The ability to remotely manage AV devices regardless of your location is a huge bonus for end users and the AV industry. Paul Milligan finds out that despite the thorny issue of a lack of standards the opportunity for integrators is still a big one.

Sounds pretty sweet, eh?
Well that’s what remote management can do, and a lot else besides.
