    AV SuperFriends: Perspectives from InfoComm 2024 Episode 06 - Talk dirty to us!

    Recorded June 14, 2024
    Larry, Justin, and Chris visit with Zach Snook from Biamp (while sitting on the most comfortable chairs on the show floor) to discuss their newest announcements and product updates, including the long-awaited analog input on the VBC conferencing bars. Jamie will be disappointed at no AVB connectivity for expansion, so he’ll have to be satisfied with LAN control and monitoring… for now!

    AV SuperFriends: Perspectives from InfoComm 2024 Episode 05 - Travel Ladders

    Recorded June 14, 2024
    Larry, Chris, and Justin review their thoughts from Day 2 and what they’re looking for during Day 3. There’s been more LED displays (including lots of all-in-one units) at far more reasonable prices, lots of USB-C (could it actually be an option for wide deployments in the future?), and some dude on the very top of a ladder.

    AV SuperFriends: Perspectives from InfoComm 2024 Episode 04 - French Cleat

    Recorded June 13, 2024
    (Note: Our super duper awesome recorder died right in the middle of this episode, so it cuts off abruptly; see the episode artwork. Unrelated: anyone want to buy a multichannel recorder?)
    Larry, Justin, and Chris invade the Computer Comforts booth to talk classroom furniture, the development process, partnerships with university customers, and even some new ideas that Chris totally invented on the spot. We also welcome by a motley crew of fellow higher ed tech managers from the adjacent HETMA booth to talk about their experiences at InfoComm thus far.
    Thanks again to Chris Kolavo, Vince Barletta, and Chad Asay at Computer Comforts for letting us drag cables all over their booth!

    AV SuperFriends: Perspectives from InfoComm 2024 Episode 03 - The Mister Mister Mister

    Recorded June 13, 2024
    Larry, Justin, and Chris share their thoughts about Day 1 at InfoComm and trends they’re seeing at the show. AI is MIA, there’s lots of iterative software improvements to existing hardware, and be sure to stop by the Panasonic booth to see the mist display. We also discuss our approaches to automatic cameras and hybrid seminar spaces.

    AV SuperFriends: Perspectives from InfoComm 2024 Episode 02 - From the top of the booth with Q-SYS

    Recorded June 12, 2024
    Justin, Larry, and Chris are joined by Mike Brandes, David Maksa, and Jonathan Moore from Q-SYS for an unorthodox and honest discussion of product ecosystems, working with partner manufacturers, computes vs. computeRs, adding software features years after shipping hardware, NDI emulation mode, and darn near everything in between.

    Thanks for sitting in with us!

    AV SuperFriends: Perspectives from InfoComm 2024 Episode 01 - Why doesn't this stuff work?

    Recorded June 12, 2024
    Even after a few false starts and a recalcitrant multi-channel recorder, we did manage to squeeze out an early morning episode before the show floor opened. Justin, Larry, and Chris talk high level trends and solutions we expect to see this week. We’re expecting better AI-enabled automatic cameras, cloud-connected everything, and room systems that we can actually integrate in a traditional teaching environment.
