Hello #AVtweeps, I hope your Tuesday has been great! I’ll keep it short and sweet. Make sure to check out this latest column from Bob Snyder — it’s all about the next NASA moon mission and the attempt to “beam moon videos.” Also, Scott Tiner wrote a piece about some things he realized as he walked through the airport — he had a chaotic experience with some signage.

Plus, check out Angekis’ new PTZ camera for video production, CYP Europe’s new control keypad and the speaker lineup for DSS Europe!

COLUMNS

+ Next NASA Moon Mission Will Use Out-of-This-World Lasers to Beam Moon Videos [Bob Snyder]

NASA recently named the four astronauts flying on NASA’s Artemis 2 moon mission in 2024. They will be the first people to travel to lunar in more than 50 years. But Artemis 2 will be carrying more than astronauts in its payload.

+ Design AV Based on Observed Needs and Behavior [Scott Tiner]

Because of an airline delay, we were in a rush to get to the terminal and knew where to go, so granted, we were not paying a lot of attention. Yet, something was nagging in my head as we walked through the terminal. I knew something was not right or looked different, but I didn’t put in any effort to figure out what it was. About halfway through the terminal I finally took a look at the arrival/departure board and it struck me. All the digital signage had an emergency warning on it. When I say all, I mean ALL the digital signage in the entire terminal. The pictures included here are actual pictures taken from that day.

+ The Science Behind Voice Privacy [Maggie McIntyre]

The words we speak are precious. They convey our thoughts and opinions but also our vulnerabilities, insecurities and secrets. How can we ensure those inner feelings are protected when we need them to be? The answer lies in voice privacy: solutions that secure voice data over networks to make sure conversations are not interrupted, intercepted or recorded without permission.
