Santa Flight 2016

At TVS Pro, we try our best to give back to the community when we can! That’s why we’re a proud sponsor of Angel Flight – which provides free medical and ‘compassion’ flights for those who qualify. Not only do we support Angel Flight, but our own Jerry, Steve, and James Bollinger are active member pilots of Angel Flight’s division for the West – with Steve Bollinger as the division’s wing leader and Santa Flight coordinator!

This year TVS Pro placed collection boxes in both our service and sales departments to collect school supplies, backpacks, clothing, toys and other donations to benefit Hurricane Elementary School – a Title One elementary school. Along with our donation, altogether Angel Flight West was able to donate around 7,000 lbs of supplies and $8,000 in monetary donations to the school which serves over 600 students.

Not only was the school delighted by the donations but the delivery was made by 18 planes, a couple of helicopters, the ‘Triple Deuce’ National Guard, 16 Eagle Scouts, 1 Girl Scout – and Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus!

This is the 16th year members of the Utah Wing of Angel Flight West has gathered and delivered needed supplies and toys to a Title One school in a rural community in Utah.

AV over IP or Traditional AV

AV Over IP vs Traditional AV: What makes the most sense?

Many have heard phrases such as digital transformation or convergence of AV and IT in the past few years. You might also be thinking, what does that actually mean? No matter which term you might be most familiar with, the sentiment is the same, that the AV industry is in the midst of a dramatic shift.
