3M ago1:14:43

1:14:43

Recorded August 9, 2024 Chris is confused about what day it is so he has to intro the show twice. Then once we’ve figure that out, we’re joined by Robert Durbin and Travis Cawthorne from Kramer AV to talk about their recent acquisition of ZeeVee.

3M ago31:34

31:34

Recorded (and streamed live) on July 26, 2024 No topic provided again this month, so we decided to look at the numbers for display technologies. Where does it make sense to consider LCDs vs. projectors vs. LEDs? Chris even built a spreadsheet of rough numbers because he’s a nerd that way. Are LEDs becoming cheap enough to replace projectors? Is any…

3M ago1:13:42

1:13:42

Recorded July 19, 2024 It’s the summer doldrums, so instead of news, Marc shares the AV experiences from his summer vacation to the House of Mouse.

Recorded July 12, 2024 We’re bookending the show with SMPTE 2110 stories, so we start with discussion of Cisco hosting a webinar on Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

Recorded June 14, 2024 Larry, Chris, and Justin review their thoughts from Day 2 and what they’re looking for during Day 3.

5M ago22:22

22:22

Recorded June 12, 2024 Even after a few false starts and a recalcitrant multi-channel recorder, we did manage to squeeze out an early morning episode before the show floor opened.

1:06:01

Recorded May 24, 2024 MIT has invented revolutionary electrified material for sound masking and absorption… aka, curtains.

We also cover who qualifies and why and ho…

AV SuperFriends: Off the Rails - You Can't Handle the Business College 1:10:17

5M ago1:10:17

1:10:17

Recorded May 10, 2024 After pushing for higher and higher resolutions, some broadcasters are giving up and returning to the comfort of 1080P. Besides, if most people are watching said broadcasts on a 5” phone stream over mobile data, then what’s the point of 4K or 8K? Then we revisit a presentation we gave recently at NWMET on the Top 10 Things to …

6M ago27:57

27:57

Recorded April 16, 2024 This month’s topic is “Commencement” and we don’t want to talk about that.

1:13:54

Recorded April 26, 2024 The AV industry has a bit of a drinking problem and step one is admitting it. Thanks to friends of the show Brittany DiCesare and Steve Greenblatt for their editorial in Commercial Integrator.

Recorded (and broadcast live) on March 28, 2024 We’re still at NWMET and hosting a morning fireside chat show!

58:46

Recorded (and broadcast live) on March 25, 2024 For the first time since last summer, (almost) all of the AV SuperFriends were together in one place at NWMET 2024 in Corvallis, Oregon, so we figured we might as well record a show. And yes, we’re really in a bowling alley. Earlier that day, we hosted a town hall open forum at Biamp HQ and we had so …

AV SuperFriends: Off the Rails - Take the classroom and cut off the class 1:06:04

6M ago1:06:04

1:06:04

Recorded April 17, 2024 Rather than a single news story, we cover a handful of product announcements from (and prior to) NAB.

AV SuperFriends: On Topic - Spring Cleansing 26:31

7M ago26:31

26:31

Recorded March 15, 2024 It’s time to get out the mops and brooms, clear out those storage closets, gather up all your old Class A amplifiers, analog cameras, and CRT monitors and throw them in the nearest waterway. If anyone asks, you have a permit and you’re just returning those parts to nature. Besides, it’s all biodegradable if you wait long eno…

AV SuperFriends: Off the Rails - I do double triple button panels 49:48

7M ago49:48

49:48

Recorded March 22, 2024 It’s not really news as much as a product announcement that almost hits the mark. We really like this neat little camera on paper but then… limited I/O and guaranteed bloated software. Let’s call it a swing and a miss. Then we return to how we tier our AV systems and, honestly, it’s getting messy enough that we probably need…

AV SuperFriends: Off the Rails - IBGMP 1:04:12

8M ago1:04:12

1:04:12

Recorded March 8, 2024 More and more AVoIP systems are being sold because more and more AVoIP systems are getting specified into new projects. It’s an amazing coincidence! We cover an article from Commercial Integrator about how commercial integrators see AVoIP. Then in part 27 of our 213 part series on how we organize our AV systems into buckets, …

AV SuperFriends: On Topic - The Plan was Flawless 29:03

8M ago29:03

29:03

Recorded (and streamed live) on February 16, 2016 This month’s topic is “rethinking spaces” so we decided to discuss projects that we’ve completed recently that we wish we’d approached differently. Marc hates microphones, Chris hates complexity, Justin hates how the AV services are marketed on campus, Jamie hates treating rooms as clones of one ano…

AV SuperFriends: Off the Rails - We can go lower 1:15:25

8M ago1:15:25

1:15:25

Recorded February 23, 2024 While planning the episode, we couldn’t decide between a news story on VR or a news story on holograms, so we decided to cover them both. Hint: they’re not real Then we continue our discussion of how we each stratify and organize the different types of systems we commonly deploy on our campuses. It’s just as messy as you’…

9M ago1:15:05

1:15:05

Recorded February 9, 2024 Did y’all know ISE was just last week? That means we’re obligated to talk about it at least one more time for the news, so we have an article that identifies three trends from ISE that we’ll see again at InfoComm. Two of them are nothingburgers, but the third… so close, but yet so far. Then we dive deep into how we structu…

AV SuperFriends: On Topic - BYOD is an AV Rodent 27:32

9M ago27:32

27:32

Recorded January 19, 2024 Our topic for February is “things just won’t go away” or “things that keep coming back year after year” like Groundhog Day. We’ve each selected items that we all hope might see their shadow and disappear for a while. BYOD, VR, terrible marketing, wireless sharing, and more. We’re also testing some format changes to On Topi…

9M ago19:31

19:31

Recorded Feb 02, 2024 LIVE from ISE! Well, not really, but given some of the other coverage from Barcelona, it’s still more timely and more in depth from 5,000 miles away. This is our take on the news from ISE this week. In true AVSF style, this discussion is spicy, yet reasonable, as we review the new products, the coverage, the people, and the sh…

50:42

Recorded January 12, 2024 Remember when refrigerators would just sit there in the kitchen and keep food cold and we really, really wanted them to tell us what to cook? No? Well, too bad! We cover a story from CES about an AI-powered, excuse me, “AI” powered fridge that wants to scan your tomatoes! Then, we delve into the concept of basing every AV …

1:25:40

Recorded January 5, 2024 It’s a new year and we’re starting 2024 by looking backward! We return to a previous topic: working with integrators. On Off the Rails 78, we debated Marc’s question about how to ensure we get delivered what we wanted from AV integrators… and that conversation prompted quite the debate on Twitter, led by friend of the show,…

Recorded December 20, 2023 (Part 2 of 2) It’s our third annual prediction show! And I predict we’ll do it again next year. We first review our predictions from last year to see just how well we did.

1:07:37

Recorded December 8, 2023 Today’s news is a summary of the Geometry of Learning research project from friend of the show, Dr. Jon Dorbolo, about teaching in round classrooms. Done well, these are fantastic learning spaces with untold opportunity. Done poorly, they are technology-driven failures. Those two outcomes are not mutually exclusive. Then, …

Recorded November 15, 2023 It’s December, so it’s time for a holiday wishlist! Each of us shares the AV device or service that we’d really like under the Christmas tree.

11M ago54:55

54:55

Recorded December 1, 2023 Our news comes from the Chronicle of Higher Education who now recognizes that teaching via lecture and teaching via active learning are not mutually exclusive nor diametrically opposed. Shocker! It’s possible to effectively teach via lecture in an active learning classroom and engage students in active learning in a lectur…

AV SuperFriends: Off the Rails - How about that bad idea? 1:08:52

11M ago1:08:52

1:08:52

Recorded November 17, 2023 Our news article this week is really more of an opinion piece by a friend of the show and all around good guy, Steve Greenblatt of Control Concepts. He opines that maybe, just maybe, contractors shouldn’t be chasing only profit margins, but providing solutions that customers will really appreciate. Blasphemy! Then we’re j…

12M ago1:06:58

1:06:58

Recorded November 10, 2023 We start with an article written by a commercial integrator about commercial integrators in Commercial Integrator. While the points the raise are valid (for some), it raises the question as to who is the intended audience. Then we’re joined by Johanna Pierson from the Wentworth Institute of Technology to talk about how sm…
