Optimizing USB-C in Pro AV Micro Workshop

Like all technology, Universal Serial Bus – USB has evolved over time. USB-C now offers a much wider set of functions including data, video, audio, and power delivery and has become a standard component of many AV systems. With increased bandwidth, a smaller connector format, and support from major device manufacturers, USB is primed to act as the single connector for laptops and Unified Communications applications. AV professionals will benefit from understanding how USB works, including its advantages and limitations, for optimal use in a Pro AV environment, and how to enhance existing systems with Extron’s USB-C solutions.

Improving Audio to Enhance the AI-Powered Workplace

AI is transforming the way we work — but its impact is only as powerful as the sound it relies on.

In this session, we’ll explore how high-quality, AI-enhanced audio brings the modern meeting space to life through four key pillars: Enhancing signature spaces with flexible solutions that adapt to any meeting type or size. Empowering everyone to be seen, heard, and recognized with crystal-clear, inclusive audio. Enhancing meeting accuracy by fueling AI tools like Copilot with precise inputs.
