July 13, 2021 | Volume: 13 | Issue: 13

 

Here’s a question for you, #AVtweeps: What does digital signage have to do with creating a seamless hybrid experience? As it turns out, a lot! From the software-based platform to the computer — you can’t have a hybrid experience without a proper screen. Find out more by reading Mark Coxon’s column featured this week.

Next up, check out Jeff Hastings’ blog all about the lockdown boom in retail AV. That boom should come as no surprise to any of you — as many retail stores were considered essential during the pandemic and therefore kept the doors open. To keep customers coming all through COVID-19, many had no choice but to amp up the AV signage.

I hope you’ll also enjoy a column from Gordon Dutch about his experience at ISE London 2021. Unfortunately, so many of us could not get there this year, but we did get the next best thing!

Also, check out the news from JVC Professional, PPDS, Navori Labs, Samsung and more.

COLUMNS

 

+ The Struggle for ‘Seamless’ Hybrid Experiences [Mark Coxon]

There are 1,001 blogs on the hybrid workplace and hybrid classrooms. Heck, I may have even contributed to that total. But before you dismiss this one, I’ll tell you it’s short, intuitive and not quite the same as the others. If you’re doing hybrid meetings or classrooms, you already know the main components. The other main component is the computer running the software-based meeting platform.

+ The Lockdown Boom in Retail AV [Jeff Hastings]

It’s been a good year for retail AV sales. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. The truth is, there were winners as well as losers this past year, and the winners won big. BrightSign received the single-largest PO in its history right in the middle of lockdown. That PO came from a retailer.

 

+ My Thoughts on the ISE London Roadshow [Gordon Dutch]

As I am sure regular rAVe readers will know, the regular ISE 2021 show in Barcelona planned for February 2021 was initially moved back to June 2021 and then canceled this year due to COVID. Shortly after, ISE announced a series of regional roadshows starting in early June in Barcelona, going on to Munich, Amsterdam and finishing in London, alongside a “Digital” ISE offering. Unfortunately due to ongoing COVID restrictions, Munich and Amsterdam were canceled. However, Barcelona launched as planned, (including the digital content) and London was able to run due to the U.K.’s advanced vaccination program.
