rAVe ProAV Edition

Hiya folks! How are you doing? Happy Wednesday! I’m here in your inbox with your weekly news wrap-up. I hope you’re ready. If not, stop reading or close your eyes or something.

First of all, Alan C. Brawn writes about the intersection of digital signage and unified communications and collaboration. While we often view these as two disparate portions of the greater AV industry, how can digital signage push us forward into the next generation of meeting technology? Food for thought here in his column. Give it a read.

Also, don’t miss the latest news. A new presentation switcher from Alfatron, a new online ordering system from AlarMax and a big hire from NDI. Enjoy!

FEATURED SURVEY

November 2024 Temperature Check Survey — Now OPEN!

Audio is of utmost importance in nearly all aspects of the AV industry. We talk a lot about how you can have a meeting with no video, but if you attempt to have one with no audio, you’re screwed. In what other areas is audio driving the AV industry? I’m particularly interested in your thoughts on audio for immersive experiences. Also, are there any challenges you face when designing and building audio solutions? (Glass walls in every modern designed conference room, for instance.)
