Audio Video Design, Inc. was incorporated in 1994 to provide a cost-effective alternative to expensive teleprompter software and hardware products.
Our first low cost teleprompter products were Amiga-based, and were replaced by DOS and Windows systems in 1995. Our first NAB appearance was that year, and we showed the world's first Windows 3.1-based teleprompter software.
