Historically digital platforms like AV (Audio Visual), IT (Information Technology), BMS (Building Management Systems) and Lighting exist in isolation, separate worlds within an organization. The inclusive nature of LUCI creates the ability to maneuver within a single hardware and software infrastructure while providing the ability to reliability operate, monitor and scale indefinitely. Utilizing proven technology, LUCI strategically eliminates the challenges of technology convergence.
AV – IT Convergence is fundamentally the utilization of a standard Ethernet data network to transport data and control signals. For decades, AV and IT existed and were managed separately within their own silos and infrastructures within an organization. It wasn’t until the creation of multi-casting technologies in the mid-eighties that the convergence of the two disciplines became a possibility. Unfortunately, this convergence did not become an immediate reality due to bandwidth limitations, vastly different infrastructure requirements and a cultural divide. Those limitations are now a thing of the past. The centralized nature of a converged environment allows administrators the enhanced ability to maneuver within a single infrastructure and gives them much more reliability to operate, monitor and scale accordingly.
USING LUCI
“I truly appreciate the operational and technical expertise that Mike Epstein and LUCI Systems, Inc. brought to us for our new Tulsa property. LUCI provides us with a comprehensive IP AV solution that has limitless capabilities of distributing AV content to any portion of our facility from our casino floor to our state-of-the-art concert venue. We were so impressed with LUCI Systems, Inc.’s work that we have decided to push LUCI across our entire brand of casinos.”
