AVE x PIXELHUE OFFICIAL PARTNERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT

2025 Announcement of partnership with AVE

Over the past several months, AV Educate has been hosting Pixelhue Open House events where our community could get hands-on with Pixelhue’s cutting-edge products. These open houses were informal, exploration-focused sessions – attendees could play with the gear, watch live demos, and experience devices like the P20 Seamless Switcher and U5 Event Controller up close. However, only now, as part of an official announcement, are we formally allowed to offer full training classes on Pixelhue products. We’re excited to share that Pixelhue has officially authorized AV Educate to provide Certified Pixelhue Training. This means we can move from casual demos to structured classes covering Pixelhue hardware and software in depth. It’s a huge milestone in our partnership with Pixelhue, marking the start of an era where AV Educate can deliver comprehensive, manufacturer-backed training programs on Pixelhue technology. The distinction is clear: our past open houses let you explore Pixelhue – but now, with this announcement, we can teach you everything you need to know about Pixelhue in an official capacity, complete with a full training curriculum. We are thrilled to finally take this next step and formally empower AV professionals through Pixelhue’s certified training classes.

Product Sales: A Dual Offering

While training is at the heart of what we do, AV Educate’s collaboration with Pixelhue comes with a dual offering: we are not only trainers but also a conduit for product sales. In other words, we’ve partnered with Pixelhue to ensure that those who learn on the equipment can also purchase Pixelhue products through the proper channels. This separation between education and sales is important to us. Our certified training programs remain focused on learning and skills – there’s no sales pitch in your classroom. Meanwhile, through strategic partnerships (including our direct relationship with Pixelhue and authorized resellers), we’ve made it easy for you to acquire Pixelhue gear when you’re ready. By keeping training and sales distinct, we maintain the integrity of our 501(c)(3) educational mission, even as we provide a convenient path for professionals to implement what they’ve learned. Training and technology go hand-in-hand, and our dual role as educators and facilitators of product access means you can seamlessly go from mastering the gear in class to deploying it at your next event. This strategy has been built in partnership with Pixelhue from the start, ensuring that our community gets the best of both worlds – top-notch training and a trusted avenue to the technology itself.

Free Training with Every Purchase

If you invest in a Pixelhue switcher, controller, or any product via AV Educate (or our affiliated sales partners), you will also receive a full training session at no additional cost.

Now that our classes are Pixelhue-certified, this free training is even more valuable: you’re not only getting the hardware, but also expert instruction on how to use it to its fullest potential. We believe that empowering users is the best way to introduce new technology. By ensuring that every purchase comes with hands-on education, we set you up for success – you can unbox your Pixelhue gear with confidence, knowing you have the knowledge (and an AV Educate team behind you) to leverage all its features.

As always, training can be delivered in person or remotely, though for those traveling from out of state, travel-related expenses may need to be arranged separately. This practice of “training included” will continue to be a hallmark of our dual offering, reinforcing our commitment to your growth whenever you choose Pixelhue through AV Educate.

Why Pixelhue?

Why have we chosen to partner with Pixelhue, and why do we call their products a game-changer in the AV industry? Simply put, Pixelhue’s technology and philosophy align perfectly with our mission to elevate AV professionals. Here are a few key reasons Pixelhue stands out:

• Cutting-Edge Innovation: Pixelhue is a company built on pushing the boundaries of what AV technology can do. Founded in 2017, they design quality products that truly “push the envelope” of innovation . In just a few years, Pixelhue has rapidly become a major player in the video processing world by introducing new capabilities that advance live event production.

• Powerful Yet User-Friendly: Pixelhue manages to deliver high-end performance without sacrificing stability or ease of use . Their flagship devices are both powerful and practical. For example, the P20 Seamless Switcher offers true 4K@60Hz seamless switching with up to 12 4K inputs and multiple outputs, all handled with rock-solid reliability . Pair that with the U5 Event Controller, a compact console featuring a touchscreen and customizable buttons, and you get an intuitive control solution for complex shows . This balance of advanced capability and user-friendly design makes Pixelhue’s gear accessible for technicians at all levels.

• Complete AV Ecosystem: Pixelhue provides a comprehensive ecosystem of solutions – from presentation switchers and media servers to controllers, extenders, and more. This means their products are designed to work seamlessly together, reducing integration headaches and ensuring compatibility across your workflow. By offering a one-stop solution, Pixelhue simplifies the production environment, which is a game-changer for teams looking to streamline their setups and improve efficiency.

• Commitment to Training and Support: Another reason we chose Pixelhue is their dedication to empowering users, which goes hand-in-hand with our values. Pixelhue doesn’t just ship boxes; they actively support the community through training events and robust customer support. In fact, Pixelhue has hosted training sessions and open-day events around the world – from Las Vegas to Dubai – to help professionals learn their gear first-hand . This kind of manufacturer involvement in education means that when you train on Pixelhue products (now officially with AV Educate!), you’re backed by a company that cares about your success. Their focus on quality and excellence at every level matches our own, making this partnership a natural fit to bring truly game-changing solutions to the AV community.

What’s Next?

As we celebrate this official milestone in our partnership with Pixelhue, we’re already looking forward to the opportunities ahead. What’s next for AV Educate x Pixelhue? Here’s what you can expect in the coming months:

• Official Pixelhue Classes Launching: Now that we’re authorized, we are gearing up to roll out our first official Pixelhue training classes. Very soon, we’ll announce a full schedule of in-person and online courses where you can enroll to become proficient (and even certified) on Pixelhue equipment. Whether you’re in South Florida for a hands-on class or joining virtually from elsewhere, you’ll have the chance to dive deep into Pixelhue’s product line with our experienced instructors. Keep an eye out for registration info and course details – seats will be limited, and we can’t wait to welcome the first cohort of Pixelhue trainees!

• On the Road at Industry Events: AV Educate and Pixelhue will be teaming up at upcoming industry events and trade shows. With InfoComm, LDI, and other major conferences on the horizon, expect to see us side by side with Pixelhue on the show floor. We’ll be demonstrating Pixelhue’s latest gear live, hosting mini-training sessions, and answering questions for anyone curious about the products or our new classes. If you’re attending one of these events, please drop by to say hello – it’s a great opportunity to see the technology in action and celebrate this new training program with the wider AV industry.

• Expanding Collaboration: This official training authorization is just the beginning. Our collaboration with Pixelhue is set to expand into new areas to benefit the AV community. We’re working on co-creating educational content – think how-to videos, case studies, and possibly advanced workshops – to further support learners. There’s talk of bringing Pixelhue roadshow trainings to different cities, so more people can experience the gear without traveling far. We’re also exploring innovative projects together, such as offering exclusive sneak peeks or beta tests of upcoming Pixelhue products to our trainees. In short, we intend to keep pushing the envelope together, finding fresh ways to empower and connect AV professionals through this partnership.

We’re just getting started. This newly minted ability to offer official Pixelhue training marks a significant milestone in an ongoing journey. It reinforces our commitment to equip, enable, and empower the AV workforce with the best tools and knowledge available. Thank you to Pixelhue for trusting us to represent their brand in the classroom, and thank you to our incredible AV Educate community for your continuous support. We look forward to seeing you in a Pixelhue training session soon, or at an upcoming event – let’s level up together and make the future of AV brighter than ever!
