But when the project was completed, Tune Street was being repeatedly called for power quality issues by the client to reboot or fix lighting, shades, set top boxes and other parts of the system that were randomly dying out or malfunctioning. If remote reboot was not an option, Tune Street had to send a team member out to the house, which was three hours away.

Shortly after AVAD, a premier AV solutions provider, moved into its Van Nuys, CA facility two years ago several of its expensive video displays began to experience pixelation, performance issues, downtime, and failure. The problems were happening on a consistent basis across all of their displays on site, regardless of the brand. Branch Manager Timo Hildebrandt noted that AVAD replaced at least six HD panels ranging in size from 60” to 85” without ever knowing the cause. Hildebrant assumed the equipment was defective and expected its replacement would function properly. When the replacement equipment also experienced similar issues everyone was left scratching their heads.
