Time for a 2014 recap. It’s been an interesting AV year, the burgeoning DIY smart home market, the rise of 4k/UHD displays, over-the-top video content, the fight for Net Neutrality and much more.

Show Notes:

Release Date: December 25, 2014

Running Time: 51:24



It’s that time of year again, and we at AV Shop Talk would like to extend our warmest Holiday wishes to you and yours. With the end of 2014 in sight we thought we would use this episode take a step back and asses the big picture. Numerous themes dotted the landscape in the world of Pro AV and systems integration this year. In this show we re-cap what we think were the biggest stories. More importantly we offer our thoughts on what the implications are for AV pros and consumers alike.  Main topics of conversation include:

The burgeoning DIY smart home market
All things 4K / UHD
The continued march of “Over the Top” video content
The battle of the big boys (Apple, Amazon, and Google) to dominate media distribution
Net neutrality
and more…

To close the show we make some predictions about what 2015 will bring. So sit back, pour yourself a cup of good cheer, and enjoy our latest episode! We at AV Shop Talk wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year! See you in 2015!
