The AV-iQ database (originally built by InfoComm/AVIXA and now owned by NewBay) provides a central, searchable destination for current data on thousands of AV products. The AV-iQ research metrics are as bot-free as we can make them. So here are the top 15 most-searched products across all AV categories for 2017. What does this list tell you?
Pros like clean power because they understand that noise is yucky and ruins enjoyment of audio and video. This surge/noise system provides isolation between the two isolated outlet banks so that any noise created by an A/V component in one bank cannot contaminate the power to the other. Among other things.
I have this. It works great with Alexa Dot. “Alexa, turn Denon on”.
As you will see in the coming pages, surge matters. This is a little 4320 joule number with 12 outlets.
Is this what AV pros are wearing at home, or just what they hope to wear? Either way this was the most popular VR product by a long way. (Does it come with a Snuggie?)
I was one of the people who searched for this. I want a quiet motor for my automated drapes. Apparently lots of other people do too.
I know, you were expecting a rock speaker. But this was Sonance’s most-searched product by a big margin. Easy to mount vertically or horizontally (pictured 🙂 Surround compatible when paired with SST/SUR speakers.
Because AV pros climb under tables and desks and behind cabinets and to plug things in that they can barely reach. This slim surge/noise protector has six rotating, swiveling plugs; it snaps into an existing wall outlet. Locks down. I could go on about all the headaches it solves, but you can read about it at AV-iQ.
Cables are king. This was our most-searched cable. High connectivity bare copper conductors, PO insulation and PVC jacket. Sequential footage marking every two feet (thank you). Suitable for direct burial, indoor/outdoor, in-wall and outdoor.
Am I surprised that pros searched for this? No I am not. It’s 1RU of stadium-style insurance against the grid’s little surprises up to 6000V/3000V. It has multiple industrial-grade always-on outlets for your multiple gear; coax protection.
This affordable projector brings the 4K UHD HDR10 DCI-P3 experience home; supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 so in theory there are fewer connectivity headaches. Looks nice. Gaming ready for your home gaming habit. TI chips inside; CTA compliant. Optoma projectors overall were highly searched.
More infrastructure from CISCO for next-gen voice and video. Triple-play (voice, video, data) with what CISCO calls innovative security and QOS features. Hot-swappable.
Tru2way/OCAP compliant with the capability of controlling 5 devices of Cable Set-top Box, TV, Audio device, DVD, and an Auxiliary device. The UR5-9000L-IP is designed to operate IPTV set-top boxes and consists of 4 custom programmable macro buttons.
At AV-iQ set top box are the rage, specifically CISCO’s range of Explorer boxes, but also DVB and the 1000 and 4000 series.
More surge. (They also searched for the 825VAC version of this). Snap AV thought this through for them: battery is stronger than the commercial grade, AC outlets can handle 600 VAC (or 825) and are spaced for transformer plugs. Keyhole mounting slots, enlarged the LCD display. And more.
Most searched. Wireless HDMI. Sports an all-new all-glass optical system. 15,000:1 contrast; quiet, with lens shift, BenQ’s “BrilliantColor” tech (plus other color innovations) and “CinemaMaster Audio”. Good projector for the color-picky, for people who want flexibility in image size, zoom and throw, (100” Image from just 8.4’) and for those who want portability.
