Nobody is safe from cyberattack

By Monica Heck

The geopolitical tensions of today are pushing Europe, and Spain in particular, towards technological autonomy, according to Ramón Sáez, deputy technical adviser, National Cryptologic Centre, speaking on the opening panel of the Cybersecurity Summit.

“We have seen these threats evolving as cyberattacks are part of the hybrid warfare techniques in use today – observable in the Ukrainian conflict for example,” said Sáez. “We should be able to face these risks and be able to deploy technologies that give us the independence to defend ourselves and develop our own cybersecurity, cyber intelligence and cyber defence.”

Nobody is safe from cyberattack in the modern world, said Manel Garcia i Garcia, head of information security for the departments of interior and

business of the Government of Catalonia. “Years ago, cyberattacks against hospitals were uncommon and they are now experiencing serious attacks. Attackers don’t have ethical barriers; they just seek economic gain. Security and cybersecurity should be part of the requirements for the design of products and the management of our organisations.”

The digitisation of all processes and industry exposes new surfaces of attack, which have made the stakes much higher. It can cause not only financial damage, but the loss of human life, according to Farell Folly, senior expert for industrial cybersecurity, TÜV SÜD.

“For critical infrastructure, we need to integrate cybersecurity within certification instead of just testing for safety,” he said. “That is why standards are really important. The critical sectors such as energy, transport and healthcare are facing even more compliance requirements on products that enter the European market and I think AV products are completely involved in the scope of these requirements.”

Delivery can’t fail when messaging matters

By Adrian Pennington

Communication today is not only more frequent, it’s more visible, more replayed and easier than ever to compare. “That permanence raises the stakes,” said David Ross, CEO of Ross Video, during the Broadcast AV Summit.

“Every organisation today is communicating more than ever – across more channels, to more audiences, with higher expectations. At the same time, the amount of information people are exposed to has exploded. That makes it harder to break through the noise and elevate your message.”

Ross’ company has spent decades working in live television where communication simply cannot be allowed to fail. In recent years its production equipment has been purchased by governments, banks, corporates and stadiums.

“The challenge is that many of the systems that organisations rely on today were never designed for this role. They were built for meetings and presentations, not for communication that must capture attention. Inconsistent or unreliable messaging isn’t just inconvenient, it’s a risk.”

Organisations need to recognise when communication has crossed a threshold, he said. “When it’s no longer something they do occasionally, but something they depend on regularly then they need reliability, control and confidence in the outcome.” In other words, broadcast AV.

The goal of broadcast AV, then, is “to reduce ad-hoc setups and inconsistent experiences in high stress or key moments”, he said.

Ross identified opportunities to apply broadcast AV within in-house studios, event centres, professional meeting productions and ‘architainment’.

“This is where architecture and media come together through the innovative use of LED and projection,” Ross said. “It might be a building façade, an atrium or a feature on a wall in the lobby, but the intent is the same – to make the space itself part of how the organisation communicates.”

They are the robots

By Adrian Pennington

Humanoid robots, or androids, have been around since the 18th century, however they are about to take another leap forward with AI. But if robots were invented to essentially be slaves, why do we keep giving them faces?

“If we picture a robot it probably won’t be a mechanical factory arm but something like C3PO or Wall-E,” said Rebekka Gingell, manager event technology, LANG AG, at the Megatrends session ‘Why Robots Look Human: From culture to AV’.

“When I see Wall-E shovelling dirt day after day why do I shed a tear? Robots with expressive digital eyes trigger emotional responses because we project feelings onto them. Assigning human traits, emotions and intentions to non-human agents are cognitive shortcuts to trust.”

Gingell was joined by two robots produced by Unitree Robotics in China. Like most robots these are remote controlled with no built-in autonomy.

“The next stage is automated movements which are preprogrammed sequences that look fluid, but it is no different from the robots that build cars,” explained Francesco Elsing, director

emerging technologies, LANG AG.

“True autonomy requires real-time understanding of surroundings and significant processing power. Realistically, this is years away. When it comes, just like AI on your phone, the intelligence will live in massive data centres. The robot is just an endpoint.”

Yet humanoid robots will soon become part of our families. “A

humanoid robot has cameras for eyes,” Gingell said. “Inviting that into your home feels like inviting full-time surveillance.”

Referring to Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, she warned: “As robots become more autonomous and more present in everyday life, it becomes increasingly important to consider what laws or frameworks we want to guide their development.”

“Maybe the real question isn’t ‘Why do robots look human?’ but ‘What does that say about us?’” she posed. “Why are we designing robots in AV? Are we building tools or colleagues? Interfaces or mirrors of ourselves? Because the answer to that shapes what comes next.”

For those worried about a Terminator-style future, Elsing offered this crumb of comfort.

“It depends on us. There’s the utopian path – Star Trek’s Data – or the dystopian one, like the T-800. The way we interact with these machines will shape the direction we go.”

Surfing the soundwave

By Monica Heck

We need immersive audio to get to the next level in audio experience, said Pieter Doms, a freelance audio engineer, discussing the future of pro audio at a panel session on the Live Events Stage.

People who believe immersive audio is hype are wrong, according to Doms. “The benefit we see, other than just listener experience, is we can run shows at a lower level, we can have more isolated sound between stages so it is not spilling as much. Immersive audio has a number of secondary benefits.”

Michael Kinzel, global segment manager, live and entertainment venues, d&b audiotechnik, agrees. “The biggest misunderstanding with immersive audio is that you have effects and objects flying around all the time, which is not the case. It’s more interesting to see it as an improvement, like having more resolution, depth and quality in the sound itself.”

Kinzel is involved in the HELA Initiative that champions safe listening at live events through online education and industry-focused research.

Immersive audio will play a key role in supporting this type of initiative, according to Doms. “Comparing the year-on-year curves of a festival we did two years in a row, one using traditional stereo and one going to

immersive, we could see the stereo curve hit the tight sound limitations much faster than with immersive, which delivered a nice impact at a lower level than we would typically use on stereo.”

The need for more complex networking solutions is another trend in the pro-audio space, according to Fabian Braun, CEO of JOYNED. “The industry is used to analogue

Daring to be audacious

By Monica Heck

Award-winning writer, director and speaker Sam Grierson urged the audience at the AVIXA Women in AV Collective to have the audacity to pursue their dreams. Grierson started writing later in life, following a particularly hard year that involved redundancy, divorce and an autism diagnosis.

“Like Churchill, I’m a big believer in not wasting a good crisis,” she said. “I can come across as arrogant, because I make provocative statements, but I don’t see obstacles; I just get stuff done. I see that as audacity, because audacity is having a big, hairy, audacious goal and going after it. I don’t have a huge amount of self-confidence, or a big ego, I just believe you can use audacity to get things done.”

Grierson explores neurodivergence, gender, identity and queerness through film and audio drama. She started by writing a play called Crocodile, before expanding into audio

sitcoms, novels, podcasts and film, the latest of which is called The Pause. This explores menopause and stars Suzy Bloom and Louise Osbourne.

“It’s important, when we go on our journeys, to look at our whole life,” she added. “When you zoom out, you realise stress is transient. It could be helpful to ask how much change have I actually been through? It helps to contextualise things.” She also recommends sharing vulnerability and making connections to get things done, as well as making things visual.

Grierson threads audacity throughout her life experience. “I had never written a film, but I was audacious enough to ask, ‘how hard can it be?’ I don’t see obstacles; I see the end result. At the time, there was nothing for me to watch as a neurodivergent gay person, so I made it myself.

“So, to anybody out there asking themselves if they can do something, I answer, 'hell yes!'”

connections or point-to-point digital connections. The requirement to be networked evolved from the increased channel count and suddenly you have a bigger number of channels to transport. Shows are getting really complex on both ends of the signal chain. Our big challenge is to make this as smooth as possible for engineers and artists so they can focus on the creative part.”

Opening up the dark side of AI

By Adrian Pennington

Technology is advancing so quickly that the curve is practically vertical. Developments are more like lightning strikes than gradual progress, and one of them has just spooked the home installation community, as Rich Green, founder, Rich Green Design, told attendees at the ‘AI: What’s happening now and where next?’ session on the CEDIA Smart Home Technology Stage.

Green shared details of a new multi-agent AI system called OpenClaw that can run locally on a Mac Mini inside a home network. It can communicate simultaneously with multiple AI models – OpenAI, Gemini, Claude – and access private information from your address book and email. It can execute transactions and even automate your home.

“The developer community went wild,” Green reported. “It hit a million downloads in a week. People all over the world began hacking full automation systems together without any help from traditional integrators. It’s impressive, but it also means this innovation is happening outside our control. This isn’t Crestron or Control4. This is a community-driven tool that has gone viral.”

“These tools can disrupt traditional manufacturers almost overnight,” he added.

“Experiment with it but be extremely cautious. Do not put it into a customer’s home until you fully understand the implications.”

He warned of the “serious danger” of people experimenting with such a tool who have no understanding of security. “They don’t know how to configure firewalls or protect their networks. The hacker community noticed this and began launching attacks.”

Tools like this cannot be ignored, however. “This will change our industry – and many others,” Green added. “It is AI talking to AI that solves a problem without human instruction. Currently we can understand what they say because communication is text-based. Soon they will invent their own language, so that we can’t understand them. This is not science fiction. This is happening.”

Point of sale is a war zone

By Adrian Pennington

You can have the best screens, the best CMS and the best plan, but once you install them in-store, anything can happen.

“Point of sale is a war zone,” declared Jordi Mur, CMO at In-Store Media, presenting ‘Retail Media Networks in Practice’, part of the invidis Retail Conference. “We once found a 2.5m ceiling-mounted screen broken. Reviewing the security footage, we discovered that during night restocking, staff were throwing tomato sauce bottles across aisles for fun – and one hit the screen. This is the reality of retail environments.”

Even with the most carefully planned screen location, a store manager might place shopping baskets right in front of it. This is why digital signage is not a ‘set it and forget it’ operation.

“You need boots on the ground,” Mur said. “You must be physically present, visiting stores, monitoring, maintaining and adapting constantly.”

With the wider retail media advertising

market now worth $30 billion a year, “advertising is a competitive battlefield”, added Mur. “You’re competing with TV, online and social media. To succeed, you must position retail media correctly and leverage its strongest advantage: direct sales attribution.”

Mur’s company operates more than 13,000 in-store digital signage screens for 56 retail brands worldwide, including Carrefour and Walmart. “Over time, we’ve learnt that screens are just the tip of the iceberg,” Mur said. “There is much more behind a successful in-store retail media strategy.”

As with all commerce, it is data that moves the needle. Information about the audience in store and measurements of signage performance must be collected before, during and after the campaign.

“The more data you provide, the stronger your retail media positioning becomes. You must complement in-store media with omnichannel capabilities, because brands increasingly expect integrated solutions.”

DELTA ELECTRONICS | STAND: 3K900

Powerful Insight into Satellite projection

The Satellite Insight 8K is a new high-end projector where the powerful light source is separate from the lens unit. “This means you can deploy it in a difficult environment where you can’t make any noise,” said Eric Kuo, product manager, Delta Electronics.

The projector uses a customised fibre cable, which can be any length, and can deliver up to 50,000 lumens.

Also new is the Titan Luma 3-chip DLP projector, which outputs up to 35,000 lumens with 4K resolution. It is a new generation of 3-chip design that is about half the size of the previous generation, making it “the smallest of this type of projector”.

Delta is also showing an immersive demo using four E-Vision 10,000lumen projectors linked to a plug-and-play Augmenta tracking system that can make anything interactive – walls, floors and tables. — david fox www.delta-emea.com

Three-chip projection at one-chip price

Three-chip DLP-quality projection at the cost of a one-chip DLP projector is the promise of Panasonic’s new PT-HTQ20.

The 20,000-lumen 4K projector is the company's first 1-chip DLP projector to support the Rec. 2020 colour gamut and is powered by Panasonic’s Vivid Prime RGB laser light-source technology for 3-chip class colour fidelity.

Also new is the PT-VMQ85 projector, which is designed for mission-critical applications and aims to make 4K immersion more widely available. It is claimed to be the world’s smallest, lightest 8,000-lumen 4K LCD projector and is particularly well suited for use with simulation applications, especially for golf, where its vivid colour helps make the experience even more immersive.

Panasonic has also unveiled its Mevix TL-55LV12A dvLED display, designed for easy integration, with features such as controller-less HDMI input and compatibility with standard VESA mounting systems. The bezel-less design has a fine 1.26mm pixel pitch, and multiple 55in units can be combined into large, seamless displays with brightness of up to 800 lumens and a wide colour gamut.

ADAM HALL INTEGRATED SYSTEMS | STAND: 7B700

The Questra for the Holy Grail

Outdoor subwoofers, ceiling speakers and processors are among the latest introductions at Adam Hall, alongside a major update to its Questra design and management platform.

Ivan Klepac, application engineer, Adam Hall, said Questra v1.4 brings integration with the company’s TIVA video and I/O devices, “allowing it to control audio, lights and video, and third-party devices, making it everything-in-one software”.

The three DQOR Series subwoofers are the IP55-certified Passive and Active Dante models and a non-IP Active sub with an internal amplifier to power existing DQOR satellite speakers. There is also a new wall/ceiling mount that enables one-person installation.

The Celix Series of premium coaxial ceiling speakers, with a wide overall dispersion of 120º, come in 4in, 6in and 8in versions, as well as an 8in subwoofer. The 6in also comes as a Dante version powered by PoE and can power another passive 6in or 4in model.

Also new are two Questra-compatible network matrix processors (either 8- or 32-port analogue I/O plus AES67). — david fox www.adamhall.com

SHENZHEN UNIVIEW | STANDS: 3G150, 3N600, 3P300 LED or LCD? It’s your choice for OEM

As an OEM, the Uniview brand is rarely seen on displays, which are typically bought by media or advertising companies, but it offers a wide range of customisable panels.

Among its latest are heavyduty industrial panels, including 21:9 widescreens, and an RGBbacklight screen for applications that require greater colour accuracy. It also has new IP66-rated outdoor screens in freehanging, floormounted or wallmounted versions.

“We are also applying new technology for daylight open cell LCD displays that is only 10mm deep. It makes the screen look much clearer,” said Vicky Lee, Uniview’s founder and general manager.

The company sells both LED and LCD, “but LED can’t reach the resolution of LCD at such a reasonable price point", said Paul Morris of French distributor Advanced Multimedia. "When you need detailed content you go for LCD, as it can be delivered at 8K or 4K affordably. It’s complementary to LED, so it is very good that Uniview has the two. The key is the housing and the durability of the products, so they are shock-proof and vandal-proof.” — david fox www.univiewlcd.com / www.univiewled.com

as three clicks can find any setting, while Sharkware allows integrators to design the installation offline and deploy it quickly on site. There is also LEA Cloud for full remote control and monitoring, which can also be used for third-party Dante products.

“We’re all about making integrators’ jobs easier,” he said.

The 3004 also includes preset tuning, supporting more than 30 speaker manufacturers with more than 3,000 tuning files, “for pristine tuning out of the box”. — david fox www.leaprofessional.com

UNIGUEST | STAND: 5B310

Healthy growth for Hub

Billed as an “everything-app for digital signage, IPTV and enterprise video”, Uniguest’s Hub, launched at ISE 2025, now reaches more than 1.1 million active endpoints. The company's Healthcare Hub is making its European debut this year, alongside enhancements supporting new hardware and applications.

Some 250 US hospitals already use Healthcare Hub, but it has recently been installed in a UK hospital, marking its first deployment outside America. “It had to be optimised for the European market, so it can utilise patient’s data securely,” said James Keen, EVP marketing, Uniguest.

Healthcare Hub allows patients to access entertainment, information, track their treatment, and see when staff will visit and when they might be discharged. There is also an interactive whiteboard for the sort of information patients and staff need to refer to regularly, such as medication. The system can also be used for video calls.

The Hub now features support via its CMS for Samsung’s E-Paper displays, and interactive multiview is now an option for its IPTV users, who can display four live TV streams on a single screen and select between them.

Creating a Spark

Tom Barker-Harrold, senior director of marketing, ISE

By Monica Heck

Spark, a showcase event dedicated to cross-vertical creative connectivity, concludes today in Hall 8.1. New for ISE this year, it is aimed at the growing number of creative professionals who aren’t finding a natural home within the more conventional technology-centric nature of the show.

“We did not really have an offering suited to the increasing attendance of creative professionals at ISE, whether from the broadcast industry, with producers and directors, from marketing and design or from end-users from across the space, and that is how Spark was born,” says Tom Barker-Harrold, senior director of marketing at ISE.

Incubating Spark within ISE makes sense for the first year, he explains. “That way, the creatives attending the show can easily cross over into Hall 8.1 to discover the summit, and those attending Spark can explore the rest of the show and find other content on other stages, or dive into technology across the different zones.”

This event is centred on the convergence of technology and content, adds Barker-Harrold: “Spark is targeted specifically on content. Technology is the facilitator for everything we do in the creative industries, but the unifying topic is content creation and content production across broadcast, live events, gaming, marketing and design.”

This isn’t just about decision makers and senior figures in the industries coming together, it is also about supporting talent development with programming dedicated to the next generation of the industry as well as networking opportunities. “With

‘We believe that this event has the potential to be significantly larger than what we are seeing this year, especially based on market feedback that we’ve received so far’

the ubiquitous topic of AI and the rapid pace of change in this space, we anticipate interesting conversations for the next generation about the industry they are entering and its development,” adds Barker-Harrold.

Spark is delivering a meaningful and extended experience for people. “Alongside the content stages and panel discussions, we have introduced ‘experiential activation areas’ where people can experience VR and XR, see virtual production plateaus or studio spaces, and explore how they can develop content in those environments,” he says.

“We hope that people will engage with content, with learning, with thought leadership, but then

also have the opportunity to get hands on with best-in-class examples of technology bringing content to life.”

BIG PLANS

ISE’s ambitions for Spark are big. From next year, it is expected to take place offsite, with transportation links to the ISE show. In time, Barker-Harrold expects Spark to become the primary event for the creative industries, who would then attend ISE alongside it.

“We believe that this event has the potential to be significantly larger than what we are seeing this year, especially based on market feedback that we’ve received so far,” he adds. “The success

of our extensive programme of Tech Tours around Barcelona has already proven that people are excited to get out of the venue and see technology in action in different sites around the city.”

The growth of Spark will give each represented sub-sector –broadcast, live events, marketing, design and gaming – room to expand and allow for these ecosystems to come together. More content will gradually become available across more stages, with deeper dives into each sub-sector, more speakers and a richer programme.

“We would also expect to see more space for start-up technology companies, software companies and relevant manufacturers and solution providers to be present within Spark too,” says Barker-Harrold. “The event will also make space for investment opportunities.”

Spark matches the energy of the growing and increasingly tech-savvy end-user presence at the show across all markets. “These end-users seek a deeper understanding of the solutions that are available to them, and ISE is a place for end-users to discover how technology can be utilised creatively for their projects,” concludes Barker-Harrold.

“The new profile of people Spark is targeting have perhaps less interest in the fine details of the tech and the spec sheets, but they are interested in understanding how it comes together to create solutions for what they’re trying to do, whether that’s in broadcast, gaming, live events or other domains. They are centred on content, centred on creativity, but understand that technology plays a vital role in their creative process for what they’re trying to deliver.”

2N | STAND: 2H1000

IP access control without the need for re-cabling

Going retro on access control

Retrofitting specialist 2N is showing a new approach designed to bring full-featured IP access control to older buildings without the need for re-cabling.

One of its key products is the 2N Clip 2wire-IP, which allows integrators and installers to replace outdated analogue systems with high-quality audio and video and secure IP communication using existing cabling.

Features also include mobile access, intercom to mobile phone calls and remote support from property managers.

On its stand in Hall 2, visitors can see live demos of how the system works and explore retrofit setups. Experts from 2N are also available to discuss integration options, project planning and how the retrofit portfolio fits into complete, scalable access control deployments.

| STAND: 1E700

Android with a professional touch

An enterprise-grade Android device family built on the Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP), Microsoft’s fortified Android system for professional environments, is on show in Hall 1.

Designed for meeting rooms, access points and workplace signage, the device lineup aims to bring unified security, predictable lifecycle control and simplified management to hybrid workspaces.

IAdea says the new family covers key workplace touchpoints such as room interaction panels, access and check-in stations, and 4K signage/kiosk processors, all running on the same enterprise-secured Android baseline.

OPUS TECHNOLOGIES | STAND: 7B800

Aura

promises personalised listening

French manufacturer of assistive listening systems, Opus Technologies, is presenting its new Aura by Opus brand, based on Auracast technology.

According to the company, Aura enables direct wireless audio broadcasting to compatible devices, providing an enhanced, personalised listening experience in public places. The solution is for both the hearingimpaired and those with standard levels of hearing.

The latest addition to the range is the AuraSTRX, a portable transmitter and receiver with an intuitive touchscreen that allows the reception and transmission of Auracast streams.

The company is also presenting another new product line, the HMD Series, which combines magnetic induction loop technology with Auracast integration. The resulting hybrid devices ensure an optimal and universal experience while preparing customers for the future standards of the industry, according to Opus Technologies.

By adopting MDEP, IAdea enables Microsoft Entra ID authentication, secure boot, verified OS integrity and Microsoft-managed updates. For AV and IT teams, this removes the uncertainty commonly found in consumer-

grade Android forks, offering a standardised foundation that scales across global enterprise deployments, according to the company.

Range expands with addition of powerful column subwoofer

Integrating with the full IC Live X range of modular, steerable arrays, the subwoofer is also visually indistinguishable from any other ICLX column module. Consequently, it is wellsuited to venues that require powerful yet unobtrusive performance.

Complementing this new hardware release, RenkusHeinz is also showcasing Rhaon 3, its completely re-engineered control and monitoring platform. Rhaon 3 delivers a faster, more intuitive, future-ready experience for integrators and designers thanks to a sleek new interface and streamlined workflow. It also includes OmniBeam, an advanced beam-steering configuration tool from

Renkus-Heinz.

Networked audio: The backbone of the immersive installed sound boom

By Grant Youngman, senior market analyst, Futuresource Consulting

Walk into almost any new-build commercial or leisure venue today and one thing sits quietly behind the walls: the audio lives on the network. What started as a premium option for flagship venues has rapidly become the default design assumption. For consultants and architects, the question is no longer whether to specify networked audio, but how far to lean into it and how it will underpin the next wave of immersive experiences.

The installed commercial loudspeaker market is on a steady upwards trajectory, growing from roughly 7.3 million units in 2020 to almost 12 million by 2029, with value rising from just over $500 million to around $1.1 billion across the same period.

Installed leisure shows a similarly robust curve as hospitality, attractions and experience-led venues invest in new systems. Across both, the common thread is the shift away from standalone, point-to-

SPINETIX | STAND: 4S400

DSaaS Hub builds on 20 years of delivery

Marking its 20th anniversary at ISE 2026, Swiss digital signage pioneer Spinetix is showing the latest evolution of its Digital Signage as a Service (DSaaS) offering.

The new SpinetiX Hub command centre offers a complete infrastructure designed to unite content creation, player management and data integration under one roof. It consolidates every element into a single plug-andplay platform.

point loudspeaker systems toward multizone, IP-addressable networks that can be monitored, tuned and reconfigured in software.

Three forces are driving this, and they are increasingly intertwined with the rise of immersive.

First is the convergence of safety, paging, background audio and show content. In malls, transport hubs, corporate campuses and mixed-use developments, the same loudspeaker grid may handle low-level ambience in the morning, live announcements at lunchtime, emergency messaging in the afternoon and a full-on event in the evening. In the leisure world, museums, immersive art spaces and attractions are layering narrative soundscapes, spot effects and music beds across multiple rooms and zones. That combination is simply not manageable at scale without centralised DSP and networked audio distribution.

Second is lifecycle economics. Networked audio no longer carries the cost penalty it once did. When you factor in reduced copper, easier changes of use, remote diagnostics and fewer truck rolls, IP-based systems often undercut traditional 100V or analogue matrix designs over the life of a building. The value becomes even clearer in immersive environments, where content,

DSaaS by SpinetiX promises end users the freedom and flexibility to focus on communication, thanks to its depth of features, scalability and ease of use.

layouts and experiences are refreshed regularly. Reprogramming scenes and zones in software is far cheaper than repatching racks or re-routing physical circuits every time an exhibit changes.

The third force is the rise of platform ecosystems. The loudspeaker decision is now inseparable from the control and DSP platform that sits above it. Many major projects standardise on a small set of ‘audio operating systems’, and then select loudspeakers that are either native to that platform or tightly integrated via control plugins, monitoring and presets. Immersive venues push this even further, using audio platforms that synchronise tightly with show control, timecode and lighting, and that can address dozens or hundreds of channels across a single network fabric.

Critically, the growth of immersive does not replace the case for networked audio; it amplifies it. As more venues pursue multi-layered soundscapes and flexible programming, the penalty for being locked into fixed, analogue routing gets higher.

Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, networked audio should be seen less as a ‘feature’ and more as the underlying infrastructure on which the next decade of installed sound will be built.

With automation, interactivity and secure cloud management at its core, DSaaS

empowers organisations to deliver engaging, data-driven experiences that adapt and scale to their needs. — kirsty hazlewood www.spinetix.com

SILICONCORE TECHNOLOGY | STAND: 5H100

LED displays are on Trak for dynamic motion

Moving LED displays are on show from SiliconCore in partnership with Trak-Kit. SiliconCore has two high-resolution 0.9mm and 1.2mm configurations from its Enlighten COB Series on a Trak-Kit Multi Panel System, demonstrating how displays can be reconfigured in an instant to change an environment or engage an audience.

The Trak-Kit system can change the ultra-low power consumption display’s orientation from portrait to landscape, create different-sized canvases for visual impact and move them out of sight when not needed. They can be manual or automated, with control via Crestron, Extron, AMX, Lutron or Savant and via RS-232 or RS-485.

Kinetic display sequences can be programmed to capture attention, reconfigure store environments and ensure messaging is perfectly placed to capture customer attention.

Shadi Shahrokhi, chief designer and founder, Trak-Kit, said the two companies “are delivering truly unique, large-format dvLED displays that can move, rotate and transform spaces in ways previously considered impossible”. — daVid FoX www.silicon-core.com

MULTIDYNE VIDEO & FIBER OPTIC SYSTEMS | STAND: 5L150

Another VersaBrix in the wall

ISE marks the European debut of 10G Ethernet capability in MultiDyne’s VersaBrix fibre transport series, FiberSaver wavelengthshifting multiplexers, SilverBack fibre camera adapters, NanoBrix miniature converters and VF-9000/9100 fibre optic transport systems.

The capability is particularly beneficial for high-end live production and corporate broadcast verticals that require the high-resolution, single-cable throughput of 12G locally, and the ability to transmit that high-quality video with very low latency over greater distances by placing them onto fibre.

The latest VersaBrix units can also send multiple 10GbE copper LAN connections over one fibre while optically isolating each network in the mix. This simplifies network management while meeting the stringent network division security requirements of enterprise businesses on the same fibre.

LIVEU | STAND:

Modular IP video ecosystem takes centre stage

Built on the low-latency LiveU Reliable Transport (LRT) protocol, LiveU’s expanded IP video ecosystem is designed to improve efficiency across contribution, production and distribution.

The company is showcasing three key updates at ISE through hands-on demonstrations. The 5G LU900Q is designed for demanding fieldwork, featuring native LiveU IQ, advanced eSIM technology and an updated 5G antenna. It integrates with SDI HDMI and IP-based production equipment.

LiveU Nexus, a cloud-native gateway, brings in, transforms, routes and outputs IP and SDI streams. It pulls content from sources such as Zoom, YouTube and other web platforms, bridging digital and broadcast workflows.

LiveU Schedule offers centralised scheduling and automation across the ecosystem. It simplifies planning for single transmissions or multi-event productions, enhancing resource management and saving time and costs. — kirsty hazlewood www.liveu.tv

For 12G transport, VersaBrix products can move 10 12G-SDIs from a machine room and output 10 HDMI 2.0 signals at the receive side – or achieve the same in the opposite direction. The result is a scalable, simple, high-density infrastructure for modern AV production.

NANOCOSMOS | STAND: EA760

QUIC mover comes on stream

First-time exhibitor nanocosmos is a “real-time video streaming platform focusing on interactive use cases” which claims to be the first to market with Media over QUIC (MoQ), a new standard that can deliver smooth performance even on poor networks, with zero configuration.

It can deliver a complete stream from capture to viewer in less than a second, making it particularly suited to auctions with bidding, casinos or sports betting, or any live event that requires interactivity.

Lorenzetti: ‘It’s entirely cloud based and all under our own control’

“It’s entirely cloud based and all under our own control – our own content delivery network and analytics,” said Antonella Lorenzetti, head of marketing, nanocosmos.

The company, which has been streaming since 2015, now offers a virtual studio service, including AI-powered live captions with multilingual translation, live replay, recording, video on demand and other processing, such as overlays or motion clipping. — david fox www.nanocosmos.net

COEX is the control for Tomorrowland

COEX is a new generation premium control system for high-end display applications, such as virtual production, studios, broadcasting, esports and large-scale rental activities.

NovaStar’s COEX-compatible line-up of processors covers a wide range of display needs, from HD to 8K and above, such as the flagship MX600 Pro 8K LED controller or the CX40 Pro 4K model.

The latest COEX 5G+ system, which uses 5G Ethernet or 10G fibre, can deliver 6.5 million pixels.

Jacob Tian, product solutions engineer, NovaStar, said: “We can reduce a lot of cables and it is easier to maintain for projects.”

It is particularly well suited to large-scale rental systems, with users including the Tomorrowland electronic dance music festival in Belgium.

The COEX-based processors also include adaptive thermal compensation which ensures monitor-level stable colour temperature and accuracy, an image booster for improved greyscale and more realistic colour, and multi-layer full greyscale calibration. — david fox www.novastar.tech

THE SHOW EXPERIENCE

Not in Las Vegas? Share and enjoy a sphere experience at ISE by heading to the Luminatii Technology stand (3T300). The fireproof, waterproof Spherical LED Screen conceals an immersive movie theatre, created from the company’s Flexible LED Screen

Right: Gaming worlds meet virtual reality at the Catalonia Pavilion (CS100), a showcase for the region’s creativity in the art of technology. This is a popular attraction in Congress Square between Halls 4 and 5, so get in line, don your headset and experience something strange and wonderful.

Above: The future of video communication is being demoed by Google (2S500, 2U300). Google Beam is an AI-first video communication platform that enables people to come together, collaborate and connect, life-sized and in 3D. Also on display are Google Meet on Neat devices, combining Google AI and Neat’s meeting room devices.

Left: This gigantic commercial media tower by LG sits in Hall 3 (3K100). It features a three-sided LED screen and 52.5m transparent mesh complete with intricate changing designs. It aims to blend K-culture tradition and modernity by recalling traditional Korean lacquered jagae-jang furniture.

Visitors to Hall 3 (3K500) are being drawn in by this beautiful example of pachydermic projection mapping. Three of Christie’s M 4K25 RGB pure laser projectors have been used to build the flowing imagery, with AV Stumpfl’s Pixera used for image alignment in the mapping.

Dry ice in the house: Nothing says showtime more than smoke and light, and you get loads of both at Valencia-based Prisma Pro (8G620). Enjoying the atmosphere here is Ray Huber who works for Swiss exhibitor Kilchenmann.
