KNews Weekly
The Economy - Part 4
By Gary Kayye, CTS
In March, I did a series of columns on the economy and its impact, up to that time, on the market. At that time, the companies that were feeling the economic downturn were the so-called box houses and the rental/staging firms. Well, now the integrators are feeling it.


Product Spotlight
SmartPanel Video Projector Controller
by Denise Harrison, Producer
How many times do customer support teams for dealers and integrators answer calls from users who can't make the right connections? How many projectors have hand-written instructions taped on the wall next to them? Even the most sophisticated of us hate fumbling around with connections. SmartPanel from SP Controls, now shipping nationwide, is designed to make connections easier for even the newest of users.

Site of the Week
Unicity Networks Convention
Using a 70-foot Opera Cyc, a massive backdrop made of fabric, Image Technical Services projected larger-than-life video and graphics to an international audience of nearly 3,000 attending this year's Unicity Network's North American National Convention. Unicity Network is a nutritional products manufacturer and distributor.

From Our User Forum
Problem: With many combo scaler/seamless switchers today, I notice a "lag" in the image whenever live video with some motion is present. It almost looks like the image is "stroboscopic" and can be quite bothersome. Even with the scaler set to "synchronize" off of the NTSC video input, this problem remains present, though slightly reduced, apparently because the video projectors are still expecting a refresh rate of 60 Hz, and video is coming in at 29.97 fps.
