The Captus Systems Design Process “CDP” brings unparalleled results to your Audio Visual Technology project. Our non-ego, pragmatic, fact-based, data-driven, approaches drive measurable repeatable outcomes.

The CDP confronts an all too common problem – Expectations not met throughout the design and delivery process.

Captus Systems was founded for just this very moment in a time. The CDP provides lower cost, better results and better documentation.  It is now too important to use anything less than the proven disciplines taken from years of Best Practice in AV and IT and combined into the CDP.

The Captus Systems Design Process is:  Consultation & Understanding of Requirements, Expedited Service, On-Time RFI Responses and Submittals, Detailed Documentation and Drawings, Expert Project Management, Executive Overview, Multiple Vertical Expertise and In-house Engineering Team.  

Why

CAPTUS SYSTEMS provides a team with the knowledge of IT, the understanding of AV, the design sense of a creative team and technology to manage it all.  The Captus Systems management team has over 120 years of combined experience, delivering successful technology solutions and construction projects, with the highest integrity across North America.    

Technology drives innovation.  Lead with Technology – Deliver with People.

The challenges faced by the healthcare industry are special.

Most healthcare organizations cannot just build a new building, bring in brand new staff or replace an existing system and process.  Changes are strategic, well thought-out and planned over many years.   Most of the work needs to be done in a legacy environment with an eye to the future to maintain the competitive edge and to be essential to the communities they serve. 

CAPTUS SYSTEMS is unique in our expert understanding of the technology.  Our engineers have designed and delivered hundreds of systems with that same philosophy.

A video wall can be utilized in a space that either does not have enough traditional windows or none at all.  A video wall can enhance the mood and could even change the feel of that basement office or the old feel of that patient’s waiting room. This concept is also known as moving arts which is an LCD/LED screen placed into a picture frame of your choice.

More with Less.  Telemedicine & Telepathology are some of the leading technologies that hospitals are implementing to maintain and produce their unique and competitive value. Latency, caused by inadequate infrastructure can be mitigated and removed with new technologies delivering more functionality with less bandwidth.

The modern medical facility delivers high resolution encrypted scans, video and other data to the person who needs to see it, when they need to see it.

Multi-building campus facilities can bring the healthcare professional into the process, regardless of their physical location on the campus.

Language translation at patient bedside or family waiting room can be provided with careful attention paid to the infrastructure and HIPPA rules.  Solutions loaded on a tablet and attached to infrastructure, can provide remarkable and meaningful real-time results.

Bringing a home to the hospital speeds recovery. This is a fact.  An important element of the modern home experience is provided by Audio Visual + IT systems.  Bringing the home into a patients recovery process is essential, especially for the tech savvy young people and the young at heart.

Sound masking reduces noise distractions, improves productivity and protects speech privacy.

The modern workplace has a speech privacy problem.  Speech privacy is the inability of an unintended listener to understand outside conversations. A worker with a lack of speech privacy will overhear lots of conversations they shouldn’t.  The majority of office workers (60%) are unhappy with the lack of speech privacy and speech privacy is the number one driver of workplace dissatisfaction.  Speech privacy effects the bottom line.

Trends in the design and architectural communities, that has brought many efficiencies, are also contributing to new challenges faced.  Open floorplan designs have brought workers closer together and have fewer materials (carpets, ceiling tiles and partitions) that block and absorb sound. The increased use of glass and metal improve aesthetic but amplify office noise.

Sound masking is the process of adding an unobtrusive background sound to the environment that raises the spaces ambient noise level.  It is barely noticeable, sounding like the HVAC, specially tuned to make voices less intelligible and therefore less distracting.

A CAPTUS SYSTEMS designed sound masking system will be easy to install & setup, will operate on a schedule, can be managed via a web interface, can be integrated with paging, background music and emergency systems.

The corporate healthcare messaging experience is now an integrated Audio Visual + IT experience.

Patient check-in via kiosk can save time and verify patient identity with added accuracy and security. This allows for better information pertaining to individual needs.

Background music systems, centrally managed, can deliver a unique sound to each area and is a cost-effective method to improve the “hospital feel”.

Commercial Signage has many applications like reinforcing a brand, displaying an events calendar, streaming news or welcoming new employees and clients.

Captus Systems believes that digital signs that “dissolve” into the aesthetic have the increased power to captivate by putting the focus on the message, and not the display.

CAPTUS SYSTEMS believes the aesthetic matters.  We help you find the correct technology, so the power of the content can be delivered to appropriate audiences throughout the enterprise and centrally maintained.

This is where IT and AV become one… and the design community has begun to recognize the ramifications are not just to a network.

The impact on design will be profound.  An AV cabinet that may have resided in its own room, has been getting smaller for years and may disappear completely.  Standalone racks are being replaced with network receivers, encoders and decoders residing in specialized AV / IT in-wall boxes.  The AV IDF and IT IDF, already similar, will become indistinguishable from each other.  While the look of the spaces will become more streamlined, the design needs will also shift.  Heat, location and bandwidth become critical.

CAPTUS SYSTEMS has the data, tools and experience to help. Our unique understanding incudes the best practices from IT and the unique capabilities in AV.

Now overflow can mean viewing a CEO Town Hall Event in a completely different building in a different state (or country) as a part of the basic system design.

Corporations invest billions in conference room build-outs and the technology associated with them. Yet, with all the money spent, it is difficult, if not impossible, to see the complete picture on the RoI as it relates to the technology. Has productivity been improved? Are people using the rooms? Is the technology in the room being used? Are people attending in person? Are they actually “seated” in the room, attending via conference all or not present at all? 

Captus Systems Design Process puts tools in place to provide answers. 

CAPTUS SYSTEMS has effective easy-to-use solutions with real-time data providing the insight. Easy to run reports are one thing but, dashboards and notifications use the power of technology to be more profitable and to make better decisions that bring value to the design process.

With proper planning, putting a conference room together can actually be quite simple, and our Captus Systems Design Process can and will put the tools in place to provide the right answers.  

CAPTUS SYSTEMS has effective, user-friendly solutions with real-time data providing the necessary insight you need to structure your business model. Easy-to-run reports are one thing, but dashboards and notifications use the power of technology to maximize profit and conceive more sensible solutions that bring value and controlled variables  to the design process.
