Tuesday, August 24th, 2010Alcorn McBride in Sound & Communications
Friday, August 6th, 2010In the July edition of Sound and Communications, Eric Wolfram from Integrisys Group writes about the recent upgrades to Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry.
“…In designing the AV system, we were quite aware of the museum’s need for something far more reliable than the typical commercial or residential project. ‘We are open 364 days a year and this system has to work on all of those days,’ Beckman told us. ‘It has to have almost no maintenance and be simple to use: We want to just turn it on at the beginning of the day and then everything has to be automated from there.’ To meet the requirement for reliability, we used a solid-state, V16+ show controller from Alcorn McBride, with the video itself stored on two one-gigabyte flash cards, rather than tape, DVD or a even hard drive…”

InfoComm 2010 has ended!
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010Or has it? The week after a trade show is a critical time. It can go one of two ways. You can sit back and say “Phew! What a week! I am glad that’s over,” or you can say “Phew! What a week! I can’t wait to get started!” So which are you?
I must admit I am a bit relieved the show is over. We launched new products, held training sessions, and met with clients after hours. If you have exhibited at a trade show you can relate when I say it’s a lot of deadline driven work. So yeah, it feels great to have it behind me. BUT by far the best part of exhibiting at the trade show is reaping the rewards of your hard work. We already got started! The contacts, project leads, and product feedback are more than icing on the cake…it is the reason why we do trade shows in the first place!

Happy Holidays Your Way!
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009I hesitated writing a holiday blog post. It seems as if the typical “Happy Holidays from us to you” (although pleasant and sincere) seems a bit overdone to me. So my holiday greetings come with a thought in mind: have it your way. Use this holiday season to do whatever it is that is the most important to you. For me, it’s all about my children…relishing what very well may be my last “Santa” year with our young believers. I also have a Mom who likes to take over the holidays and do “mom” things. A chance for me to put my feet up! Think a moment…what’s your holiday thing?
