Welcome! What's On Your Mind?

Here at PCD, our crew of highly-certified installers and technicians stand out because of their experience and knowledge of audio, video, and communications systems. PCD’s installation team are all members of the IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) union. Our Northern California JATC training program for Apprentices is run through the Union as well, giving our staff consistency throughout their training and preparing them with the technical aptitude they need to succeed in an ever-changing technological world.

Ambient light rejection (ALR) projection screen technology has been around for a while now. Despite this, there is still confusion about how ALR works. Some of this confusion is caused by manufacturers making inaccurate claims or promoting non-ALR surfaces as a solution.

With today’s power being delivered to client’s facilities, the range of noise injected into the power can be minimal to highly impactive especially when it comes to video. The result is rolling bars, herringbone, and other anomalies including simple noise in the audio systems like pops, cracks and hums. Although there are many brands advertising solutions that utilize an inexpensive capacitor and diode(s), the Surgex products are far beyond the quality level of the competitors and PCD has seen them in action many times.

PCD takes pride in the selection and deployment of audio visual equipment to match the needs of the client and to the facility in which it is being installed. To that end, PCD carefully plans the rack construction with vigilant detail to ensure that the finished product functions properly but also looks neat, orderly, and clean. This kind of care helps to insure future serviceability by consistent and methodical dressing of cables and standardized wire identification.
