rAVe ProAV Edition

Happy Wednesday, #AVtweeps. In our latest ProAV newsletter, Gary Kayye’s blog is all about why he believes display companies should buy media server companies. There are a few reasons he lists for this, but I think a lot of it boils down to it making sense that the display partners with what controls its content — essentially, what makes it look so cool. What do you think? Read the full piece here.


Also don’t miss the latest news from Sennheiser, Sound Control Technologies, Jetbuilt, Navori Labs, Kinly and more.


Happy Reading!
