Kramer has launched a range of products and solutions, corresponding with its strategy and vision for the future which was first launched at last year’s ISE.

The company is aiming to become the ‘all-round choice’ for audio-visual customers.

By listening to their needs, identifying pain points, pioneering an open ecosystem, and focusing on ease of use, Kramer is bringing several innovative, future-proofed products and solutions to the market that seamlessly power collaboration and engagement.

Firstly, Kramer launched the fourth generation of its VIA wireless content collaboration platform, to address the new needs of today’s hybrid world and simplify integration into IT environments. With the newly designed VIA 4.0 interface, joining a meeting and sharing content wirelessly are quick and effortless. Participants are connected through the secured VIA hotspot and other collaboration devices, and when the session ends, the presenter and presented content are automatically disconnected, ensuring data privacy and security.

Kramer will also showcase quicklaunch EDU, a simple, secure, and customizable teaching software solution designed specifically for education needs. quicklaunch EDU features an easy-to-use interface for quick access to all required teaching tools, class schedule information, personal user sign-in, and can be used with Zoom services. It’s based on the success of the existing quicklaunch Enterprise platform, an ultra-fast and secure way for organizations to launch and control any meeting regardless of conferencing provider, which will also be exhibited at ISE 2023.

Kramer’s new Series 3 portfolio of fully interoperable, advanced audio-visual signal management will include matrices, switchers, extenders, distribution amplifiers, and multiviewers. These Series 3 products now support long-distance, end-to-end 4K60 video transmission from remote devices and fast switching (<1sec) for mission-critical applications.

Also on show at ISE is Kramer KDS-100, the complete and versatile AVoIP streaming solution for 1GE (1Gbps) networks that makes the most of the H.264/265 open standard. KDS-100 is ideal for any space or use case requiring low-latency, high-quality video presentation up to 4K60, such as operations rooms, university auditoriums, highly secure command and control centers, and AVoIP distribution deployments. KDS-100’s minimal bandwidth means it can be deployed over existing infrastructure, saving tremendous costs for both end users and integrators.

Understanding the importance of agility and simplicity for all Control needs, the updated Kramer Control platform enables the set-up and customization of in-room experiences in minutes, with zero programming. It offers numerous new space-specific templates, a first-ever drag and drop interface, and control of any AV and room automation device via the cloud or on-premises. Plus, an advanced dashboard now powers organic analytics and the delivery of organization insights, customized alerts, room usage, device status, remote control, and much more.

Kramer will also showcase its expanded portfolio of enhanced USB-C products. The premium-grade CONNECT USB-C range now features passive, active and AOC (hybrid) cables up to 50m long, offering exceptionally long-distance transmission of 4K60 video and 10 Gbps data, 60W charging, Ethernet over USB-C, and more. The range is available in a versatile array of subsets, with flexible toolsets enabling users to connect any setup and blend of devices, at any distance, and only pay for what they need.

And finally, Kramer’s new portfolio of Customer Services comprises tailored support for every stage of audio-visual development, from design to installation, programming, configuration, commissioning, and troubleshooting, to extended warranties and professional training.

Kramer chief executive, Gilad Yron, says: “The audio-visual landscape is continuing to undergo an extraordinary transformation, so I’m proud that Kramer has cemented itself at the forefront of the industry through our latest collection of audio-visual innovations. It’s fantastic to see our strategic investment into understanding the day-to-day needs of end-users, fostering an interoperable, open product ecosystem, and creating solutions that are easy to implement and easy to use, make a real difference globally.”
