At ISE 2026 we speak with Andy Bellamy from AJA about the UDC-4K and how it brings powerful up, down, and cross conversion into a compact, robust form factor.

AJA outlines how the UDC-4K supports conversion from 720p through to 4K, with both 12G SDI and HDMI inputs, full frame synchronisation, frame rate conversion, and distribution amplifier functionality. Designed for broadcast and AV environments, the unit can be configured locally using the built-in front display or remotely via USB-C, and is suitable for fixed installations or mobile workflows. The UDC-4K is available now.

At ISE 2026 we speak with Andy Bellamy from AJA about the BRIDGE family, including BRIDGE LIVE 12G-4, BRIDGE 3G-8, and BRIDGE NDI, and how they connect SDI, NDI, and streaming workflows.

Andy explains how the BRIDGE range acts as a gateway between baseband video and IP streaming, supporting formats such as SDI, NDI, SRT, JPEG XS, and H.265. We look at how BRIDGE LIVE 12G-4 and BRIDGE 3G-8 handle high-density video pipelines, audio remapping, and multi-destination streaming, while BRIDGE NDI focuses on bi-directional NDI conversion. Designed for broadcast, AV, corporate, and live environments, the BRIDGE family combines flexibility, redundancy, and fast setup in a compact platform.

At ISE 2026 we talk to Ivy Li from Telycam about Mix One, a new PTZ-centric video switcher and controller designed to simplify live production workflows.

Ivy introduces Mix One as an all-in-one solution combining PTZ camera control, live switching, streaming, and recording in a single unit. Supporting up to six video inputs, Mix One is built for PTZ-focused production environments. The system includes integrated joystick control, a dedicated PTZ control screen, local SD card recording, and tight integration with Telycam PTZ cameras for features such as auto-tracking configuration.

Join us at ISE 2026 as we speak with Joris Nevens from Lumens about the new LC100A and how it expands lecture capture with real-time, multi-user annotation.

Lumens explains how the LC100A builds on the LC100 platform by adding an annotator layer, allowing up to four users to draw, mark up, and annotate video or image sources simultaneously. Designed with paperless courtrooms in mind, the system supports secure collaboration and equal participation, with annotations streamed or shared over the network using the OIP60D. Beyond judicial use, the LC100A is suited to education, training rooms, and specialist environments such as science labs. Availability begins early Q2.

Join us at ISE 2026 as we speak with Joris Nevens from Lumens about VoiceConnect and how it enables intelligent speaker tracking using in-camera audio detection rather than ceiling microphones.

Joris explains how VoiceConnect uses the built-in beamforming microphones inside the TR60A and TR60A Dante cameras to detect where speech is coming from, while the OIP60D adds an AI agent that selects the best camera angle based on both sound location and visual analysis. Designed for larger and more complex spaces, the system supports up to four cameras, works with a wide range of audio setups, and is ideal for meeting rooms and training environments. The solution is available now.

At ISE 2026 we speak with Joris Nevens from Lumens about their new BC200 technology and how CamConnect is redefining voice-tracked camera control for flexible meeting and training spaces.

Lumens demonstrates how CamConnect works with the BC200 sensor camera and TR60A PTZ cameras to automatically track speakers without fixed presets, combining microphone positioning with visual sensing so cameras follow participants as they move, stand, or sit. The system integrates with leading microphone brands, supports reconfigurable rooms, and is available now.

At IBC 2025, we speak with Suzana Brady from Cobalt Digital about their new compact audio monitor, which has been shipping for the past couple of months. This best-in-class monitor features SGI, MADI, AES, balanced analogue audio, and for the first time, 2110 support. In just a couple of weeks, it will also support Dante, making it a highly versatile solution for broadcast and mobile environments.

Two models are available: a horizontal eight-button model and a V-shape model with a single button for easier operation, especially in TV stations. The LCD display can show up to 16 SGI channels, 64 MADI channels, or 64 Dante channels, and the unit can be configured via both the front panel and web GUI.

At IBC 2025, we speak with Ciro Noronha from Cobalt Digital about the UltraBlue MultiViewer, a software-based solution that runs on a PC. Sold either as a software package or a turnkey solution, UltraBlue supports compressed streams, 2110 baseband streams over fiber, and SDI feeds.

Ciro demonstrates how users can easily customise their multi-viewer setup, from resizing and positioning PIP windows to adding clocks and managing inputs through the intuitive user interface. The system also features alarm notifications for issues such as incorrect video resolutions and offers full control over the display, including the ability to change alarm colours and text.

At IBC 2025, we speak with Suzana Brady from Cobalt Digital about updates to their Sapphire converter lineup. These units, available in single, dual, and quad-channel variations, support 2110, SMPTE 227, and IPMX standards. The two-channel bidirectional units allow for simultaneous receiving and transmitting over HDMI and SDI.

IPMX, based on 2110, bridges the gap between broadcast and proAV markets. With plug-and-play simplicity, IPMX provides an easy-to-implement solution for corporate IT environments compared to the traditional complexity of proprietary systems.

The Sapphire converters are ideal for remote production, control suites, and editing. With fanless models offering quiet operation, these units are already being used in a variety of broadcast and AV applications.

At IBC 2025, we speak with Suzana Brady from Cobalt Digital about the latest openGear cards and solutions, including their quad-channel 12G frame sync, auto changeover bypass protection switch, and Dante embedded cards. As one of the founding partners of openGear, Cobalt is showcasing its extensive range of products, from fiber cards to 2110 support with the Indigo bidirectional gateway.

Cobalt’s Sapphire product line continues to offer top-selling up/down cross converters. Suzana highlights two key cards: the 9904, a 4K one-channel card that supports HDR conversion, and the 9905, a 3G quad-channel card designed for static conversion. Suzana also discusses the addition of 2110 inputs to their longstanding openGear encoder and the ultra-low latency decoder for real-time applications.
