Video Display Systems in Live Show Environment Part One
www.livedesignonline.com: Despite the omnipresence of cloud-based streaming in our media consumption landscape, the fact remains that video display systems in the live show environment continue to rely on specialized components to store and play out media content. Those devices, which we’ll call sources, are usually co-located with other portions of the video display system at the show site and can take the form of media servers, “clip players” or, as is very often the case, a standard laptop computer.

Especially in the medium I plan to go into, this article proved useful; I also looked up the following article (part 2), and it proved similarly helpful.
When you’re playing media, the article is 100% correct, both the type of player and the player itself are incredibly important to the presentation. For a simple video-viewing experience, one could simply double-click on a video on their laptop and use their default pre-installed video player. However, say one wishes to play a ripped DVD’s files, or a DVD in general; the most efficient option here likely would not be your standard Windows Media Player or Quicktime.
Something this author does very well is his execution of this idea and organization of programs to demonstrate this point. With each category of media player, the author runs through the capabilities and purpose of the program, the ways it could be used in a professional landscape, and examples of said category. Such organization makes it very simple to understand that there is a difference between say, QLab and PowerPoint. Especially for readers who are not entirely up-to-par with their tech, this article helps a lot. However, even in the case that one knows what they’re doing regarding these programs, they may still learn something from reading this article.
