Wow, It Was InfoComm
ICIA's renowned show didn't disappoint
by Gary Kayye, CTS
Topping 20,000, again, ICIA’s renowned InfoComm show certainly didn’t disappoint. Although most dealers and manufacturers claimed that they brought fewer people than they did last year to the show, end users obviously took up the slack.

Three P’s in a Pod
New projectors balance portability with price and power
By David English
What’s the classic strategy for buying a projector? It can best be summed up as: portability, price, power—choose any two. Think of it as the “three peas in a pod” problem. The pod can hold only two of the peas, so you have to choose the two most important ones. Fortunately, the pod is expanding as technology improves, so there will be fewer compromises as time goes by.

How can you manage your most important resource?
Edited by Steven Klapow
It’s an exciting time for media producers who work with new presentation technology. The lines of the past, separating the video producer and the IT network administrator, have all but disappeared. The traditional AV department has become an environment where IP addresses and network bandwidth have replaced time code and analog Betacam, and online editing has morphed into streaming video. How we reached this point is neither surprising nor unexpected. Interestingly, the significance of our hardware may be less important than previously thought. It’s the people—our most important resource—and how we manage them that are vital to our success.

The Elements of Style
Design that inspires from Cooper-Hewitt's National Design Triennial
By Beth Marchant
Editor in Chief
W hether in print, online or in motion, good design is the agent of effective communication. The second "National Design Triennial: Inside Design Now" at the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, attempts the impossible by summarizing the best in contemporary design from the often referential fields of architecture, interior and product design, fashion, graphic design, motion graphics and new media design. The images on these pages are only a sampling of the more than 300 objects, models, photographs, films and renderings that cover two floors of the museum’s galleries at 2 East 91st Street in New York City. The exhibition, which opened in late April and runs through January 25, 2004, is curated by Ellen Lupton, the museum’s curator of contemporary design, Donald Albrecht, the museum’s curator of exhibitions, and guest curators Susan Yelavich and Mitchell Owens.
