iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

On the road to #InfoComm in search of amazing #AVTweeps and awesome new technology offerings. Don’t think today’s flight will be as exciting as last Fridays’ where I flew in the B29 DOC as a birthday present.

Some do however the ones that want minimized down time and white glove support are hiring in house staff, either on their own or from their trusted contractor. #AVinTheAM #AVTweeps

Many see AV-as-a-Service as a “easy button “ that allows users to quickly migrate operational problems if they were to occur. Reoccurring revenue streams allow companies to staff support operations that prevent and mitigate operational difficulties. #Avtweeps #AVinTheAM

This photo of me in a vintage AMX shirt on a beach in Costa Rica explains my current situation and mood. I am, ready to switch. Let me know if I can help your team provide excellent audiovisual experiences. #AVTweeps #AVinTheAM

That is disappointing, that show used to be where the real innovations were announced. Did see an article about IPMX advancing as part of the show.

The silos still exist making the interoperability between manufacturers a little bit difficult when there is a problem. The circular finger pointing does nothing to solve problems, yet it is the most common to address problems between “approved” manufacturers. #AVinTheAM

Broadcast television has embraced remote workflow and cloud based streaming technologies. Bonded cellular networks have made this possible for remote content acquisition. It’s going to take a while for this technology to become more popular in AV / corporate production environments. #AVinTheAM

Allan Rea CTS-D @allanrea.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

It’s nice to see more broadcast standards in AV like it used to be. We have gone the wrong direction with following the non standard based consumer electronics industry. #AVinTheAM

For smaller spaces yes they should be plug and play, however for larger facilities needs a traditional AV design approach with a mixture of select UC devices is still appropriate. #AVinTheAM

As the old timers used to say “good audio without video is radio, but video without good audio is essentially being off air.” #AVinTheAM

Allan Rea CTS-D @allanrea.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

A mixture of both are essential for allowing people access to information and growth opportunities. NAB and InfoComm are large shows, and have their place. Having smaller shows like NAB NYC and Rep shows alllows for more interaction and learning. #AVInTheAM

Allan Rea CTS-D @allanrea.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

My first NAB was in 1995, and saw the first glimpse of ATSC broadcast of HDTV shown by NHK. Used to be the place to align your crystal ball, as the show attracted leading / bleeding edge technologies.

No matter what, a hardware device is only as good as the software / firmware that supports it's operation. It is the digital equitant to "fixing it in the mix" as you do not always get the quality results you were expecting. #AVTweeps #ProAV #AVinTheAM #ExceptionalExperences

Your quote “The commoditization of endpoint hardware, where the importance lies less in who makes the devices and more in the firmware powering them.” Is so true, yet manufacturers have taken the wrong (Microsoft like ) approach to firmware.

The biggest challenge is not realizing the vision or expectations, but limitations of equipment to achieve the desired outcome. #AVintheAM

Seeing the use of AR/VR in medical research and development tasks. AI is something that you’re not exactly ready to trust with patient care.

Think we used to call this leading edge technology. Leading edge technology attracts early adopters to a new type of experience.

Bring it on sir. Welcome to Blue sky.

Will see him on Monday, and will ask why.

Allan Rea CTS-D @allanrea.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

My goal of coming to Blue Sky is to rid my social media feed of negative political discourse. At some point will shut down my Twitter and Facebook presence. Hopefully this platform will be as fruitful as LinkedIn.

That is an amazing shot. Happy to have found you here.

Looking forward to your blog @ravepubs.bsky.social So far so good, trying to have a politics free experience here since the other platforms (other than LinkedIn) have far too much toxic political dribble.

Hi Frank, Made the switch to Bluesky at your recommendation. Hope all is going well for you. Not sure how many social media platforms the market can support / or I can keep up with. #AVTweeps #AVintheAV
