The Future of AV is Software; That’s Why We Gave Valarea a Best of InfoComm Award
THIS IS A PROMOTED POST
If you haven’t heard of Valarea yet, you will likely, soon. The future of AV is software — whether you like it or not. You likely already know this. Remember when videoconferencing required tens of thousands of dollars of camera gear and a “codec?” What do we use now? Software. Zoom, Teams, Meet — it’s all software.
And, what about the control system? Remember when the only way to control a room required a $15,000 touch panel? How do we do it now? Lots of software that can be controlled via an iPad, if we so choose.
Dante audio? Software.
AV-over-IP — the future of routing audio and video sources like HDMI, DisplayPort and the like? All software. SDVoE stands for Software Defined Video over Ethernet.
The future of collaboration — no matter whether or not it happens inside a room, from home or on the road — will all be software.
So, when we saw this on the InfoComm 2022 show floor, we knew it was the clear winner of the Best Collaboration Software Product category — just watch this:
