Kramer, a leader in advanced audio-visual experiences, has announced a massive, application-driven showcase for InfoComm 2026 at Booth C8159. Moving beyond standalone hardware, the company will debut major additions to its integrated AV ecosystem, spanning advanced Signal Management, AV-over-IP (AVoIP), Professional Audio, and centralized AI-enabled automation software designed for modern enterprise, education, and government sectors.
Next-Gen Signal Management and Hardware Innovation
At the forefront of Kramer’s hardware announcements is the premium MTX3-44-PR-PRO all-in-one presentation matrix. This platform consolidates video switching, USB routing, DSP, Dante audio networking, amplification, multi-view processing, and streaming into a single chassis. Alongside the flagship MTX3-88-PR-PRO, these solutions drastically reduce cable clutter and deployment complexity. Kramer is also expanding its hybrid spaces ecosystem with the MTX3-42-HU, unifying HDMI, USB-C, and USB switching onto one collaborative platform.
In the AVoIP domain, Kramer is lowering the barrier to entry with the debut of the KDS-17 Lite and KDS-17 Wall Plate encoders. These solutions allow cost-sensitive environments to standardise on Kramer’s 1G and 10G ecosystem while maintaining full interoperability with the broader KDS-17 portfolio. For ultra-low latency requirements, Kramer will demonstrate its high-performance, SDVoE-based ZyPer4K-XSE platform.
Panta Rhei: AI Management and Dante Integration
On the software front, Kramer is introducing significant upgrades to Panta Rhei, its unified audio-visual management and orchestration platform. A headline capability debuting at InfoComm 2026 is DAPI (Dante API integration). By allowing the Panta Rhei Site Agent to act as a Dante Gateway, the platform automatically discovers Dante-enabled devices. This exposes standardized APIs that simplify routing and end-user audio control, easily folding professional audio workflows into automated room controls.
Targeted Real-World Applications
Rather than showcasing hardware in isolation, Kramer’s InfoComm booth will bring these technologies to life across three distinct vertical market applications:
-
Corporate Collaboration: Kramer will display single- and dual-display hybrid meeting setups utilizing its HU product family to enable seamless Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) workflows. The company will also highlight its collaboration with Ashton Bentley, showcasing pre-engineered, modular meeting room furniture integrated with Kramer AV tech for rapid, repeatable global deployments.
-
Modern Education: Tailored for Higher Education lecture halls and K-12 classrooms, Kramer will demonstrate how its MTX3-88-PR-PRO system handles complex hybrid learning requirements. The setup simplifies auto-switching, audio distribution, and wireless collaboration, minimizing the operational burden on IT support teams.
-
Government & Defense: To meet high-security demands, Kramer has partnered with High Sec Labs (HSL) to showcase secure command-and-control workflows. The demonstration combines Kramer’s KDS-17 AVoIP ecosystem with HSL’s NIAP-certified secure KVM switches and signal isolation technologies, ensuring robust data protection without compromising real-time operator flexibility.
“At InfoComm 2026, we’re demonstrating how AV technology is evolving from standalone products into connected ecosystems,” said Gilad Yron, CEO of Kramer. Dorit Bitter, Chief Product & Technology Officer, added, “Our latest innovations combine advanced AV technologies with IT-ready infrastructure, centralized orchestration, and open integration capabilities that help organizations standardize deployments and simplify operations.”
