This is the one webinar you DO NOT want to miss. Gary Kayye’s annual Krystal Ball series, now in its 20th year, is one of the most-read news articles in AV every year. Why? Well, he’s usually right – like 90+ percent of the time. For example, he predicted the impact that Bluetooth would have […]
A lot of people are lying to you about AV-over-IP. It’s not easy. It’s not lossless compression. And it’s not going to happen overnight. But it IS the future of AV signal distribution. There is currently NO adopted standard for sending AV signals (video, audio, control and power) over the network — there are multiple ways of […]
The idea of AV-as-a-Service first emerged a few years ago — mostly as a platform for controlling AV gear via the so-called cloud. But even if AV integrators wanted to offer AVaaS in 2016, it wouldn’t have been “real” AVaaS; it would have just been financing of AV installs. Today we have the technology to […]

This webinar is designed to be the perfect “state of the audio industry” session. AV includes audio. The V in “AV” gets all the glitz and glamour, but the A, ironically, is more profitable. While video is an art, audio is a science — and that science basically grew this industry. AV started with A. […]
The digital signage market is only a decade old but it’s already been anointed “the future of advertising”. Just a few years ago, nearly $180 Billion was spent worldwide on TV ads. But, as fewer people are watching what’s known as “linear TV,” advertising dollars are shifting into social media, digital media and digital signage. […]

Nearly everyone out there is misleading you about AV-over-IP. It’s not easy, it’s not lossless compression and it’s not going to happen overnight. But, it IS the future of AV signal distribution.

For almost a decade, industry pundits have been predicting the death of the projector – yet, sales keep growing. And, in the biggest irony of all, the projector has invaded the the one-and-only market deemed as a display-only segment: digital signage. That’s right, projectors are now being used to make giant signs, too – at […]
No technology will impact the future of the meeting room or classroom like 4K.
