No Replacement for Physical Show: Sam Phenix Samantha Phenix, Chair-AVIXA Board is excited to be at the InfoComm India 2022. Coming to India, for the second time after many years and in the capacity of the high-profile Chair, she is so much pumped up about the InfoComm India tradeshow getting back physically to the BEC. “It’s wonderful to see everyone together, knowing and sharing the newer things on take in person” exults Sam, as she is fondly called in the AV industry. “You can’t replace the energy, atmosphere and the excitement of physically being at the show,” she says. “Particularly for the domain of AV, the appreciation and experience of technology is not complete unless one is physically there at the place done by that technology; and therefore, it’s incredible to be here.” Sam, a Yoga practitioner besides being a technopreneur, as it is, loves the country India for more reasons than just AV. “It’s so huge, so many languages, so diverse and intense, and at the same time so much appreciation of technology,” she elaborates. “Everyone knows India as a huge centre for Information Technology, and innovation that happens here, and the sheer entrepreneurship that is passionate to create more value.” While she relishes her (second) visit to India, and its ‘crazy tapestry’ she has her task cut out. “I’m looking forward to meeting more and

The theme & task redefined. AVIXA is at Booth CC02.

Rajesh explains that Q-Sys’ open architecture allows users to seamlessly integrate hardware, software and services to create a large ecosystem of solutions that can be enhanced as and when the need arises. And with Q-Sys enabled QSC products use intel processing, standard network protocols, simplified drag-n-drop programming, and novel and agile scripting tools; system integrators can easily design and deploy a truly comprehensive system that can be controlled through a single unified platform seamlessly, without the need for investment into any additional hardware; thereby saving on time, effort and money.
