rAVe House of Worship Edition

Hi #AVtweeps! In our latest house of worship newsletter, Gary Kayye talks about displays. These are — of course — central to the worship experience. But let’s talk about what drives the content across all those screens? Media servers. As Gary Kayye explains in this piece, they’re no longer optional but they are integral to any concert, broadcast or immersive environment. It’s easy then to see why worship spaces should see this same need.


Anyway, also don’t miss Clear-Com’s FreeSpeak Icon Beltpack, Extron’s NetPA 204 POE Amplifier, Sharp’s new LCD line and more.
