THIS IS A PROMOTED POST
Welcome to this series highlighting some of the manufacturers and brands that will be featured on the show floor at ISE 2025. As we gear up for the event, we wanted to share a preview of what these companies are bringing to the table — from new products to insights about their focus for the show. These conversations offer a closer look at what you can expect and a chance to get to know the people behind the brands before the doors open in Barcelona. This interview is with PlexusAV’s Steven Cogels, global director of business development.
Q: Why is PlexusAV exhibiting at ISE this year?
A: Integrated Systems Europe offers us an incredible opportunity to showcase our new developments and existing products to end users, integrators, designers, IT managers and consultants from around the world. PlexusAV is showcasing our latest innovations in AV-over-IP solutions, emphasizing interoperability, user-centric design and the potential of standards-based technologies. We want to demonstrate how we’re reshaping the industry and provide hands-on opportunities for attendees to experience our cutting-edge products.
Q: What trends do you think we’ll see on the show floor, and how is your company positioned to capitalize on these opportunities?
A: The usage of IP networks for AV signal distribution and management is growing faster than ever. One of the key trends we anticipate is the industry’s continued shift toward flexible and interoperable solutions that work across diverse technologies and standards. AV professionals and end-users are seeking products that can seamlessly adapt to different workflows, networks, and use cases without being locked into a specific ecosystem.
PlexusAV is uniquely positioned to lead in this space. Our solutions, such as the Stream Conversion Gateway, are designed to bridge the gap between legacy and emerging technologies, supporting a wide array of protocols, including IPMX, NDI-HX, SRT, RTSP, MPEG-TS, RTMP and more. This versatility ensures that our products meet the needs of AV professionals working with diverse systems, whether they are upgrading legacy setups or implementing cutting-edge networks.
Another significant trend is the shift towards integrated ecosystems that deliver end-to-end management capabilities, including monitoring, alarming and remote control. Our products stand out in this space because they are all built on a true open standard, ensuring seamless integration with third-party software and cloud solutions. This openness makes connecting with diverse technologies and platforms effortless and efficient, giving our users a significant edge in versatility and interoperability.
PlexusAV’s AVN-2 combines HEVC and H.264 compression with IPMX capabilities, delivering high-quality, low-latency streams over 1GB networks. Designed for corporate campuses, education and multi-building setups, it offers bandwidth efficiency without sacrificing performance.
Q: What new products or solutions are you showcasing at ISE, and how do they address current industry challenges?
A: We are thrilled to showcase:
- P-AVN-2: Combines HEVC and H.264 compression with IPMX capabilities to deliver ultra-low-latency, high-quality streams, even in bandwidth-constrained networks.
- Stream Conversion Gateway (P-AVN-SCG): Solves the challenge of integrating legacy and modern technologies with support for multiple protocols like IPMX, NDI-HX, SRT, and more.
- Visual Array: Simplifies system deployment and monitoring, offering intuitive tools for managing complex networks and third-party device integration.
- AVN-4 Transceiver: Now with enhanced features like high compression streaming, expanded resolution support, and one-click source switching.
These products address pain points such as system compatibility, efficient resource utilization, and ease of use, ensuring AV professionals have solutions that align with evolving industry demands.
Q: How is your company expanding its global presence besides exhibiting at ISE 2025?
A: PlexusAV is continuing to expand its global footprint, actively seeking strategic distribution partners in the EMEA markets. This approach ensures that customers benefit from local expertise, readily available stock, and dedicated support, fostering stronger connections and streamlined service in these regions.
While events like ISE are a key part of our global strategy, our commitment goes beyond exhibitions. We are focused on empowering AV professionals worldwide through initiatives such as education programs, engaging webinars and localized support services.
By combining a global vision with local presence, PlexusAV delivers innovative solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs of the AV community, wherever they are.
Q: Why should ISE 2025 attendees visit your booth?
A: Our booth at ISE 2025 (Hall 5, Booth 5L150) will offer a firsthand look at the next generation of AV-over-IP solutions. Attendees will see live demonstrations of how our products solve real-world challenges with ease, from bandwidth-constrained streaming to seamless protocol conversions.
Visitors can also explore the simplicity of the Visual Array system, which transforms complex setups into cohesive, manageable networks.
Plus, our team will be on hand to discuss your unique needs and how PlexusAV can help.
Q: Anything else you’d like to add?
A: Yes, and while it seems impossible — if all the above didn’t convince you to visit our booth in Hall 5, stand 5L15. Happy hour is every day from 16.00!
