Dress code "smart blacks"?

"Blacks" is a dress-code term used in the technical industry, basically (and obviously?) meaning "all black" - the principle being that if you are working AV support (as the OP said), you should be hiding in the shadows and invisible. Backstage staff at theatres, gigs, etc. usually wear blacks.

"Smart" is obvious - simply means non-scruffy, ie. plain and not ripped etc.

"Black trousers (not jeans) and a black shirt or a smart, black polo shirt with no logos. No need to wear a suit and tie"

This sounds exactly right.
