LANG STORY SHORT - The AV-Podcast

Chances are you have already seen e-paper today and had no idea. From supermarket shelf labels to e-readers, the technology has been part of daily life for years, quietly and mostly unnoticed. But e-paper has grown far beyond black and white screens, and its potential now reaches into signage, architecture, automotive design and even musical instruments.


In this episode, Jonas Maier, responsible for Sales and Marketing Europe at E Ink, joins Anton to talk about how e paper actually works, why it consumes almost no power once an image is set, and what has changed technologically to bring colour, larger formats and wider temperature ranges into reach. They also look ahead: where might e-paper show up next? On the street, in a car, or somewhere far less expected?


LANG Story Short is the podcast for everyone interested in the world of professional AV technology, brought to you by LANG AG.

The summer festival season is well on its way, and with it comes a familiar question: how much technology does an experience actually need?


In this episode, our host Daniel sits down with Omar Serna, an AV consultant based in Mexico with more than twenty years of experience in projection mapping and immersive production, to talk about what it takes to bring large scale visual technology to festivals, concerts and outdoor events.


Omar shares his perspective on working with limited resources compared to markets like Europe or the US, why sound design deserves far more attention than it usually gets in visual heavy productions, and why he is sceptical of how loosely the term generative content gets thrown around these days.


The conversation also touches on AI creeping into production workflows, the rise of drone shows as an extension of the stage, and the shifting economics behind festival formats worldwide.

Twenty years ago, digital signage was a screen on a wall.





Today, Florian Rotberg and Mike Blackman argue it is something else entirely: a dynamic layer inside a larger ecosystem, driven by AI, software and a level of personalisation that was science fiction not long ago.


Together with our host Anton, the founder of Invidis and the Managing Director of ISE look back at two decades of DSS and forward at what comes next. The hardware, they say, is good enough. The real question is what you build around it.

Most AV projects start with a budget and end with a display order. But what if the display is actually the last thing you should think about?


In this episode, our host Rebekka talks to Sian Rees, a display and technology strategist with over 25 years of experience, now working with AUO Display Plus. They discuss why so many AV integrators fall into the tangibility trap, what the industry gets wrong about platforms and ecosystems, and why the most important question in any AV project has nothing to do with resolution or brightness.


Sian also shares her take on where MicroLED, e-paper and ambient display technologies are heading, and why the best advice she has for any AV customer is to stop describing what they want and start thinking about what they want to become.
