What does it take to deliver collaboration solutions that benefit manufacturers, integrators, IT teams, and end users alike?

"Integrated products increase reliability and robustness by reducing the number of cables, interfaces, and connections that can become potential failure points... Beyond enhancing performance, these embedded products also enable significant cost reduction. Fewer external components reduce hardware requirements, simplify installation, and lower ongoing maintenance costs. It's a win-win."

In the latest issue of AV Technology Magazine, Alliance President Effi Goldstein explores the industry's shift toward integrated collaboration solutions and the benefits this transition can bring across the collaboration ecosystem.

How are customer expectations reshaping the role of the AV integrator?

"If you haven't already, you have to make the pivot from complex to simple, scalable, standardized solutions that can be delivered consistently, because that's increasingly what customers want from service providers like us... It still amazes me, candidly, that folks haven't fully jumped all on board with the concept of recurring services... It's something that we have to embrace as service providers to be successful."
~ Tim Riek, CSO at AVI-SPL.

"'AV as a Service' has been kind of a buzzword over the last 5-10 years... We're starting to see demand for true as-a-service AV integration, where clients are buying outcomes and features and functionalities, and not necessarily a specific list of equipment and services."
~ Perry Freifeld, Vice President at Diversified.

🎃 It’s alive! IT’S ALIIIVE! ⚡🧟‍♂️

Meet 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞, built in the dark labs of AV installations from:
🔌 An HDMI cable that was too short to reach the screen
🖱️ A USB cable dragged in from the PC hiding in the closet
📡 A tangle of control wires
⚡ A power cord, because of course there was no outlet behind the TV
He’s scary, he’s messy, and he breaks down at the worst moment. 😱
But even monsters can find peace... 🕯️

HDBaseT replaces 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 with ONE cable, up to 100 meters.
Video, audio, USB, control, Ethernet and power, all stitched into one. 🪡
Rest in peace, 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. ⚰️

🦇 Tag the installer who’s battled this monster on site! 👇

Happy Halloween from HDBaseT Alliance! 🎃

What do schools and universities really want from their AV infrastructure?
For many education institutions, the answer is surprisingly simple: reliable technology that is easy to deploy, easy to maintain, and doesn't place additional demands on the network.

"People want a simple solution, a one-cable solution and something that doesn't really go into their existing network... They just want to hook up their laptop to one USB cable and they just want that to work. point-to-point gives them all of that... Because you can provide power to the endpoints, all over a single category cable, it's super simple to maintain, super simple to install, and it's just really predictable."
~ Joshua Kim, Regional Vertical Sales Manager at WyreStorm Technologies

"It's also budget friendly... You're not dealing with the cost of putting something on the network or going to IT and saying, 'I'm going to put this traffic on your network.'... There's benefit to being on the network, but there's also a lot of benefit to not being on the network and being on a dedicated cable."
~ Steve Bogart, Business Development & Product Manager at Atlona Technologies
