WAVEcast
Episode 12: WAVE Trifecta |
On this WAVEcast, we interview Westbury
National’s Larissa Wallace. She is the Triple Crown of Women in AV — female, young and a systems integration technician! It is rare you will find a woman of ANY age who wires racks for a living and that is just one of the reasons why you should definitely hear her story and advice on how our industry needs to encourage more females to follow in her footsteps. And, as always, this is a special and touching story about how the men in AV are so critical and influential to the success of the WAVE! |

6: Paper Isn’t the Devil, but it is Kind of a
Problem |
This year I discovered one of those
products that is a true solution to a
major issue. I found an incredible collateral/material
distribution system that can address the
major issue of paper consumption and have
a chat with the co-founder, Joshua Shannon.
I also throw down this month’s challenge
that revolves around paper measurement
and reduction.
Here are resources to help you
complete the monthly challenge:
Oracle
Sustainability Report
Paper Usage Calculators:
ClimateFriendly
Tripletpundit
Event
Paper Calculator:
Remember, keep doing the monthly challenge.
I will be awarding one lucky winner a
super awesome prize (although the prize
is TBD) at the end of the year for completing
the challenges! |

85: Christie’s NAB Plans Call for Unique
Theater Experience and a 4K Demo Too |
I
had a chance to sit down with Christie’s
Director of Experiential Marketing Steve
Capling last week and he told me about
a very cool theater the company will be
building inside its NAB booth next month
in Vegas. Ever since the debut of The
Hobbit, where they released the movie
in both a traditional 24 fps (frames per
second) copy as well as a 48 fps version
for some digital cinema theaters, Hollywood’s
been buzzing with talk of using higher
frame rates to cut down on so-called film
jitter and motion artifacts. But, this
can’t be done unless the projection systems
allow for it. Christie, one of three DCI-compliant
manufacturers of digital cinema projectors,
makes projectors for digital cinemas that
are capable of handling refresh rates
as high as 120 Hertz.
At NAB, they’ll demo that capability
by showing movie footage in all sorts
of frame rates. In addition, they’ll have
a 4K demo as well as show some new products
in the U.S. for the first time. Watch
this video so you’ll be ready for what
Christie’s going to launch at NAB on April
8-11 in Las Vegas: |

For
all you REGULAR listeners of rAVe Radio out there,
hopefully you enjoyed another opinion-packed issue!
For
those of you NEW to rAVe, you just read how we
are — we are 100 percent opinionated. We not
only report the news and new product stories of
the ProAV and HomeAV industries, but we stuff
the articles full of our opinions. That may include
(but is not limited to) whether or not the product
is even worth looking at, challenging the manufacturers
on their specifications, calling a marketing-spec
bluff and suggesting ways integrators market their
products better. But, one thing is for sure, we
are NOT a trade publication that gets paid for
running editorial or product stories. Traditional
trade publications get paid to run product stories
— that's why you see what you see in most
of the pubs out there. We are different: we run
what we want to run and NO ONE is going to pay
us to write or say anything good (or bad).
To
send me feedback, don't reply to this newsletter.
Instead, write directly to me at [email protected]
or for editorial ideas, Editor-in-Chief Sara Abrons
at [email protected].
A
little about me: I graduated from Journalism School
at the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill (where I am adjunct faculty). I've been
in the AV industry since 1987 where I started
with Extron and eventually moved to AMX. So, I
guess I am an industry veteran (although I don't
think I am that old). I have been an opinionated
columnist for a number of industry publications
and in the late 1990s I started the widely read
KNews eNewsletter (the first in the AV market)
and also created the model for and was co-founder
of AV Avenue, which is now known as InfoComm IQ.
rAVe [Publications] has been around since 2003,
when we launched our original newsletter, rAVe
ProAV Edition.
Everything
we publish is Opt-in — we spam NO ONE! rAVe ProAV
Edition is our flagship ePublication with what
we believe is a reach of virtually everyone in
the ProAV market. rAVe HomeAV Edition, co-published
with CEDIA and launched in February 2004, is,
by far, the largest ePub in the HomeAV market.
We added rAVe Rental [and Staging] in November
2007, rAVe ED [Education] in May 2008 and then
rAVe DS [Digital Signage] in January 2009. We
added rAVe GHGav [Green, Healthcare & Government
AV] in August 2010 and rAVe HOW [House of Worship]
in July 2013. rAVe Radio, our podcasts, were launched
in 2013. You can subscribe to any of those publication
or see ALL our archives by going to: https://www.ravepubs.com
