Conferencing manufacturer Boom Collaboration has launched a ‘meeting room in-a-box’ video kit range, to be officially unveiled at the ISE tech show for the first time. The all-in-one solutions feature video and audio hardware plus a one-cable-connection hub—designed to simplify installations and capitalize on high demand for Bring Your Own Device deployments.

A BYOD Large Videobar Kit for example, can be found on stand 2S240. It features the HALO video bar, two mics, and the ZYGO multi-connectivity station. It is complemented by a BYOD Small Room kit comprising the MEZZO 4K camera, GIRO PRO speakerphone, and ZYGO hub. Many other variants will be showcased too.

Visitors will be able to experience the HALO videobar which boasts ultra HD 4K performance, a wide angle 120-degree field of view, AI Auto-framing and speaker-tracking, 10x ePTZ, six digital array mics plus the option of up to eight additional expandable mics. It’s available in black or white colors.

Guntermann & Drunck GmbH (G&D) is boosting efficiency and security in control rooms. Attendees to booth 5G350 will experience firsthand how G&D optimizes work environments with advanced KVM and multi-viewing solutions, as well as smart security features.

The new workplace module, DynamicWorkplace-CON, can be seamlessly integrated with a digital G&D matrix system in an overall installation. It enables the display of all relevant information on one or more high-resolution monitors. This allows for the consolidation of multiple CON modules and their associated monitors, resulting in an efficient, organized, and straightforward work environment. This integration significantly reduces the physical strain on users while simultaneously improving response times in critical decision-making scenarios.

The PersonalWorkplace-Controller combines multi-viewing control and keyboard-mouse interactivity for one or more operators or video walls. Through local integration at the workplace, users gain flexible access to physical sources and streams. This makes the video processing tool ideal for less connected work environments. Modified arrangements of operational processes also significantly improve workplace ergonomics. The real-time display of multiple computer sources on a large monitor, and thus the practically latency-free operation of multiple computers via a single console, simplifies tasks. In this way, active work areas and monitoring areas can be ergonomically set up on larger screens.

G&D underlines its commitment to security with the introduction of the SecureCert feature, which ensures that the KVM-over-IP systems comply with strict certification guidelines for mission-critical environments. SecureCert ensures that G&D’s KVM-over-IP systems adhere to the requirements of three key certifications: FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria and DoDIN APL. These standards are essential for security-critical environments, whether for data encryption, IT security policies or for use in sensitive networks, for example in government institutions. With this feature, operators can be confident that the products meet the highest regulatory requirements and can be used reliably in security-critical applications.

Launched at ISE 2023 and updated continuously to meet the unique requirements of individual businesses, the cloud-based PPDS Wave ecosystem takes a fresh approach to the way businesses manage, monitor, and control their display fleets, while unlocking the full potential of their Philips Professional Displays. Updates will be revealed at this year's show. 

Further adding to its commitment to a more sustainable AV industry, Philips Professional Displays will also be sponsoring and supporting the first ever ISE Sustainability Hackathon. Taking place over two days, teams of students will work together intensively at Fira de Barcelona to address a real-world challenge in the field of sustainability, with access to PPDS’ product and business managers, as well as the sustainability team.


Jetbuilt to Showcase Jetbot Service Desk and Project Platform for Everyone

Jetbuilt is set to debut platform updates at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2025. Leading these updates is the AI-driven Jetbot Service Desk, a key addition to the Service module. Jetbuilt’s Project Platform for Everyone initiative will also take center stage, demonstrating how it unites all project stakeholders—manufacturers, consultants, integrators, vendors, and end users—into a seamless ecosystem of communication and collaboration.

Jetbot Service Desk is an AI-powered solution that enables 24/7 automated, device-specific troubleshooting that eliminates the guesswork typically involved with diagnosing issues. Its integration within the wider project management environment ensures it understands every detail of a device’s role within an AV system, so users simply scan a device’s QR code for instant, targeted guidance, eliminating wait times and enabling rapid resolution without human intervention.

Jetbot Service Desk also auto-generates support logs and tickets, keeping integrators informed while freeing up their resources for critical tasks. This proactive, self-service tool empowers end users, minimizes downtime and sets a new standard in AV service efficiency and user satisfaction.

Jetbuilt’s Project Platform For Everyone strategy and Client Portal module fuels collaboration across the channel. This makes pertinent information, such as project status, drawings and designs, equipment manuals and other project details, available for everyone in real-time. End users can create project overviews and collaborate with their consultant throughout the design process to source the best products, then share the itemized list with their integrator to generate a quote. Integrators can access their unique pricing from distributors and manufacturers and see real-time availability of products, then send an accurate quotation back to the end user.
