Last week we attended ISE in Amsterdam.
ISE (Integrated Systems Europe) 2014. (http://www.iseurope.com) (10-12 Feb 2015)
ISE is a pan-European forum for Audio-Visual and electronic equipment integration into installed environments. This includes both commercial and educational settings. It is the world’s largest event for this market, with in excess of 50,000 attendees.
It includes: seminars, professional training (Infocomm, Cedia), trade show, supplier meetings, networking (contacts), product launches, meeting colleagues from other Universities etc.
ISE is a huge event. It consists of Trade Show, Professional Development Conference, Training Conference and Product Launch venue. Virtually every equipment manufacturer that supplies the Framework suppliers are in attendance. There were in excess of 1000 companies and thousands of reps.
There were no great product ‘leaps’ at the show. There is more development by manufacturers to produce 4K images, network standards and image processing.
4K is interesting in the fact that there is not a lot of content available at the moment. Once there is, then it will be interesting to address what use it could be.
There are (apparently) over 150 Audio and Video standards/protocols. This is obviously excessive, and appears to be cultivated by the industry. This will likely reduce in the coming years.
