Just Add Power will preview its latest AV-over-IP innovations at ISE 2026, showcasing new tools designed to make AV system design, installation, and control easier and more scalable for IT and AV professionals. Live demos at booth 2Q600 will highlight solutions that simplify rack installations, enable seamless KVM control, and unlock new creative possibilities for multi-screen and high-resolution video environments.
The company’s newest MaxColor products focus on reducing complexity while expanding flexibility in 4K60 AV-over-IP deployments. From streamlined rackmount encoders and USB-based KVM over IP to advanced tiling and warping for large video walls, these solutions are built to help IT teams deploy reliable, high-performance AV systems with less effort and greater creative control.
Just Add Power, a leader in AV-over-IP distribution, today announced it will offer an exclusive preview of its latest AV-over-IP advancements that unlock possibilities for designers, operators, and installers at ISE 2026, Feb 3-6, in Barcelona. At booth 2Q600, attendees can experience live demonstrations of Just Add Power’s new MC-TX1-RACK Rackmount MaxColor Encoder as well as the MC-USB device for keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) control, and the MC-QX MaxColor 4K60 Tiling and Warping Encoder for dynamic display layouts and multiscreen scenarios.
“We are incredibly excited to return to Barcelona and share how Just Add Power is continuing to make AV-over-IP deployments more simple, accessible, and scalable,” said Ed Qualls, CEO of Just Add Power. “Whether it’s expanding installs with our Rackmount MaxColor encoder, simple KVM control with the MC-USB device, or the creative visual possibility unlocked by the MC-QX encoder, Just Add Power makes the lives of installers easier by giving them all the tools they need to create and control stunning AV-over-IP projects.”
Simplifying Installs with the MC-TX1-RACK Encoder
The new MC-TX1-RACK encoder combines three MC-TX1 MaxColor 4K60 4:4:4 HDMI encoders into a single rackmount chassis, streamlining cable management, reducing clutter, and significantly speeding up installation for both compact and large-scale AV-over-IP systems. This innovation is the first of its kind in the MaxColor lineup and centralizes multiple encoders to reduce points of failure and simplify troubleshooting, ensuring reliable system performance and easy access to all connections via front-facing ports. Supporting all audio formats and featuring Audio Return Channel (ARC) functionality for seamless two-way audio integration, the MC-TX1-RACK makes sophisticated AV setups more efficient and powerful than ever.
Effortless Control with the MC-USB Device
The MaxColor™ USB 2.0 over IP device (MC-USB) represents a significant leap forward in integrated system control. A unique addition to the MaxColor family that can be integrated as an encoder or a decoder, the MC-USB provides access to all computers on a system with built-in KVM control, plus touchscreen and webcam interface. This device enables flexible access and robust control over distant computers, ensuring efficiency and security in 4K60 UltraHD environments. With one USB-C 2.0 port on the back and two USB-C 2.0 ports and two USB-A 2.0 ports on the front, all connected over an RJ-45 1GbE LAN port, the MC-USB delivers comprehensive KVM and hotkey support, making it an essential tool for AV, IT, and broadcast environments demanding precise control and seamless user interaction.
Unlocking AV-over-IP Creativity with the MC-QX
The MC-QX MaxColor 4K60 Tiling and Warping Encoder combines Just Add Power’s cutting-edge MaxColor technology, 4K network video tiler, and Warp Engine technology into a single, powerful device. This innovative encoder allows up to four 4K60 source devices to be simultaneously displayed on a single screen in multiple formats, including single-screen, tiled video, or custom layout. With its warping capability, installers can rotate any source image in a Just Add Power matrix in 0.1-degree increments in real time, sending the rotated image to an unlimited number of Decoders for the creation of massive artistic video walls. The MC-QX truly empowers integrators to imagine the possibilities for dynamic, multi-source video environments, from sports bars and casinos to digital art installations.
