EPISODE 184 | Guest: Brian Galante, President Americas for Copper Leaf Media
Fresh from ISE 2026 in Barcelona, this episode takes a look at what's shaping the AV industry right now. From the rise of ePaper displays to the quiet but significant shift toward USB-C connectivity, the show made clear that innovation today is less about spectacle and more about making technology simpler, smarter, and more connected.
AI was everywhere on the show floor – some of it genuine, some of it marketing buzz – but the real story at ISE 2026 was interoperability. Platforms, sensors, and devices are finally coming together in meaningful ways, and emerging standards like IPMX are helping AV and broadcast technologies work seamlessly across IP networks.
<ul>
<li>Discover why ePaper is becoming the go-to solution for room signs and digital signage</li>
<li>Learn how USB-C is simplifying AV setups and replacing legacy wiring</li>
<li>Understand what IPMX standards mean for AV interoperability</li>
<li>Explore how AI is delivering real value in captioning, camera tracking, and room automation</li>
<li>Hear what ISE 2026 reveals about where AV technology is headed</li>

EPISODE 183 | Guest: Debbie DeWitt, marketing communications manager for Visix
In today's workplace, meeting fatigue and email overload are driving organizations to rethink how they communicate. This episode explores asynchronous communication – a method that allows people to receive and process information on their own schedule rather than requiring everyone to be present simultaneously. Unlike traditional meetings or real-time calls, asynchronous methods respect people's time, reduce interruptions, and accommodate diverse schedules across shifts, time zones, and work arrangements.
<a href='https://www.visix.com/digital-signage-software/'>Digital signage emerges as a particularly effective asynchronous tool</a>, delivering information that's continuously available without demanding immediate attention. The discussion covers practical applications across various industries, along with content strategies, best practices, and how to integrate digital signage into a broader multi-channel communication approach.
<ul>
<li>Understand synchronous vs. asynchronous methods and when each works best.</li>
<li>Learn to combat meeting fatigue and protect employee "flow states."</li>
<li>Discover how digital signage engages with non-intrusive, always-available information.</li>
<li>Explore asynchronous content ideas for corporate, healthcare, and campus environments.</li>
<li>Get actionable advice on integrating digital signage into a multi-channel communication strategy that balances synchronous and asynchronous methods.</li>
