Audio Video Term

Latency

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

Latency is the time delay between sending and receiving data, which affects gaming, video conferencing, streaming control, and automation response.

Example of Latency

A managed network can support streaming video, cameras, touchscreens, access points, control processors, and guest Wi-Fi without overloading one router. In that kind of Davis networking project, the term Latency would describe the time delay between sending and receiving data, which affects gaming, video conferencing, streaming control, and automation response. Davis would use that understanding to account for router, switch, and access point placement, wired backhaul, guest access, and device reliability, 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.
