Media control in Audio-Visual (AV) systems refers to the ability to manage and manipulate various media sources, such as audio, video, and other content, within a given AV setup. Media control systems allow users to seamlessly operate, switch between, and manage different audiovisual devices and content sources, often from a central control interface.

This functionality is essential in environments where multiple AV components need to work together cohesively, such as conference rooms, lecture halls, theaters, and smart homes.
