Hot Topic - Audio Protocols, Open Standards with Greg Schlechter of Time Coordinated Networks and Systems

This episode of Surroundscapes welcomes former Intel technologist and principal consultant Greg Schlechter for a wide-ranging conversation about the technological transformations reshaping the AV industry. Drawing on decades of experience in networking, standards, and distributed computing, Greg and Graeme explore the evolution of networked AV, the convergence of AV and IT, and the shift from dedicated hardware toward software, cloud, and edge-based systems. They also examine the growing impact of AI, open standards, cybersecurity, and broadcast technologies—and why greater collaboration across companies, disciplines, and industries will be essential as AV enters its next era.
