How Are We Using AI in AV Programming? | A State of Control 128 45:40

45:40

Artificial Intelligence is less of a sci-fi concept these days. Unfortunately, it's instead just become more of a buzzword. Not to mention the defining lines between what consists of machine learning and generative computations. Rather than dig into that, we're here to discuss the programming side of things. Control programming is already a kind of setup to turn complex machinations into easily understood commands. By that nature, is AI something that can help our side of the industry or is it a hinderance? The video version of this podcast can be found here. Every month we dig into a topic concerning the programming side of the AV industry. We hold discussions important to programmers and what affects their work every single day. On this episode hosts Steve Greenblatt and Rich Fregosa are joined by Dave Hatz of CTI and Sumanth Rayancha from PepperDash Technology.

AV Programming: Custom or Configuration? | A State of Control 127 37:50

10 weeks ago37:50

37:50

To be honest, automation is kind of AV's thing. We program devices of all kinds to serve functions in a simple way. But how does automation come down to the actual programming part? Do we insist on custom code or look for configuration-based programming tools for assistance? Does AI even get a say in this matter? One this episode of a State of control, we'll break the advantages and drawbacks to both methods and explore the future of AV programming. The video version of this podcast can be found here. Every month, we take a deep dive into topics surrounding control AV and programming. Alongside co-host Uncle Richie, Steve Greenblatt discusses what matters with a panel of experts in the AV programming space. Joining us this week is (AVNation's AV Professional Of The Year) Britt Yenser from Northampton Community College and Brian Magrogan of Verrex.

The video version of this podcast can be found here. Many years ago, students were told that "they wouldn't have a calculator in their pocket" at all time. Not only do we have calculators in our pockets, we have vast amounts of information and technology right at our fingertips. Tech evolves at a considerable rate, and the same applies to the programming side of things. What does the future hold for AV and control programming? Rich Fregosa takes the helm for this episode and joins Nick Miller and Patrick Murray to talk about where we've come from and where we're heading.

When To Upgrade And Update AV Systems | A State of Control 124 36:21

36:21

One of the best parts about technology, especially software, is adaptability. Thanks to the internet we can run upgrade and modify systems to suit the needs of clients and customers on the fly. But updates aren't the be-all end-all. After all, one of the biggest shutdowns we saw from last year, CrowdStrike, came from a faulty update. On this episode, we talk to Brian Magrogan from Verrex and Raj Singh from the University of Southern California to takling about standards when it comes to upgrading systems.

How Manufacturer Partnerships Are Essential To AV | A State of Control 123 35:57

35:57

Integration is the foundation of the AV industry. Connecting different solutions and systems to make one cohesive unit is what makes AV so important for any space. Application Programming Interfaces, or APIs are one of those building blocks to exchange data and collaborate actions between devices, and the power of those APIs are only more important as technology evolves. On this episode we talk to manufacturers about partnerships and allowing systems to work together, and what that means for the AV market at large.

Managing Systems From Anywhere In The World | A State of Control 122 36:01

36:01

Out of the many things that the internet and networking in general has brought to AV, it's remote monitoring and support. No longer do you need to send out a team to diagnose a problem- Integrators can quickly respond and sort out the problem from afar. It's become so useful that it's considered a necessity rather than a luxury. We discuss critical features and factors to consider when preparing a system for remote monitoring. A State of Control is dedicated to the technical aspects of the AV industry. Each month we discuss topics integral to AV programmers and integrators. Steve Greenblatt and Rich Fregosa are joined by Nick Miller from Watermark Estate Management Services and Craig Underwood from Moravian University.

As technology and networks expand, we are relying more on software solutions for control in AV systems. But what's the impact of moving to these systems for programmers? We look at what AV professionals should understand about virtual control and its use for networked AV. On this episode of A State of Control, we are joined by Brian Magrogan from Verrex and Mike Krejci from CTI to discuss the role of virtual control in AV. This show looks at what programmers and AV professionals need to know about the evolving technology of our industry.

Understanding The CrowdStrike Outage | A State of Control 120 34:55

In July, CrowdStrike systems went down, causing over 8 millions systems to crash. It turns out the error was not caused by a virus, international attack or otherwise- Just a faulty update being pushed out. For a programmer, that is the number one nightmare. We sort out just what happened and what it takes to keep your systems going even in the event of imminent peril. On this episode of A State of Control, Steve Greenblatt and Rich Fregosa are joined by James King and Paul Konikowski to discuss the Crowdstrike Outage. We look at the potential risks of relying on cloud-based systems, worst-case scenarios, and responsibility in events like this.

It may shock you, but just writing code isn't all that programmers have to do. If they run a business around that programming, then there is much more that needs to be done that simply coding. There's coordination between your team and the client to make a project successful. So what are those unsung traits? We join co-host Rich Fregosa alongside Marc LaVecchia from BMA Software Solutions and Brian Magrogan of Verrex to look at all the facets of control programming that go beyond just coding.
