Federal government requirements aren’t the same as those for commercial AV installations. The drivers, constraints, and consequences of choosing the right technology from the right partner are fundamentally different.
Sourcing rejections and compliance gaps don't just delay projects; they kill them. And once installed in command centers, situation rooms, or intelligence community facilities, failure isn’t an inconvenience; it's an operational and strategic liability.
That’s why Christie® Secure Series III is designed for the realities of federal procurement and delivers secure displays for all levels of government and the military.
Unlike most commercial LCD displays, which are adapted for secure environments through software patches and configuration policies, Secure Series III eliminates attack layers and is purpose-built for environments where data protection, operational reliability, and continuous performance are non-negotiable.
A fully TAA-compliant display solution, Secure Series III meets NDAA requirements by eliminating prohibited components and restricted technologies at the source and removing procurement risks before they can happen.
Secure Series III LCD displays are engineered to reduce risks for the most secure, mission-critical environments. That’s not a positioning statement. It’s an architectural commitment by design. Download our tech brief to learn more.
If D-Tools dealers seek more installation flexibility and versatility for their outdoor audio projects, they can turn to Coastal Source’s Razor and Pathfinder loudspeakers.
Each delivers high-quality audio engineered to Defy the Elements™ and elevate the luxury outdoor music experience. Featuring design-forward form factors, Razor speakers are often mounted to walls and structures, while Pathfinders sit on the ground and fill any coverage gaps so connected outdoor zones immerse listeners in consistent sound all around.
Besides wall mounting, these sleek speakers can be placed under eaves and overhangs to serve up sound from above, and you can even merge four adjacent Razors to form a planter with omnidirectional audio. Plus, the recently released Razor Backlight accessory lets integrators add soft ambient light to the Razor speaker.
Pathfinder, meanwhile, provides sound from all sides of its curved, low-profile footprint. The brown speaker can be installed discreetly along paths, among gardens, dotting hardscapes, and mounted on structures so homeowners don’t have to worry about “seeing” their sound.
As an attractive bonus for clients’ outdoor tech designs, Pathfinder also enables integrators to add Coastal Source lighting on top to create a truly unique, multifunctional solution.

Everything you thought you knew about one-inch downlights? DMF Lighting just changed it.
Introducing Artafex 1 — the first one-inch architectural downlight designed for whole-home applications, which debuted at Lightapalooza 2026. One-inch fixtures have always meant compromise: limited output, glare, accent-only use. Not anymore.
Artafex 1 delivers up to 1,000 lumens with virtually zero glare, powered by the industry's only 3-Stage Optic (patent pending) in a one-inch fixture. Precision glass and silicone optics deliver exceptional clarity across ambient, task, and accent applications — throughout the entire home.
A 35-degree adjustable beam with precision gear-drive tilt gives designers pinpoint control and locks securely in place, even during hot aiming. Consistent, repeatable results every time.
And installation couldn't be smarter. One remote driver powers up to five fixtures from up to 100 feet away, and the light cartridge is fully serviceable from below the ceiling.
Virtually invisible aperture. Uncompromised performance. Complete residential lighting — from a one-inch fixture.
Artafex 1 isn't just a new product. It's a new standard.

20 Years of Seamless Smart Home Integration
For 20 years, IC Realtime has helped define what seamless smart home integration should look like. Our approach has never been about theoretical compatibility; it’s been shaped by real field installations. By designing surveillance systems that work natively within leading automation platforms like Savant, Josh.ai, Control4, Crestron, and Elan, we make it easy for installers to deliver a truly connected experience.
Our complete surveillance systems are built to seamlessly integrate with the platforms professionals already use. That means no unnecessary workarounds, no added layers of complexity, and no sacrificing performance to achieve integration. Instead, installers can streamline their workflow, reduce configuration challenges, and avoid compatibility issues that slow projects down. The result is faster deployment, less troubleshooting, and a more confident installation process.
What sets IC Realtime apart is reliability inside the ecosystem. Surveillance isn’t just an add-on, it’s a critical component of the modern smart home. Customers who invest in Savant, Josh.ai, Control4, Crestron, or Elan expect every connected device to operate cohesively within their chosen platform. Our systems are engineered to meet that expectation, delivering high-performance video while preserving the integrity of the overall automation experience.
Two decades of partnership with trusted brands have allowed us to refine an integration strategy centered on long-term value. Installers gain more than a security solution; they gain a dependable system that enhances the smart home environment, supports repeat business, and strengthens referrals.
After 20 years, our commitment remains the same: professional-grade surveillance, purpose-built for seamless integration and lasting customer satisfaction.

NETGEAR Engage Controller is a free, portable software application that centrally manages NETGEAR AV switches (M4250, M4300, M4350, M4500), the PR460X Pro Router, and WiFi 7 access points from a single interface. Engage automates multicast, VLANs, QoS, and inter-VLAN routing through certified AV profiles backed by 530+ manufacturer partnerships, automatically applying the right settings for Dante, NDI, NVX, Q-SYS, IPMX and so many more. Through a live topology map, teams can verify their work instantly.
Version 2.4 introduces a truly game-changing feature: offline provisioning. Now integrators can build and configure a complete network without any physical hardware present. You can create a fully virtual site from scratch, or add virtual devices to an existing one, then push configurations to real hardware on arrival via Auto-Onboard or manual assignment by serial number or MAC address. Virtual sites save as reusable templates, making repeat deployments faster and more consistent.
For integrators running multiple projects, the practical impact is straightforward: less time configuring on-site, less downtime for end customers, and a more standardized process across the team.
NETGEAR Engage 2.4 is available as a free download at netgear.com/engage-download. It doesn’t require installation and runs on Windows or macOS, even from a flash drive.

In the AI era, technology parity is making it harder for organizations to stand out. One proven differentiator is collaboration: IDC research conducted with Shure found that organizations that invest strategically in collaboration tools can improve decision-making, alignment, and overall performance—especially when teams are distributed. But simply “having the tools” isn’t enough; solutions that don’t match how people actually work can create friction, slow decisions, and waste time.
To help leaders match collaboration technology to real operational needs, IDC identifies four collaboration archetypes. Electronic organizations have structured, predictable workflows and benefit from solutions that enable independent work with clear oversight. Jazz organizations operate in stable environments but collaborate intensely across functions, requiring flexible, always-on meeting experiences. Orchestral organizations face high workplace and collaboration complexity, so they need adaptable spaces and centralized management to move fast. Rock organizations are stable and routine-driven, so simplicity and reliability matter most.
