InfoComm 2026 Showcase: Where Enterprise AV and Collaboration Converge
InfoComm 2026 is a professional AV technology trade show where media servers, projection screens, cameras, collaboration bars, and real-time object tracking systems are demonstrated for enterprise, broadcast, and live event workflows to help organizations create immersive environments and more efficient communication. This year’s InfoComm 2026 showcase spotlights two clear priorities for system designers: unifying media processing for complex productions and simplifying enterprise collaboration tools for everyday users. AV Stumpfl’s PIXERA media servers and Clip projection screens anchor the high-end visual side, while AVer Information introduces new communication, tracking, and AV-over-IP devices aimed at hybrid work, education, and healthcare. Together they outline how modern AV stacks are evolving: IP-friendly, automation-ready, and designed to scale from lecture halls and divisible spaces to XR studios and live touring rigs.
PIXERA Media Servers Add Power, SMPTE ST 2110 and Tracking
At the center of AV Stumpfl’s InfoComm 2026 presence are the PIXERA four GEN2 and GEN2 RS servers, aimed at large immersive shows, XR and AR broadcast environments, and complex multi-output installations. The GEN2 series increases processing headroom and introduces an updated chassis to support demanding real-time graphics and multi-screen mapping. The PIXERA four GEN2 RS arrives as a rental staging workhorse, pre-configured with 16TB of NVMe SSD storage, dual 25GbE and quad 1GbE networking, 12G-SDI input and output, framelock and genlock support, plus a Dante Virtual Sound Card so rental companies can standardize on a fast-deploying server spec. AV Stumpfl will also present SMPTE ST 2110 capabilities in the PIXERA platform, signaling deeper support for IP video workflows across broadcast, live events, and permanent installations that demand flexible signal routing.
Real-Time Object Tracking Brings Motion-Aware Media to the Stage
For creative teams focused on live production, one of the most significant InfoComm 2026 developments is real-time object tracking integration between PIXERA media servers and zactrack PRO. The workflow connects zactrack’s 3D tracking data directly to the PIXERA Effect Engine so projected content and LED visuals can follow performers or moving objects without manual cueing. That means media can highlight a presenter as they cross a stage, map light and video to a moving set piece, or adapt visuals on the fly in XR studios. North American visitors will see this workflow in person for the first time at the show. This kind of real-time object tracking points toward production environments where media servers, tracking, and lighting systems act as a single adaptive platform rather than isolated devices.
Clip Projection Screens Extend AV Stumpfl’s Display Portfolio
While PIXERA media servers draw attention on the processing side, AV Stumpfl is also expanding its physical display options with the Clip projection screen range. MonoClip refines the company’s Monoblox heritage by combining a modular frame with a clean, full-profile edge that removes studs and press snaps, improving both appearance and setup. Screen surfaces attach via QuickClip hooks, which are designed to keep surface tension consistent across changing temperatures and humidity—an ongoing challenge in rental environments. VarioClip takes modularity further with a frame that can be reconfigured to many formats by adding or removing plug-in elements, making it well-suited to touring and multi-use venues. A new screens configurator joins the PIXERA hardware configurator, giving integrators a guided way to specify screen size, surface, frame, outputs, redundancy, and storage for each project.
AVer’s Enterprise Collaboration Tools Span Boardrooms, Classrooms and Healthcare
On the collaboration front, AVer Information is bringing a full lineup of enterprise collaboration tools to InfoComm 2026, covering production, meeting, and clinical scenarios. The MT500 is an AI-powered NDI matrix auto-tracking box that centralizes multi-camera production with intelligent camera switching, dual independent 4K outputs, plus NDI, Dante, and Dante AV-H integration, and it supports voice- and position-based tracking without wearables. For hybrid meetings, the VB150 all-in-one bar targets huddle and small rooms with 4K video, a 120-degree lens, beamforming microphones, AI voice tracking, USB plug-and-play, and BYOD support. Healthcare teams gain the MD331UI medical-grade PTZ camera for telehealth and tele-ICU, while the TR322 dual-lens auto-tracking camera and NC30 NDI encoder/decoder serve classrooms and AV-over-IP spaces. AVer’s CORE500 Windows-based Microsoft Teams Room kit completes the picture for controlled enterprise meeting environments. According to Andy Teoh of AVer Information, these systems are designed to support “flexible deployment, intelligent automation and consistent user experiences.”
