So, let's get this party started! Thomas Tang, that badass dude behind Apantac, is excited to dish the deets.
Let's Chat, Tang!
SCN: Hey, Tang! What's cookin' at Apantac's booth this year?
Thomas Tang: InfoComm 2025, my dude, is where Apantac's gonna hammer home our dedication to those sick IP-centric broadcast and Pro AV workflows. You're gonna wanna check out our badass new ST 2110/IPMX, HDBaseT, and SDVoE tech, man. We're talking seamless integration into modern IP infrastructures, folks!
We're also gonna flaunt our enhanced T# Multiviewer series and modular openGear solutions. These bad boys will provide flexible and scalable signal processing for all kinds of assorted applications, so get ready to level up your AV game, mate.
But that ain't all. Apantac's got some next-level KVM-over-IP systems featuring secure and efficient remote control across hybrid environments—because let's be honest, who doesn't want to save time and sweet, sweet cash working remotely?
In the audio realm, we're expandin' our Dante product lineup with some nifty HDMI and SDI converters that support advanced formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. It's all about bridging the gap between traditional AV and cutting-edge AoIP networks, homies!
And if that wasn't enough, Apantac's got some application-driven solutions tailored for museums, digital signage installations, and event spaces. You can bet your bottom dollar these babies will show you how it's done!
InfoComm 2025's Buzzworthy Buzzwords
SCN: So, what's gonna be the talk of the InfoComm town this year, Tang?
TT: Well, my friend, several key buzzwords are gonna be flyin' around the show floor this year. Things like AV over IP, IPMX, SDVoE, and NDI will be all up in everyone's grills, discussing interoperability, low latency, and efficient network-distributed workflows.
Hybrid work and remote collaboration's still gonna remain a major topic, so expect plenty of chin-wagging about KVM over IP, BYOD integration, and unified communications platforms for control rooms and command centers.
AI-driven AV technologies like intelligent audio mixing, auto-tracking, and video analytics are gonna be grabbing attention, along with sustainability continuing to guide product development through energy-efficient, modular, and future-ready hardware designs. Edge processing's gonna be a big deal too, with compact, fanless devices enabling those real-time AV workflows you all crave at the edge.
If you're into immersive experiences for museums, retail environments, and extended reality (XR) applications, my dude, don't miss out—these babies are gonna be downright irresistible!
Tang's Top Tips for a Multiviewer Masterpiece
SCN: So, what should we be on the lookout for when selecting a top-notch multiviewer, Tang?
TT: Alright, here's the scoop, homes: when you're on the hunt for a badass multiviewer, make sure it supports a ton of signal formats, including SDI, HDMI, IP formats like ST 2110/IPMX and NDI, and even those legacy analog inputs.
You'll wanna aim for scalability and adaptability, 'cause you never know when you'll need to expand or adapt your setup. Aim for crisp and accurate visuals with high-resolution output up to 4K/UHD, HDR support, and low-latency, high-quality scaling.
Customization's key too—make sure you can configure editable labels, tallies, borders, logos, and real-time audio meters to your heart's content. A robust on-screen alarms system will help you keep your head on straight by alerting you to potential issues like video loss, freeze, black frames, audio silence, and signal integrity issues.
Integration via web-based GUIs, SNMP, GPIO, or compatibility with third-party control systems is crucial too, so don't forget to check those boxes. And finally, make sure your multiviewer's as reliable as a tank with dual power supplies and hot-swappable cards for uninterrupted performance. Roll credits, homes—it's a wrap!
