CISCO ACQUIRES TANDBERG

MASTERING MILLWORK MANAGEMENT
I frequently get asked what is the most difficult portion of managing an AV project, and believe me, I’ve managed several very large scale projects, including ground up skyscrapers packed with 40-plus floors of AV systems, a Conference Center, Trading Floors, TV Studio, Cafeteria, and Fitness Center — projects which took years to complete.
So you know what’s the most painful and difficult part of the project? Millwork coordination. -Christopher Maione
WHEN EVERY WORD MATTERS
Eleven years after the U.N. International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda began recording its trial proceedings, the ICTR will migrate its video recordings to highresolution digital video files. In partnership with Front Porch Digital (FPD), the Tribunal expects to permanently preserve 30,000 hours of footage from the ICTR for Rwanda before the mandate’s scheduled conclusion in December.
The Tribunal digitized 10,000 hours of audio files in house between mid- 2008 and March 2010. -Virginia Rubey
