AV Stumpfl will return to Integrated Systems Europe 2026 with a major update to its PIXERA media server platform, highlighting the new PIXERA four GEN2 hardware, the forthcoming PIXERA 26.1 software release and new configuration tools for both media servers and projection screens.

The Austrian manufacturer will exhibit on stand 3A500 in Hall 3 at the Fira Barcelona Gran Via from Feb. 3–6. According to the company, the ISE 2026 lineup reflects increasing demand for higher processing performance and more streamlined system specification across live events, broadcast and permanent installation markets.

The centerpiece of the company’s presentation is the PIXERA four GEN2, the flagship of the PIXERA lineup. The GEN2 series is designed to provide additional processing headroom for real-time graphics applications, extended reality and augmented reality broadcast workflows, and virtual production environments.

AV Stumpfl will also demonstrate PIXERA’s latest SMPTE ST 2110 capabilities, addressing the continued adoption of IP video in broadcast, live events and installation projects. Demonstrations at the show will include Rivermax-based workflows and compatibility with Matrix Video.

On the software side, AV Stumpfl will preview PIXERA 26.1, continuing its transition to a year-based versioning convention introduced with PIXERA 25.x. The change is linked to the company’s Update Access Package model, which provides customers with access to updates and bug fixes over a defined period. AV Stumpfl staff will be available at the stand to discuss how the model applies to existing licenses and how customers can align future upgrades with upcoming projects.

In addition to the standard GEN2 platform, the company will introduce the PIXERA four GEN2 RS, a media server variant optimized for rental and staging environments where durability and reliability are critical.

On the projection screen side of the business, AV Stumpfl will place a strong emphasis on its new screens configurator. The tool is designed to simplify the specification and ordering of complex screen systems by allowing integrators to define parameters such as screen type, size, surface, frame and accessories while generating a consolidated parts list and pricing.

The configurator will be demonstrated alongside new inline screen systems, including the INLINE 125 DEK and INLINE 160 DEK models. These additions expand the company’s INLINE range of discreet roll-up projection screens with new size and installation options for corporate and architectural environments.

AV Stumpfl will also present its PIXERA hardware configurator, which guides users through decisions related to codecs, resolution requirements, output configuration, redundancy strategies and storage needs, recommending appropriate server solutions based on project requirements.

“Our goal with the new products and configurators is simple: we want our customers to spend their time on creative and technical decisions that move their projects forward, not on wrestling with product choices,” said Rainer Brandstätter, head of marketing for AV Stumpfl.

He added, “ISE has always been a place where we can have very concrete conversations about projects. With the new PIXERA models, updates to our software platform and our latest screen innovations, we’re in a stronger position than ever to support those conversations and we look forward to catching up with friends old and new in Barcelona.”
