Mike Dziok, Marketing Director of Microdrones, has been with the company for over two years. With a strong background in marketing, he is excited to be involved in the product/solution aspect of Microdrones. He recently spoke about his experience and duties with the company as well as the trends he has witnessed and expects in the future.

Dziok oversees the company’s marketing platform. His tasks include items related communications, advertising, lead generation, and distributor marketing. According to Dziok, Microdrones uses a combination of online and traditional tactics to fill our sales funnel with relevant leads.”

The most obvious trend in the industry appears to be collaboration and integration. Dziok explains that the various drone companies are “merging together… not just with other drone manufacturers, but with software, sensor and service companies.” He feels that these mergers are reflective of the new notions regarding the purchase and use of drones: “[Clients] are buying a fully integrated system and need one company that can provide the full package: aircraft, perfectly integrated sensors, software, workflow, training, and support.”

Microdrones is known for their continual innovation in the industry. According to Dziok, one of his company’s projects that exemplify this evolution is the LiDAR. Microdrones is “building upon our mdLiDAR1000 system with additional systems and LiDAR integrations,” he explains.

In regard to future trends, Dziok believes that the merger/collaboration activities will continue. He states, “There will be more packaging of vehicle + sensor + software + workflow. Busy geospatial professionals need a fully integrated solution.” He adds, “To support that, you will see more technology companies merging together and also entering strategic alliances to most efficiently provide the full end to end solution.”

2018 looks to be an exciting and busy year for Mike Dziok and Microdrones. To learn more, visit them online today!

$1,499 SDM module puts Dante AV Ultra inside the display

$1,499 SDM module puts Dante AV Ultra inside the display

Adtechno launched the $1,499 DAV-03SBL for Intel SDM-L displays and projectors, per rAVe [PUBS]. It puts the endpoint inside the display. That cuts edge boxes but makes switching, power, and device management decide the outcome.

  • 01If a display can be the decoder, the RFP shifts from “which wall box?” to “which switch config and management plane?” That’s where risk and labor move.
  • 02A single 1GbE link carrying 4K60 4:4:4 plus embedded audio (as specified by Adtechno via rAVe [PUBS]) makes uplink planning and multicast policy more important than HDMI extenders in many builds.
  • 03Adtechno is building a family around Dante AV Ultra, with DAV-02 encoder/decoder (Digital Signage Today) and an SDM module that can standardize endpoints across signage and rooms.

Microsoft's MDEP Signage: From NRF Preview to InfoComm Demo

Microsoft, MediaTek, and IAdea previewed what they described as the first digital signage solution built on Microsoft's Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP) at NRF 2026 in January, and Avocor and IAdea demonstrated a pairing of MDEP-based signage with Avocor's new B Series displays at InfoComm 2026 in June, according to AV Magazine and invidis. Neither report describes the technology as shipping in commercial deployments.

  • 01MDEP adds identity management, conditional access, device attestation, and centralized lifecycle control to signage displays, enabling management like traditional IT endpoints.
  • 02MediaTek's Genio 720 system-on-chip, used in MDEP previews, provides industrial-grade performance with 10 TOPS AI acceleration and supports up to ultra-wide 5K or dual 2.5K display outputs.
  • 03MDEP-based signage remains in preview and demonstration status as of June 2026; buyers should verify current availability and understand MDEP licensing costs before purchase decisions.

IBC2026 Previews Show Vendors Pitching Orchestration Platforms

Pre-show coverage of IBC2026, held September 11-14 in Amsterdam, shows several vendors including Telestream, PlayBox Neo and Zixi framing announcements around workflow orchestration and hybrid transport reliability rather than single products. Separately, NewscastStudio reported EverPass expanded its Netflix-linked deal to distribute the full NFL slate to bars and restaurants.

  • 01Telestream, PlayBox Neo, and Zixi are leading with orchestration and resilience messaging ahead of IBC2026 in Amsterdam, September 11-14.
  • 02Verify orchestration and resilience claims through vendor documentation, reference calls, and hands-on evaluation before committing to platforms.
  • 03Request documented API boundaries, interoperability testing evidence, and failure detection demonstrations rather than relying on marketing descriptions.
