    Dustin- your helpful comments along the way during each video (shortcuts, things to avoid etc.) were very helpful. So much easier to understand than class in Rockleigh NJ. I suppose it's the fact that we can stop and go back and benefit from your real world experience. Hope to see more content moving forward.

    I use Simpl and VTProe just a few times a year and usually forget just about everything from CTI-P101/201 and -SG in between uses. This is a great way to review before starting the next project.

Dustin, your help has been excellent. I learned a lot from you – even though we only talked a few times. I may call on you for your help again – who knows – and I don’t mind spending money on good help. Thanks again and good luck with everything.

Built first System!

Gerald, YouTube Subsciber

The material you have provided at the Pro AV School You Tube Channel is Gold. I was able to build a test conference room from some surplus gear we had. (DMPS-300-C, 2x RMC-100-C, MPS-200, TPMC-8X, iPad+Mobil G app). Ever since I cobbled together that room using the MPS-200, it has been an addictive process to see what these controllers can do.
