Watermark Church in Dallas hosted The Porch’s Awaken Conference during the labor day weekend, with over 4,000 attendees. It was the ideal location for this event, as it had a perfect setup where young adults could immerse themselves in the events. The event was held in many rooms and outside of the church, and required a large auditorium seating over 4,000 people. Watermark Church allowed Awaken to be the cutting-edge party atmosphere young adults can relate to.
Awaken is a Christian conference aimed at young adults to help them find and deepen their faith. Awaken needed to be fun and relevant to young adults while providing the audience with events and content they could get excited about.
Just Add Power, a leader in AV-over-IP distribution, today announced that the company will be introducing its new Advanced Matrix Programmer (AMP) software for multicast switching systems at InfoComm 2021, taking place Oct. 27-29 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
Just Add Power's AMP software is designed for environments with existing infrastructure or special network requirements that don't allow for a dedicated AV distribution switch. AMP consolidates and streamlines the process of setting up individual Just Add Power devices — discovering them on the local network, presenting them in a list, and allowing installers to name them, configure their IP addresses, and assign channels to transmitters — while assisting with updates when new firmware is released. Once the Just Add Power system is configured, AMP provides a user interface to control source switching.
BenQ, an internationally renowned provider of visual display solutions, today announced that its LK936ST 4K golf simulator projector has earned a major accolade from Projector Central, the world's largest projector resource.

With its painless setup and exclusive Golf Color Mode, it's easy to create the best home golf simulator anywhere. Plus, its superb picture makes it ideal for home theater and gaming as well."

Pathway Innovations, Inc, an innovative technology leader in the education and enterprise markets, today announced that its revolutionary eGlass illuminated glass writing board will be making its long-awaited InfoComm debut. An all-in-one communications tool featuring a built-in camera and adjustable LED lighting, eGlass merges the presenter's face and writing, along with presentation media, into a single picture for in-person or remote collaboration. At booth 3943, Pathway will demonstrate how to jump-start engagement with the award-winning solution, while giving away 20 units to booth visitors over the course of the show.
"When you write on a whiteboard and turn your back to your audience, you lose the valuable face-to-face connection that's critical for engagement," said Bayley Pierson, eGlass director of marketing. "And when you turn to your audience, you're no longer facing the content on the board. eGlass represents a transformative change in collaboration technology by providing a transparent surface on which presenters can write while facing the audience. It draws participants in with the presenter's facial expressions, body language, and gestures, while allowing the presenter to watch the audience's faces to gauge interest and understanding."
