The big topic is Q-SYS NVM, the new network video distribution platform aimed at larger-scale deployments where ultra-low latency is less important than getting lots of video to lots of displays without melting the network\u2026 or the budget. The panel digs into bandwidth, latency, PTP timing, frame lock, USB bridging possibilities, sports books, cruise ships, theme parks, and why programming an entire demo system in under two minutes is either impressive or deeply suspicious. They also take a look at the new Q-SYS meeting room options, including the MTR-on-Windows conference bar, modular room kits, light-touch provisioning, QR-code onboarding, Cheetos mode, and the eternal danger of throwing away the box too soon. From there, the conversation wanders into performance audio, free design services, questionable speaker arrays, and the higher-ed pain of walking across campus just to plug HDMI back in. It\u2019s part product discussion, part therapy session, and part live proof that \u201csingle pane of glass\u201d remains both the dream and the punchline.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Connect with our guests:   Mike Brandes https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mikebrandesav\/   David Maksa https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/david-maksa-05527322\/   &amp;nbsp; Q-SYS products discussed   NVM https:\/\/www.qsys.com\/products\/q-sys\/video\/nvm-series\/   Room Suite Collaboration Bar  https:\/\/www.qsys.com\/products\/q-sys\/roomsuite\/roomsuite-collaboration-bar\/   Room Suite Modular System  https:\/\/www.qsys.com\/products\/q-sys\/roomsuite\/roomsuite-modular-system\/   Performance Audio line  https:\/\/www.qsys.com\/products\/loudspeakers\/installed\/passive\/performance\/pl-series\/   &amp;nbsp; Alternate show titles:   Teach and preach spaces   Get up on that mic   10-4, good buddy   Try to do the entire thing with no mouse   I\u2019m sure there\u2019s an entitlement involved   Saddle up your horses   Wizard-based configuration&amp;nbsp;   Take away scissors from people who are running   We all love our science fair product line   I had some chicken tenders   &amp;nbsp; We stream live every Friday at about 315p Eastern\/1215p Pacific and you can listen to everything we record over at AVSuperFriends.com&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; \u2580\u2584\u2580\u2584\u2580 CONTACT LINKS \u2580\u2584\u2580\u2584\u2580 \u25ba Website:  https:\/\/www.avsuperfriends.com \u25ba Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/avsuperfriends \u25ba LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/avsuperfriends \u25ba YouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@avsuperfriends \u25ba Bluesky: https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/avsuperfriends.bsky.social \u25ba Email: mailbag@avsuperfriends.com \u25ba RSS: https:\/\/avsuperfriends.libsyn.com\/rss &amp;nbsp; Donate to AVSF: https:\/\/www.avsuperfriends.com\/support ","author_name":"AV SuperFriends","author_url":"https:\/\/www.avsuperfriends.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/41686375\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/203073630"}
