Season One Finale - In Control: from IR to APIs

Twenty years ago, AV control meant a simple bit of logic and a lot of infrared codes pulled from a giant (and not necessarily trustworthy) database. Today, most devices are network-connected and controlled by an API. In this episode we'll explore what this means for the AV programmer, as well as the system designer and the system owner. Are we, as an industry, truly realizing the powerful potential that this software-defined revolution offers us? Can the traditional AV programmer keep up, or is this an opportunity to bring a new kind of talent into AV (or both)? We will answer these questions with our guest Lincoln King-Cliby, who has been programming AV systems since the days of IR.
