Audio Video Term

Glare Control

Glare Control is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Glare Control is the reduction of uncomfortable brightness or screen reflections caused by sunlight or intense light sources.

Example of Glare Control

West-facing shades lower automatically in late afternoon to reduce glare on a television while preserving the room view earlier in the day. In that kind of Davis shade and window treatment project, the term Glare Control would describe the reduction of uncomfortable brightness or screen reflections caused by sunlight or intense light sources. Davis would use that understanding to account for fabric selection, motor type, power or wiring, keypad and app control, and sun or glare schedules, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
