Batko
Title: How to Select the Proper Enclosure or Kiosk for Your AV and Digital Signage
Projects
Date: Wednesday October 9th
Time: 10:00 am - 10:45 am
Room: To be determine
Topic:
The growth in Digital Signage applications has increased the demand for enclosures and kiosks.
The initial priority was protection against vandalism. However; there are many other factors that
must be considered in finding the best enclosure solution for your specific project. To do this, it
is suggested you should think both inside and outside the box. Outside the box: dust, moisture,
temperature, extreme security etc... Inside the box: display and other hardware specs to be
enclosed, internal temperature control, adequate ventilation, connectivity etc.
By reviewing these factors, looking at real case studies and open dialogue, we will hopefully be
more informed.

Thinklogical manufactures IA-accredited KVM (keyboard, video & mouse) extension and
switching systems certified to manage multiple classifications of information through a single
highly-secure infrastructure.
◼ The nature of warfare has changed – events are less predictable and required response
times are in hours or even minutes
◼ Commanders need to quickly assess a vast amount of historical information and access
real time video for missions that were unknown just minutes beforehand
◼ Multiple analysts must have access to multiple sources of information at multiple
classifications and be able to quickly and freely collaborate
◼ Systems need to be easily scalable reconfigurable and mobile/deployable
Neutralization of the Insider Threat
◼ Unfettered access to classified information creates the opportunity for accidental,
negligent or intentional corruption, compromise or theft of data
◼ As information collection and storage multiplies, the possibility and impact of data
breach events grows exponentially
◼ While cyber attacks are a well-known major concern, the military and intelligence
community must have a similar level of focus on mitigating the Insider Threat

Topic: Communication in the workplace
With AV collaboration rooms and collaboration hardware and software on the rise, current CATx

forms and has become an integral part of projects, planning, and management. Employees are
more commonly using BYO style devices and are tasked with sharing content from a variety of
different operating systems often using software codecs like SKYPE or ZOOM as their means of
connecting. Solutions are emerging that make these modern workspaces simpler to install and
design. We will discuss Video over Twisted Pair, including HDBaseT, HDMI, and USB. Focus will
be placed on Recording and Streaming to remote locations followed by a discussion into the
new world of AV over IP and network infrastructure at our conclusion.

Title: Audio essentials in Video conferencing UC Solutions
Date: Thursday October 10th
Time: 2:00 pm - 2:45 pm
Room: To be determine
Topic:
Audio is the most essential element for effective remote collaboration. Without audio, other
collaborative technologies are essentially ineffective. Today's communications are wholly or
partly on the public Internet network, meaning no quality of service (QoS). If you work in a small
space with only few participants, your conferencing device may only require an embedded DSP
chip to produce quality audio. However, if you're using a large conferencing system with many
microphones and speakers, you'll need a standalone DSP appliance to handle the workload.
What are mechanisms to effectively processes all types of echo and noise suppression,
regardless of the room, to hear and to be heard from far end participants?
