August AVPro News

A note from AVPro Global CEO:
AVPro listens to our partners, whether it be our representatives around the world, our core group of distributors stocking products, or the installers who use products as part of their daily integration solutions. Here’s proof, we are launching two products this month that came directly from partner requests. The first is a take on our #1 extender, the EX70, now offering ARC and EDID management, you will want to learn more on that one below! Next is our ConferX switcher that was built as a bridge between old and new technology. Something that can work with legacy PC inputs like DisplayPort and VGA and their resolutions, directly alongside the 4K60 signaling we see from the latest sources and laptops. Plus, switch between them with incredible speed. What are you waiting for, start reading below!
