Don’t forget to also check out the latest piece from Futuresource — this is all about the meeting room camera market. As it continues to be an important part of hybrid meetings and broke $1 billion last year, Futuresource takes a look at how it might grow.

COLUMNS

+ EU Power Ruling Will Turn Off 8K Sales [Bob Snyder]

New EU power consumption regulations will go into effect then — and the new power consumption limits required for 8K TVs (and microLED-based displays) are so low that experts claim no devices will pass. Not a one.

+ Meeting Room Camera Market Breaks $1 Billion Barrier in 2021 and Continues to Perform [Alistair Johnston]

The market for meeting room cameras continues to show buoyancy, as hybrid working patterns maintain their presence in the commercial landscape. A new report from Futuresource Consulting shows that volumes increased across every meeting room camera category last year, culminating in 15% volume growth and 19% value growth year-on-year.

+ BEST Demo at CEDIA Expo 2022: A Collab Between Trinnov, McIntosh, Sonus Faber, Kaleidescape and madVR [Gary Kayye]

I’ve been attending CEDIA Expo for 20+ years. In case you don’t know what it is, CEDIA Expo is the industry’s premier high-end residential AV show — filled with stuff to make your home smarter, build the ultimate home cinema or tech that makes nesting a home better. No, this isn’t CES — the Consumer Electronics Show. It’s not a digital signage show nor is it a show filled with Amazon Alexa-enabled gear. CEDIA Expo is truly high-end HomeAV.
