🤯🤯🤯 When I first saw the AVA Flat IR Emitter, it floored me. 🤯🤯🤯 You can even innovate on *that?* The whole Custom Install industry has used the same troublesome IR emitter hardware for years. AVA's product designers saw it as an innovation target, fixing a list of issues that everyone had just come to accept. It's great example for innovators: find the problem everyone else overlooks. (It could even be an Oblique Strategy card.) So my contribution to the cause...a new AVA OS how-to video: https://lnkd.in/denRTJQZ

One of the great things about working for the leading global AV integrator is that we get to deploy and manage a ton of technology! That experience helps us gain insight as to what "right looks like". This ebook consolidates what we have learned in a very elegant and consumable format. I learned some things too... #DISA #SPACEFORCE #ARMY #ACC https://lnkd.in/eut7aCGy

New Planar Luminate Ultra W Series Adds Wide Aspect Ratio to Portfolio of High Bright, Fine Pitch Outdoor LED Displays Leading-edge fine pixel pitch LED video wall display sets a new standard for close-up outdoor viewing with a 16:9 wide form factor, MicroLED technology, front-service ruggedization and pre-configured sizes Today, Planar introduced the Planar® Luminate™ Ultra W Series as the newest addition to the company’s portfolio of high bright, fine pixel pitch LED video wall display solutions for outdoor use. The leading-edge solution pairs the latest advancements in LED technology with a 16:9 wide aspect ratio, allowing users to create standard resolution in fine pitch outdoor LED and redefine close-up outdoor viewing of media-rich content. Delivering the finest outdoor pixel pitch in a 16:9 format, Planar Luminate Ultra W Series models incorporate MicroLED technology to produce enhanced black levels and high brightness even in direct sunlight. The new solution features models in 1.3, 1.6 and 2.0 millimeter pixel pitches, which can be configured to perfectly match Full HD and Ultra HD resolutions. With up to 3000-nit brightness, the fine pixel pitch LED video wall display supports viewing from as close as eight feet in outdoor applications spanning high-end residential, informational signage, retail, hospitality and sports and entertainment venues. “Demand for high bright, outdoor LED is here to stay and we’re excited to extend our support in this space with a new state-of-the-art, outdoor-rated fine pixel pitch LED display that not only looks great, but is also built to last and reduces deployment complexity,” said Robert Detwiler, senior director of product management and training at Planar. “The Planar Luminate Ultra W Series combines a 16:9 cabinet layout with narrow pixel pitches and high brightness to transform the presentation of up-close, high-quality video content. This enables more impactful visual experiences that are easier to facilitate in a wider range of use cases.” https://loom.ly/bzsnIt8 #finepitch #outdoorled #microled #leddisplay #walldisplay #pitch #technologyisawesome

Understanding TAA compliance is crucial for anyone involved in AV projects with federal agencies. Angela Greene, DSCE latest article breaks down what TAA compliance means for audio products and how can impact your purchasing decisions. If you're navigating government contracts or simply want to stay informed, this is a must-read. https://lnkd.in/eQ482_AA #ProAV #TAACompliance #AudioTech Exertis Almo

I often debate this topic, so I've decided to make it into a post. Thank you, Mark Doherty, for initiating this conversation. The consensus is that LEDs require 25% less electricity and generate 25% less heat to produce the same light intensity as other technologies (I'm using 25% to keep this discussion simple). As a result of the reduced heat, LEDs allow for an increase in PPFD, which is directly linked to the potential yield. For instance, while HID technology typically yields about 30g/sq. ft. of marketable flower, our Dragon Alpha II's clients, such as Planet 13 in Vegas and Flower Power in Ft. Collins, CO, are reporting yields exceeding 100g/sq. ft. of premium flower. They are utilizing over 60 watts/sq. ft. compared to the standard 40 w/sq.ft. for HID's. Moreover, HID bulbs, which are chemical-based and operate by running current through a mixture of gases and materials, have a spectrum that changes over time as the bulbs age. In contrast, LEDs provide a consistent spectrum and allow for electronic adjustments to the diodes, enabling control over various colored diodes to achieve the desired spectrum. Previously, with HIDs, we were limited to three spectrum options: HPS, MH, or 10K (Finishing Bulbs), using MH for vegetative growth and HPS for flowering. Now, LEDs offer dynamic spectrum adjustability, freeing cultivators from being confined to one or two spectrum choices and opening up many possibilities. For example, recent research on blueberries has shown that adding red and far-red spectrums to traditional spectrums can significantly impact the fruit's antioxidant and sugar content.  This applies to peppers, strawberries, and many other fruits as well. However, this is only the beginning. Institutions like CSU and UNC are conducting research on annuals, perennials, and food crops. Agricultural research companies are examining the effects of light spectrum on corn, soy, and potato crops, while experts like Bruce Bugbee are exploring the influence of spectrum on hemp and cannabis. Spectrum can be utilized to direct crop growth and alter morphological characteristics of plants, such as internodal length, leaf diameter, and root-to-shoot ratios. Additionally, dynamic spectrum can be employed to trigger cryptochrome/phytochrome responses, simulating a circadian rhythm-like effect in plants. Our clients' switch from HID to LED lighting has led to a 10% increase in THC levels, a doubling of yield (watt for watt), and enhanced cannabinoid/terpene production that HID lighting does not achieve. Those still using HIDs are producing half the amount their LED-using counterparts can, at higher costs and lower quality. The question remains: how will they continue to compete?

Understanding the different types of microphones is essential for any AV professional, and AVIXA recently published a great guide breaking it down: https://lnkd.in/epWS9e7B. From dynamic to condenser mics, each type serves a specific purpose based on the environment and the audio needs. Whether you're dealing with live sound, studio recording, or conferencing, knowing the differences can make all the difference in audio quality. #ProAV #AudioTech #Microphones #AVIXA
