Key Insights:

  1. MapRight serves as a real estate asset management and real estate transaction tool.
  2. The visual power of maps serves as a creative, useful, and successful tool in presenting critical information to others.
  3. Sending, receiving, and creating maps allows users to further adapt to the remote world.

Maps have been used, stored, and sometimes revered, for centuries. Their importance cannot be overstated. Mapright, a real estate transaction and real estate asset management mapping platform, knows the value of utilizing maps to present, understand, and view critical data points.

CEO Steve Roberson discusses the advantages of using maps in the workplace, how maps help shape the COVID-impacted working environment through building interaction, and how MapRight is set to change the GIS industry.

Read Steve’s Thoughts:

Hi, my name is Steve Roberson. I’m the CEO for MapRight and I’m here to talk with Marketscale. Everybody needs to know about MapRight because we’re the mapping platform to use for any real estate transaction. We’re also the mapping platform to use for any real estate asset management project too. And our goal is to change the way real estate is understood, managed, and marketed.

Our interactive and mobile maps are a revolutionary way to present a tremendous amount of critical information about a property or project to your colleagues, clients, and prospective buyers. We want to make map creation, simple, fun, and quick.

This gives the informally trained professional who needs maps for their job, the power to create cutting-edge, compelling professional maps in a matter of minutes. Trends we expect to continue to see, specific to MapRight, is we continue to expect to see the rapid adoption of MapRight throughout various real estate market segments.

In general with mapping, I would expect web and mobile mapping to become more powerful in addition to its performance capabilities with big data and for the adoption of interactive and mobile mapping applications to continue to grow at a rapid pace. Our industry changed with COVID as many did. The adoption of online communication tools rapidly advanced during these past two years.

We’ve also seen this with our business: the ability for our subscribers to easily send fully interactive maps to clients and allow those colleagues to use those maps for presentations, collaboration, and on their mobile device onsite has helped many people adapt to the current remote work climate everybody now lives in.

And what are we excited the most about in 2022? Well, we’re always working on new features for MapRight so we’re always excited but this year is special for us because we’re kicking off a new evolution of MapRight, which is something that I personally dreamed about for many years. This next evolution of the platform, it will be truly unique in the GIS world, and this time I believe we will fundamentally change the way GIS is used in business.

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

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

Adtechno launched the $1,499 DAV-03SBL for Intel SDM-L displays and projectors, per rAVe [PUBS]. It puts the endpoint inside the display. That cuts edge boxes but makes switching, power, and device management decide the outcome.

  • 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 (as specified by Adtechno via rAVe [PUBS]) makes uplink planning and multicast policy more important than HDMI extenders in many builds.
  • 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.

IBC2026 Previews Show Vendors Pitching Orchestration Platforms

IBC2026 Previews Show Vendors Pitching Orchestration Platforms

Pre-show coverage of IBC2026, held September 11-14 in Amsterdam, shows several vendors including Telestream, PlayBox Neo and Zixi framing announcements around workflow orchestration and hybrid transport reliability rather than single products. Separately, NewscastStudio reported EverPass expanded its Netflix-linked deal to distribute the full NFL slate to bars and restaurants.

  • 01Telestream, PlayBox Neo, and Zixi are leading with orchestration and resilience messaging ahead of IBC2026 in Amsterdam, September 11-14.
  • 02Verify orchestration and resilience claims through vendor documentation, reference calls, and hands-on evaluation before committing to platforms.
  • 03Request documented API boundaries, interoperability testing evidence, and failure detection demonstrations rather than relying on marketing descriptions.
