Command Center
A command center, also known as a control room is a critical concept that facilities using audio-visual setups, despite size need to understand. A command center helps these facilities to achieve a unified control over their audio-visual setups. Although the centers vary based on the setup in an organization, they have one purpose, which is serving a central nerve for a multiple layer of audio-visual equipment activities within an organization (Talamo, 2016). Constructing and effectively maintaining a command center, audio-visual crew in organizations can easily share integrated resources and provide efficient control to help crews get their work done. Command centers also help companies to oversight over important information.
The evolutionary developments in technology have led to the development of small machines with the ability to handle an array of services and operations. This means that command centers do not have to be too big to serve their purpose. Modern command centers constitute of smart and powerful integrated setups. However, organizations should consider their size and objectives before implementing a command center (Roth, 2018). For instance, large organizations require elaborate setups in their command centers to achieve full control of their audio-visual components.
Command centers are designed in a way that they can allow operators with quick access all connected setups for oversight purposes. Additionally, quick access allows operators to perform data analyses and monitoring according to an organization’s requirements. Command centers are considered as separate entities because some organizations have offsite and they can be managed by either a company specialist or an outsourced expert. Whether onsite or off-premise, a command center should meet its oversight requirements. Although the size of command centers vary based on organizational needs, they should be considered a vital requirement because a smart integrated setup is crucial in ensuring work is done.
