2010 rAVe Best of InfoComm Awards: Best Potential New Technology (tie)
WOW Vision’s VEOS. Although not ready for prime time yet (our demo included a handful of glitches), WOW Vision understands the future of meeting rooms. Basically, it’s a wireless server that allows anyone on the network to connect and present (stream) whatever he wants via Wi-Fi to a connected projector (totally wireless). It’s overpriced, at $8000 per room, and streaming video was iffy (however, PC stuff was perfect), but the future potential of this new technology — when it’s glitch-free — is exciting.
Crestron’s 3 Series Control System. After seven years with Creston’s Series 2 processors as the backbone of Crestron control systems, they announced at InfoComm their next generation, and it’s totally new. Crestron says the 3 Series is actually an operating system, and the control protocols (e.g., HVAC, lighting, etc.) are more like pieces of software running within it — no question it’s for complicated installs where programming is required. We’ll be watching with interest to see how the industry embraces the change.
