The Microsoft Monopoly Problem | AVWeek 757

“MDEP fixes Android for enterprise.” That’s the promise. But is putting Microsoft at the center of your display strategy a smart move or a long-term lock-in? And, broadcast-grade production isn’t just for TV trucks anymore… it’s showing up in everyday AV installs. The video version of this podcast can be found here. This week, Tim Albright and his panel of industry experts return with another essential AVWeek episode focused on the realities shaping commercial AV. They share candid perspectives on MDEP’s move into displays and what that means for integrators and IT teams and explore the rising role of broadcast workflows in AV systems and how this shift is redefining expectations for performance and user experience.
