Command and control rooms, the nerve centers of many industries, are witnessing a dynamic evolution in technology and best practices. On this episode of Pro AV Today, industry leaders Dan Gundry of Barco and Jon Litt of G&D North America shared their valuable insights on this critical facet of the professional AV industry.

The discussion begins with the mention of a new group that emerged at Infocomm, aiming to bring about a paradigm shift in the command and control room sector. This initiative is dedicated to standardizing education and training, ensuring uniformity of best practices and thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of these mission-critical spaces.

The conversation then pivoted toward the differentiation between mission-critical and commercial AV tools. Gundry and Litt shed light on the specific applications of these tools within command and control room environments, highlighting the inherent challenges associated with each and their potential impact on the industry.

For those involved in the design, implementation, or operation of command and control rooms, understanding the implications of mission-critical AV applications versus commercial ones is crucial. These insights offered by industry experts present an indispensable resource for anyone aiming to stay ahead of the curve in this fast-evolving industry.

Cornea's Class AI puts 100+ teaching tools on its interactive panel

Cornea's Class AI puts 100+ teaching tools on its interactive panel

Cornea's Class AI software adds more than 100 teaching tools. Pune-based Cornea, an OEM on the GeM portal, presents its products under the theme "One Brand for Every Display Need," which could appeal to schools and government buyers who want one supplier.

  • 01Cornea positions itself as a single source for hardware, software and AI-enabled AV infrastructure, with consolidation pitched as valuable for institutions fitting out rooms in batches.
  • 02For buyers already standardized on a conferencing or audio brand, how well a new panel fits the installed gear matters more than a single-brand classroom stack.
  • 03Signal to watch: whether the AIO PC, the Orator lectern and the new panel appear as orderable GeM listings, and at what price.

TVC's Genting Casino Manchester refit reuses 10 screens alongside 12 new ones

TVC's Genting Casino Manchester refit reuses 10 screens alongside 12 new ones

TVC Technology Solutions has upgraded Genting Casino Manchester with a curved LED entrance wall and 12 new Iiyama displays, while updating, relocating and repurposing 10 existing screens. A WyreStorm NetworkHD AV-over-IP platform links old and new screens as one system, suggesting how compatible venues can expand without rebuilding cabling or replacing everything.

  • 01At Genting Casino Manchester, TVC updated, relocated and repurposed 10 existing screens and installed 12 new Iiyama displays. An AV-over-IP network is what lets them run alongside the new screens as one system.
  • 02Once receivers are already on the IP network, adding a screen mostly means fitting a decoder at the new spot. The cabling back to a central rack doesn't need rebuilding.
  • 03Reuse has limits. The showpiece entrance wall was new and custom-built from bracket to controller, so carried-over hardware only works for the parts of the venue where compatible gear already exists.

ViewSonic now ships a 136-inch LED wall pitched to avoid permanent installs

ViewSonic now ships a 136-inch LED wall pitched to avoid permanent installs

ViewSonic's LDS136-152, a foldable 136-inch LED wall on wheels, is now shipping. It sets up in minutes. That gives AV and facilities teams a large screen for shared event spaces and European listed buildings, where drilling into walls may be restricted.

  • 01A 136-inch wall that folds into a flight case turns a construction project into a piece of equipment that moves between rooms.
  • 02The design earns its keep when the screen actually travels: between rooms, venues or trade shows. A display that never leaves one lobby gets less out of the wheels.
  • 03ViewSonic points to historic or protected buildings across Europe, where permanent structural changes may be restricted or impractical, as a use case for its installation-light, mobile dvLED wall.
