AVBuddy

AVBuddy is a systems integrator for professional audio visual, broadcast and media technology, based in Singapore. It was formerly known as Ideal Systems SEA.

The company was set up in Singapore in September 2011 to grow a broadcast systems business in Southeast Asia. It later added the Pro AV market. It bought IPK Broadcast Systems in 2017 and Control Logic Systems in 2025. Today it has more than 100 staff in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. It is now 100% Singapore owned. It has also delivered projects in India, the USA, the UK and Africa.

AVBuddy offers consultation, design, installation, integration, and operation and maintenance support for AV, broadcast, media and technology systems. It serves ten markets. These are broadcast and media, corporate and enterprise, education, government, healthcare, hospitality, marine, sports venues, houses of worship, and retail and aviation, which includes airports.

Its solutions include pro audio, control rooms and command centres, AV interior design, LED video walls, live event broadcast, meeting rooms, NDI services and studio services. It also offers a degauss and destroy system. The pro audio team covers background music, public address, voice alarm and evacuation systems, networked audio, intercoms, sound reinforcement, and testing and tuning on site. For airports, its work includes a background music system and a networked digital public address system at Changi Airport Terminal 3.

AVBuddy builds command centres and control rooms for round-the-clock operation. It says it has built hundreds of them across Asia over the last thirty years. Its in-house team handles consulting, design, build and support. These rooms suit broadcast facilities, transport hubs, surveillance centres and corporate operations centres.
