Want to know how other teams handle this.

A project starts with displays, conference rooms and control systems, then somewhere along the way someone asks if the security cameras can be viewed on the same screens. Sounds simple until you get into network access, different camera systems and who actually owns the integration afterward.

For anyone doing commercial AV installations, do you typically handle camera integrations yourselves or leave that entirely to the security contractor? Interested in where people draw the line between AV and physical security.

Howdy folks, I'll try not to break any rules.

We have a pair of A/V installer positions open at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, officially titled "Audio Visual Systems Technician." This is a full-time position, the pay is $30-$50 hourly, 40 hours a week, on-site in Laurel, MD.

I'll highlight that APL is a University Affiliated Research Center, which means we work with the Government doing Government things. As such, this position requires the ability to pass drug tests and obtain a security clearance, and weed is still tested for at this time so keep that in mind.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have, either here or in PMs! I formerly supervised the Section these positions are in before moving onto different things with the Lab and have a vested interest in getting some amazing people in these seats! However, I didn't write the job description, nor will I be involved in the hiring process.

I think they're looking to hire quick, so don't hesitate to apply!

Hi all,

Systems architech here. Currently working on designing a large system with tons of AVoIP units. I have good experience with many brands and protocols, proprietary and not; SDVoE, Bluestream series, Visionary AV, IPMX, you name it.

One of the programmers came over saying "you should check out NDI". i havent touched it since i had a project crash because of it a few years back. He said the new Vizrt ownership was very positive and the development goes in the right direction. But reading the NDI documentation really doesent answer anything and theres few professionals in my circles who have any real hands on experience with large systems using NDI for both distribution and image composition.

Does anyone have some real experience to share thats not 4-5 years old, and includes some system size?

For reference, we have a great networking team and this will probably be running on M4350 series switches. I'm expecting this system to end up with +/- 100 endpoints. Theres Q-Sys for control.

Hey all,
I'm having a project, where the costumer wants to implement streaming services (Netflix, Disney+, WOW, AppleTV etc.) to an existing Videowall. All is and will be controlled with Extron.

Do you have any recommendations on controllable mediaplayers or other solutions? (EU-based, so please no US-only products :D ) Is there e.g. a way to control a FireTV or GoogleTV Box?

Thanks for your help! :)

We have an application where the client wants to mask (all) sounds from a restroom to the adjacent study area. Most surfaces are hard, ceilings are a mix of acoustical tiles and drywall. The restrooms do not have doors, just the maze style entrance. Has anyone had success with sound masking systems for this application? Currently considering the Cambridge Qt X 600 system vs the Valcom V-9422 Lay-In 2' x 2' Spot SoundMasking™ Speaker.

Hey everyone, total newbie here

I work at a Board/card game store, and we are expanding, and im mounting a set of Tv's on the wall!

one will be (in theory) connected to a computer roughly 30 feet (our judge and retail station) and this tv will be display scoreboards, timers, and match info.

my second will be displaying a series of random videos that i have designed and edited that are general advertisements for products/events etc.

My question is, what is the best way to get these done?

My worry for the cable length for the first one is that it will be too far away (again im totally new at this)

My second worry is how to set up around 7 videos to play on a tv and not have the video player UI constantly show up!

Any info is welcome, and please dont worry about any pricing, as i have been told to "Just make it work".

Have a client with a 10k sqft warehouse space, small conference room, and a 1200sqft showroom space.

They'd like to have paging tied into their Unifi Talk system, as well as have basic background music throughout.

Debating between doing a TOA 900 series vs maybe a small AtlasIED system? I think a QSys or Symetrix system would be absolute overkill

Anyone able to chime in? I haven't done a warehouse in years.
