Recorded May 23, 2025 In this episode, we're joined by the team from Liberty to talk about brand new features and capabilities of their CX Unify platform. Beyond simple online/offline status, this cloud hosted and platform-agnostic monitoring and remediation tool is brimming with AI-integration and more real-time information than you've ever seen. Check it out at InfoComm for a live demo! We also discuss Aurora Multimedia's new line of IPBaseT encoders and decoders that apparently deploy like HDBaseT but behave like AVoIP. We're going to check it out in Orlando. Tune in for a fun and informative episode that promises to keep you entertained while providing practical advice for making the most of your next AV trade show experience.

Recorded November 8, 2024 (Is it just me or are these AI-generated summaries getting worse?) Join us to discuss the pros and cons of AV over IP encoders and the sunk cost fallacy of repurposing outdated AV equipment. We debate the practicality of multi-input encoders, the allure of HDBaseT cameras, and the inevitable obsolescence of technology. Are these AV solutions worth the investment, or is it time to move on? The conversation meanders into the realm of aspect ratios, the future of ultra-wide displays, and the unexpected role of goggles in the AV landscape. Plus, we explore the potential of Gain Sharing POE and the pitfalls of overbuilt systems.

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. It's a truly hybrid switcher designed to integrate into any classroom, and includes a built-in matrix that can manage HDMI, HDBaseT (3.0), USB-C and AV-over-IP signals simultaneously. 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. WyreStorm is in stand/booth 3A900 at ISE so make sure stop by!

This month's topic is software AV and we couldn't decide between software AVoIP content, software AV control, or software management platforms, so we'll cover all three! We start with an article about a semiconductor manufacturer widening software (and hardware) support for SMPTE 2110, which gets us one step closer to HDBaseT-style interoperability… in theory. Then, it's a whirlwind tour of software AV content, control, applications, and more. Why are we using legacy thinking when building our networks? Will we ever fully trust the PC to be a true AV endpoint? After all a huge amount of current content originates from or is delivered to the classroom PC, so why can't we (reliably) leverage that for multi-protocol high bandwidth content?

Recorded August 12, 2022 We fire up the AVSF time machine and travel back to 2010… to talk about HDBaseT. It's all in good fun, but it's a weird article to see in 2022. Then, what's your threshold for standardization? That is, are you looking to broaden you AV equipment portfolio or just waiting out the on-going equipment delays? What happens if that wait becomes six, eight, 12, 16 months or more? Jamie is always game to try new gear, Chris is re-engineering systems from the ground up, Justin is stuck between a rock and a hard place, Larry is concerned about staff support, and Marc is staying the course. Finally, how are we responding to the increasing commoditization of AV integration? In addition to structured cable contractors, there are new service providers who want to help you offload some of your repetitive work (and make money, of course). It's an interesting concept… Article discussed: https://www.avnetwork.com/features/how-hdbaset-simplifies-av-installs

This month we dive deep into the world of AVoIP. It's a thing. The cost-delta is over point-to-point transmission almost nil, the technologies and products are maturing, and it opens an entire new world of finger pointing and shirking responsibility! We first discussed AVoIP last October on Off the Rails Episode 4, so please give that a listen for more on how we're leveraging it at our institutions. Justin is still living in the wild, wild west of networking, Jamie is firing NDI down dark fiber, Marc is transporting all his production cameras over the campus LAN, Larry is building an AVoIP eSports arena, and Chris is swapping HDBaseT for IP in new general classroom designs because why not? While we all have different approaches, one item we all agree on is to work closely with your networking team. Some of us got lucky and just happened to be part of the Network/Telecom/Infrastructure teams and others had to go make friends to ensure their VLANs and ports were configured correctly. If you're not a first-name basis with your networking colleagues, you will be soon, so be proactive and get to know them before you start firing traffic across the network. We also do a quick Lightning Round about our preferred managed network switches and we're again all over the map. Cisco, Extreme, Luxul, Netgear, there's room for everyone! And even after all that, there's more to come, so stay tuned for the inevitable AVoIP part 3!

In an AV world sometimes dominated by HDBaseT, Video over IP, UHD and 4K, it is easy to get caught up in the opportunities of video. However there is a special talent needed to do audio right and that presents new opportunities for integrators with audio chops.
On this week's episode of HomeTech: After taking a week off to let Jason enjoy some time with his newborn son we are back in action to tackle a busy week in home technology news. Conversations include: Is Sonos finally going to release an API? The great 'technologist debate' continues. Providing solutions versus providing products. A conversation about HDBaseT, 4K and the future of video distribution in general. EchoStar drops Sage like a hot potato. The search for more competition in the handheld remote market.

Up until now the longest HDMI cable run the HT Guys were able to successfully transmit video across was 50 feet. Those cables were pretty thick and hard to snake through walls and attics. We've tried longer cables but had no luck beyond 50 feet. Thanks to Accell there is a product that will allow you to extend your HDMI up to about 330 feet. The UltraCat HD HDMI extender uses HDBaseT technology to send video over Cat5e/6 Ethernet cables. You can even send IR signals over the same cable. The device has an MSRP of $500 and is available today.
