More» Quote of the Day "The quickest way to create a support nightmare in education is to create a system, or user interface, that is too difficult to operate. I'll admit to having designed a system based on what technology I thought was best, and how I thought it should operate, only to wind up with a very nice system that had an incredibly low utilization. Ultimately, the use case determines the system components, not the other way around. If your use case requires two inputs and a display, there's no need to have a control interface with 25 buttons on the first page. As the industry evolves, we must design classrooms with minimal user intervention required to operate the system, and work diligently so classroom hardware and user interfaces are as familiar as possible." —Mike Brandes, CTS Today's AV Job • Control Systems Programmer, Visual Sound, Broomall, PA Top Tech News from the Web • InfoComm to host regional events for end-users and tech decision makers • How OS X became Apple's sexiest product • The healing properties of digital signage in hospitals Additional Resources • AV Technology July/August 2014 Edition • AV Technology June 2014 Edition • Secrets of Great AV Installations in Higher Ed • The Tech Manager's Guide to InfoComm 2014 • AV Technology May 2014 Edition • The Technology Manager's Guide to Connectivity Solutions • Showcase of Campus Digital Signage • The User's Guide to PTZ Cameras • The Technology Manager's Guide to Outdoor AV • The Technology Manager's Guide to Learning Spaces • BYOD & Group Collaboration White Paper • Special Report on Video Technology • Master Class on IP Video Technology: Free & On-Demand Master Class with Dr. Phil Hippensteel • Whitepaper & Infographic: Cloud-Based, Smart Digital Signage • 10 Remedies for Everyday Video Problems Andrew Simmons @andrewLsimmons Very honored to be featured on the cover @AVTechnologyMag coming out Monday! @CrestronHQ @Vaddio_Hailey @CiscoCollab

More » Today's Review G-Technology G-DOCK ev Thunderbolt RAID/2-bay USB 3.0 Hard Drive By Russ Long, PAR Senior Contributor G-Technology's G-DOCK ev is one of the most innovative hard drive configurations I've seen in a long time. The G-DOCK ev is a high-performance 2-drive Thunderbolt RAID enclosure that incorporates two 2.5-inch portable hard drives that slide into two shuttered bays. An eject button enables simple drive removal and when removed, they become high-speed bus-powered USB 3.0 drives. So you end up with the best of both worlds, Thunderbolt RAID performance in the studio and bus-powered USB 3.0 portability when you are on the go. The ev Plus drives are faster and are in a thicker enclosure but they still work in the same slot due to a unique dual-door design. More » No subscription to Pro Audio Review?

Today's Blog NJ Raises Ruckus Over NYC Pier 97 Shows By Kelleigh Welch Across the Hudson River, New Jersey residents are getting a free spot to catch some of the summer's hottest concerts taking place on Manhattan's Pier 97—a situation that for many residents is becoming an issue. 2014 marks the inaugural year for the Pier 97 venue, located at 57th Street on the west side of Manhattan. This amphitheater was designed to project noise away from Manhattan, after residents near the former concert venue at Pier 26 complained of noise issues. However, while the new venue solves the noise complaints in Manhattan, it is projecting the sound over to New Jersey, disturbing residents up until at least 10 p.m. on performance nights. “You get all of this concentrated sound just going right across the Hudson,” acoustic engineer Al Fierstein told CBS New York.
