Extron Launches Digital Design Workshop

Anaheim, California (July 16, 2012) - Extron Electronics is pleased to announce it has developed a new Extron Workshop to be held at various locations across Europe. The Extron Workshop: Designing Digital Systems That Work is a one-day event for system designers and integrators that focuses on the practical aspects of designing digital AV systems. Instructors from the award-winning Extron Institute program provide a full day of training and real world demonstrations on how to solve common digital AV challenges by integrating a wide range of products such as cables and equalizers, extenders, signal processors, switchers, matrix switchers, and XTP Systems into system designs. The first Workshops will start in September 2012.

"The Workshop concentrates on the practicalities of system design and integration, sharing all the valuable lessons we've learned in the lab and in the field during our long history with digital technologies,” says Andrew Edwards, President of Extron. "As I promised, we're reaching out to you, our customers, with more places and ways to learn about Extron digital technologies and products to grow your business."

The Extron Workshop, Designing Digital Systems That Work, offers AV professionals help with understanding the challenges in designing and integrating digital solutions for today's AV systems. While the well-know Extron Institute Training Programs cover theory and overall elements of AV integration, Extron Workshop instruction centers on identification of digital AV system design criteria from concept to setup and configuration for a wide range of real-world scenarios. Additionally, coursework explores how to integrate a variety of devices and technologies into a working digital application, and methods to expand system designs in anticipation of future needs and technologies. Extron instructors also cover troubleshooting techniques for digital systems, demonstrating how to determine the point of failure in a given application, and the proper solution to correct it.

Live demonstrations of digital products are presented throughout the event to foster practical design and integration knowledge. The Workshop also serves as an introduction to our newest products for AV streaming, audio DSP, fiber optics, and signal distribution, providing the opportunity to learn first-hand about the latest Extron products in a focused, interactive environment.

This one-day Workshop will be held in September at Extron training facilities in England, France, and Germany, and at the Extron European headquarters in The Netherlands. Additional dates and locations will be announced soon for Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
