It’s totally free to download, and is divided up into six parts to make it easier to read what you’re most interested in. Check it out here.

COLUMNS

 

+ IGMP and the Quirky Querier [Erik Indresøvde]

Network configuration is a key consideration when deploying AV over IP, so if you're in the AV industry, you should probably familiarize yourself with the terms "Multicast"and "IGMP" sooner rather than later.

+ Converting Leads for Sales [Anthony Coppedge]

A start-up audiovisual systems integrator needs to take every single lead seriously because, with no backlog of client work, every new lead feels like immediate gratification as a sales lead. When this company grows and has plenty of work, do the leads become less important or is every new lead still a sales lead?

 

+ The Reality of 8K [Jonathan Brawn, CTS, DSCE, DSDE, DSNE, DCME, ISF-C]

Does 8K really matter? What will make it better than 4K? Why would we use 8K? My personal answer… Why not? 8K delivers four times the resolution of 4K (yeah, you’ve heard that one before), but also consider WHY that matters. The concept here is not just resolution, but pixel density.
