AV Week - MP3 Edition

Chris Pannone from J. Patrick & Associates join Tim Albright to talk about your path in the AV industry. If you are looking to make a change, this is a good, quick primer on what you should be looking for in your next position in AV.

Part One of our annual InfoComm Show production. This is where we gather those in attendance at the show and ask what was the best and worst of InfoComm 2014. Listen as exhibitors talk about the record number of qualified leads, and integrators discuss the latest technology.

Kramer has bought half of WOW Vision. What is the thinking behind this move? We talk about Apple angling for Home Automation. Plus, when will we have holographic projectors?

On this episode we gathered some of the best AV reporters to preview InfoComm 2014. What are they excited about, what are their hidden gems, and how do they report on it. Plus, since we had them, we asked what they thought about the Harman / AMX deal.
