Is Higher Ed AV a type of Professional AV? There certainly are enough universities acting as in-house integrators, but we know it isn’t always that cut and dry. The fact that a university paid for a boundary mic on a pole tells us there is still work to be done. Seriously, a boundary mic on a camera extension pole, and people are proud enough to make press releases about it.
What are some indicators you look for when you are talking to other universities to determine that they have their ducks in a row? Internal programming staff? What about industry certifications and an emphasis on training? What’s important and what’s just noise.
And how does the rest of Pro AV see Higher Ed AV? (Here’s a hint: letting someone charge you to put boundary mics on poles stuck to the ceiling doesn’t help our image) How have we had to prove ourselves to architects, consultants, manufactures, and integrators to ensure they’re listening to us?
