PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT >>Today’s InfoComm
10:00 - 11:00 Are We REALLY OK with 4K? Room D203 Speaker: Neta Lempert, VP digital business development, Kramer Electronics
As 4K is becoming less of a buzzword and more a familiar term, not only to AV professionals but also to the general population, it is becoming clear that we need to start preparing for the day when 4K installations are actually happening. What is meant by the term 4K and what does it take to have a fully functional, properly installed 4K system? This presentation will review the 4K x 2K video signal which was fully defined by the HDMI1.4 standard. We will discuss who is already using 4K systems and how these systems are installed, who will start using such systems in the near future and what are the challenges lying ahead.
10:00 - 11:00 BYOT – Practical Approaches to Systems Operability in Collaborative Active Learning Environments Room D301 Speaker: Peter Dugas, senior design engineer & principal, TSAV
Operability challenges related to students using their own devices in learning environments and ways to overcome them. An examination and discussion of BYOT in classrooms and specific challenges with BYOT in active learning spaces. Active learning spaces include TEAL and Scale-Up classrooms which facilitate problem based and project based learning and allow for collaboration and content sharing between students and instructors. An objective analysis of the current hardware and software solutions on the market to meet the challenges associated with BYOT in collaborative learning environments.
10:00 - 11:00 Networking Technology Essentials for AV Professionals Room D204 Speaker: Bill Thomas, staff instructor, InfoComm International
Pick up some knowledge which is needed by every AV professional working across the increasingly blurred boundaries of IT networking and AV, with content taken from InfoComm’s Networking Technology course. Topics covered will include how data is encoded and transported, common hardware types and their applications, hardware and network addressing, network security, and some common troubleshooting tools and tips. This is real world knowledge for those just starting off with networking, and consolidation for those who are working with it but need some revision or reinforcement of the fundamentals.
11:30 - 12:30 BIM is on Your Doorstep Now! What You Need to Do to Stay in the Game Room D204 Speaker: Jon Melchin, director, Architectural Business Development, FSR, Inc
This presentation will feature a look into Building Information Modeling - a 3D design, modeling and simulation technology that has changed the way that architecture is practiced. Building Information Modeling, or BIM, is more than just a 3D representation of the physical (products) and functional characteristics of a structure; it is a shared knowledge resource. The “I” in BIM, involves

everybody in the design process, including architects, interiors people, engineers, EC’s, GC’s, the facility owner, and vendors, such as audiovisual consultants and AV systems integrators. BIM invites tight design discussions and for AV
professionals, this presents a tremendous opportunity to get involved on the ground level of a project. This will be discussed, as well as other benefits of BIM to AV integration. BIM facilitates clash detection, including space and system-routing conflicts, clear cable pathways, and camera and projector sightlines that are visible within the 3D model. These factors, along with opportunities for AV manufacturers to get involved with BIM object creation will be covered in the presentation. In the final portion of the presentation, a brief case study will be discussed pertaining to the construction of a BIM- designed project.
11:30 - 12:30
Designing Learning Spaces – AV Technology Essentials for Active Learning Environments Room D301 Speaker: Duncan Peberdy, learning spaces specialist, Dalen Ltd (Top-Tec)
Without effective AV technology, active learning environments will struggle to provide students with the engaging and challenging academic experience that these recent pedagogical developments have been developed to facilitate. AV technologists, Learning Spaces Managers and University Pro Vice-Chancellors responsible for Learning and Teaching Strategies need to have more awareness of what can be achieved from new learning spaces, and how distributed AV solutions are an integral part of the requirement.
11:30 - 12:30 Ten Best Practices for Digital System Design Room D203 Speaker: Justin Kennington, product line manager, Crestron’s DigitalMedia
The “Digital Sunrise” presents challenges for the design
and implementation of AV systems, such as integrating old analogue sources and displays; integrating new technology such as 3D video and 4K resolutions; varying infrastructure and connectivity such as HDBaseT, multimode and single mode fibre, Thunderbolt and streaming media; managing data such as CEC, EDID and HDCP; understanding how scalers affect switching speed and image quality; and addressing the often overlooked digital audio. Keep up with the rapidly changing digital landscape so you can provide the most reliable and consistent system performance, and the best support.
13:00 - 14:00 Audio Networking and Control – What Do We Really Need? Room D204 Speaker: Roland Hemming, consultant, RH Consulting
The audio industry has had a plethora of networking and control standards and despite some great initiatives, still has no industry-wide means of getting all our equipment to work together. Perhaps the real problem is not one of agreeing standards, but the fact that we haven't properly worked out what we really need to do. Digital Audio has come a long way. We have the possibility of networking digital audio and video using AVB and the ability to have different audio networks together using AES67. Meanwhile, the OCA is hard at work establishing a means of audio equipment to talk to each other.
But does any of this actually help us? Will these technologies really make things easier for us to manage audio projects and events? What's missing? Discover the real concerns and needs of audio
professionals and what is required to make audio work better with video and other technologies.
13:00 - 14:00 Centralised and Automatic Lecture Capture Environments Room D301 Speaker: Ullrich Grimm-Allio, conference and media technician, Goethe University, Frankfurt
How can lecture capture strengthen a university
