With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I wanted to thank John Garmendi and the amazing team at Sony for all your support over the years. Sony are doing great things, and I'm grateful to be on that journey as a member of the Sony Consultant Advisory Council, where we recently had the opportunity to tour the manufacturing facilities in Mexico. Fun fact: Did you know that EVERY display is tested before leaving the factory. That's right EVERY display! Just another reason why Sony is leading the way in display technology.

We recently had the pleasure of testing out Nureva’s HDL200, HDL310, and HDL410 microphone arrays, and let me tell you, these devices are a game-changer for meeting room audio! What sets Nureva apart is the patented 'microphone mist technology', which creates thousands of virtual microphones, ensuring crystal-clear audio capture from every corner of the room. The HDL200, 310, and 410 offer coverage for small, medium, and large rooms, respectively and is compatible with leading video conferencing platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Cisco Webex. Pair it with an Inogeni Cam230 for automatic camera tracking and switching of popular PTZ camera manufacturers including Sony, PTZOptics and Aver, via the sound location data received from the microphones. Other features include Dynamic Boost which automatically adjusts microphone sensitivity for optimal audio, and Dante support for flexible audio routing via the network. If you’re looking to elevate your meeting room audio experience, I highly recommend checking out the Nureva HDL series.

Looking for an IP65 outdoor display? Then you may be interested in the brand new 55" weatherproof display from Philips. One of the features that caught my eye (pun intended) was the circular polarization. Why is that important? Well, because typically if a display is mounted in portrait mode, and you're wearing polarized sunglasses, the screen appears to be off, totally black, as if it's not functioning. But not anymore, thanks to the circular polarization technology deployed on these displays. This IP65 display is perfect for all outdoor conditions, including fast food drive-thru's, stadiums, or hot and humid environments such as Queensland and Florida.

In 2019, the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) banned selling and installing security cameras manufactured in China. As a result, governments around the world removed certain Chinese IP CCTV cameras from their facilities due to concerns over possible security breaches. That's why it's important to ensure that your IP CCTV cameras are NDAA compliant. Fortunately there are a number of NDAA complaint camera manufacturers out there, including iVSEC range from Alloys. For more information on the complete range of iVSEC cameras, reach out the team at Alloys - www.allloys.com.au or head to www.ivsecurity.com.au Pete ‘TEC MAN’ Coman Mark (The Bearded Tech) Skehan The Tech Effect Blair Frederiksen Rowan Hall Andrew Whiting Simon Feigl Andrew Rubin Joe Serra Jack Waterhouse Andrew Maloney AVIXA Integrate Expo #thetecheffect #tecman #petecoman #thebeardedtech #markthebeardedtechskehan #newtech #newtechnology #futuretech #futuretechnology #technology #tech #avtweeps #av #audiovisual #avixa #avtech #avdesign #avtechnology #avislife #avpeople #av #integrate #integrate24 #alloys #TechSolutions #ivsec #ipcctv #ndaa
