Audio Video Term

Commissioning

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

Commissioning is the final process of testing, configuring, labeling, calibrating, documenting, and confirming the system works as intended.

Example of Commissioning

Before installation, Davis can walk the site, document goals, specify wiring, design the rack, and map controls so the final system is easy to live with. In that kind of Davis AV consulting project, the term Commissioning would describe the final process of testing, configuring, labeling, calibrating, documenting, and confirming the system works as intended. Davis would use that understanding to account for site survey notes, scope, drawings, budget planning, equipment schedule, and implementation sequence, 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.
