Get ready. The most vital Pro AV show in the world returns to the Las Vegas Convention Center from June 13-19. To get you ready for InfoComm 2026, SCN continues its annual preview of the show, taking you behind the scenes, and allowing several exhibitors to talk trends, technology, inspiration, and provide an exclusive special sneak preview of what they’ll show in their booths.

Today, Ivy Li, marketing director, Telycam, talks about Mix One, PTZ cameras, and simplified workflows in house of worship, education, healthcare, government, live events, and corporate environments.
SCN: What is your company’s story at InfoComm this year?
Ivy Li: At InfoComm 2026, our story is about evolution—from a PTZ camera innovator to a provider of integrated, PTZ-first production solutions. PTZ cameras have become central to how modern productions are built and run. That shift is changing what teams actually need — less about adding more devices, and more about how everything works together in a coherent workflow.
Mix One is our response to that. It combines switching, graphics, recording, streaming, and PTZ control in a single compact platform—designed around how PTZ-driven productions actually operate, rather than adapted from traditional broadcast architecture. The broader direction is clear: Production setups are getting leaner, more flexible, and easier to operate without sacrificing output quality. That is the space we are building in.
SCN: Why is InfoComm such an important show for you and your company?
IL: InfoComm is one of the few events where we get direct, meaningful access to the full breadth of Pro AV verticals we serve—education, healthcare, government, live events, corporate and houses of worship. Each of those markets has distinct workflow requirements and pain points. What an integrator deploying systems in a hospital needs from a camera is genuinely different from what a university AV team or a government communications office is dealing with. InfoComm gives us the opportunity to have those specific conversations rather than defaulting to a one-size-fits-all pitch.
As the market continues to evolve, that kind of direct market intelligence is truly valuable to us. The feedback we gather from integrators and end users on the show floor—what is working, what is missing, where the friction is in real deployments—feeds directly back into how we develop and position products. It is not something you can replicate from a distance.
SCN: What do you expect the buzz to be on the InfoComm 2026 show floor?
IL: One of the biggest themes will continue to be the convergence of broadcast and AV workflows. Expectations for high-quality video experiences have expanded far beyond traditional media production, and users today increasingly expect broadcast-level production value in corporate communications, collaboration environments, education and live events. Ultimately, the goal is no longer just about technology itself, but about delivering better overall meeting and communication experiences.
Another key topic will be the continued maturity of IP-based infrastructure. AVoIP is no longer viewed as an emerging trend—it is increasingly becoming part of standard system architecture. Rather than replacing traditional video infrastructure entirely, IP-based workflows are now commonly deployed alongside conventional signal distribution systems as part of a hybrid environment.
SCN: How dominant have PTZ cameras become for studio and on-location productions?
IL: PTZ cameras have moved from the edges of professional production into the center of it. That shift has been gradual, but at this point it is fairly hard to dispute. The change is partly technical. Image quality, autofocus, and motion control have all improved to the point where PTZ systems can handle work that previously required manned cameras. But the more important driver is operational. Production teams across almost every vertical are being asked to do more with less—fewer crew, smaller budgets, faster delivery. PTZ cameras fit that environment naturally. The result is that multi-camera PTZ setups are now commonplace in corporate studios, education, houses of worship, live events, and broadcast news. They are not being used as a workaround. They are being designed into productions from the start. Production workflows that once required significant infrastructure and specialist crew are now accessible to a much broader range of organizations. PTZ cameras are a big part of why that is happening.
