About Specialist AV – Specialists By Name & Nature

They say that to truly achieve success you should focus on doing what you know best. That’s the principle that led Joe Murphy to open Specialist AV in 2001.

His plan was a simple one: Use his deep knowledge and experience of the video industry, ensure he surrounds himself with video experts, and always have the very best and latest cutting-edge hardware and software; then use all this to become Ireland’s leading video capture, conversion and mastering company.

The Background

Joe’s education in video began in his teens, leaving school to work in PVL (Professional Video Limited). His tenure there was a long one that ran 15 years and only ended with the closure of the company in 1999. Joe started in the AV Equipment Hire department and as his knowledge grew he moved into the Video Capture & Conversion department. Over time he worked on larger and more complex projects. PVL provided varied video services and in his time at PVL Joe worked in every department and his knowledge grew. Eventually he was promoted to General Manager, where we honed his business, planning and logistics skills.

So when PVL was closed, Joe was determined to take everything he had learned and start a business that would work with all the major Irish companies that worked with or had video needs, and so Specialist AV was born.
