multimedia, broadcast engineering, and event technology.
