Training Seminars


Session 1: 8:00AM – AV over IP Networking Fundamentals
This session will cover the fundamentals of IP networking and how they apply to configuring switches for AV over IP. Topics include basic networking concepts and then graduate to more specific topics such as IGMP, Multicast, PTP, AVB, and ST2110.

Session 2: 10:00AM – Intelligibility
What is it? How do I get more? – 10AM to 11:30AM – This hands-on workshop will explore the tools that are available for prediction and measurement of Intelligibility. No more guessing if the sound system will meet the needs of the client, we can predict how well it works before the first construction begins. We can also verify that the performance of the system meets the design goals. Audience participation will be included in this event.
ENJOY A COMPLIMENTARY LUNCH
