If we look at the pandemic- most companies kept sales, let go of engineering / tech... ability to ramp up challenged - people moved on.
Top down priorities not always spot on.

If you don't celebrate people on a regular basis, the culture has failed. Actions speak louder than words.

After issues on a show, a company moved away from plastic plug strips - those were the days. #avtweeps #AVinTheAM

For #avtweeps "heavy lifting" proper training and practicing failovers.
Troubleshooting should be second nature. If not, create a sandbox to practice

Yes 👇 I was going to say power distribution, UPS, power conditioning.
So true, the internet special might not be best choice.
Also, when UPS says replace my batteries, please do so - had a CER power down one day. Wasn't pretty

A Good Quality Power Conditioner: It embodies AV in many ways... when it works, nobody cares. BUT, the moment it doesn't work - or worse, you don't have one when you need one - BOOM!

"Geeee Chuck... perhaps we should have purchased the good power conditioner vs. the $35 one!"

This ☝️ and anything available to the consumer making #avtweeps look easy. With #liveevents 👉 "I can do that in my home theater"
Not same as ballroom

The hands-on integration team: Wiring peeps. Those that do the dirty work, make, racks look amazing. Without properly fabricated racks and cable runs - all the fancy programs and systems are worthless

Design upfront or fix as needed?

Manufacturers will always make latest, greatest? Otherwise, what is new?
Back to earlier- a lot of production 1080p, sub 4k, looks fine to eye. In home theater, you can see difference, not in venue.
Same w computer- some need latest, others work w older tech?

For those living in not so great state of NJ, our leadership is behind the curve with power generation. Closing power plants to be green, while admirable, left us purchasing power in open market.
What can we #avtweeps do?
I think OLED use the lowest in traditional display?

At #nabshow saw volumes w LED, projection...
Great for training, expanding groups beyond current room.
All depends on content
#avtweeps #AVinTheAM

BarryG @barryjgrossman.bsky.social · Aug 24

More better? Working on show now...
First told everything would be 4K / 12G.
Reviewing LED canvases, talking w video team...
The cameras can do 4K, switcher 1080p, LED well under 4K.
They can record 4K at cameras if needed.
Facts matter
16K? If they have 💰, infrastructure, sure

Aside from "functional AV" - classrooms, meeting rooms, etc... Every other system IS ONLY successful if it tells story, has a "good book", has great message.
Experiential? Needs to be wrapped around story / message.
I've seen ideas crushed since the wow factor was not backed by a message
