AVIXA Seminars / 26 September / Room 3 / 10:30 am – 12:00 pm

AV/IT Security Needs Analysis

Traditionally Audiovisual (AV) and Presentation technologies have been isolated from the Enterprise IT network. With the rise of unified communications, cloud applications, enterprise management, and as AV technology reaches further into the organization, AV installations can no longer be isolated from the enterprise network.

As AV systems are being migrated onto enterprise data networks, user organizations expect the AV system to maintain a security posture in alignment with their security goals. In many cases these requirements may be more than a case of business best practices, but may be a matter of regulatory compliance. Security governance typically requires that any device attached to the network has the relevant security features and configuration.

With this presentation, a detailed whitepaper and templates are provided (via download) which will allow the students to adopt the provided analysis framework into their own business practices.

It’s Time for the Meeting Room Revolution

Executive Summary: Much of the talk in the last year about video conferencing environments has been about huddle rooms. That’s hardly surprising as there’s presently so much growth in that space. However full sized meeting rooms are incredibly important for many organisations, and a market ripe for disruption. Problem: The form factor of full-sized meeting rooms has not changed much for 20 years. The devices have of course improved dramatically, but they are almost always dedicated, specialist devices that people have to learn how to use. Herein lies a problem. Many employees use these devices only occasionally as a result they forget how. Couple that with the opportunity to be shown up in front of colleagues for not knowing how to operate the technology, and you end up with a culture that avoids using them at all, or relies on IT support to make the bigger conferences work. Neither of these scenarios is conducive to mass adoption. The growt h rates (or lack thereof) for dedicated room systems appear to bare that out. As such, sales of traditional video conferencing systems continue to decline. At the same time, the rise of huddle rooms within organizations, combined with video-friendly millennials in the workplace has driven an increase in demand for video collaboration. Video calling from our desktops, laptops, tablets and mobile devices, has become as simple as a touch of the finger or a click of the mouse. And yet when we enter these large conference rooms or huddle rooms, the video system is either too complex to use, or there’s no video at all. Considering that business video more or less started in the conference room, it’s rather mind-boggling that it’s now the last place we want to go to connect virtually because it’s the most cumbersome. Solution: The good news is that something new and interesting is emerging. Simpler solutions for conference rooms are on the rise. Complex, legacy systems are being replaced by conference room add-on devices. These devces have taken up the "Conference Room World" by storm and now have a seperate product category all to themselves, courtesy Frost & Sullivan. Some companies have been trying to solve the one-touch join problem using elaborate touch panels. A touch panel enables a customized user interface, so if desired the only button on the panel might be as simple as join the meeting. It might not surprise you to know that’s a more common request than first imagined. Couple these new-generation of touch panels with the modern 70-inch plus displays available for the video call, and it becomes a transformative experience. Neither a desktop PC client on a massive screen, nor one engineers idea of an “intuitive user interface” which very few users feels is either intuitive, nor friendly. An integrated tablet, able to produce the full high-definition images, with a familiar user interface could well be the new success cr iteria for meeting rooms. After all what’s not to like about a familiar tablet experience, with a familiar user interface, running at the full quality of a dedicated old school meeting room? We would argue that perhaps we’re seeing the emergence of something utterly new. A video collaboration experience that actually works the way users want it to.

Fundamentals of Acoustics

Awareness of how the ambient environment of a space affects the quality and propagation of sound — how, for instance, reflective surfaces, such as walls and floors, create waves of echoes that smear speech intelligibility and musical timbre — has been slow to take root, even in dedicated performance venues. But that’s been changing in recent years, driven by the complexity of sound in modern media and content.

Like no other, the field of acoustics is rife with myth, misinformation and marketing tactics that belies the true science and legacy of the trade. Acousticians and acoustical experts have backgrounds rooted in math and science, and spend years studying and honing their craft. Today, acousticians and acoustical experts work on venues as diverse as classrooms, houses of worship, performance centers, courtrooms, broadcast and recording studios.

This three-hour course provides an introduction to the principles of acoustics and their applications and its importance. Fundamental topics include the generation, transmission, and reception of acoustic waves.

Platinum Partner Presentation by EPSON : Choosing the Right Projector

How does the AV Designer choose the right projector ? With plenty of choice and even more marketing noise, is there a logical approach to cut through the clutter and base this crucial decision on a handful of vital factors? What are these factors and their underlying science that lead to designing flawless images? The talk will address these questions and aims to share the answers from a design and functional perspective with AV designers. Image size and its relationship to the room dimensions, image brightness and its dependence on image size and ambient light, color light output as a key metric of image brightness, Key ratios – aspect, zoom and throw, precedence of optical adjustments over digital, desirability of geometric corrections, the content + interface + cable + cost quartet, cost versus quality and what makes a good screen are some of the topics covered in this talk.

It’s Time for the Meeting Room Revolution

Much of the talk in the last year about video conferencing environments has been about huddle rooms. That’s hardly surprising as there’s presently so much growth in that space. However full sized meeting rooms are incredibly important for many organisations, and a market ripe for disruption.

The good news is that something new and interesting is emerging. Simpler solutions for conference rooms are on the rise. Complex, legacy systems are being replaced by conference room add-on devices. These devices have taken up the "Conference Room World" by storm and now have a separate product category all to themselves, courtesy Frost & Sullivan.

We would argue that perhaps we’re seeing the emergence of something utterly new. A video collaboration experience that actually works the way users want it to.

Acoustics in Auditorium Design

Success of any architectural design or beauty of interior aesthetics is nothing but how well it serves the purpose for which it is built for. Unfortunately, in many of the cases the purpose is missing. And especially when it comes to auditoriums, seminar halls or classrooms, it’s about acoustics. As written by Michael Barron: “Several auditoria exist around the world where a major world-class architect has wanted to create a great public monument, but the architecture gets in the way of an effective functioning of auditorium.

A Modern Approach to Software Based Conferencing Systems

Meeting room systems used in corporate, government, educational, and hotel facilities are going through a major shift. Both the technology and the way these rooms are used is rapidly evolving. Until recently, much of the systems in use were hardware based. Now, with the advent of digital technology and proliferation of networked systems, there is a fundamental change towards software based systems. Audio, control, video, conferencing, and other technologies are integrated into a single, software based, networked system.

The desire has been to simplify the effort required by the end users to hold meetings and conferences. This means less interaction with the technology and more intuitive interfaces. The ideal solution is one in which the meeting attendees are able to enter the room, and with minimal effort and time start holding their meeting. This makes the meeting itself much more effective.

This session will explore how this is achieved today by use of commercially available solutions and will explain how a software based solution enables this.
