Good afternoon, and welcome from AEA here in Dallas, Texas. I had the pleasure of joining Mark Shepherd. Our Head of International Sales. My name is Brit WANick. I'm the VP of Marketing. And today, Mark and I are gonna talk about what we're gonna do at Arrow Fridrick Shoffman, which is an international show in Germany in a few weeks, much like the sun and fun of era. Mark, glad to have you with us. Well, thanks, Brit. It's nice to be here. What can you tell us that's, unique about some of the UAVionics products that are good for Europe and the UK in particular how they might differ from what we have here in the US. Sure. Our main products that we market outside the US in the UK and Europe, but basically everywhere else are the AB thirty. Yeah. The tail beak and X, the AV twenty. We sell those as well. ADSB is a little bit different outside of this country where we're basically nine seven eight megahertz, UAT system here in the in the states. Outside the states, everyone else is on the ten ninety megahertz system, which is the satellites, space based ADSP system that, again, the rest of the world will all be using. When they start to implement their ADS out programs. On statin, and we offer both experimental and certified products that support those in Europe. Is that correct? We do. The experimental market isn't quite as big there as it is here, but we do sell those as well. But it's predominantly more of a certified environment. Setting in and speaking of those certifications, I know we've been working to, expand the approved model list or the aircraft model for some of those, any activity happening around that lately? Yeah. There's almost constant activity. Our focus is really on the Robin aircraft Okay. And the different models that they have, which is I'm told the the highest selling aircraft, in Europe, Yep. Developed in France a while ago, and lots of them there, and lots of them are eighty thirty and tail Bicconx candidates. Not standing. Yeah. I've, I've seen them they're all made out of wood if I recall correctly. I believe so. That's correct. Very good stuff. So has anyone flown to Robin yet with any of our equipment on So we have a customer in France that has obtained his own STC Oh, wow. For installation of the AV thirty. And he's shared that information with our office there, in the Netherlands. So customers who have that aircraft that are interested in an AB thirty I can get them the information to be able to install it. Fantastic. Wow. Looks like it's gonna be a great show over there in Arrow Fridrick Shop, and so I'm excited to have everyone there. Thanks for your time. Us too. Frost. Frost. Thank you.

Campus AV-over-IP: a 10GbE switching and one-dashboard control buy

Campus AV-over-IP: a 10GbE switching and one-dashboard control buy

AV refreshes are starting to read more like network procurement decisions. Many designers now specify 10 Gigabit Ethernet for headroom, and campuses want a “single pane of glass” to monitor and control rooms. That shifts cost and risk to the IP network: bandwidth, governance, and the support model.

  • 01Many designers are specifying 10GbE headroom for AV-over-IP devices such as 4K monitors, according to Church Production Magazine, which turns classroom and venue upgrades into a switching and backbone procurement decision.
  • 02IMS Technology Services frames campus-wide standard room packages and a “single pane of glass” for monitoring and control as the support model, fewer room variants means fewer configs, spares, and escalation paths.
  • 03Church Production Magazine points to the cost jump as baseband routers grow from 16x16 to 64x64 and beyond, a pain point that underpins AV-over-IP’s argument for commercial-off-the-shelf switches over vendor-specific distribution hardware.

$1,499 SDM module puts Dante AV Ultra inside the display

$1,499 SDM module puts Dante AV Ultra inside the display

Adtechno’s $1,499 DAV-03SBL is designed for Intel SDM-L displays and projectors, per rAVe [PUBS]. It makes the display the Dante AV Ultra endpoint, which can mean fewer edge boxes but concentrates risk in switching, power, and device management.

  • 01If a display can be the decoder, the RFP shifts from “which wall box?” to “which switch config and management plane?” That’s where risk and labor move.
  • 02A single 1GbE link carrying 4K60 4:4:4 plus embedded audio (per Adtechno via rAVe [PUBS]) makes per-endpoint bandwidth assumptions, uplink sizing, and multicast policy central to planning.
  • 03Adtechno is building a family around Dante AV Ultra, with DAV-02 encoder/decoder (Digital Signage Today) and an SDM module that can standardize endpoints across signage and rooms.

Microsoft's MDEP Signage: From NRF Preview to InfoComm Demo

Microsoft's MDEP Signage: From NRF Preview to InfoComm Demo

Microsoft, MediaTek, and IAdea previewed what they described as the first digital signage solution built on Microsoft's Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP) at NRF 2026 in January, and Avocor and IAdea demonstrated a pairing of MDEP-based signage with Avocor's new B Series displays at InfoComm 2026 in June, according to AV Magazine and invidis. Neither report describes the technology as shipping in commercial deployments.

  • 01MDEP adds identity management, conditional access, device attestation, and centralized lifecycle control to signage displays, enabling management like traditional IT endpoints.
  • 02MediaTek's Genio 720 system-on-chip, used in MDEP previews, provides industrial-grade performance with 10 TOPS AI acceleration and supports up to ultra-wide 5K or dual 2.5K display outputs.
  • 03MDEP-based signage remains in preview and demonstration status as of June 2026; buyers should verify current availability and understand MDEP licensing costs before purchase decisions.
