DWR Distribution is proud to host South Africa’s first-ever, hands-on joint training experience featuring Panasonic Connect and HIVE Media Control. Learn how these two independent powerhouses seamlessly integrate to build bulletproof, low-latency visual workflows. The training will be hosted on 2 October from 9am to 5pm in Johannesburg at DWR Distribution, Johannesburg Block C, Unit 1, Kimbuilt Industrial Park, 9 Zeiss Road, Laserpark, Honeydew.

DWR Distribution takes pleasure in welcoming Panasonic’s Francois Yadi and Anthony Molloy back to the country to present the course, while the HIVE section of the training will be presented remotely by Nigel Sadler from Hive, certainly a master in his field.
