HDMI Problems!
We are pleased to share and promote Corporate Tech Decision’s free download of “The Challenges of Interfacing HDMI in the World of Professional AV.” At first glance, using HDMI as a professional AV display interface would appear to be ill-advised, as its copy protection overlay was never designed with multi-point video and audio signal distribution in mind.

Use Video Conferencing to Keep Your Company Connected
How we communicate in the business world is changing. Businesses increasingly have more remote workers. Whether working remote full-time, part-time or just traveling for business, these workers rely heavily on their own mobile devices to stay connected to their teams, as well as to participate in meetings.

That’s because visuals add a component to storytelling that text cannot: speed. According to researched complied by 3M, the corporation behind Post-it Notes, visuals are processed 60,000 times faster than text, which means you can paint a picture for your audience much faster with an actual picture.
Here are three visual tools you can use to connect with your audience even faster: Read more »

Our loyal readers and customers may remember that I joined Audio Visual Bend several months ago to coordinate the team’s social media efforts. Since I have a background in higher education and corporate training, I am very familiar with the many uses and applications of audio visual equipment. However, I am still learning how to properly use AV industry terminology and how to best communicate the many uses of AV technology to AV Bend’s customers.
This week, I am diving into the phrase, “Audio Visual Design.” Audio Visual Bend offers design services including Acoustics, Audio-Visual Systems, Security and CC/TV Systems, Access Control Systems, and Project Management. So, the question I am asking myself to answer is this: what are each of these offerings and why do you need them? Read more »
