SCN: What is your company’s story at InfoComm this year?

Bob Caniglia: Our focus this year is on how live production, broadcast, and AV workflows are continuing to become more accessible and efficient. At InfoComm, we’re highlighting how organizations can build end-to-end workflows that are easy to implement, cost effective, and still deliver broadcast-quality results. It’s less about any single product and more about how everything connects to support today’s level of content creation and distribution.

SCN: Why is InfoComm such an important show for you and your company?

RC: InfoComm is unique because it brings together a wide range of professionals, from corporate AV teams and live event producers to systems integrators and broadcasters. For us, it’s a valuable opportunity to listen and learn. We get feedback from users working in very different environments, which helps us with workflow design, usability and integration.

SCN: What do you expect the buzz to be on the InfoComm 2026 show floor?

RC: We’re seeing growing interest in IP-based workflows, remote production capabilities, and tools that reduce complexity without sacrificing quality. As more organizations are producing video content in-house, there’s a strong focus on solutions that are intuitive and robust, without requiring highly specialized teams to operate them.

SCN: How is the convergence between broadcast and Pro AV impacting your product development?

RC: Many of the same tools and expectations now apply across both the broadcast and Pro AV industries, whether it’s reliability, image quality, or ease of use. As such, one key focus for us is flexibility. Products need to work across a variety of environments, from traditional broadcast settings to corporate, education and live event spaces. The convergence is also driving a greater emphasis on interoperability and standards-based workflows, so that different systems can work together more seamlessly. We’re working to future-proof our solutions with the goal of giving users the ability to create professional-quality content regardless of the setting or scale.
