From UI to Hardware: How AVstudio Connects Interface Design with Real AV Systems

Modern AV control is more than designing a touchscreen interface.

Every button, slider, camera view, or room control eventually needs to interact with something in the physical world — a projector, display, motorized screen, sensor, relay, camera, lighting system, intercom, or building automation platform.

AVstudio is designed around a simple idea:

Bring interface development, deployment, communication, and hardware control into one connected workflow.

Build → Display → Connect → Control

Build in AVstudio Editor NG

The workflow begins with AVstudio Editor NG, the next generation of the AVstudio development environment.

Instead of creating another isolated proprietary editor, AVstudio NG is being developed as a Visual Studio Code extension. It combines visual interface creation with direct access to project files and professional development tools inside the same environment. AVstudio

An AV integrator can work visually when that is faster, while still having access to the underlying project when deeper customization is required.

Visual When You Want It. Code When You Need It.

AVstudio NG brings several modern software-development concepts into AV interface development:

Visual interface creation for building responsive control interfaces.

Open, human-readable project files instead of locking an entire project inside a proprietary project container.

Git and GitHub workflows for history, branching, code review, collaboration, archiving, and project handoff.

Web technologies including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JSON.

AI-assisted development, where compatible coding assistants can use the project structure as context to help create pages, configure actions, apply styles, write code, and validate projects.

Local and developer-owned projects, allowing integrators to maintain backups, reuse components and libraries, and retain access to their project files. AVstudio

This creates a development workflow much closer to modern software engineering while preserving the speed of visual AV interface design.

From Project to Touch Interface with App Container

Once the interface is built, the next step is putting it on an actual device.

That is the role of AVstudio App Container.

App Container is an iOS and Android shell designed to turn HTML5 applications into full-screen, native-feeling touch experiences. Projects execute locally on the device rather than depending on a conventional browser interface or continuous cloud connection. GitHub

The concept is straightforward:

Build the interface once. Run it on the device.

Projects can be loaded from local .zip or .ch5z files, a direct URL, or the built-in demo library, and multiple projects can be installed on the same device. GitHub

For AV integrators, this is particularly useful because an HTML5 control project can become a dedicated full-screen control experience without requiring a separate native application to be developed and published for every project.

It also means App Container isn’t limited to AVstudio-created interfaces. It can provide a deployment environment for compatible HTML5 projects used in smart homes, building automation, commercial dashboards, industrial control, and other applications. GitHub

From the Interface to Professional Hardware

The next step is where the software meets the room.

AVS-10 and AVS-15 Touch Panels are purpose-built professional control panels designed for permanent AV and automation installations and continuous operation.

Both models run Android 14 with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage and provide Gigabit Ethernet with PoE+, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, professional hardware interfaces, integrated sensors, and remote configuration capabilities. AVstudio

The AVS-10 provides a 10.1-inch IPS 1280 × 800 display, while AVS-15 provides a 15.6-inch Full HD 1920 × 1080 display. AVstudio

But the important distinction is that an AVS panel is intended to be more than a touchscreen.

One Panel. Multiple Ways to Connect.

AVS Touch Panels can connect directly to AV, automation, network, and communication systems.

The platform includes or supports connectivity such as:

Ethernet / PoE+
Network connectivity and single-cable power installations.

RS-232 / RS-485
Direct communication with compatible AV and automation equipment.

Relay
Control devices such as motorized screens, gates, or other contact-driven equipment.

Digital I/O
Receive or send signals to sensors and other room devices.

IR
Control compatible infrared equipment.

MQTT
Integrate with automation and IoT architectures.

RTSP
Bring compatible network video streams into the control experience.

HTTP / HTTPS and WebSocket
Connect to network APIs, services, and real-time systems.

And there is another important part of the platform:

SIP communication. AVstudio

Explore AVS Touch Panels

Control. Communicate. Answer the Door.

SIP expands the role of a touch panel beyond traditional AV control.

AVS Touch Panels support SIP-based communication with compatible endpoints and systems. This can allow the same wall-mounted interface used for AV and automation to participate in intercom and entry scenarios. AVstudio

For example, an AVS panel could combine:

Room Control — lighting, climate, displays, audio, shades, and automation.

Video Intercom — receive video calls from compatible entrance or door stations.

Door & Entry Control — combine communication with cameras, locks, gates, and access systems.

SIP Calling — communicate with compatible SIP endpoints.

Instead of treating AV control, cameras, automation, and intercom as completely separate user experiences, they can become parts of the same interface. AVstudio

A Conference Room Example

Consider a conference room with an AVS-10 installed on the wall.

The interface was created in AVstudio NG and is displayed on the panel.

The user presses:

Start Presentation

That single action could initiate multiple operations:

RS-232 → Projector
Power on the projector and select the appropriate input.

Relay → Motorized Screen
Lower the projection screen.

I/O → Room Sensor
Use information from physical room sensors as part of the automation logic.

RTSP → Camera
Display a compatible network camera stream within the interface.

Other IP integrations can communicate using MQTT, HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket, or custom systems.

And where communication is required, SIP can bring intercom functionality into the same panel experience. AVstudio

To the person using the room, this can remain one simple interface.

Behind it is an entire AV and automation system.

Local Operation Matters

Professional control systems should not become unusable simply because an Internet connection disappears.

AVS Touch Panels are designed to run HTML5 interfaces locally, and local interfaces and local system communication can continue operating on the local network without requiring a continuously available Internet connection. AVstudio

App Container follows a similar philosophy: compatible HTML5 projects can execute locally on the device and provide an offline-capable full-screen experience. GitHub

That makes local execution an important part of the overall AVstudio architecture.

Not Just for AVstudio Systems

AVS Touch Panels are also designed to fit into existing control architectures.

They can serve as professional HTML5 interfaces alongside systems and technologies such as Crestron, Q-SYS, AMX, Global Caché, NETIO, MQTT, RTSP, and custom systems. AVstudio

That means adding an AVS Touch Panel does not necessarily require replacing an existing control system.

The panel can become another interface into the existing architecture.

More Than a Touchscreen

AVS hardware also includes features intended specifically for installed control applications.

Both AVS-10 and AVS-15 include temperature, humidity, ambient-light, and presence sensors, along with RGB LEDs, microphones, speakers, and a 5 MP camera. AVstudio

The programmable RGB backlight can communicate information such as room status, occupancy, calls, alerts, or other system events. AVstudio

That opens possibilities beyond traditional button-based AV control.

A touch panel can become a source of information about the room itself.

One Workflow

Taken together, the AVstudio ecosystem creates a workflow with four clear stages:

BUILD

Create the interface in AVstudio Editor NG, combining visual development with modern project files, Git workflows, web technologies, and developer tools.

DISPLAY

Use AVstudio App Container to turn compatible HTML5 projects into full-screen touch experiences running locally on the device.

CONNECT

Use AVS Touch Panels to connect the interface to real AV, automation, network, sensor, and communication systems through RS-232, RS-485, Relay, I/O, IR, SIP, MQTT, RTSP, HTTP/HTTPS, WebSocket, and other integrations.

CONTROL

Bring AV, automation, monitoring, cameras, sensors, and communication together into an interface designed around the space and the people using it. AVstudio

From UI to Hardware

The interface is only the beginning.

The real value appears when a control created on a developer’s screen becomes an action in the physical world.

A button turns on a projector.

A relay lowers a screen.

A sensor changes how the room behaves.

A camera becomes part of the interface.

A SIP call arrives from the entrance.

And all of those interactions can become part of one connected user experience.

That is the direction behind AVstudio:

From UI to hardware. From ideas to real spaces.

AVstudio at CEDIA Expo 2026: Thank You, Denver!

CEDIA Expo 2026 has come to a close, marking an important milestone for AVstudio.

From September 2–4, we joined the professional AV community at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver to present AVstudio technology, demonstrate our AVS Touch Panels, meet integrators and industry professionals, and share our vision for the future of AV and automation.

Three days of conversations, demonstrations, feedback, and new connections gave us an opportunity not only to show what we have been building, but also to see how the professional integration community responds to it.

The result exceeded our expectations.

Together with KNX USA

We would like to extend a special thank you to the KNX USA National Group for the opportunity to participate together at CEDIA Expo 2026.

Being part of the KNX USA exhibit gave us the opportunity to demonstrate AVstudio alongside technologies from the broader KNX ecosystem and connect with professionals working across smart home, building automation, and professional AV.

Throughout the show, our AVS Touch Panels and AVstudio software demonstrated excellent compatibility with KNX-based products and solutions.

For visitors, this was an opportunity to see how AVstudio can fit into real-world automation environments where products and technologies from multiple manufacturers need to work together.

AVS Touch Panels in the Spotlight

CEDIA 2026 was an important opportunity to put the AVS Touch Panels directly in front of professional integrators and demonstrate how AVstudio hardware and software work together as a complete control solution.

Visitors were able to see the AVS-10 in person, explore its interface, discuss connectivity and installation options, and learn how the panel can become part of residential and commercial AV and automation systems.

The interface demonstrated on the AVS-10 throughout the show was created using AVstudio Editor NG, giving visitors a first-hand look at how integrators and developers can build modern custom control interfaces and deploy them to AVS Touch Panels.

The conversations quickly went beyond product specifications. Integrators discussed real projects, existing systems, third-party equipment, installation requirements, interface development, and ways they could incorporate both AVS Touch Panels and AVstudio software into their own solutions.

That direct feedback was extremely valuable for our team and reinforced the importance of developing the AVstudio hardware and software ecosystem together.

And CEDIA brought an especially important milestone for the AVS product line:

we received our first AVS Touch Panel pre-orders.

For AVstudio, those first orders are more than a sales milestone. They are an early confirmation that integrators are looking for flexible alternatives in the professional touch-panel market and are ready to bring AVS products into real projects.

Built with AVstudio Editor NG

The control interface demonstrated on the AVS-10 at CEDIA Expo 2026 was created using AVstudio Editor NG, our next-generation environment for building modern AV and automation interfaces.

Projects created with AVstudio Editor NG are not limited to AVS Touch Panels. The same interfaces can be deployed across a wide range of compatible devices, giving integrators the flexibility to build an interface once and use it across different hardware platforms. This includes deployment on compatible Crestron touch panels, allowing integrators to bring AVstudio-designed interfaces into existing Crestron-based projects.

This cross-platform approach gives integrators greater freedom to choose the hardware that best fits each project while maintaining a consistent user experience.

New Partnerships Beyond CEDIA

Some of the most valuable results of an industry event happen through conversations.

During CEDIA Expo 2026, we met integrators and technology professionals from different markets, discussed upcoming projects, and explored opportunities to work together.

Those conversations resulted in new partnerships with integrators in America and Europe.

We are excited to continue these relationships beyond the show floor and see AVstudio technology become part of new AV and automation projects.

They also reinforce a principle that continues to guide the direction of our platform: AVstudio. True Open. Open to technologies, integrations, developers, integrators, and new possibilities.

Thank You to Everyone Who Visited Us

Most importantly, we want to thank everyone who took the time to visit us at CEDIA.

Thank you for stopping by the KNX USA exhibit, seeing the AVS Touch Panels in action, asking technical questions, sharing your experience, discussing your projects, and giving us feedback.

For a technology company, there is a major difference between developing a product internally and putting it in front of the professionals who may eventually specify, install, program, and support it.

CEDIA gave us that opportunity.

Every conversation helped us better understand what integrators expect from the next generation of AV control products and where AVstudio can continue improving.

CEDIA 2026 Was an Important Step Forward

We came to Denver ready to demonstrate what we have been building.

We left with much more:

our first AVS Touch Panel pre-orders, new integration partners in the United States and Europe, successful demonstrations alongside KNX technologies, valuable feedback from AV professionals, and many new connections across the industry.

CEDIA Expo 2026 may be over, but the conversations and relationships that started in Denver are just beginning.

Thank you to KNX USA National Group, everyone who visited us, and everyone who continues to follow and support the development of AVstudio.

We look forward to showing you what comes next.

See you at the next one.

See the AVS-10 and AVS-15 in Person

AVS-10 and AVS-15 professional touch panels compared by display size, resolution, dimensions, and hardware specifications.

We’re bringing both members of the new AVS touch panel family to Denver, giving integrators an opportunity to see and experience the hardware firsthand.

The AVS-10 features a 10.1-inch 1280 × 800 display, while the larger AVS-15 provides a 15.6-inch Full HD 1920 × 1080 display.

Both models are purpose-built for professional AV and automation installations and share the same core platform: Android 14, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage, PoE+, and direct control interfaces for connecting AV and automation hardware.

Combined with AVstudio Runtime, the panels provide a dedicated platform for deploying custom HTML-based control interfaces and connecting them with the physical systems they control.

At CEDIA Expo, you’ll be able to take a closer look at both sizes, compare their form factors, see the mounting concept, and discuss how the panels can fit into your next project.

Introducing AVstudio NG at CEDIA Expo

The new hardware is only part of what we’re bringing to Denver.

We’ll also be showcasing AVstudio NG, the next generation of our AV development platform.

AVstudio NG takes the visual development workflow AV professionals already know and brings it into a modern software development environment.

Instead of keeping your project inside a proprietary editor or requiring a constant connection to a cloud service, AVstudio NG works with real project files on your computer.

Projects use familiar technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JSON and can be developed directly inside Visual Studio Code and compatible VS Code-based environments.

That changes what is possible when developing professional AV systems.

Work Locally — Even Offline

Your AVstudio NG project lives locally on your computer.

That means you can continue developing without relying on a browser or a permanent internet connection — an important advantage when working on-site, commissioning systems, traveling, or developing in environments with limited connectivity.

Your project is also made up of open, human-readable files rather than being locked inside a proprietary project format.

Modern Development Tools Meet AV

Moving AVstudio into a modern development environment opens the door to the tools that software developers already use every day.

Developers can work with Git, extensions, custom JavaScript and CSS, source control, debugging tools, and modern code editors while continuing to use AVstudio’s visual approach to building control systems.

You don’t have to choose between visual AV development and traditional software development anymore.

Visual when you want it. Code when you need it.

And now, there’s another major part of that workflow.

AI Comes to AV Development

AI is rapidly changing the way software is created, but traditional closed AV development environments have made it difficult to take advantage of modern AI development tools.

AVstudio NG changes that.

Because projects are built from structured, human-readable files and standard web technologies, modern AI coding tools can understand the project they’re working with.

AI can assist with tasks such as creating pages and interface elements, generating variables and actions, writing JavaScript and CSS, applying styling, reviewing project structure, and identifying missing or inconsistent project data.

Instead of treating AI as a separate tool outside the AV development process, AVstudio NG makes it possible to bring AI directly into the development workflow.

Visual when you want it. Code when you need it. AI when it helps.

At CEDIA Expo 2026, we’ll be ready to demonstrate what this new workflow looks like and discuss how it can change the way integrators develop and maintain AV projects.

Hardware and Software Built to Work Together

The AVS touch panels and AVstudio NG represent two sides of the same direction for AVstudio.

With AVstudio NG, integrators have a modern environment for building their projects.

With AVstudio Runtime, those applications can communicate with AV and automation hardware.

And with the AVS-10 and AVS-15, AVstudio now provides dedicated professional hardware on which those interfaces can be deployed.

Together, they create a workflow that connects modern web development, AI-assisted development, professional AV control, and dedicated touchscreen hardware.

AVstudio + KNX

Our participation at CEDIA Expo 2026 will be part of the KNX USA exhibit at Booth #C1104, alongside other companies working within the KNX ecosystem.

It’s a natural environment for what we’re building.

AVstudio is focused on bridging modern software interfaces with professional AV, automation, and building control systems — while giving integrators the flexibility to create interfaces around the requirements of each project.

If you’re interested in KNX, professional touch panels, custom visualization, integrated control, modern AV development, or AI-assisted AV workflows, we’d be glad to show you what we’re working on.

The Award Has Arrived: AVstudio Editor Named Best Integrator Software Tool at InfoComm 2026

There are moments that deserve more than an announcement.

Earlier this summer at InfoComm 2026, AVstudio Editor was named Best Integrator Software Tool in the rAVe [PUBS] Best of InfoComm Awards. Now, the award has officially arrived at the AVstudio office — giving us another opportunity to celebrate an important milestone for our team and community.

Recognized at InfoComm 2026

InfoComm 2026 marked one of the most important events in AVstudio’s history.

During the show, we presented the expanding AVstudio software ecosystem and introduced the next generation of technologies we are building for professional AV developers and integrators.

At the same time, AVstudio Editor was selected by rAVe [PUBS] as the 2026 Best of InfoComm winner for Best Integrator Software Tool.

The recognition is especially meaningful because AVstudio Editor was built around a simple idea: professional AV developers should be able to create sophisticated control interfaces using modern web technologies without being locked into outdated development workflows.

Built for AV Integrators

AVstudio Editor gives integrators and developers a modern environment for building professional AV interfaces, dashboards, and control applications.

Instead of treating interface development as an isolated part of an AV system, AVstudio brings modern software development concepts into the professional AV workflow.

Projects can combine visual development with HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, integrations, reusable components, and custom application logic — giving developers the freedom to build interfaces around the actual requirements of a project.

That philosophy continues to guide the evolution of AVstudio.

A Bigger AVstudio Ecosystem

InfoComm 2026 was about more than AVstudio Editor.

At the show, we demonstrated how AVstudio is evolving into a broader ecosystem for developing and deploying modern AV applications.

That includes AVstudio NG, our next-generation Visual Studio Code-based development experience; AVstudio Runtime, the execution environment powering AVstudio applications; the AVS-10 Touch Panel, purpose-built hardware for modern HTML5 interfaces; and continued development of App Container for deploying applications across iOS and Android devices.

Together, these technologies represent our vision for a more open AV development environment — one built around modern tools, open standards, flexible deployment, and greater freedom for developers and integrators.

From InfoComm to the AVstudio Office

Seeing AVstudio Editor listed among the Best of InfoComm winners was already an exciting moment.

Having the physical award arrive at our office makes that recognition feel even more tangible.

It represents years of development, experimentation, feedback, and collaboration with the people who actually use AVstudio on real projects.

Most importantly, it belongs to more than just our development team.

It reflects the contributions of our users, integrators, partners, testers, and everyone who has shared feedback and helped us understand where professional AV development needs to go next.

Thank you to the AV community and to rAVe [PUBS] for this recognition.

The award now has a place in our office.

And we’re already working on what comes next.

Git Integration in AVstudio NG

As AV systems continue to adopt modern software development practices, tools like Git are becoming increasingly valuable. While many programmers are familiar with version control, it’s still relatively uncommon in the AV industry despite the benefits it provides.

Native Git integration is one of the biggest workflow improvements we’ve introduced in AVstudio NG. Git allows you to track every change made to a project over time. Instead of manually saving backup copies, every revision is stored in a structured history that you can review, restore, or share with other developers.

What Exactly Is Git?

At its core, Git is a version control system.

Every time you reach a milestone, you can create a commit that records exactly what changed. If a bug is introduced later, you can compare revisions, restore previous versions, or identify precisely when the problem occurred.

Git also makes collaboration much easier. Multiple developers can work on the same project simultaneously, merge their changes, and maintain a complete history of the project’s development. This workflow has become the standard across nearly every area of software development.

How Does It Benefit AVstudio NG?

AVstudio NG is built as a Visual Studio Code extension, giving you direct access to Git without leaving your development environment.

Because AVstudio projects use open, text-based project files, Git can track meaningful changes throughout your interface. You can see exactly what was modified, maintain a complete revision history, experiment with new ideas without risking your production project, and collaborate more effectively with other developers. Git provides confidence that every change is documented, reversible, and easy to share.

Git is just one example of how AVstudio NG combines the visual intuitiveness of AVstudio Editor with the familiar workflows of industry-standard development tools. By building on a platform that many developers already know, onboarding is smoother, and the learning curve is significantly reduced. The result is a development environment that feels familiar, efficient, and flexible, allowing developers to focus more on building great user interfaces and less on managing their workflow.

Want To Learn More?

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meeting to discuss AVstudio NG in depth, email us at sales@avstudio.app.

We’re always happy to help.

AVstudio is looking for 10 reviewers to put the new AVS-10 Touch Panel to work and share their honest experience with the AV community.

If selected, you’ll receive an AVS-10 Touch Panel to evaluate in your own environment. Use it the way you normally would, whether that’s integrating it into a project, comparing it to another touch panel, or simply exploring its capabilities. Once you’ve completed the review requirements, the AVS-10 is yours to keep at no cost.

Your review does not necessarily need to be polished or professionally produced content. Above all, we want to hear what you really think.

How to Participate

Applications are open until August 7, 2026. After the application period closes, the AVstudio team will review all submissions and select 10 participants.

If selected, you’ll have 30 days to evaluate the AVS-10 and publish an honest review on at least two of the following platforms: LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, or Instagram. Your review can be a written post with photos, a video, or an article—whatever best reflects your experience.

The program is open worldwide. Participants are responsible for shipping and any applicable customs costs. You may also choose to pick up your AVS-10 at our office in Charlotte, North Carolina, or at CEDIA 2026.

What We’d Love to See

There are no right or wrong answers. Honest feedback is the entire purpose of this program.

If you’re not sure where to start, consider talking about:
- Your first impressions
- Build quality and design
- Performance and responsiveness
- Ease of setup and day-to-day use
- Features you enjoyed
- Areas that could be improved
- How the AVS-10 compares to other touch panels you’ve used
- The types of projects or use cases you tested
What is the AVS-10?

The AVS-10 is AVstudio’s native 10-inch touch panel, designed to run modern HTML5 user interfaces through AVstudio Runtime.

Every AVS-10 includes AVstudio Runtime for launching interfaces built with AVstudio, along with App Container, a built-in management interface that makes it easy to deploy, update, and manage HTML5 projects. You can upload projects directly from your computer or deploy them from a URL in just a few steps.

Because AVstudio is platform-agnostic, the AVS-10 isn’t limited to projects created with AVstudio. It can also run HTML5 interfaces built with other tools, giving developers the flexibility to deploy the projects that best fit their workflow.

A Few Final Details

The AVS-10 Touch Panel is provided at no cost as part of the Review Program. Once you’ve completed the review requirements, the touch panel is yours to keep.

If the review requirements are not completed, AVstudio reserves the right to request the return of the touch panel or invoice the participant for its retail value.

If you’re interested in being one of the first people to put the AVS-10 through real-world use and help shape its future through honest feedback, we’d love to hear from you.

AVS-10: A Touch Panel Built for Modern AV

The way AV applications are built has changed. Modern development workflows, web technologies, and open standards have created new possibilities for AV interfaces, but those applications still need hardware designed to support them.

AVS-10 was created as a core part of the AVstudio ecosystem, bringing together modern hardware, AVstudio Runtime, and an open software foundation in a single touch panel. Rather than focusing on a single control platform, AVS-10 is designed to support modern AV deployments through standards-based technologies, flexible integrations, and a development experience that extends across the AVstudio ecosystem.

AVS-10 serves as a platform for AV control, automation, and application deployment while remaining tightly connected with the broader AVstudio ecosystem.

Part of the AVstudio Ecosystem

AVS-10 is a native part of the AVstudio ecosystem, designed to bring together modern hardware, AVstudio Runtime, and open web technologies in a single platform.

Applications built in AVstudio NG are deployed to AVS-10 through AVstudio Runtime, the execution environment that powers Powered by AVstudio touch panels. Runtime provides applications with access to the device’s hardware features, platform services, local storage, and communication capabilities, allowing modern HTML5 applications to function as complete AV control interfaces.

At its core, Runtime is built on a customized fork of Android. This provides a robust, flexible, and widely supported foundation while allowing AVstudio to optimize the platform specifically for professional AV deployments. Together, this creates a touch panel engineered for responsive operation, reliable performance, and the demanding requirements of modern AV environments. Optional Google Services integration also provides access to the Google Play Store, allowing third-party Android applications to be installed when needed.

Rather than being built around a single proprietary control platform, AVS-10 is designed around Runtime, modern web technologies, and open integration. It supports multiple control systems and deployment scenarios while remaining a natural extension of the AVstudio ecosystem.

Built for Real-World AV Deployments

AVS-10 was designed for professional AV installations that demand more than an interface. It integrates with existing systems, responds reliably, and adapts to the environments where it’s deployed.

The platform combines traditional AV connectivity with modern IoT technologies, making it equally comfortable to control legacy equipment or communicate with today’s connected devices. Native support for GPIO, RS-232, MQTT, and Zigbee allows AVS-10 to connect with displays, DSPs, lighting systems, HVAC, occupancy sensors, motorized blinds, and countless other devices without requiring separate gateways or specialized hardware.

Deployment is equally practical. Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplifies installation by delivering power and network connectivity over a single cable, while built-in features such as the proximity sensor and programmable LED strip improve the user experience through wake-on-approach, visual status indicators, notifications, and room feedback.

Together, these capabilities make AVS-10 more than a touch panel. It’s a central point of interaction for professional AV, building automation, and smart environments while remaining flexible enough to support new technologies as projects continue to evolve.

Looking Ahead

AVS-10 brings together the technologies and principles that define the AVstudio ecosystem into a single piece of hardware.

Combined with AVstudio NG and AVstudio Runtime, AVS-10 provides a complete platform for building, deploying, and running modern AV applications. Developers can continue working with familiar web technologies while integrators gain a touch panel designed around open modern connectivity and professional AV deployment.
