AI-Powered Audience Analytics for ProAV & Signage Platforms

Turn video streams into actionable intelligence across digital signage, video conferencing, sports tracking, and smart AV environments. Measure audience presence and engagement, enable adaptive content, and unlock real-time interactivity. 

Promwad designs custom AI solutions tailored to your devices—from intelligent camera and audio enhancement to audience and player detection for adaptive AV experiences. We optimize the entire edge pipeline and integrate it seamlessly with your AV platforms. 

Turn Video Infrastructure into a Revenue & Insight Engine

Problem. ProAV and signage vendors often operate in the dark. Without reliable viewer data, it’s difficult to: 

  • Prove ROI to advertisers and venue owners 
  • Optimize content strategy based on real engagement 
  • Monetize premium inventory with confidence 

Solution. Promwad brings AI and analytics directly to the edge, where video is captured and decisions must be made in real time.

Edge AI — Not Just Cloud Dashboards

We design embedded AI pipelines that run on SoCs, AI accelerators, or FPGA-based platforms: 

Efficiency over legacy DSP

Real-time presence detection
and audience counting

Full-cycle development

Attention and dwell-time
estimation

Efficiency over legacy DSP

Event-based triggers
for adaptive content

Full-cycle development

Offline-capable, low-latency
operation

This ensures predictable performance, reduced bandwidth costs, and privacy-first architecture. 

True ProAV Interoperability 

From physical interfaces to IP transport, audio networking, and control automation, we ensure end-to-end interoperability across modern ProAV architectures: 

Video over IP Standards

IPMX · SMPTE ST 2110 · NDI

Audio over IP

Dante · AES67 · Ravenna

Control & Automation Platforms

Crestron · Q-SYS · Extron

Hardware-Optimized AI Performance

As a design partner of NDI and official collaborator with Lattice Semiconductor, NXP, and other leading vendors, we ensure your analytics layer fits naturally
into modern AV-over-IP and embedded environments.

We optimize the full AI camera pipeline:
- Hardware-aware model tuning
- Zero-copy video paths
- SoC/FPGA acceleration
- Power and BOM optimization

The result: advanced analytics without inflating device cost
or energy consumption.

Full-Cycle Accountability

From system architecture to production rollout:

- Hardware and firmware design
- Embedded Linux / RTOS
- ML integration and optimization
- QA, compliance, and lifecycle support

One engineering partner. End-to-end responsibility.

Our Tech Stack & AI Building Blocks

Audience analytics must adapt to your stack—not the other way around.

  • Video: IPMX, ST 2110, NDI, HDMI, SDI
  • Audio networking: Dante, AES67, Ravenna 
  • Control systems: Crestron, Q-SYS, Extron 

Analytics outputs are API-first: 

  • Event streams 
  • Time-series metrics 
  • Session summaries 
  • Webhooks to CMS or conferencing platforms 

AI Capabilities

We design modular and configurable analytics modules including: 

  • Presence detection and audience counting 
  • Attention estimation and dwell time 
  • Optional face/object recognition (privacy-configurable) 
  • Coarse demographic estimation (where legally permitted) 
  • Gesture-based interaction and intelligent content switching 

Deployment options include: 

  • Fully on-device inference 
  • Hybrid edge + cloud 
  • Cloud-based processing (if required by architecture) 

Privacy by Design

Audience analytics must build trust—not risk it. 

Our approach includes: 

  • Anonymized processing modes 
  • No raw video storage by default 
  • Configurable retention policies 
  • GDPR-ready architecture principles

Application Areas

digital-signage-software-development

Digital Signage — Adaptive Advertising & Measurable ROI 

Enable signage platforms to: 

  • Detect audience presence and size 
  • Adapt creatives, pacing, language, or CTA in real time 
  • Measure engagement and dwell time 
  • Provide advertisers with verifiable performance data 

Ideal for signage platform vendors, CMS providers, and camera-enabled display manufacturers seeking competitive differentiation. 

Video Conferencing — Smart Capture & Room Intelligence

Enhance meeting endpoints with:

  • Auto-framing, intelligent autofocus, and speaker tracking
  • Eye-contact correction and blink-aware optimization
  • Background replacement for virtual or branded scenes
  • Voice isolation and background noise reduction
  • Occupancy and room utilization analytics

Deliver better user experience and enterprise-ready insights from every meeting space.

Business tv conference
Digital Signage

Sports Tracking — Intelligent Player Capture

Build smart camera systems that:

  • Track players automatically
  • Maintain accurate autofocus
  • Trigger highlights in real time
  • Enable interactive or data-driven viewing modes

Reduce production effort while increasing capture consistency and viewer engagement.

From Camera Feed to Monetizable Insights

We guide vendors through a structured transformation: 

Camera feed → Edge AI inference → Normalized metrics → Platform integration → Business impact 

Low-Risk Adoption

- Deploy analytics as a “sidecar” module without disrupting AV distribution
- Start with a pilot (single venue or device line)
- Scale gradually across product portfolios
- Support mixed SDI/HDMI/IP environments

Business Outcomes

- Prove audience reach and engagement
- Increase advertiser confidence and revenue potential
- Enable real-time personalization
- Replace guesswork with measurable ROI

Our Case Studies

AI Photo Booth for Trade Shows 

Edge AI hardware–software booth that turns stand traffic into short interactive sessions and branded takeaways.

Challenge 

Trade show visitors notice the logo but don’t stop—stands look similar, and conversations don’t start by themselves. The solution had to work offline, fit different booth layouts, and require no extra IT setup per event. 

Solution 

A compact AI Photo Booth running fully on-device: visitors pick a character/mood, get a transformed image in seconds, and receive a branded photo. Easily re-skinned per event (characters, overlays, UI theme, languages, partner logos).

Result 

Used at Embedded World 2025, ANGA COM 2025, and IBC 2025: increased visitor stops, kept people on the stand longer, and generated many concrete engineering and project discussions—with branded photos spreading visibility across the venue.
