Awesome to chat with you yesterday, Britt!

We’re doing our CI and CE Pro Top New Technology (TNT) Awards presentation on Wednesday afternoon at the HDBaseT booth. Does that seem appropriate to add? If so, I will share details. If not, no worries!

As LED technology hits more accessible price points, it’ll be interesting to see how projection positions itself to compete. Apart from projection mapping, which dazzles, I usually hear about projection as “the most cost-effective way, per square inch, to display very large images.”

For fans of “Do The Right Thing,” Bluetooth speakers could never replace a boombox for Radio Raheem! 😂

Welcome! I haven’t officially squished my X account, but it’s fully abandoned. Hoping many more make the leap!

For me, 2025 is off to a running start! So far, no rest for the weary — but maybe this weekend!

RIP to Rob Sheeley and condolences to his loved ones and former colleagues.

I used to enjoy going to that show! My most recent, if I recall, was NAB 2019.

Doesn’t seem that long ago!

Come now! Don’t be a Javert….

Hahaha—not for the guy who thinks The Dave Matthews Band borders on too hard rock! 😂

There are lots of us in AV! For me, anything beyond Barry Manilow, Air Supply, The Temptations, Whitney Houston and Les Miz showtimes is ear-splitting hard rock.

When I first heard it, I knew it was a quote I would break out someday! 😂

Spatial audio & immersive audio can be important tools in the resurgent experience economy. I don’t see much use in integrators’ bread-and-butter projects. However, w/ pandemic-related adaptive expenditure over, it may be wise for integrators to lean into experience economy opportunities.

I found comments regarding AI from Pierre Racz, founder of Genetec, provocative. He said, at this point, AI doesn’t stand for “artificial intelligence” but, rather, “absolute ignorance.” It’s IA that he’s interested in—intelligent automation. Humans, he said, must be in the driver’s seat.

I was just on a demo call this week where the manufacturer was touting the benefits of predictable, reliable preset camera positions vs. auto-tracking cameras that might “know” to track the presenter but not “know” what the presenter is actually trying to show/highlight.

The change in compensation part is critical but often overlooked. When your best salespeople have been accustomed to being paid based on high-dollar capital projects, it can pose a challenge: Build a new incentive structure for them, or hire additional people dedicated to RMR-based sales.
