On this episode of AV+:

Our guests today are Henning Kaltheuner, head of market intelligence at d&b audiotechnik, and Richard Bugg, digital product solutions architect at Meyer Sound. Both of them work actively with the Avnu Alliance, which is shepherding Milan, a standards-based deterministic network protocol for real time media.

Kaltheuner and Bugg join Dan Ferrisi, editor-in-chief of Commercial Integrator, to discuss the latest developments with Avnu Alliance, including a new, more simplified Milan certification process.

So why go through all the headaches of purchasing and learning software if it’s such a hassle? Download our annual 2021 Software report to find out.

The Commercial Integrator Podcast

The term “pro AV” doesn’t do justice to the whole integration crowd, so we at Commercial Integrator wanted to create a pro AV podcast that speaks to all of those areas (and more!) under the umbrella of commercial technology integration.

The host, editor-in-chief Dan Ferrisi, is looking forward to providing listeners with an entertaining, informative forum for all topics affecting the commercial AV industry.

AV+ Podcast: CTI on Its Acquisition of Vistacom

CTI acquiring Vistacom — news that broke Feb. 13 — is arguably the biggest pro AV merger and acquisition news in months. That's why Commercial Integrator brought together John Laughlin, CEO and president of CTI, as well as Angela Nolan, formerly the CEO of Vistacom, to give AV+ the inside scoop. Here, they touch on how the deal came together and, more importantly, why each company chose the other. In this candid discussion, Laughlin and Nolan go into detail on the timeline for the acquisition, why this was the right time for Vistacom to become part of a larger organization, how the move affects existing Vistacom team members, what it means for the future of the command-and-control segment, and how existing Vistacom customers will benefit from leveraging CTI's infrastructure.
