[Music] Hello, I'm Eric Jingst, enterprise architect at FORTÉ. I want to spend a couple minutes talking to you about how AV over IP is changing the game for enterprise AV. For years, AV has been the odd system out, if you will. It's spoken its own language using proprietary connectors, cabling, configuration methods, things that don't really align with typical IT standards or practices. The result is slower deployments, higher support costs, and really systems that don't scale or change as business needs change. AV over IP is changing that by bringing audio and video under the same IP framework that IT teams already know. This allows for greater flexibility and monitoring and security. But it's not without its own challenges. How do you structure VLANs, for example, or what devices may land on a corporate network versus an isolated AV network? Or is there a place for an isolated switch? What ports or protocols or multicast settings are required to ensure stability? That's where expertise comes in. At FORTÉ, we help organizations design and support AV networks that scale right alongside IT environments with visibility, stability, and security built right in. AV over IP is making AV easier to manage today and ensuring scalability for the future. Learn more at ourforte.com. [Music]
