Kramer And Ashton Bentley Unveil Latest Innovations At ISE 2026

Kramer, the leading company in audio-visual experiences, showcased its most comprehensive end-to-end AV portfolio to date at ISE 2026, demonstrating how unified connectivity, audio, collaboration, and control technologies can work together to simplify today’s increasingly complex AV environments.

Across the stand, Kramer presented complete room - and building-scale workflows - spanning signal distribution and AVoIP, professional audio, collaboration spaces, and ecosystem management - all designed to help organizations deploy, operate, and scale AV systems with greater efficiency, consistency, and confidence.

AVoIP Innovation with ZyPer4K-XSE

In the AVoIP domain, Kramer highlighted the introduction of ZyPer4K-XSE, the next generation of low-power, ultra-low-latency 10G SDVoE encoders and decoders within its end-to-end ZyPer AVoIP ecosystem. Designed for high-end applications including large-format displays, command and control rooms, stadiums, and entertainment venues, ZyPer4K-XSE combines reduced power consumption with advanced functionality such as native Dante audio, USB-C connectivity, HDMI loop-out, ICRON USB extension, and RS-232 control.

Managed via the ZyPer Management Platform, ZyPer4K-XSE enables fast deployment, centralized control, and long-term operational reliability across demanding 10G AVoIP installations.

AVSM and the Introduction of HU Products

Kramer also showcased its latest AVSM innovations with the introduction of its new HU product family, designed to bring HDMI, USB-C, and USB together in a unified switching and extension ecosystem. Built to support BYOD and hybrid workflows, HU products enable seamless switching, extending, charging, and data transmission while supporting flexible room configurations across meeting rooms, classrooms, and collaboration spaces.

Fully compatible with Kramer Series-3 extenders, the HU range allows integrators to mix and match components freely, delivering tailored solutions without unnecessary complexity.

Advanced Audio with Dante

In the audio domain, Kramer further expanded its Dante-powered portfolio, showcasing a growing range of PoE-driven loudspeakers designed to simplify networked audio deployment while maintaining high sound quality and refined aesthetics. The lineup now spans ceiling, wall-mounted, and pendant speakers, allowing integrators to specify consistent audio solutions across a wide variety of commercial environments.

Designed with ease of installation and scalability in mind, Kramer’s Dante speakers reduce cabling complexity by combining audio, power, and control over standard network infrastructure. This approach enables faster installation, easier system expansion, and seamless integration with wider AV-over-IP workflows. Available in multiple sizes and form factors, the speakers are well suited to applications ranging from meeting rooms and education spaces to hospitality, retail, and large corporate facilities, delivering reliable performance while meeting modern architectural and acoustic expectations.

Professional USB-C and HDMI Connectivity

Kramer’s stand also featured a broad range of professional connectivity solutions, including USB-C cables — full-featured, data-only, and video-only — alongside HDMI cables purpose-built for AV environments. A growing portfolio of elegant tabletop connectivity solutions was also on display, designed to deliver clean aesthetics, straightforward installation, and intuitive day-to-day use in modern meeting spaces.

Wireless Presentation and Collaboration

For wireless presentation and collaboration, Kramer demonstrated an expanded range of solutions including VIA and Session Manager, designed to make content sharing effortless in today’s hybrid, multi-user environments. These platforms allow participants to connect quickly and securely from their own devices, supporting a wide range of operating systems and collaboration workflows without the need for cables or adapters.

By reducing friction at the start of meetings and enabling intuitive interaction for both in-room and remote participants, Kramer’s wireless collaboration solutions help organizations maximize room utilization and improve meeting efficiency. With centralized management, enhanced security, and seamless integration into existing AV and IT infrastructures, VIA and Session Manager support flexible working practices while delivering a consistent, reliable user experience across meeting rooms, classrooms, and collaborative spaces.

Panta Rhei: Intelligent, AI-Enabled AV Management

Kramer also showcased major advancements within Panta Rhei, its AV ecosystem platform for management, monitoring, and automation of AVoIP environments. Expanded third-party device support allows users to integrate and interact with a wide range of AV devices, while new automation tools enable proactive, rule-based actions at room, building, site, or multi-site level — all from a single, centralized interface.

New AI-powered capabilities were demonstrated live at the show, including an AI-enabled troubleshooting tool designed to help AV teams resolve issues faster, reduce downtime, and continuously improve system performance through ongoing learning.

Collaboration Spaces by Ashton Bentley

Kramer’s Ashton Bentley division presented engineered meeting-room solutions designed to remove complexity and deliver consistently high-quality collaboration experiences. Highlights included a new mobile CART solution for flexible AV deployment, Microsoft Teams Rooms Express Install configurations developed in collaboration with Microsoft and leading ecosystem partners, and meeting tables purpose-built for modern video collaboration — optimizing sightlines, ergonomics, and integrated connectivity.

Executive Perspective

“At ISE 2026, Kramer demonstrated innovation across the entire AV experience — from signal management and AVoIP to audio, collaboration, connectivity, and intelligent management,” said Gilad Yron, CEO of Kramer. “By bringing together platforms such as ZyPer4K-XSE, the new HU products, Dante-based audio, Panta Rhei automation, and engineered collaboration solutions from Ashton Bentley, we enable organizations to design, deploy, and operate AV environments with greater simplicity, consistency, and confidence — at any scale.”
