John Huntington and Jim Janninck’s Show Control Geekout: Special Time Code Editionfor InfoComm attendees is back this year and will be held in the training facility at Alcorn McBride’s new headquarters in MetroWest Orlando. Huntington will give an introductory presentation on time code and show synchronization then moderate a discussion addressing topics such as: Do we still need SMPTE time code? What are its advantages and drawbacks? Can we just sync systems and let them run wild? What about PTP? Can we put time code on a network? What about SMPTE’s new TLX effort? What is the future of time-based synchronization?
The Geekout will be held June 13th from 6-7.30 p.m. Social activities following the session will be announced shortly. The event is free and open to anyone interested in show control. More information can be found on the blog at controlgeek.net.

Alcorn McBride is well known for fostering a culture of camaraderie, and the staff-friendly environment includes a game room, gym, dog play area and fully-themed, media-rich Tiki Bar.
