The new Voltera ALCs double the available wattage of the previously most powerful models, making them suitable for mid-size to larger venues, including stadiums, concert halls, event centres, and indoor arenas.
Martin Larsen, field sales engineer, said: “The Voltera family has been with us for a year and a half, but now we’ve upgraded the line, so now we go from 600 watts to 4800 watts, with full power sharing through the channels. It doesn’t matter if it’s low impedance or high impedance. The biggest boss we have in town is now 4800 watts, which means that on each channel you can drive that as 3600 watts maximum. So in the two channel version, that means 3600 watts on one channel, 1200 on the other. These could be used by stadiums, houses of worship, or racetracks, for example.”
Bolin Technologies
Bolin’s booth featured a virtual production wall and included examples of the company’s outdoor and indoor PTZ cameras, encoders, and decoders, all networked together to demonstrate virtual/mobile production and corporate AV workflows.

We introduced Auri at last year’s show as a concept and now it’s shipping, so the partnership is coming to fruition.”
Logitech
Logitech, a Swiss manufacturer of computer peripherals and software, unveiled its Logitech Spot millimetre-wave sensor. The small device can be attached anywhere, allowing companies to detect whether people are in the room. Logitech says power lasts four years on a single D-cell shaped lithium battery, with no wires required. As well as a radar sensor, it measures particulates, VOCs, CO2, temperature, pressure, and humidity, enabling companies to obtain health scores for rooms. The radar can see roughly 5m away.
James Campanini, head of B2B, Europe, Logitech, told Installation: “We just announced this product. Once you install it, it will connect back to any Logitech room system and we’ve also got a hub for it. As it provides all the room information like oxygen levels, we see it as part of a trend for room systems and technologies to become facilities. And for us that’s key as we are a consumer brand that is concerned about the end users.”
Lynx Technik/Future AV
LYNX Technik, a provider of modular signal processing solutions, unveiled its new 12G-SDI, HDMI H.264/265 Streamer and Recorder at ISE. As the company’s latest advancement in professional streaming and recording technology, the PEC 1464 is the successor to the PEC 1864 and brings an array of advanced features and performance for elevating AV media production and broadcasting. The PEC 1464 H.264/265 encoder offers a versatile solution for users who need to stream and record content simultaneously. This new yellobrik supports video formats up to 12G / 4K UHD and HDMI up to WQUXGA, as well as all popular streaming formats.
Vincent Noyer, director of product marketing, told Installation: “Our yellobriks are used across applications. We started in broadcasting, but we’ve also moved beyond it now. Cruise ships are using it. SpaceX is using them for its launch pads because they resist intense heat. You find them everywhere. A big selling point is the rack, because the power is fed by the rack itself. So you don’t have a ton of cables at the back. And can add as many racks as you want. And you also get a controller which allows you to monitor the health and status and configuration of every device.”
MSolutions
Making its international debut at ISE, MSolutions’ MS-63DOC docking extender is designed to simplify installation and consolidate all video, audio, and data signals through a single USB-C cable. According to MSolutions, the device removes the complexities of traditional HDMI setups by using one USB-C cable to transmit 4K@60 4:4:4 video, audio, and Ethernet over USB 3.2 Gen 1 to a host (transmitter). Positioned up to 100m away, this host acts as an HDBaseT gateway to the device, streamlining connectivity and enhancing flexibility.
Malissa Dillman, vice president, MSolutions, told Installation: “The key is that I am taking all of my signals and I’m transporting them over one category 6A cable. So I have fewer points of failure. A 6A cable is an easy cable to get a hold of. It’s not that expensive, and now you can break that out at the end and get dual displays. The beauty of it is that it does not matter which conferencing solution you use as it’s agnostic when it comes to the cameras.”
Neat
The Norwegian brand Neat has only been around for five years, but has already developed a foothold in the Teams space. The key to the growth, according to Jeremy Lampard, the product specialist for the UK and Ireland, has been simplicity. “We make sure we have a limited amount of products that can be really flexible and cover loads of different scenarios,” he explained to Installation. “We’ve now effectively got a small portfolio of some bars, some all-in-one board devices that can either be used to join meetings, or do bring your own device. What we’ve done recently is evolve the boards so we’ve got more form factors now. So we’ve got a Neat Board 50, which is for your small to medium rooms. And then we have the Neat Board Pro, which is the big 65in that’s based from medium to extra large spaces. And the idea is you can wheel them around.”
Nexo

The kits come pre-configured for zero-touch provisioning and include Shure’s MXA902 Ceiling Array Microphone + Loudspeaker, Huddly Cameras, a Windows-based Microsoft Teams Room compute with onboard Shure IntelliMix Room DSP, and a touch panel. Ralf Klinnert, product manager at Shure UK, explained: “We have four different-sized kits, so these fit pretty much any room style. And the software allows you to plug and play with everything. Everything comes in the box, all the cables, adapters, network switches.. And when you plug everything in and boot the computer up, when it comes up to a Teams room, all of the audio has already been configured at the back end and the camera connects via the network as well.”
Snap One
Installation enjoyed a tour of the ADI/ Snap One booth, which showcased products from the company’s portfolio, including Control4, Luma, Triad, and Episode. Executing a future under the slogan “even better together” as a single company, ADI/Snap One was keen to demonstrate its commitment to interoperability and growing its portfolio of products across residential, commercial and security. For example, the new Control4 DS3 Virtual Kits use a 4K resolution camera module for detailed snapshots and clips for insights and crystal-clear video calls. Meanwhile, also on the booth were the recently introduced new line of Luma 4K Hybrid cameras and the X20 Fisheye Camera, with a wide viewing angle, designed for visual monitoring of expansive residential and commercial properties.

Meanwhile, the Era 100 Pro Surface Mount boasts 30° pan and tilt ranges and 360° rotation, enabling installation in any orientation.
Stephen Rhead, installed solutions manager at Sonos, explained to Installation that it was developed because the company received so many requests for a light-commercial audio product. He said: “It’s our first hardware product designed specifically for professional installation. We’re committed to offering new solutions for commercial businesses so it’s an important first step for us.”
Sony
It was announced at ISE that Sony Professional Displays & Solutions has been selected by Crestron to reinvent the company’s workspace. Previously based in the small town of Rijmenam, Crestron’s move to the bustling city of Mechelen proved quite the task, and therefore the change had to be as seamless as possible. A bigger office space offered clear advantages, but also came with new challenges too – a larger workspace meant it would now be harder to be sure the displays across the office were all functional and displaying the correct content. To overcome this issue, Crestron opted for BRAVIA Professional Displays due to their Cloud connection capability, which allowed for seamless integration into the Crestron control system.
Adam Dover, senior trade marketing manager, Sony Europe, had this to say about ISE 2025: “It was great to be at ISE and showcasing our latest innovations and partnerships to the record-breaking number of attendees. ISE is a hugely important show for us to connect with new and existing customers, and we had a lot of positive feedback from industry members… we are already looking forward to ISE 2026!”
