As this issue came together, one theme emerged time and again: conversations about the future of pro AV centred not on the technology itself, but on the outcomes it enables.
That is especially evident in our lead retail feature, where the emphasis is increasingly shifting from spectacle to strategy. AI, analytics and networked AV are helping retailers deliver more engaging customer experiences while also providing the operational insight needed to respond more quickly to changing demands.
The same principle is evident in our hospitality feature, where AVoIP enables integrated environments that improve both the guest experience and day-to-day operations. Our Computex report also underlines how advances in AI, networking and computing are increasingly shaping the future of pro AV.
Finally, marking ten years of SMPTE ST 2110, we explore how IP has become the foundation for the networked infrastructures underpinning today’s pro AV industry, as companies including Atlona and WyreStorm continue to expand their IP portfolios.
Taken together, these articles reflect an industry defined not by the hardware users see, but by the intelligence and interoperability working quietly behind the scenes.
