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
