Video: Acentech Receives PRO AV Spotlight Award, Call for Entries Now Open
Last summer at InfoComm 2009 in Orlando, we were delighted to be a part of the informal awards ceremony for the 2nd Annual PROAV Spotlight Awards.
The editors of PRO AV and ARCHITECT, in partnership with InfoComm International, created the program to recognize the industry’s best professional audiovisual installations.
Acentech, one of our AV partners, received the 2009 PRO AV Spotlight Award for Best Education AV Project, which included the integration of the Mediasite lecture capture platform into Alter Hall at Temple University’s Fox School of Business.
Here’s a quick 2-minute interview with both Brad Grimes, editor of PRO AV, and Larry Philbrick, supervisory consultant at Acentech.
“Alter Hall exemplifies cutting edge smart technology for higher education, giving students access to advanced educational technology and new learning tools. Acentech is proud to have been a part of the integrated design team. We are honored to be recognized with the PRO AV Spotlight award alongside the Fox School of Business, as well as Sonic Foundry, the leaders in lecture capture.”

And here’s more info about lecture capture at Fox School of Business, PRO AV’s write up “Blueprint for University AV” featuring Temple’s Alter Hall, and a list of all 15 of the 2009 winners. “They employ the latest AV technology, be it HD-SDI video distribution or capacitive touch navigation. They’re the result of successful coordination among AV integrator, consultant, architect, end user, and other parties. And they demonstrably enhance the lives, businesses, education, spirituality, and enjoyment of the winners’ clients and their clients’ clients,” wrote PRO AV Editor Brad Grimes. Hear hear.
The call for entries for the 2010 PRO AV Spotlight Awards is now open - entry deadline is March 1, 2010 and you can apply online (and note the same is true for our very own Rich Media Impact Awards, due the same day - if you dig the PRO AV awards you might be right for our Facility Design category).
