Kennesaw, GA (PRWEB) September 30, 2014 -- Applied Global Technologies (AGT), a proven provider of managed and visual collaboration solutions, today announces its staff engineer has achieved Crestron® DMC-E-4K certification to support its growing Audio Visual (A/V) Integration practice. AGT’s certified A/V integration team designs, integrates and manages best-in-class collaborative environments that enhance communication, increase productivity and reduce costs for organizations.
Crestron DigitalMedia™ Certification courses, which now include 4K training, provide certified A/V professionals with the knowledge and expertise to properly employ and support digital media systems that incorporate new technology. With this 4K training provided by Crestron, AGT has the certified knowledge to design and program 4K systems, including a thorough understanding of installation requirements, system testing and reporting processes. The certification not only expands AGT’s knowledge base, but it further drives goals of creating innovative and future-proof conference room solutions for clients and partners as well.
With four times the resolution of 1080p, 4K is meeting today’s growing demand for higher image quality, driven by applications such as digital signage, visualization, medical imaging, sports and others.
