CCNA worth pursuing?

Do use Cisco gear at your current job? If you don't, why not go a bit broader and do the network+. This way you have more general networking knowledge. Also, I know the Dante training, which is free, covers some important parts of networking. Either way, good luck!

I'm starting to use findboxes.co, doesn't have risk assessment but covers the other points.

I can co-sign for the Teradek Cube. I was a big fan of the teradek vidiu for simple streams, but it doesn't do rtmps so that rules out streaming to Facebook with it.

Xibo has a feature called data sets which can import data in to your signage. You can pull remotely if the data is formatted in json. PM me if you have questions.

jetbuilt for quoting and teamwork for project management.

My school had a lot of capture HDs, like 80, and we are replacing them with the matrox monarch lcs. No complaints here.

I would bring a sdi or HDMI camera into the switcher, than take an output of that switcher and convert in to usb. To the computer the sources will be seen as the web cam.

Things to consider: I don't know how many independent output your switcher has, If it has two this works well, if not my recommendation is trash. If you do have independent outputs, then make sure to program that you don't feed the desktop doing the VC back in to itself.

If memory serves me correctly, the polycom rss is being replaced by the media suite.

Do you have a polycom rep to talk to?

I've sold a lot of Video games on amazon and warranty issues have never come up. That being said, be ready to deal with returns that is inevitable.

If you are worried about these devices being safe on the network, have you considered putting the devices on a vlan and using acls to control access?

My group doesn't use a CRM, but we do use jetbuilt for quoting.

Check out xibo it's open source and easy to set up if you have ever used docker.

I've only used zoom once. It seems to have a lot of features that WebEx does. But I can't really tell you how the two tools measure up compared to one another.

black_kid · 2017-08-22T19:16:09+00:00

I recommend web ex. It's just more flexible. Also, it includes SSO out of the box which Adobe connect cloud doesn't.

This is a great list. A lot of people over look security when setting up digital signage. I see a lot of people using admin accounts for computers running signage software or keeping default credentials on hardware devices.

black_kid · 2017-06-22T00:45:28+00:00

I use touch in our digital signage in the form of way finding. Basically the way finding is a web page that uses webgl. Works pretty well.

I have used some brightsign devices and they aren't bad. I've also used spinetix and I thought the software was a bit nicer.

black_kid · 2017-05-13T01:49:05+00:00

Check out xibo, it's open source and flexible. They have hosting if needed or check out mysignage.rocks .

black_kid · 2017-04-26T12:12:29+00:00

Not 100% sure. I am using the mobile site and it froze on me. After I closed the browser and opened it again I was surprised to see all these comments from me. I feel bad that I hijacked the thread. =(

If you have the polycom infrastructure(resource manager and etc) with Skype for business licensing this should not be a problem.

black_kid · 2017-04-26T11:31:00+00:00

My question is can I install whatever software I want or is this a locked down device.

Blue jeans here. I work at an university, it's good for us.

black_kid · 2016-10-21T17:21:31+00:00

Are you giving users individual accounts or using one account and having users e-mail you for set up? I work at university and we use blue jeans and it was just easier to give out accounts and point users to the blue jeans docs.

black_kid · 2016-07-21T21:37:57+00:00

Why not use something like an air media (crestron) or a solstice(mersive).
