Kramer

Full AV Over IT Ecosystem on display at InfoComm Orlando, Booth 2929

At InfoComm 2019 in Orlando, Kramer Electronics will demonstrate its unique AV ov IT approach. The company will showcase its software-centric ecosystem, AV management solutions, control and automation, networked audio and DSP, wireless collaboration & presentation and much more.

Kramer’s focus of ‘reimagining AV the IT way’ will be in full effect at the Orange County Convention Center, with solutions and demonstrations that brings AV even closer into the IT realm.

David Margolin, VP marketing for Kramer Electronics, explains: “We have structured AV so that it appeals to IT – taking into account how these departments think and how they work.”

Kramer solutions and support provides a safe path for both AV and IT professionals, providing AV consultants and integrators with a reliable route into the IP technology realm. The recently- launched Kramer Academy courses, for example, which can be completed online as well as in- person, ensures they are fully equipped with the necessary knowledge while helping to gain AVIXA CTS qualification.

“This is a whole new approach to Pro AV,” added Margolin. “We see Kramer as the connection point between AV and IT and look forward to showcasing our latest solutions at InfoComm. From scalable, cloud-based control to our first networked ceiling speaker, we are showing that IT-friendly AV gives installers the edge and provides the ultimate value for end users.”
