Summer Heat Amplified: Latest SCN July Edition Hits the Stands
In the latest issue of Systems Contractor News (SCN) magazine, readers are treated to a comprehensive exploration of the technologies driving corporate campus displays in today's hybrid office spaces. This focus on advanced audiovisual (AV) solutions, seamless connectivity, and integrated collaboration tools promises to be a must-read for professionals in the AV industry.
The July issue delves into various key technologies, starting with all-in-one large-format displays that seamlessly blend high-quality visuals with integrated mounts, remote control, audio, and wireless content sharing. Examples include Nanolumens’ Captivate Series, which offers Full HD and Ultra HD options with built-in wireless functionality, supporting content sharing from any device and integrating with conferencing platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Webex.
Another highlighted technology is AV-over-IP infrastructure and network switches, optimized for audiovisual needs and enabling scalable, flexible, and reliable distribution of video and audio signals across corporate campus networks. NETGEAR's AV Line switches, recognized by SCN, provide essential backbone support for AV systems, allowing hybrid offices to manage multiple displays and media streams efficiently.
The July issue also sheds light on wireless power technologies, which are emerging to support new AV and IoT devices on campuses without cumbersome wiring. Powercast’s RF-based wireless power solutions, for instance, enable devices to operate without batteries or wired power, supporting smarter, untethered devices in corporate environments.
Lastly, the issue discusses the integration of interactive and generative media technologies, such as immersive augmented reality experiences, which add engaging and dynamic content layers to physical displays, enhancing user interaction. While not explicitly corporate, Dan Marcolina’s "Diffused Reality" exhibition demonstrates how smartphone scanning of artworks can animate static images, illustrating the type of interactive display technologies influencing corporate visual environments.
In summary, the July issue of SCN magazine highlights advanced all-in-one display solutions with wireless collaboration, robust AV-over-IP network infrastructure, wireless power delivery for untethered devices, and innovative interactive media experiences—all combining to support flexible, engaging, and efficient hybrid workspaces.
The July issue of SCN magazine is now available for reading, making it an ideal resource for those interested in staying up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in the AV industry.
