A driver monitoring tool, such as the one provided by SambaSafety, offers a significant opportunity to prepare and exert control over unexpected incidents, as Eric Waldinger, the company’s Chief Marketing Officer, emphasizes on The Blind Spot.

Just about everyone in the world was thrilled to tear off the final page of the 2020 calendar and get a fresh start in the new year.

But, while there is light at the end of the tunnel as the world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, the upcoming year could have just as many twists and turns as the one that preceded it.

That’s why Eric Waldinger, Chief Marketing Officer for SambaSafety, believes planning is critical, with companies doing their best to assert their influence over the variables they’re able to control.

“Being prepared for any unexpected losses or incidents that come up is one that you’re going to be able to control in 2021,” Waldinger said.

SambaSafety’s Driver Monitoring tool is one way to do just that, with Waldinger highlighting eight key benefits to the program, including risk mitigation, reducing workload thanks to not pulling MVRs, automating safety programs and simply encouraging safer driving with monthly violations and accidents going down when people understand they’re being monitored.

“If I was able to tell you there was a product out there that could reduce crashes, keep your employers safer and substantially reduce the risk footprint of your organization while saving you significant dollars … Why would you not use this?” Waldinger said.

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.
