Why Attend vAutomation Training?
VidaBox is the perfect addition to your product line. Whether you're big or
small, new to or very familiar with media center technology, the breadth of
features & systems offered by VidaBox lines can give your business the distinct,
unique edge you need in today's market!
Integrating lighting, security, climate, touchpads, and other advanced control products have always been a challenge for many dealers. Designing & figuring out new designs for every job is time-consuming & difficult. Our training will provide you with the knowledge you need to specify the right VidaBox hardware & integration products for any job or proposal, leading to easy, trouble-free installs.
When is the next vA training session?
The next open training is scheduled for and starts at 8:45 AM SHARP, as noted on the date(s) above.
Food and refreshments will be served around lunch time. We recommend all attendees from outside of the Las Vegas area to fly in at least the night before, get some rest, so we can all start off fresh in the morning!
What will the vA Level 1 training cover?
The vAutomation training will cover the VidaBox vAutomation platform w. CQC, from installation, to configuration, to working with drivers, system design, and implementation. Each attendee will have their own workstation w. a vController where they can start their work & programming from, along with connected devices (lighting, virtual devices, etc.). This provides you with some hands-on experience.
Each of these two days will be broken up into 2-3 hour morning and afternoon sessions, followed by an open Q&A (question & answer), where we can work individually and address any questions posed.

How to design and sell vAutomation jobs?
Explanation of vAutomation design examples
Note: This training is for *serious dealers only,* as it is very intensive. It can be breeze for those who have a solid background and experience in programming (Crestron, AMX, or even computer programming languages like C#, VB, .NET), but somewhat challenging for those that do not have the exposure.
There will be minimial or no coverage of media centers. This is for dealers and integrators interested in seriously learning about the vAutomation platform and how they can sell it to their clients and customers.
How much is training?
Each seat at the training costs $250 to register. Each attendee has the option of purchasing the vController that they are working with for only $550 more ($800 total), so that their training can be continued at home. Note that the vController only comes with a 90-day CQC trial license.
Early registration allows you to reap SIGNIFICANT savings. Sign up NOW to save!
Attendees are not required to purchase the vController in advance, and can make a decision at the end of the training. The demo vController can also be purchased for $1000 ($1250 total) at the end of the training. A 90-day CQC trial license is included.
We strongly encourage attendees to purchase the vController as a part of their training, which allows them to build upon the work done during the training and further their knowledge of CQC and vAutomation.
Attendees who do not purchase a vController in advance or at the training, but decide to purchase one after the training, will be charged at standard demo dealer pricing. Only a 30-day CQC trial license is available with the standard demo option.
