• Intelligent Buildings

  March 5, 2020

  Approved for 1 BICSI ITS CEC*

  An intelligent building can be described generally as one in which data about building-systems’ performance can be collected, analyzed, and used to optimize those systems’ efficiency. In order to achieve any of these capabilities, the building systems must be supported by a reliable physical-layer infrastructure. This seminar, produced by Cabling Installation & Maintenance, examines multiple aspects of building and managing the infrastructure to support systems within an intelligent building.

  A recent survey of professionals across the information and communications technology (ICT) industry indicates that user organizations have begun to adopt latest-generation technologies like the Internet of Things, and more users plan to do so in the near future.

• AV over IP: Don’t Be Afraid!

  October 18, 2019

  Approved for 1 BICSI ITS CEC*

  Over the past decade, AV systems for applications like video displays, video conferencing and digital signage have shifted from connecting via traditional RCA coaxial, component cables and baluns to low-voltage network cabling such as balanced twisted-pair copper and optical fiber cables. While many of these networked AV systems still utilize proprietary equipment and protocols, newer AV-over-IP systems like SDVoE are doing more than just leveraging existing network cabling—they're also now leveraging common Ethernet/IP switches and are easier to design and deploy than ever before.

  Selecting the right type of cabling and connectivity, identifying the key features to consider and understanding related structured cabling standards, installation best practices and the need for proper testing and reporting can go a long way in helping AV integrators and network professionals alike eliminate their fears and ensure a successful, certified standards-compliant AV-over-IP deployment.
