If you’re in residential integration, it’s hard to get a quick read on how technical your homeowner is. In this week’s Selling AV, I share a little trick I used to use to steer my technology conversations.

Gary was joined by IDK’s CEO, Ryohei Iwasaki, and CIO, Chris Miller, on today’s podcast to talk about their InfoComm presence. IDK was one off two dozen or so companies showing new AV-over-IP solutions. In addition, IDK had their entire commercial AV product line. You can see it all here: http://idkav.com/

In addition to one of the coolest tech-demos on the show floor with ERO (Extended Ruggedness and Optics), Leyard and Planar launched the new DirectLight X LED, the 4K Clarity Matrix G3 and a new Versalight Series of LED Walls. We shot videos on all these, here. ERO is a new micro-LED coming from Leyard and you’ll have to wait to see […]

Greg Dolan, COO at Xytech Systems, speaks with me about control solutions for the media and broadcast industry, and how Xytech has a multitude of solutions, and some now that are a module-based/pick-and-choose as you go (Media Pulse). We discuss future roadmaps, solutions, their incredible product, Media Pulse, and more; and all this can be […]

SiliconCore may be best known for being the first LED company to show CoB (Chip-on-Board) technology. And, according to Jim Wickenhiser, their Senior Vice President, Strategic Initiatives, they won’t ship it until they perfect it. How significant is this to the future of LED, watch this videocast to see how small the form-factor is for CoB. But, their […]

InfoComm 2018 is behind us and we’re back to work, trying to close out the last half of the year. This week, find out how integrators can use InfoComm to boost sales over the next few months.

Aurora’s founder, Paul Harris, joined Gary on this post-InfoComm 2018 podcast to talk AV-over-IP standards — which one he would recommend for each application in ProAV — as well as their new ope-standard, Javascript-based ReAX control platform. We shot seven videos at the Aurora booth at InfoComm and you can see them all here.

Interestingly enough, one of the most popular products at InfoComm this year was in the back left corner of Epson’s booth — it’s called the LightScene and it’s basically a 3LCD laser projector built into an Accent Track Lighting system. But, certainly the most significant launch for them had to be the native 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution Pro […]

Put to bed every rumor you’ve hard about the InfoComm show leaving Vegas, leaving Orlando, stopping the rotation between the two cities and everything else you may have heard, in the rumor mill, as this post-InfoComm videocast with AVIXA‘s CEO, David Labuskes, answers all these questions and more. AVIXA’s first, ever InfoComm show set a Vegas attendance record, […]

Gary was joined by Kramer CEO, Clint Hoffman, today to talk all about InfoComm. Gary and Clint talked about their booth traffic which was focused on three specific areas — Kramer Network, their wireless collaboration system VIA and a new 6×2 4K60 switcher that’s a hybrid digital and HDBaseT. Gary also asked Clint about when he thought AV-over-IP would be more than their traditional routing […]

Over the past year, I’ve enjoyed developing a relationship with Laurent Masia, NETGEAR‘s Global Senior Product Line Manager for Switches. Why? Well, there’s no doubt that the future of our market is via the network. We’re already running a lot AV control, most of our audio and all of VTC’ing over the network. Next comes Video — […]

Gary was joined on his podcast today with Sharp’s Product Marketing Manager, Gary Bailer, to talk all about InfoCom and what they debuted. Their Microsoft partnership on a new line of collaboration displays was one of two hot-topics in and around the Sharp booth – the other was 8K. Listen to this podcast with Gary and Gary […]

Derek Badala, Director of sales at Sythax Inc (RME), speaks with me about interfaces, converters, cards, Madi solutions, pre-amps, accessories, and more! We also talk about a few new things; some of which may or may not have been announced at Avixa’s Infocomm 2018, but there’s only one way you can find out, and it’s […]

 LG’s VP of Business Development, Dan Smith, joined me today on my daily podcast to talk about their InfoComm booth. Greeting attendees into the booth was a set of transparent OLEDs and giant transparent LEDs — using their new transparent LED film. But, the breadth of their product line was super-impressive and they set a […]
