MarketScale Pro AV 01/10/19: How Pro AV is Keeping You Safe

 

Sometimes it’s hard to stop and remember where technology was 20 years ago. These days it feels like innovation is happening at such a rapid rate it can be hard to keep track of where we’ve been. On this episode of the MarketScale Pro AV podcast we take some time to look back and where the industry has been, where it is now, and where it’s going in the future.

Dr. Alex del Carmen from Tarleton State University joins the show to explain how technology has revolutionized law enforcement in the 21 years that he has been a part of it. He speaks to the added accountability brought about by body cameras and talks about the constantly moving target between safety and privacy. After that, Sean Wargo from AVIXA joins our correspondent Sean Heath for a look back at the year in Pro AV for 2018 and take a glance forward at some of the exciting possibilities 2019 could hold.

On today’s podcast, I have a chance to chat with the Sr. Director of Market Intelligence for AVIXA, Sean Wargo. We reflect on a few things worth bringing along for the ride this year, Sean points out a few interesting possibilities waiting for us this next 12 months, and we both officially retire from our dreams of becoming e-Sports stars (although we retain the right to break out our Fortnite dance moves at any time).
