The SDVoE Certified Developer Program features a basic qualification course consisting of seven modules followed by an exam. Once you successfully complete the training you’ll become a certified SDVoE Developer and obtain access to additional resources. Detailed online documentation and advanced training walk developers through the more complex features of the SDVoE API including multiview, video wall and more.
This webinare covered Assistive Listening and ADA & CBC Compliance. With one in five Americans having some form of hearing loss, the ADA requires each assembly area to have an active listening system. This areas are where audible communications are integral to the use o the space per the ADA. Signage and loops are also required.
Legrand AV hosted a course and product demostration at a local hotel where we when in depth with networking for AV over IP. It focused mostly on multicast and the tools/settings needed to analyse data.
This is a webinare about PTP in the context of Dante audio. It is a highly technical analysis of network timing synchronization. Dante is unicast but uses PTP which has multicast traffic for clocking.
Chris Lapp – Technical Solutions Architect from Cisco
Lucas Moreno – Technical Sales Engineer from Audinate
Julian Carro – Solution Sales Account Director from Audinate
Cisco and Audinate take a closer look at PTP and how it relates to Audio networking, and more specifically, Dante.
Agenda:
Media over IP review
NTP vs PTP
Sources and Applications of time
Dante and PTP
PTPv1 vs PTPv2
Best Mater Clock Algorithm
Inner workings of PTP
Time Sensitive Networks
Advanced PTP Concepts for Dante
PTP Profiles
QSC overview of the basics of audio engineering for houses of worship. Covering everything from properly rolling a cable and setting up a PA system, to building monitor mixes and running sound for your service.
This also included QSC TouchMix monitoring systems, K.2 loundspeakers, CP Series and line arrays.
SDVoE (Software Defined Video over Ethernet) is a 2017 topology that is competing with traditional matrix video switching and HDBaseT. Instead of switching video routes based on hardware transmitters and receivers, SDVoE uses software to encode the video stream over a standard 10G ethernet network using the API to configure and control the streams.
This certification is an introduction to SDVoE.
AVI-SPL moved me to the role of Project Engineer. The main responsibilities are to participate in the equipment procurement process and to develop CAD drawings. This position is familiar to me as I’ve been seeking the change since well before the pandemic started. This moves me away from the commission engineering to working at a desk and with the Design Engineering team.
My previous work in the field was always an adventure. My time developing good relationships with the clients helped AVI-SPL to win repeat business. We have a great team. Nonetheless, I will NOT be missing the 1.5 to 2 hour commute to Chicago every day (one way). Instead I’m filling that time with family, exercise and volunteering with the youth at my church. It’s a good move.
Zoom’s platform is hitting the AV industry by storm and I’m seeing lots of corporations integrate Zoom into their infrastructure. This comes in examples like the Logitech Tap and Crestron FLEX using an interface such as the Mercury or TSW-1060.
This certification was thorough and took several weeks to complete (since I predominately did it on the train while commuting to Chicago). This covered the Zoom story, meetings, hosting webinars through Zoom, account management, Room administration and integration with 3rd party systems such as Polycom and Microsoft. The integration portion covered protocols such as H.323 and SIP. It also provided procedures for activating licenses per the many platforms upon which Zoom can integrate.
This certification was first achieved December 2019.
This webinar focused on Unified Communication hardware that is USB based. Specifically, it allows multiple cameras to be connected to a single computer. This type is feature is needed in the market so Inogeni has filled that gap.
Biamp has released a series of new hardware targeting the new USB driven post-COVID19 world. Of interest is Biamp Launch which acoustically tunes the room to sound it’s best.
