Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday. You know what that means; it’s time to hear from me again. In our latest ProAV newsletter, I bring you a blog from Mark Coxon.

But, Mark argues, it’s more important than it used to be, as we expect AI transcriptions and meeting notes all to be very accurate. Read more here.
Also, don’t miss the latest headlines from PPDS, Marshall Electronics, EPOS, Shure and more.
Happy Reading! |

Organizations primarily associated 4K workflows with broadcast studios, flagship venues, and large-scale live productions where higher resolution justified additional infrastructure costs and operational complexity. Although 4K cameras and displays became increasingly available across the market, many production environments continued operating mostly in HD because the surrounding ecosystem remained fragmented and difficult to manage. |
