Last time, we talked about the technology that revolutionized control programming. What could possibly match up against that? In one word: Connectivity. The advent of the internet was a leap in scale for many spaces including AV. On this episode of A State of Control, we look at how this one change changed everything about AV as we know it.Host: Steve Greenblatt & Rich FregosaGuests:Dan Feldstein – CrestronMike Leitensdorfer – Communitronics CorporationGeorge Tucker – Corporate AVPeter Knapp – Extron See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is a new kind of A State of Control. But if we're going to do things right, we have to start all the way at the beginning. Join us for a journey in control programming, from humble starts to multi-million dollar corporations.

As more devices and solutions get connected to the network, security is more important than ever. What was once 'nice to have' is essential if you want to keep your systems running. On this episode we look at securing the network and ensuring that you and your clients data are safe.The video version of this podcast can be found here.Every month, A State of Control dives into a specific topic as it pertains to the control space of AV. We gather a panel of experts to talk about the best practices for integrators, end-users and programmers to learn and grow. This week we are joined by Rich Fregosa from Fregosa Design and Paul Konikowski from Cronos Consulting.Host: Steve GreenblattGuests:Rich Fregosa – Fregosa DesignPaul Konikowski – Cronos Consulting See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
