Ready for the 4K meeting room revolution!
This year, a special keynote by AV industry visionary and rAVe pubs founder Gary Kayye explains real versus pseudo 4K and how the industry can truly benefit from implementing 4K projection in the meeting room. Entitled “4K: No Myths, No Exaggerations – Just the Facts,” the presentation will be held during the General Session at 9:30am on Wednesday. Kayye will share the top four applications for 4K, presenting his session in real, live 4K using the Barco HDX-4K20 projector.

“The AV industry is riddled with misinformation about 4K including exaggerated specs, compatibility and performance,” comments Kayye. “Unfortunately, AV integrators are left to sort out what’s real 4K or simulated 4K, only to be left vulnerable to making serious mistakes.” Kayye will share information on everything an AV pro needs to know to specify, sell and integrate 4K systems right the first time.
