Logitech will be at ISE 2024 in stand/booth 2M300, showing a plethora of UCC solutions that address every need — from the remote participants to in-person participants — equitably! To talk more about this, Logitech’s head of video collaboration alliances and go-to-market, Sudeep Trivedi, joined my latest videocast to drop some big news about something all-new that Logitech will debut at ISE. There will also be a new version of Logitech Project Ghost (and you know I can’t wait for that)!

My latest pre-ISE-2024 videocast features WyreStorm’s Voislav Zec, product director, and Franklyn Mogale, technical sales engineer, who used the opportunity to debut a new educationally focused product live on the show.

Yes, all that in one! In addition, the company will use ISE to launch a cloud-based management system (powered by Xyte), new AV-over-IP transmitters and receivers and a totally new 4K-capable wireless system.

Timing is everything and the co-founders of XTEN-AV, Vibhav Singh and Sahil Dhingra, couldn’t have timed a capital investment from ADI any better as they head to ISE 2024.

That’s not all. Watch this interview and make sure you go by stand/booth 3N300 at ISE, as there will be a handful of other new products — including a new ceiling mic array!

You may recall that a new company called PlexusAV debuted at ISE 2023 using the new IPMX AV-over-IP standard.

While other display companies are worried about specs, speeds and feeds, Epson will be at ISE 2024, focusing on the experience you can give clients using immersive projection technology. From projection mapping to events, Epson wants attendees to enter its stand/booth in Hall 3 (3J100) and understand how projection surrounds the senses and can transport your mind.

My latest pre-ISE 2024 videocast features Humly CEO Anders Karlsson to discuss one of the industry’s most aesthetically pleasing products, the Humly Booking Device.

Christie’s senior director of marketing, Enterprize, Steve Capling, and its director of product management, Joel St-Denis, sit down with me on my latest episode of Rants & rAVes to talk about how Christie’s ISE booth isn’t as product-focused as it is all about the experience and showing what its products, services and software can accomplish.

SpinetiX will use ISE 2024 to debut an all-new four-output media player designed to simplify video wall design and deployment. The new player includes four 4K60fps outputs that can break up or combine content across four displays that are configured in any physical layout — not just 2×2 or 1×4. And, it’s manageable via the ARYA cloud-based signage ecosystem, which, by the way, will officially be Q-SYS certified with a simple plug-in. (This makes ARYA part of the Q-SYS ecosystem, by the way!)

This time, I interview Christina De Bono, founder and president of Sustainability in AV (SAVe), about everything the organization is doing to help meet the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our industry can be quite wasteful, and from programs that help give your tech a second life to encouraging manufacturers to package their products more sustainably, SAVe has done some great work in the past year. However, next year is set to be even bigger. Watch this to learn about everything SAVe has planned, including its first Global Conference. Check it out!

In this Steph Takeover episode of Rants & rAVes, I interview Tammy Fuqua and Christina Cruzeiro about what it is to be a woman in our industry (news flash — it’s tough). During COVID-19, the percentage of women in the AV workforce actually declined!

Watch this episode to see what else the Women’s Council has in store for 2024!

Brawn Consulting founder Alan Brawn joined me on for his the latest episode of Rants & rAVes to talk about an article he recently wrote in which he cited some interesting customer buying shifts that have been documented by research firms like Gartner, McKinsey and Harvard Business Review.

Well, watch this insightful 20-minute interview that, if you are in sales, will likely change your perspective on your own role.

And, of course, all of it is available at Exertis Almo. Give this episode a watch!

It’s no secret that we’re living in a time during which multiple industries seem to be converging with ProAV. Just a few years ago, we were fighting the AV-is-or-isn’t-IT fight, and now we’re seeing security (physical and cyber) mix with ProAV, too. During this special Steph takeover episode of Rants & rAVes, I interview Candice Aragon of PSA about PSA University. From career pathing to subsidized certifications, PSA University offers a unique setup for security and ProAV integrators alike. Learn more here and consider becoming a PSA member so you have access!

P.S. We know how important security is, so that’s why we’ve developed an entire newsletter dedicated to it! You can subscribe right here.

In the most anticipated panel of 2023, a panel of AV, UCC and Digital Signage experts will join me to explore what of 2023 will affect 2024 and beyond. The panel of experts will review key trends, newly debuted technologies and discuss how to prepare for the upcoming year, as many of these experts have insights into what’s to come in ProAV, digital signage and UCC. To prep us for the webinar, Yealink’s senior sales engineer, Bill Newman, joined me on this episode of Rants & rAVes to talk about one of the products that debuted in 2023 that will steer 2024: the MVC S90.

I had NETGEAR’s Alex Pendleton join me on today’s videocast. Alex is one of 22 NETGEAR team members whose job it is to help AV integration firms design systems via AV-over-IP. It’s a free service, literally dubbed NETGEAR’s ProAV Design Service, and all you have to do to take advantage of it is email them at proAVDesign@netgear.com. As Alex tells me, that starts a chain of events that concludes with a system entirely designed using whomever’s AV-over-IP encoders and decoders you prefer and delivered to you as a finished CAD file of your choosing. So, I wanted to see what a day in the life of an AV-over-IP systems designer is like — this is an interview worth watching as Alex starts his day at 4 a.m. Yes, 4 a.m. Watch!

On the latest episode of my Rants & rAVes videocast, CresTV host Neil Fluester joined to talk with me about the perils of traveling while maintaining a weekly streaming video show.

Both Avocor and Rise Vision joined me on today’s videocast as a platform to launch a new product category — an all-in-one digital signage product that includes the displays (in two sizes), an integrated media player, a CMS and creative signage templates. But, it is interesting that this offering can be sold CapEx or OpEx as a finished product or as a Hardware-as-a-Service model — the integrator can choose which they prefer. This is the official launch of the new Avocor R Series — via Rants and rAVes — so watch Avocor’s Scott Hix and Rise Vision’s CEO, Brian Loosbrock, explain the benefits of it.

My latest pre-Zoomtopia videocast features Yealink’s senior sales engineer, Regend Soh, and Zoom’s Lance Ford, Zoom Room educator.

If you haven’t heard of Xilica, you’re not alone. But there’s no time like the present to get acquainted — if you need a stand-alone PoE audio DSP, the company has one. (It’s also modular, so you pick the input port!) Need to distribute audio anywhere affordably and across the network? Xilica has that too.

Watch this as Eric also hints at future Logitech product offerings and a way to help integrate the Rally Bar even more seamlessly into an environment.

Videri might be the AV market’s only true end-to-end signage company, as it makes every part of the digital signage ecosystem — from creation software to displays — and it’s all on the cloud. Don’t believe me? Watch this as Videri’s platform includes the signage displays (wireless, too), the CMS (including a content creation platform), device management and more. Once again, the entire thing is connected, managed and driven from the cloud. My latest Rants & rAVes episode includes Videri’s new CRO, Stephen Jenkins (who joined the company after spending 11 years at Diversified selling signage), and its head of channel, Jackie Cooper, to talk through the platform and show how well the system performs in real time.

It’s right about the time that LG became LG — from Lucky Goldstar — to differentiating itself from every other display company in the world. It all started with a curved LCD panel and exploded from there. Now LG leads in OLED, Transparent OLED, Touch OLED and all-in-one LED, impacting nearly every display technology globally. Today, Exertis Almo’s own Todd Heberlein talks about the LG differentiation and why he thinks LG should be your first display choice in designing systems.

Planar never disappoints at CEDIA Expo — the company consistently has one of the most popular booths on the show floor. Now that CEDIA Expo is co-located with Commercial Integrator Expo, Planar’s booth (1501) will be packed with people interested in all sorts of high-end residential and even “resimercial” applications. One of the most exciting new LEDs will be in the form of the 3500-nit, 1.2mm outdoor LED as part of Planar’s Luminate Ultra Series displays. That, along with a new 1.35:1 (aka: 21:9) LCD, its new fine-pitch LEDs in the DirectLight Series, and its all-in-one in the UltraRes L Series, will make for an amazing show. Let Planar’s own Jeremy Sternhagen tell you even more during this videocast. Watch!

As J.C explains in this recording, there’s never been a better time to get into offering renewable energy systems than now as — in addition to having its own professional services team at Savant design the system for you — the U.S. Government is subsidizing this stuff as high as 30%.

Hal Truax, VP of sales and marketing for Hall Technologies, joins me on this Rants & rAVes takeover episode to talk about everything the company accomplished at InfoComm 2023. It was a big show for Hall; it debuted its Hall Vision line of interactive flat panels and introduced a brand new ecosystem called Nexus Connect. Both are a big deal — Hall now makes pretty much every product that can go into a corporate space or classroom. And with Nexus Connect, those products are guaranteed and engineered to work together seamlessly. But even if you don’t build a space exclusively with Hall Technologies, there are still opportunities for many other manufacturers to become part of Nexus Connect. Check out this episode!

From cameras to LEDs and everything in between, Sony has it and has likely raised an entire generation of players via its PlayStation console gaming systems. Sony’s Rich Ventura joins me to talk about esports and Sony’s sponsorship of his “The State of eSports Webinar and Panel” — you can register here on the Exertis Almo site. The webinar will take place Tuesday, July 18, at 2 p.m. EDT!

According to Zoom, the average size of a Zoom Room suits 4.2 people. We’re not sure what the 0.2 person is like or if they are a remote user or a data point, but one thing we are sure of is that a 27-person Zoom Room is highly unusual. So, how does it work and how’d it get built? AVI-SPL’s Steven Mason and Dave Lambe joined this episode of Rants & rAVes to show us and take us on the customer journey used to sell and integrate it. This is the ultimate Zoom Room, and it came together thanks to VR-based room virtualization for both the client and the designer’s benefit. Watch!
