Getting the right background and foreground music is crucial. It helps make your customers and guests feel comfortable. Getting it right will result in your customers staying longer, spending more and returning. Leaving your music system to professionals, like AMS, makes sense. It frees up you and your staff to get on with with your core business, while still having complete control over what music is, and sometimes more importantly, what is not played.
With an AMS NZ music video system you can relax and know that our systems are very stable. The quality of our music video's are some of the best in the business. In addition we deliver High Definition (HD) to your screens so you can expect the best possible images. You can also control who has access to it. If there is a problem it's nice to know we are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Our computer music & music video systems can be used by management, staff and/or your DJ.
Getting the right music mix is made easier with our software. You can select the pace of the music by genre/style/category and/or by BPM's (Beats Per Minute - a way of measuring the pace of a song - The higher the BPM the faster the song). Using BPM's and one or more of our 90 + categories to make play lists means you can get the right mix with the least amount of effort. Our experience and advice is always on hand, or if you prefer, we can completely manage it for you.
There is a Difference In Picture Quality!
When we say that our competitors squash their music video files in order to fit their videos on tiny hard drives we mean it! Compare the two pictures below for yourself. What you will see is what most of our competitors pictures look like on your screens vs AMS's. You will notice that the image is faded like and old photograph that's been left in the sun. Click on the image to enlarge it and really see the difference.
For the technical person the files below are the same Mpeg2's copied in at 3.6 Mb/s vs AMS's at our average 7Mb/s.

New - Two Music Video Outputs On A Single System
Our music video systems now support two video outputs along with another audio only output. This means you can have three zones all at once all on the one system. This allows you to have two different music video channels or maybe a dedicated ads channel, a music video channel and a further audio only channel on a single system!
The best new of all is that this costs you nothing extra! Just another reason why we recon AMS provides the Best Value For Money Music Systems In NZ!
New - Put Your Logo On Your Screens!
While our competitors are busy promoting themselves on your screens only AMS allow you to have your logo on-screen over the video's (just like the TV stations watermark but better - see below. Your logo would be where ours is. We are not aware of ANY other operator to offer this in the NZ market.

Our Music Video Systems Also Play DVD's, Flash, Powerpoint & Quizzes
Some customers need to be able to play DVD's, Some flash presentations and in some cases Powerpoint for their Quiz Nights. Our systems will play both Quiz-It and Livewire quizzes.
Maximising Customer Spend On-Premise
On-Screen Images & Commercials
Let’s face it, point of sale promotional material has been around for years. This sort of advertising works, however the old paper and cardboard is a thing of the past. The good news is that our software has the ability to play on-screen commercials and/or just images that help promote your place. In addition to our On-Screen Advertising billboards, you also get a scrolling ticker that runs along the bottom of the screen (similar to what your see on CNN/BBC with the stock quotes etc - see image below). Using these tools you can increase your revenue by selling the space at your place!
You can use still Jpeg images like photo’s or Mpeg - moving commercials as seen on DVD’s or your digital camera. Jpeg images can easily be put together by your sign maker/graphic designer, or anyone who can use an application as simple as Microsoft ‘Paint’. We also have a large range of images from both of the main breweries available to you free of charge.

Increase Your Customer Spend
Entertain & Captivate Them With Our Music Video Systems!
Music Video's and entertainment are the key to keeping your customers on-premise for longer. They longer they spend at your premises, the more they spend! Great entertainment gets them talking, telling others and keeps them coming back.
At AMS we have a huge range of music & music videos. You get an unlimited number of songs on our music systems from a library of over 80,000 (and growing!), carefully selected audio, music video and karaoke tracks. It’s not often that we are asked for something we don’t have. Every system has over 90 pre-made categories and genre's. We give you the ability to schedule the lot to play when you want without touching a thing and/or manually create and generate play lists. This means you get the right music, at the right time, when you want it.
We will consult with you to get the right music mix and then load it onto the computer. From there we will fine tune what music is on the system. We are also happy to look at what you have at present, CD’s etc, speak to your DJ or whomever you need us to. Systems are delivered with at least 30,000 tracks loaded. We have access to one of Australasia’s largest music video and audio sources, and all of our new tracks are supplied direct from the record companies.
Our audio and video tracks are some of the highest quality in the business. Much of our back catalogue music video tracks have had their audio re-mastered and we pride ourselves on quality.

All The Control & Features You Could Ever Want
You can have complete control over what music is and isn't played. If it's control you want, you got it. AMS makes it easy. Below are just a few of the control options.
Touch Screen
Our software is touch screen capable. This can be achieved in two ways. You can access our software via your till screens, or we can supply a touch screen dedicated for the music system.
Remote Control
We can supply a remote. If you have a ‘learning’ remote used to control all your other equipment, you can use it to control some of the features on your AMS Music & Video system software. Some of the functions possible are; generate a play list, move to the next or previous track, stop, play etc.
Schedule Your Music
If you want to have the system generate a play list at specific times of the day like, 10am - Easy Listening, 12 midday – Jazz etc, then this can be set up to automatically happen at the right time. AMS’s music scheduling and play list generation is incredibly powerful. You can create a play list and avoid playing the same artist and/or song in a set timeframe like 1 hour.
Remote Access To Your AMS System Via The Internet
Because our music systems are connected to the internet you also have full remote access to the music computer from almost any internet connected device in the world including your laptop, I-Phones and I-Touch's. This is very similar to many security camera systems. With this remote access you can fully control your AMS Music System system as if you were there, and of course check that what you want being played, is being played.
DJ Controllers
DJ’s have specific requirements that aren’t used when using the system for day to day background music. AMS Music Systems can deliver for the most demanding DJ. No other music system provider in the market today can deliver to the degree an AMS Music System can. There is more on this in the how it works section.
Maintaining A Consistent Volume Level
CD’s and the like differ in volume from song to song/CD to CD. The same applies to most MP3 players. This means you have to adjust the volume of your amplifier regularly. All AMS Music & Music Video Systems come with a compressor and limiter built into our software. This means the volume is always kept at a constant level - similar to most radio stations. The only time you turn it up or down is to adjust the sound level you want at the time.
What's Been Played? Logging
To ensure your staff are playing the music they should be the system keeps daily logs of every song ever played and the time it was played.
Easy Music Search For Your Favorite Music Video's
Searching for songs or an album couldn't’t be easier. You can search by title, artist or album or part of either. In the example below we have typed in ‘Rolling’ everything in the system with ‘Rolling’ in will appear in the search window. Once you have found what you want simply drag and drop the track into the play list to have it play. You can also use the 90 odd categories to choose songs from. Easy.

Quality Computer Hardware
At AMS we use, recommend, lease and sell ONLY quality HP/Compaq PC’s and hardware. This is simply because we get the back up and service from HP we expect for our customers. As a result you can expect your music PC to be reliable, if there are any issues, we'll swap it out!
