In today’s quick-paced entertainment, hospitality, and corporate spaces, having a smooth and user-friendly AV control system is super important. Whether you’re managing video walls in a sports bar, handling audio in a corporate office, or setting lighting for an event, the right AV setup can really change the game.
One of the most powerful, easy-to-use, and flexible AV control systems out there is Savi. It’s built to make AV management a breeze, taking away the headaches of traditional systems and making it super simple to set up, automate, and keep track of your venue’s AV gear.
If you’re thinking about upgrading your AV system, here’s why Savi should totally be on your radar.
1. Unified Control Over Audio, Video, and Lighting
Unlike many AV systems that need separate controls for different parts, Savi brings audio, video, and lighting together in one simple platform. You can run everything from one web-based interface, which lets users:
- Manage video displays and walls
- Adjust sound in specific zones
- Control lighting and atmosphere
- Automate tasks for smooth venue operations
This means no more flipping between different apps or dealing with complicated setups—everything is in one easy system.
2. Web-Based Interface: Control from Any Device
One of Savi’s coolest features is its fully web-based interface. Forget about needing special hardware; Savi lets you access your AV settings from any modern device with a web browser.
- 📱 Smartphones (iOS & Android)
- 💻 Tablets & Laptops
- 🖥️ Touch Panels & Desktop Computers
This makes it easy for staff, IT people, and managers to control everything on the fly, whether they’re at the bar, in the back office, or even off-site.
3. Effortless Video Wall and Display Management
Handling multiple screens and video walls can get tricky, but Savi makes it super easy. With its drag-and-drop controls, you can:
- Change display layouts on the go
- Split screens for different video sources
- Switch inputs in real-time
- Schedule content or ads
Plus, it gives you previews of what’s showing on each screen without having to check each one physically.
Use Case Example:
In a sports bar, you could show a live game on one half of the screen while running ads or promotions on the other side—all without needing extra equipment.
4. Intelligent Audio Control & Customization
Audio is just as important as video, and Savi makes sure that audio distribution is super smooth. Key features include:
- 🎵 Multi-zone audio management—Assign different audio sources to different areas
- 🎧 Live audio streaming—Sync live event audio with visuals
- 🔊 Custom playlist curation—Easily integrate music services or your favorite audio source
- 🔄 Network-based audio routing—Control audio over IP without additional cables
This gives venues like restaurants, stadiums, or entertainment spots flexibility, ensuring the right sound is in the right place at the right time.
5. Advanced Lighting Control: Create Any Ambiance
Lighting can really set the mood, and Savi helps you create the right vibe easily. With DMX-based lighting control, Savi supports:
- 💡 Integration for both low and high-voltage lighting
- 🎨 Custom color setups & transitions
- 🔄 Automated lighting for events
Example:
A concert venue can match lighting to a performer’s setlist, while a sports bar can automatically change colors based on the winning team.
Savi also allows for venue-wide setups where lighting, video, and audio can all sync together for a truly immersive experience.
6. Automation & Macros: Save Time with One-Click Controls
Savi’s macro system lets venues automate complicated tasks with just one button.

These custom automations make Savi perfect for busy venues that need to change setups quickly.
7. Remote Monitoring & Troubleshooting: Reduce Downtime
One big challenge in AV management is figuring out and fixing problems. With Savi’s remote monitoring tools, IT teams can troubleshoot issues from anywhere.
- ✔️ Check device status (online/offline)
- ✔️ View live display previews
- ✔️ Restart & reconfigure devices remotely

Savi’s reliability is top-notch—with over 100 Topgolf locations using it, there’s never been a case of downtime over an hour unless it was due to outside issues like network problems.
8. Seamless Integration with Existing AV Systems
Got an AV system already? No worries. Savi works with a bunch of third-party products, including:
- ✅ QSC DSP & Audio Systems
- ✅ DirectTV & other streaming services
- ✅ Commercial Displays (LG, Samsung, etc.)
If there’s no existing integration, Savi’s team can whip up custom drivers to support new hardware.
9. Cost-Effective & Scalable
Savi is different from traditional AV systems that need pricey specialized hardware. It’s:
- 💰 More affordable—Saves you from expensive controllers & unnecessary gear
- 📈 Scalable—Works for small venues to huge multi-location setups
