Displayed Image Size: How Big is Big Enough?
A standards development task group is studying this very question and the answer may actually surprise you. In this recorded webinar, Greg Jeffreys, CEO of Paradigm AV, and Dick Tollberg, CTS®-D, of AVI-SPL, update viewers on the latest findings and discuss the science behind image-size requirements. Watch now.
Visual Principles and the Display Environment
When it comes to video, you can’t just hang a screen on a wall and expect viewers to get the picture. The visual principles of AV design are about more than technology. Here are four things to consider when determining the perfect display environment for your next project.
Meet the Innovations Showcase Winner
InfoComm 2015 marked the debut of the Innovations Showcase, where first-time exhibitors displayed new solutions — and attendees voted for their favorites. The votes have been tallied and Collaboration Squared has won the inaugural competition for its Ubiety cross-platform collaboration solution. The company receives $10,000 and exhibit space at InfoComm 2016 in Las Vegas. Read the news.
