Here’s the Certificate of Complete for Microsoft Surface Hub Installation and Configuration. We had a few of these come through the shop. They are HEAVY! four man lift. But a real nice piece of tech once it’s hung.

Yes, this is the Occupational Health and Safety Administration training 30 hours. It required a full thirty hours – there was a timer and many quizzes. Now I know all about cranes, trenches, ladders and I-beams. Grab your PPE and get to work.

Completed on October 15, 2015, the online class is about software. “Toolbox” is a Crestron software package, which contains a multitude of applications that enable configuration and diagnostics of any Crestron device.

The AV world has moved away from analog connectivity and it’s not moving back. Digital video is your future! In addition to sourcing content in the digital domain, we must understand the variation in connectivity and performance. Add to this the demand for digital content protection and the realities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), coupled with the proliferation of digital mobile devices and commercial/consumer convergence, and it all means that the ability to accommodate emerging standards in enterprise environments has never been more important. If you’re wondering how long your aging VGA connections in your conference rooms will suffice, you’ll find the answers in this presentation. If you need to know if HDMI or DisplayPort is the right connectivity to design into your next system, then this is a class you need to take. If you want to know how to accommodate legacy DVI-D and simultaneously prepare for Thunderbolt, then this is a training you won’t want to miss. If you are looking for a competitive edge, and you’re just not sure what all these new acronyms mean for your and your project. then this will be time well spent. Join us for Understanding Digital Video Formats – From DVI-D to Thunderbolt and More and step into the future with confidence!
