  • How Green is your AV system?

    Attended a great TileZone conference last week, an impressive international event for the museums and leisure attractions market. Blair Parkin of Visual Acuity and blogger of this parish gave a great presentation on sustainability, with a humorous but well-aimed sideswipe at ‘greenwash’. Visual Acuity...

  • Houston, we have a problem

    Spent the weekend in Houston talking to folks supplying the oil and gas industry with technology of various sorts. A gloominess has broken out here amongst several of the major AV vendors and integrators. The oil and gas world, despite lower oil prices continues to procure integrated systems. Particularly...

  • Competition not confusion

    My inbox and the blogosphere have been filled with product launch and other information emanating from Infocomm. AMX holds the record for sending me the most mail. Extron comes a close second with Sony trailing in third. Sorry folks - I hit delete most of the time. Consistent news coming from those that...

  • Back from InfoComm 2009

    Spent the jet-lagged early morning today writing my reports about my trip, pondering what it all meant. The show was the by now usual mix for me: InfoComm board of directors' meetings and assorted duties; ISE board meeting; meeting suppliers and clients; European Council and Standards committee meetings;...

  • Land of the free

    America. You know the place. Land of the free. Well I suspect a number of you are heading off to Orlando to attend Infocomm. I will not be joining you all this year as I just got back from the US. I wish you all safe travels. You will be seeing the latest wave of light emitting diodes conquering of every...

  • Pro AV - a lagging economic indicator?

    I think I've had my own personal recession indicator. I got shingles. Although judging by some of the gory photos I found online, I got away lightly. The joke was that the final straw was trying to clear the decks in time for my holiday. Normally four of us go off to climb mountains, go fishing,...

  • Letter from America - 2

    On reflection, I’d say that there were two main threads from the InfoComm 100 event that applied with particular aptness to UK and the rest of Europe: IT and qualifications/standards. In this respect it was like a re-run of earlier AV Magazine conferences (was it five or six years ago at a Heathrow hotel...

  • Letter from America

    Am in US for a sequence of InfoComm-related duties. I say ‘duties' because I have to act heroic and martyred before I leave. There was little acting this time as this one's a long trip. It's hard balancing work, family and volunteer duties. If you want something done, ask a busy man, they...

  • Awards judging (Peter Cooke: "I could have been a Judge, but I never had the Latin for the judgin'...")

    This is my busiest year (he hoped forlornly) for InfoComm duties. Good news: mostly it's conference calls in the evening, so can still put in full days at Paradigm. Bad news: I go to bed knackered, yet too wired to sleep. Did a conference call meeting as a judge for InfoComm's Women in AV and...
