SDVoE Certification
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.
Zoom Rooms Certified
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.
