ZURICH, SWITZERLAND and HUNGERFORD, UK,March 14, 2017 – Recognizing a need for Networked AV and 4K/HDR education within the custom electronics industry, RGB Communications, an audio-visual products distributor in Great Britain and Ireland, has selected Atlona as one of a small, select group of manufacturers prepared to address these two highly important AV business opportunities at the CEDIA Tech Forum on March 23.
Atlona’s impact as an industry thought leader was most recently recognized at ISE 2017, where Director of Field Training and Technical Sales, Ken Eagle, gave four presentations on varying topics around emerging AV trends. The feedback from the event in part influencedRGB Communications to invite Mr. Eagle to address AV over IP and 4K/HDR.
“Atlona’s products and AV connectivity solutions continue to evolve to meet the demands of emerging requirements around AV over IP, 4K/HDR and other pertinent industry developments,” said Caroline Britt, RGB Communications Managing Director. “Considering the wealth of knowledge that Mr. Eagle possess on these topics, we felt they were ideally suited to bring an engaging educational experience to attendees.”
Taking place in the Birmingham Airport Holiday Inn in Birmingham, England, the March 23 date is the first of six CEDIA Tech Forum events aimed at combining education and networking for custom installers in residential AV. Atlona’s session will be included among several additional 60-minute manufacturer product training sessions:
