What do schools and universities really want from their AV infrastructure?
For many education institutions, the answer is surprisingly simple: reliable technology that is easy to deploy, easy to maintain, and doesn't place additional demands on the network.

"People want a simple solution, a one-cable solution and something that doesn't really go into their existing network... They just want to hook up their laptop to one USB cable and they just want that to work. point-to-point gives them all of that... Because you can provide power to the endpoints, all over a single category cable, it's super simple to maintain, super simple to install, and it's just really predictable."
~ Joshua Kim, Regional Vertical Sales Manager at WyreStorm Technologies

"It's also budget friendly... You're not dealing with the cost of putting something on the network or going to IT and saying, 'I'm going to put this traffic on your network.'... There's benefit to being on the network, but there's also a lot of benefit to not being on the network and being on a dedicated cable."
~ Steve Bogart, Business Development & Product Manager at Atlona Technologies

Behind every thriving ecosystem is a shared foundation.
For over 15 years, the Alliance has united manufacturers, integrators, and installers around a common, robust connectivity standard - ensuring devices across the entire Pro AV ecosystem work together seamlessly.

That is the true power of a shared standard: not just connecting devices, but connecting an entire industry.
Happy 🌏💙

Image quality, latency, reliability, operational simplicity, and predictable performance all shape how a system performs in practice.

As professional AV systems take on higher-resolution video, advanced formats, interactive applications, and more connected devices, the conversation around transport should go beyond just how much bandwidth we need.

In the latest issue of Systems Integration Asia Magazine, Effi Goldstein, President of the Alliance, explores the considerations that matter when evaluating AV transport technologies and designing systems for real-world performance.

Plug and... plug and... plug and... Play!
USB-C promises simplicity. Delivering on that promise is where things can get complicated.

As USB-C becomes the backbone of Pro AV systems, manufacturers understand the importance of connectivity and standardization when designing products for a true plug-and-play experience.

"We've got to make sure that we're using the right quality suppliers... our products work best when used with other quality products. If we want to have happy customers, we've got to make sure that that signal chain is seamless."
~ Charlie Jones, Senior Partner Relations Manager at Sennheiser

"Some of the things that customers, developers or people can do is be aware of the standards... We have expectations this all works together, so just listening to the community and working to these standards will go a long way... Let's create the awareness. Good cables matter, good products matter."
~ Matt Krugman, General Manager & CTO at Acroname

Not every AV project has the same priorities.
Some demand uncompromised image quality and ultra-low latency. Others prioritize large-scale distribution and network flexibility.

So when the conversation turns to HDBaseT or AV-over-IP, maybe we're asking the wrong question.
Instead of asking which technology is "better", we should be asking: Which architecture is right for the application?

Our latest article, based on David Meyer's recent white paper, takes a closer look at the differences between the two approaches - and explores why HDBaseT can offer significant advantages for many professional AV deployments.

What does the state of the Pro AV industry look like from a manufacturer's perspective?

"For us, collaboration is a really important topic... customers have the need to deploy collaboration in every space they have... We know 80% of meetings have at least one remote attendee... that's a huge trend that we know will only accelerate... that's why we introduced the Collab Compute, in really close partnership with Microsoft Teams and Zoom, to continue to deliver on that."
~ Brad Hintze, EVP, Global Customer Success & Marketing at Crestron

"We look at the technological trends... AV/IT convergence, hybrid ecosystem importance, open by design because everything needs to work together... It's our responsibility to bring these products to the table that leverage the technology but still have a good customer experience and make it smooth. Otherwise it all falls apart."
~ Dorit Bitter, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Kramer audio-visual experiences

Kudos to Alliance member WyreStorm Technologies! 👏
We’re proud to be an enabler of the award-winning MX-1007-HYB - bringing greater flexibility to AV system design.

Not every AV signal in a project needs to take the same route. Some sources are local. Some need to travel further. Some spaces need the flexibility to expand later.

WyreStorm's MX-1007-HYB lets integrators combine HDMI, HDBaseT and AVoIP within one system, so the design can follow the building and the project requirements instead of being forced into one distribution method.

💡The benefit is simple: more freedom at design stage, less need to work around infrastructure limitations, and an easier path to expand the system when the project changes.
