Is 2026 the year we find one standard to rule them all? Judging by what is being prepared for the show floor, the answer is a resounding no. There will be plenty of Pro AV standards and solutions on display from AV over IP, to IPMX, to HDBaseT.
Before you head to Fira de Barcelona for ISE 2026 on Feb. 3-6, take a look at some products you won't want to miss below.
AIMS to Officially Launch IPMX as a Fully Developed Standard
The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) will mark a major milestone for Pro AV over IP at ISE 2026 with the official launch of Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) as a fully developed, certifiable standard. ISE 2026 will be the first major industry event to showcase formally certified IPMX products. In booth 5K880, AIMS will highlight the first wave of IPMX-compliant products, which successfully completed formal certification during the recent IPMX Product Testing and Certification Event held in Geneva, Switzerland.
To complement the certified products on display at ISE 2026, AIMS will present a live IPMX demo in its booth, focusing on real-world IPMX deployments and practical implementation. The demonstration will highlight the ease of deploying and operating IPMX-based systems, showing how the standard is ready for use in Pro AV environments today. Attendees will also be able to get a preview of the latest IPMX training initiatives that are in development for 2026 and beyond.
IPMX will also be featured in several partner kiosks within the AIMS booth. In these kiosks, member companies Packet Storm, Providius, Evertz, MegaPixel, and Meinberg will demonstrate IPMX-based systems across a wide range of real-world scenarios, including interoperability with SMPTE ST 2110, AES67, JPEG XS, Dante, and more.
Just Add Power Brings Innovative AV over-IP Solutions to Barcelona
Just Add Power will offer an exclusive preview of its latest AV over IP advancements that unlock possibilities for designers, operators, and installers at booth 2Q600.

The Cradle Series RF02 further completes Kiloview’s ecosystem by providing modular encoding, decoding, media gateway card and software-ready computer card with unlimited expansion capabilities. The FXC-A8800 Compute Card brings powerful capabilities for audio/video mixing, switching, graphics processing, and software-defined workflows, allowing for efficient handling of complex production tasks. Together with other expansion cards, the RF02 provides complete end-to-end AV workflow support, covering encoding, decoding, transcoding, multiviewing, routing and more.
PlexusAV to Showcase New HDBaseT 3.0 Solution
PlexusAV is launching its first HDBaseT solutions: the P-AVN-3-HDBT IPMX Gateway Transceiver and P-AVN-WP301H HDBaseT 3.0 Wall Plate, available in both U.S. and EU/UK-W form factors.
The P-AVN-3-HDBT is a high-performance transceiver capable of both encoding and decoding video, built on IPMX open standards for flexible deployment in modern AV networks. It extends HDMI and USB-C signals from the wall plate using proven HDBaseT 3.0 technology and delivers 4K60 performance using JPEG-XS, H.264, and H.265 codecs for high-quality, ultra-low-latency video transport across a range of professional applications.
The P-AVN-WP301H HDBaseT Wall Plate, available in black or white and in US Decora Style designs and EU/UK model/designs, provides a simple and intuitive AV experience with dual HDMI and USB-C inputs, auto-switching, and up to 60W USB-C charging when powered. Built on HDBaseT 3.0, it delivers uncompressed, zero-latency 4K60 video from in-room devices to the P-AVN-3-HDBT or other compatible HDBaseT 3.0 receivers. Its single-cable connection simplifies installation while supporting BYOD workflows across classrooms, meeting rooms, training spaces, hospitality venues, and government environments.
SDVoE Alliance to Highlight Power of 10 in Collaboration With IDK Corporation and Aurora Multimedia
The SDVoE Alliance will present live demonstrations at ISE 2026 in collaboration with SDVoE Alliance members IDK Corporation and Aurora Multimedia. The demonstrations, hosted in the SDVoE Alliance booth, will show the Power of 10 in action across conference rooms and judicial applications.
IDK Corporation will demonstrate its USB Neo Series, including the NJR-L21UC-T encoder and NJR-L31UC-R decoder, designed to support modern conference room workflows. The USB Neo Series transports video and USB peripherals between devices, supporting BYOD/M, auto-switching and call status awareness to maintain the correct host device during a call. By leveraging SDVoE technology for point-to-point or AV-over-IP deployments alongside UEX capabilities, the USB Neo Series offers a flexible, scalable and plug-and-play approach for conference room environments.
