M3, Planar, Cisco and SVSi by Harman shine at 2016 SMD Symposium Exhibition

M3 Technology Group and partners Planar, Cisco and SVSi by Harman had a terrific amount of foot traffic during all three days of the 2016 Space & Missile Defense Symposium last week, held at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville AL.

As a Registered Small Business, Cisco US Federal Specialized Partner and InfoComm APEx Certified Provider, M3 showcased a variety of Networked AV, videoconferencing and integrated ITS solutions that drew enthusiastic booth visitors to see first-hand what these technologies offer the SMD community.

Here are a few show highlight photos:

The SMD Symposium is the leading educational, professional development and networking event in the space and missile defense community and is widely attended by leaders and professionals from the United States and our allies around the world each year.  M3 was very pleased to attend this year’s show with Planar, Cisco and SVSi by Harman, and to present a complementary array of security focused, superior display, videoconferencing and video distribution technologies.

Project Spotlight: Belmont University

Theater-101This week, Mix featured a new facility at the Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business at Belmont University. M3 is proud to have been a collaborator in building the project, working with the university and industry experts to build the space:

[G]round was broken on the new 134,000-square-foot R. Milton and Denice Johnson Center in Summer 2013. Roughly 24 months later, the new Curb College debuted, with the first university-based Dolby Atmos stage in the world, pictured on this month’s cover, as its centerpiece. The building also houses a smaller film/TV mix stage, 26 edit suites, a shooting stage, green screen room, video and broadcast control rooms, a Foley stage (coming in the spring), and four computer labs. Media is shared over a 5x 64TB Avid ISIS 5500 server; interconnection is through an advanced Focusrite RedNet system.
