"This project has moved along, with manufacturer and design-consultant support," says InfoComm's Lemke. "Now, as schools start the process of figuring out how they're going to do their control programming, they can download a PDF with examples, design principles, and even a template that they can use to guide them and their system integrators."

Though this initiative is not new, in the end, it is the push for standards that may prove to be the most significant innovation in the AV controller space. The question now is: As interactive whiteboard competitors vie for installation sites, and features and capabilities proliferate, will standardization become essential there, too? Only time will tell.
