rAVe ProAV Edition

Hi everyone! What a year this has been. From AI everything to a new frontier of dvLED to video bars galore, what’s a trend that you think has really set the scene for this year? I think for me and the news that I’ve read from manufacturers and more, it’s been the year that AI catapulted itself into being a very important part of nearly all of our jobs. But will it stay that way or are we simply throwing things at the wall to see what sticks? Only time will tell and I will be very interested to read Kayye’s Krystal Ball for 2025, as will you.

Thanks for reading. Talk soon. You have one more of these this year from me before 2025!

The digital signage landscape is evolving rapidly, with Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) driving significant growth. This surge is fueled by cloud-based, networked solutions that have democratized access to digital signage technology. While these solutions offer a simple plug-and-play approach, SMBs face a dilemma with media players (small devices that connect to screens to display digital content): choose consumer-grade devices that lower upfront costs but lack reliability and security, or opt for more expensive, complex industrial solutions.
