With the InfoComm 2023 show floor opening in just about a month, here are some exhibitors you won't want to miss.

The Road to InfoComm 2023 is officially open, as the show is just over a month away. We'll do our best to keep you up to date with all the products and news information ahead of time. Today, take a look at some KVM and AVoIP innovations heading to Orlando in June.

VuWall will introduce its PAK KVM feature in version 3.5 of the TRx centralized management platform, and the VuStream 350 IP KVM encoder, in booth 1829. In addition, on June 15, Nick Mathis, VuWall's director of business development, will participate in an AVIXA educational panel session sharing his expertise on "AV-over-IP and Networked Video Walls: The Evolution of Control Rooms."

At InfoComm 2023, VuWall will demonstrate the newest version of TRx, a platform that combines AV-over-IP distribution, advanced multivideo wall control, and KVM management. Attendees will see how its new PAK KVM feature allows operators to control remote IP sources using keyboard and mouse on their personal video wall, local displays, or the main video wall. With TRx, users can configure, manage, and distribute virtually any source type to any display with an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface. The new TRx KVM capabilities are ideal for multiroom visualization, situational awareness, control rooms, and remote operator environments.

VuWall will also showcase its new VuStream 350 IP KVM encoder appliance, which securely delivers high-quality video up to 4K performance over standard Gigabit Ethernet at low bitrates and ultra-low latency. VuStream 350 transmits HDMI video and audio, as well as keyboard and mouse on an encrypted AES-256 signal. It is fully compatible with VuWall's TRx centralized management software, ControlVu PoE touch panels, and PAK video wall processing nodes.

The company will also demonstrate the compact all-in-one VuStream 550 appliance on its SDVoE video wall. The VuStream 550 can be used as an SDVoE encoder or multiview decoder, for fiber or copper infrastructures. It is designed for distributing 4K60 video and audio over standard 10Gb IP network switches with no latency, providing an ultra-scalable, easy to deploy, highly reliable solution.

At booth 2749, Guntermann & Drunck (G&D) will present its latest, German engineered, KVM solutions and their seamless integration into AV systems. G&D's products ensure the best possible system homogeneity and interoperability in control room installations.

To make the work of control room staff smarter and improve their working conditions, G&D develop reliable KVM products, making the equipment in use more secure while also enhancing ergonomics. On display at InfoComm will be:

PlexusAV is launching the AVN4 4K transceiver, which can be used as encoder or decoder. Based on the framework of SMPTE ST 2110, PlexusAV's AVN series eliminates the stress of selecting an AV-over-IP technology by leveraging a standards-based solution.

The PlexusAV ecosystem is built for interoperability because it's based on the AIMS Alliance IPMX proposed standard, which is built on SMPTE ST 2110. Designed to enable transport of compressed and uncompressed video, audio, and data over IP networks, PlexusAV's integration of IPMX specifications and standards addresses the professional AV industry's need for a single set of common, ubiquitous standards-based protocols that ensure interoperability for AV-over-IP. Designed for higher education, large venues, healthcare, enterprise and other applications, PlexusAV simplifies AV-over-IP by offering multiple versions of encoders and decoders to create an innovative, accessible and human-centric ecosystem.

Magewell is bringing exciting demonstrations of its latest solutions to InfoComm 2023 in Orlando next month. Exhibiting in booth 2855, the company will showcase recent releases alongside established products and some new surprises.
