GARY ROSEN Job title Vice president of global sales Company Pliant Technologies
How did you get into AV? I was always interested in audio and AV and began building recording studios and engineering records while I was still in high school. I went on to begin my career as a general manager of an east- coast recording studio and later moved over to the manufacturing side. I have been with Pliant since 2007 and can regularly be found holding training seminars for customers and dealers, as well as representing the company at conventions and trade shows right across the world. What are you currently working on? At Pliant Technologies, we’re continuing to deliver wireless communications products to the ever-challenging world of production. Wireless devices are now everywhere, and RF space is getting more and more crowded with every day. Designing and manufacturing products that work well in this environment is our primary focus.
Favourite project? Our gear is used in sports broadcast production and live production events like the Super Bowl, where there are more wireless devices in one place than anyone can possibly imagine. Pliant’s solutions are especially useful during live production, as there is only one opportunity to get it right – and having pristine communication among all the production staff is crucial. What does the future hold for the AV industry? As technologies evolve, I think we will continue to see products with even more connectivity options, as well as having easier access to amazing new devices. I think there is also the potential to see new life being brought to older solutions. What advice would you give to someone starting a career in AV tech?
