What's up, everyone? Welcome back to our VistaCom tech expos, NICE, sneak peek series with our Golden Platinum sponsors. Today, we are with one of our platinum sponsors, a true technology partner for Vista across a variety of applications. With me here is Bob Hibner. He is Regional Solutions and Consultants Manager with La Grande AV. Bob works with users of all of Lagrange products to specify or demo the solutions used in education and AV conferencing applications. And Bob has been in the field for over thirty five years prior to joining La Grande. So it's honored to have you here, Bob. Thanks for joining us. Yep. Glad to be here, Josh. Alright. So let's dive right into it. For those who don't know who Legrand is, can you tell us a little bit about the company and what your core technology offerings are? Yeah. Sure. Legrond is a manufacturer of products, of course. And the brands that we have are actually common brands that many of you heard of. Chief being one, that chief is a manufacturer of mounts. So if you're mounting displays, if you're however you wanna mount them, chief can chief can help you out with that. Indoor, outdoor, from the ceiling, from the floor, from the wall, whenever chief has a mount for what you need. The second one is mid Atlantic products. Mid Atlantic has been around for a while, mostly manufactured over in New Jersey. And these products are equipment racks, technical furniture, and power. So if you're building a system, you'll need some mid Atlantic racks or furniture. To store your equipment in. The next one is is Vodio. Vodio is PTC camera manufacturer making camera extensions and VTC solutions. So in this world where we're in where people are often doing solution engineering for for video teleconferencing, Audio has some great solutions, and we'll have some of them on display at the tech expo. Cable's to go. If you're putting you're doing any technology, you need to connect up with with cable connectivity and extension devices again. And cables to go is manufactured those products that you can use. So you could be happy to we'd be happy to go over them with you and and show you what we have and and the solutions that that'll work well for connecting your systems up. I shouldn't forget daylight daylight is been around for over a hundred years making projection screens, and prediction screens are still needed in those large venues and we have some great solutions and some interesting technology for being able to display your images on in these large format locations. And the last one is Luxol. Luxol is our AV focused IP switches, and these are designed for use in AV systems. They are POE, if you need that, manage and unmanaged switches, and we'd love to talk to you about those as well. Great. That's pretty much a summary of what we have. Yeah. No. It's a really good summary. Thanks for going over those. So, yeah, La Grande has a lot to offer. So on that note, I know you mentioned audio a little bit, but what well brand have exhibiting at the tech expo this year? Yeah. We're gonna focus on a few things in the Audio World, as I mentioned, We have we have two things that we're pretty excited about that have really kind of taken hold. One is easy IP. Ecosystem, which is basically moving your video and audio signals across IP using Dante for your audio, using the easy IP system for for video, video. We'll have that in on display and show you how that can can use. If you have a multi camera application, it works really well. It addresses the issue with extending USB come and see us, and we'll explain to you why that's important. Another thing that we'll be showing is an in the audio world is our Intelli shot camera. The Intelli shot is an auto framing camera, so you can place this in the back of a classroom, for instance, and as your instructor moves back and forth across the platform, the camera will automatically follow them. Again, stop in. We'll tell you how we do it, why we do it the way we do it, and why it's been well received in a number of schools and and educational environments. Another thing we'll we'll show is in mid Atlantic, Power systems is what we call rack link. And rack link is a remote IP accessible PDU, where you can switch, you can monitor, you can alarm on power needs in or power events in an outlet. It's used often in places where you it's hard to get to or inconvenient to get to, but you can you can stick it in the rack, and then you can get in to to monitor the power that's going on in that rack. We'll show you how that'll work as well. I guess the other thing I should say is we will have people in our booth who are involved in designing systems and putting these packages together. We like interfacing with third party. Manufacturers, so we work well with with third party groups and a lot of people there who can help explain that. Yes. Absolutely, and I can vouch for that. And I'm personally excited to see everything in person. You see a lot of it on the screen, so this will be great to be able to talk with you guys direct and see the product so thanks for being here, Bob. This is a great little sneak peek and I'm excited for the show. Yep, we are too, we look forward to being there. It's always a great event and lots of lots of good discussions, good panels, good good learning opportunities, and we're happy to be involved with it. Absolutely. Alright. Take care. Thank you.
