What AV MEDIA, a.s. does

AV MEDIA, a.s. is a Prague-headquartered audiovisual technology integration and event production company operating through two core subsidiaries under the Visual Communication, a.s. holding structure: AV MEDIA SYSTEMS, a.s., which designs, installs, and rents AV systems for conference rooms, experience centers, smart offices, classrooms, lecture halls, digital cinemas, and cultural venues; and AV MEDIA EVENTS, a.s., which provides technical event production including LED and green-screen/XR studio production, streaming, dramaturgy and direction, TV/video production, and on-site technical staffing for conferences, corporate events, sports, cultural, and brand activation events. The company also operates a shared services entity (AV MEDIA SSC, s.r.o.) and reports approximately 224 employees executing roughly 4,708 orders per year across six regional offices in the Czech Republic (Prague, Brno, Ostrava, České Budějovice, Plzeň, Pardubice).

The company's technology stack centers on professional broadcast infrastructure, including a 16x3.6m curved 2.8mm-pitch LED wall, a Green Screen studio with XR-enabled virtual environments, and proprietary software products branded oneAVstudio, oneAVstream (event application and streaming platform), Meeting15 (multilingual event app, exclusively represented and co-developed), and a Creative Lab for 2D/3D animation and post-production effects. These assets are complemented by integrations with Slido, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and a proprietary CDN for streaming. The company is a member of the GPA (Global Presence Alliance) for AV integration and AV Alliance for event management, enabling cross-border project delivery to customers in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States.

AV MEDIA generates revenue primarily through professional services: project-based AV system integration and rental contracts for permanent installations, and event-based technical production services billed per event or per production. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; sales are handled through a regional consultant network with direct enterprise and government engagement. Named customer logos span Hilton Prague, Olympus, Syngenta, M&M Reality Holding, Televize Seznam, HC Sparta Praha, BYD Europe, Jagello 2000 (NATO events), and a broad portfolio of Czech schools, universities, museums, and cinema operators. The founder, Petr Barcal, remains associated with the board.
