04/02/26
Day 2 Overview at ISE 2026

As AV systems mature, the focus is shifting from integration to how these platforms are managed, scaled, and sustained over time, as AI moves from a headline feature to an operational tool.

As Day 2 unfolded, this shift was reflected across workplaces, education, retail, and collaborative environments, where advanced displays, immersive visuals, AI-enabled collaboration, and platform-led control highlighted growing demand for systems that scale, integrate, and perform reliably in deployed environments. Here’s what stood out on Day 2.


Sony


Sony showcases its Professional Displays and Solutions, demonstrating how BRAVIA displays, Spatial Reality 3D content, and studio technologies transform corporate, education, retail, and live production spaces through connected, sustainable AV experiences.

One of the key focuses was the new BZ Pro BRAVIA BZ-P Series, a lineup of 16 professional 4K HDR displays from 43 to 85 inches featuring Deep Black Non-Glare panels, up to 700 nits brightness, AI-powered XR processing, built-in signage, robust installation options, improved energy efficiency of around 31 percent, increased use of recycled SORPLAS plastic, and integrated remote management via an ECO Dashboard, with availability expected in summer.

With focus of broadcasting, the Sony BRC-AM7 is a flagship PTZ auto-framing camera for high-end broadcast, studio, and live production, delivering detailed 4K HDR up to 60p with a 1.0-type Exmor RS sensor, BIONZ XR processing, 5K oversampling, and accurate colour via S-Cinetone, ITU709, and S-Log3. It’s AI-driven auto-framing, ultra-quiet direct-drive pan and tilt, a 20x optical zoom, variable electronic ND, and broad IP, VR, AR, and remote production compatibility enable smooth, flexible operation with fewer operators. A great component to feature in a corporate broadcasting setup.


GoBright


Shifting from display and production technology to workplace optimisation, GoBright introduced several new products and enhancements that expand its smart workplace ecosystem and improve how organisations use their office spaces. One of the key innovations is Zone Booking, which simplifies desk booking by allowing employees to reserve a workspace within a specific zone rather than a fixed desk. This approach aligns better with natural work behaviour, supports collaboration within teams, reduces no shows, and delivers more accurate insights into actual workplace usage. GoBright has also launched GoBright IPTV, a new product that enables organisations to display live TV and broadcast content across existing workplace screens, creating an additional, dynamic communication channel without adding technical complexity.

Focusing on the importance of sustainability and energy efficiency in the workplace, GoBright’s new Power Control Plug is an accessory that works in combination with the GoBright Interact desk booking system, ensuring that desk workstations are only powered when a user is checked in. When a desk is not in use, the plug automatically cuts power to connected equipment such as monitors, hubs, and peripherals, preventing unnecessary standby energy consumption. This supports sustainability goals by reducing wasted electricity, lowering overall energy demand, and decreasing the organisation’s environmental impact. From an ROI perspective, the value becomes clear when scaled across the workplace. Even small amounts of standby power per desk can translate into significant annual electricity costs when multiplied across many workstations. By eliminating this waste, the Power Control Plug helps organisations reduce operating costs, improve the efficiency of their energy usage, and achieve measurable financial savings alongside clear environmental benefits, without requiring any change in user behaviour.

In addition, GoBright has significantly enhanced its communication and analytics capabilities. Digital Signage+ has been expanded with a new Template Store offering more than 600 ready-made templates, making it easy to create professional digital signage content quickly and consistently. In-room Signage further increases the value of existing meeting room screens and room panels by displaying both corporate and practical information without new hardware investments. On the data side, the new Behaviour Dashboard, part of Advanced Analytics, provides deep insights into booking behaviour, space usage, and asset performance, helping organisations improve ROI and make data-driven decisions. These innovations are strengthened by new sensoring partnerships with bGrid, PointGrab, and Cisco, which enhance occupancy insights and support a future-ready workplace platform


Q-SYS


Q-SYS once again stood out as one of the most popular booths at ISE, delivering polished presentations and engaging demos. A specialised High-Performance Workplace tour showed how real-time data insights can be captured and applied across every space to create fully customised experiences using the Q-SYS Full Stack AV Platform.
