The Price of 3 DB
Pat Brown
A 3 DB LEVEL INCREASE is a modest one. Subjectively, one might describe it as being a ?tweak? to the loudness of a system. Most infrared remote controls for home entertainment systems are about 1.5 dB per step, and most people who go to the trouble to pick one up and point it will change the level by at least two steps. Quit reading and go try it now.......

Axiom Audio Ep500

I like the fact that the EP500 system offers phase control of 0 or 180 degrees.

Long-Distance AV Signal Transmission
Tim Kridel

Wide Area Conferencing
Daniel Frankel
THE POPULAR colloquialism, ?They do things big in Texas,? certainly must have a lot to do with physical geography. The University of Texas' Health Science Center (HSC), based in San Antonio, illustrates that dynamic in the way it virtually links medical, dental, and nursing teaching facilities that are spread out all over the Panhandle, in places like Laredo and down into the Rio Grande Valley as far south as Edinburg. The HSC has built a vast Polycom-based videoconferencing network, connecting more than 60 disparate rooms ? AV-equipped classrooms, lecture halls, labs, and auditoriums, spread out all over South Texas. And it controls it all over a single wide-area network (WAN) from a head-end location on the main campus in San Antonio....
