Kramer took the wraps off five new solutions at ISE 2026, presenting what the company described as its most comprehensive end-to-end AV portfolio to date alongside UCC specialist Ashton Bentley, which Kramer acquired in 2024.
The launches spanned AVoIP, networked audio, hybrid collaboration and AI-enabled ecosystem management, with demonstrations covering complete room- and building-scale workflows across the stand in Barcelona.
Leading the AVoIP announcements was the ZyPer4K-XSE, a next-generation low-power, ultra-low-latency 10G SDVoE encoder and decoder designed for high-end installations including command and control rooms, stadiums and large-format display environments. The unit is said to combine reduced power consumption with native Dante audio, USB-C connectivity, HDMI loop-out, ICRON USB extension and RS-232 control, managed via Kramer’s ZyPer Management Platform.
Kramer also introduced the HU product family, a new range designed to unify HDMI, USB-C and USB within a single switching and extension ecosystem. Compatible with Kramer’s Series-3 extenders, the HU line is intended to support BYOD and hybrid workflows across meeting rooms, classrooms and collaboration spaces, with the company saying integrators can mix and match components to suit individual installations.
In audio, Kramer launched an expanded range of Dante-powered, PoE-driven loudspeakers spanning ceiling, wall-mounted and pendant formats. The company says the new speakers are designed to reduce cabling complexity by carrying audio, power and control over standard network infrastructure, with the lineup aimed at environments ranging from meeting rooms and education spaces to hospitality and large corporate facilities.
Kramer also announced significant updates to Panta Rhei, its AV ecosystem management platform. New automation tools are said to enable rule-based actions at room, building or multi-site level from a single interface, while newly unveiled AI-powered features include a troubleshooting tool the company says is designed to help AV teams resolve issues more quickly and reduce downtime through ongoing learning.
Rounding out the launches, Ashton Bentley presented new engineered meeting-room solutions including a mobile CART for flexible AV deployment, Microsoft Teams Rooms Express Install configurations developed with Microsoft and ecosystem partners, and purpose-built collaboration tables designed to optimise sightlines, ergonomics and integrated connectivity.
Further new professional USB-C and HDMI connectivity solutions and an expanded wireless presentation portfolio featuring VIA and Session Manager were also on show.
Gilad Yron, CEO of Kramer, said: “At ISE 2026, Kramer demonstrated innovation across the entire AV experience – from signal management and AVoIP to audio, collaboration, connectivity, and intelligent management. 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 organisations to design, deploy, and operate AV environments with greater simplicity, consistency, and confidence – at any scale.”
