    “AI-ready” isn’t a feature, it’s a test of whether your room works in the first place.

    For An Industry About Integration, Tech Should Work Together! | AVWeek

    “We have way too many standards and too many proprietary systems for our own good.” That’s the uncomfortable truth behind where IPMX stands right now. It promises interoperability… but in a fragmented AV landscape, is that enough to actually simplify deployments? Meanwhile, displays have quietly evolved into networked infrastructure, not just screens. The video version of this podcast can be found here. Host Tim Albright and his industry expert guests bring you another must-watch AVWeek episode covering critical topics from the commercial AV world, including where IPMX truly stands in solving interoperability challenges and how commercial displays are reshaping enterprise and higher-ed environments.

    Audio is Do Or Die For Meetings | AVWeek 762

    We keep upgrading the tech but are we fixing the experience? That’s the real question behind today’s “broken” meeting rooms and maybe it starts with one simple shift: audio first, not video first. If people can’t hear clearly, nothing else matters. At the same time, third-party plugins promise efficiency but at what cost to network control and security? The video version of this podcast can be found here. Host Tim Albright and his panel of AV industry experts bring you another essential AVWeek episode, tackling why meeting rooms still frustrate users, why an audio-led approach is critical to better collaboration, and how IT managers should evaluate third-party plugin ecosystems without compromising performance or security.
