Host Tyler Kern was joined by Andrew Haring, VP, Business Development for the National Glass Association, Scott Rowe, Principal at Rowe Fenestration and Lindsey Parker, Rowe Fenestration’s Marketing Director to tackle a big question – how can cross-functional partnerships provide value for B2B companies and industries?

In particular, the quartet examined how Rowe Fenestration, which offers product selection, design support and more to major players in the glass industry, and the NGA have seen immediate benefits from a mutually beneficial partnership.

Parker highlighted the educational, resource-based aspect of the collaboration, adding that being able to share the deep library of resources at the disposal of the NGA with Rowe’s customers has brought incredible value and reach for both parties.

“That is part of our relationship with the National Glass Association – to bring to our audiences, and those that we interact with daily, resources they may not know about,” she said.

This symbiotic nature is a key aspect of taking advantage of any cross-functional partnership in the B2B space – if there’s an opportunity for two parties to come together and facilitate an exchange of ideas, resources, value and more, it is often a win-win for both organizations.

Kern and his guests also touched on NGA’s GlassBuild Ambassador Program established in 2019, and last year’s GlassBuild Conference, a valuable event that provides key collaboration opportunities, as Rowe Fenestration and the NGA explore their strategic partnership.

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Vendors draw the same line: transcoding and graphics move to the cloud, while intercom, tally and camera shading stay on site. Riedel says the connection back to on-site talent, cameras, tally and IFB can still undermine the production or the business case. Hybrid now looks like the end state.

  • 01Dillon argues hybrid cloud-plus-venue production is the end state, so on-site hardware for latency-bound work belongs in long-term facility plans.
  • 02Interoperability standards such as SMPTE ST 2110 and NMOS handle the plumbing. The question to put to vendors now is how their systems provision, configure, tear down and monitor services alongside other vendors' gear.

Vindral shares an Emmy honour for frame-accurate browser monitoring

Vindral shares an Emmy honour for frame-accurate browser monitoring

Vindral shares an Emmy honour in a category described as web-based, frame-accurate, remote and distributed. Vindral shares the category with NBCUniversal, Disney, Amazon, CBS Sports, Grass Valley, Game Creek and SipRadius. The award recognises tools that keep production teams in separate locations frame-accurate in a browser, without specialised hardware.

  • 01The Emmy-recognised technical bar is that everyone on a distributed production sees the exact same frame at the exact same moment in an ordinary browser, with no specialised hardware.
  • 02Eight organizations share the award, and the release says the work being honored dates to the pandemic. The announcement doesn’t rank the honourees or include latency figures a buyer could benchmark.

Certified Teams Rooms kit from Nureva and AudioCodes needs no ceiling mics

Certified Teams Rooms kit from Nureva and AudioCodes needs no ceiling mics

Nureva and AudioCodes earned Microsoft Teams Rooms certification for an Android setup for medium rooms: Nureva’s HDL310 plus three AudioCodes devices. The design avoids tabletop or ceiling mics and skips complex DSP and custom programming. It helps IT teams standardize repeatable rooms, while certification tests device performance (not feature claims).

  • 01A medium Teams Room on Android can be built from four jointly certified devices (Nureva HDL310, AudioCodes RXVCam70, RXV200-ES and RX-PAD-ES) without tabletop or ceiling microphones.
