Kramer Expands Beyond AV-over-IP With Audio, AI and Collaboration at ISE
Kramer broadened its message at ISE 2026, shifting the focus from individual products to a unified AV ecosystem designed to simplify the design, deployment and management of modern AV environments.
While AV-over-IP remains a core component of its portfolio, Kramer used the show to demonstrate how connectivity, audio, collaboration and centralized management platforms integrate into a cohesive workflow spanning single rooms to multi-site enterprise deployments.
A key focus was Panta Rhei, Kramer’s AV ecosystem platform for monitoring, automation and centralized control of AV-over-IP environments. The company showcased expanded third-party device support and new automation capabilities that enable rule-based actions across rooms, buildings and sites from a single interface. Live demonstrations included an AI-enabled troubleshooting tool intended to help AV teams identify issues faster and reduce system downtime.
In collaboration environments, Kramer highlighted its Ashton Bentley division, presenting engineered meeting-room systems designed to reduce installation variability and deliver consistent user experiences. New offerings included a mobile cart solution for flexible deployments and Microsoft Teams Rooms Express Install configurations developed with Microsoft and ecosystem partners.
Kramer also introduced its HU product family, designed to unify HDMI, USB-C and USB switching and extension into a single platform. Built to support bring-your-own-device and hybrid workflows, the HU ecosystem enables switching, extension, charging and data transmission across meeting rooms and classrooms, and is compatible with Kramer’s Series-3 extenders.
In professional audio, the company expanded its Dante-based portfolio with additional PoE-powered loudspeakers in ceiling, wall-mounted and pendant formats. By combining audio, power and control over standard network infrastructure, the speakers are designed to simplify installation and support scalable deployments across corporate, education, hospitality and retail environments.
Wireless collaboration solutions, including VIA and Session Manager, were also demonstrated, emphasizing centralized management and integration with existing AV and IT infrastructure to support hybrid meeting workflows.
“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 organisations to design, deploy, and operate AV environments with greater simplicity, consistency, and confidence — at any scale.”
Kramer said its unified approach is intended to help organizations standardize AV architectures while maintaining flexibility as system requirements evolve.
