AV Systems
History meets entertainment
"Awesome!" "Incredible!" "Unbelievable!" "I've never seen anything like it in my life!"
These aren't exactly typical comments you'd expect from people who have just attended, of all places, a museum. Then again, these visitors didn't just attend a typical museum. Feb 23, 2006
It's all about image
People who make public presentations for a living understand that speech alone is not always sufficient for capturing the attention of an audience. Any teacher or corporate trainer can tell you the value of "show and tell" in helping others learn more about a subject or procedure. Dec 8, 2005
Get Real(is)
On the outside, the Canon Realis SX50 looks no different than your typical 9-pound projector. On the inside, however, is LCOS display technology that produces an image of stunning quality.
Sort of a "best of breed" combination of LCD and DLP technologies, LCOS helps the SX50 provide an extremely sharp image. Sep 23, 2005
An oasis of innovation
Things really are hotter in the desert. Preliminary figures from the International Communications Industries Association showed that InfoComm 2005 broke attendance records during last month’s show in Las Vegas, NV. Jul 21, 2005
Safe and Secure
According to a 2004 ICIA report, the professional AV market is currently producing revenues of $18.9 billion per year, with a projected growth of 9.6 percent annually over the next five years. Visual displays, such as flat panel LCDs and plasmas, are a large part of this growth. Jun 21, 2005
Investing in InfoComm
The International Communications Industries Association is bringing its annual InfoComm exhibition and conference to the Las Vegas Convention Center next month in Las Vegas, NV, where ICIA officials expect to once again break attendance figures. Conference sessions run June 4-10, with the show floor open June 8-10. Jun 1, 2005
Museum Media
For most of us, the word “museum” conjures up visions of fossils, artifacts, and antiquated push button displays that never seem to work properly. While that may have been the case for the museums we visited as kids, the same can’t be said about the museums of today, which are relying more than ever before on high tech AV equipment to provide visitors with a more contemporary perspective on history.

Talk to the projector
It’s an all-too-common scenario in government agencies and educational facilities: An official or faculty member is preparing to make a presentation, and when they try to turn the projector on, nothing happens. Mar 31, 2005
Looking good for the classroom
If you’re willing to spend only $999 on a projector, you’ve got plenty of choices (see the December issue) but not a lot of variety. If you’re willing to spend a little more, you can shop around for improved image quality and the features you want. Mar 4, 2005
