(Spiceland, Ind.) – Draper has added a second AV Consultant Relations Manager. Joseph Burke will be responsible for the western half of the United States. He joins Steve Cook, who will continue his role in the eastern half of the country.

“Our work with AV consultants has remained an important focus for us,” said Jentry Wittkamper, director of sales. “Joe’s enthusiasm for the AV industry, and his depth of knowledge about projection and direct view display structures, made him a natural choice to help continue developing strategic relationships with the design community.”

Burke first joined Draper as a regional sales manager in the southern U.K. in 2009. He most recently served as U.K. and European manager.

“I really appreciate the opportunity to work with Steve and our AV consultants in the United States,” said Burke. “I’m looking forward to getting out there and helping AV consultants design the best visual display solutions for their environments.”

Burke will be available to assist AV consultants from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time by phone, email, or virtual meetings. He will begin traveling to in person meetings later this year, once travel restrictions are lifted.

He can be contacted at 765-856-1330 or jburke@draperinc.com.

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Vendors draw the same line: transcoding and graphics move to the cloud, while intercom, tally and camera shading stay on site. Riedel says the connection back to on-site talent, cameras, tally and IFB can still undermine the production or the business case. Hybrid looks like where things settle.

  • 01Dillon’s analysis suggests hybrid cloud-plus-venue production is where things settle, making on-site hardware for latency-bound work a long-term facility plan item.
  • 02Interoperability standards such as SMPTE ST 2110 and NMOS handle the plumbing. The question to put to vendors now is how their systems provision, configure, tear down and monitor services alongside other vendors' gear.
