Renting Ain’t A Crime*

Cable wars heat up as Chinese powerhouses unleash GPMI—the fee-free standard that makes HDMI look like dial-up! Smart AV engineering hits the classroom in China’s education overhaul, but can degrees keep pace with real-world tech? Fake L-Acoustics gear nearly brought the house down literally as counterfeiters gambled with lives using half-strength metal components!

This week, we’re bringing in industry experts to break down the latest developments reshaping the commercial AV landscape, including the emergence of GPMI as a challenger to established cable standards, whether specialized AV degrees are the future of industry education, and how companies like L-Acoustics are fighting back against dangerous counterfeits.
