Visionary to Showcase XB5 USB-C Conferencing Bridge, 5 Series Wallplates and IPTV Solutions at ISE 2026

Visionary will showcase new AV-over-IP solutions at Integrated Systems Europe 2026, focused on simplifying how personal devices connect to professional AV systems. The highlight is the XB5 USB-C Conferencing Bridge, which lets users connect a laptop to room AV using a single USB-C cable for 4K video, audio, USB, networking, and charging. Visionary will also present new 5 Series Wallplates that bring flexible in-wall encoding and decoding options for modern conference rooms, classrooms, and collaboration spaces.

Alongside conferencing and AV transport, Visionary will demonstrate PackeTV, its on-premise IPTV and digital signage platform. Designed for IT-driven environments, PackeTV enables centralized distribution of live TV, video-on-demand, and signage across enterprise networks without ongoing cloud licensing. Together, these solutions emphasize reliability, scalability, and easy integration for IT teams managing networked AV deployments.

Visionary, a leading global innovator in the AV-over-IP industry, will showcase the XB5 USB-C Conferencing Bridge along with three high-performance 5 Series Wallplates at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) from February 3–6, 2026. In addition, Visionary will highlight its PackeTV IPTV and Digital Signage System, an on-premise IP-based platform for enterprise video distribution and content management.

The XB5 USB-C Conferencing Bridge and 5 Series Wallplates expand Visionary’s AV-over-IP portfolio with additional options for BYOD conferencing, in-wall connectivity and scalable 1GbE networked AV system design. PackeTV further extends Visionary’s portfolio by enabling centralized delivery of live television, video-on-demand and digital signage across enterprise networks without cloud-based licensing dependencies.

The XB5 USB-C Conferencing Bridge is designed to integrate personal laptops into AV-over-IP environments using a single cable. The device delivers bi-directional 4K60 4:4:4 video, high-quality audio, wired Ethernet and up to 100W of charging through one USB-C connection. The XB5 USB-C Conferencing Bridge integrates natively with Visionary’s 1GbE AV-over-IP ecosystem and supports UVC and UAC protocols for plug-and-play compatibility with Windows, macOS and ChromeOS devices.

“The XB5 USB-C Conferencing Bridge addresses a common challenge in modern meeting spaces by simplifying how personal devices connect to networked audiovisual systems,” said Scott Freshman, chief operating officer for Visionary. “By combining video, audio, USB and charging into a single USB-C connection, the XB5 reduces system complexity while maintaining the performance and flexibility integrators expect from AV-over-IP.”

Intended for conference rooms, boardrooms, classrooms and other professional audiovisual spaces, the XB5 USB-C Conference Bridge enables users to connect their laptops directly to room AV systems without the need for software installation or driver configuration. Users gain immediate access to in-room cameras, microphones, speakers and displays while using their preferred soft codec, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Webex.

The XB5 USB-C Conferencing Bridge consolidates USB extension, video switching and audio interfacing into a single compact device. It is compatible with Visionary’s 5 Series endpoints and supports AES67 and Dante audio, including embedding and de-embedding of AEC-processed audio. PoE+ power support and a fanless design simplify installation and improve long-term reliability.

Additionally, Visionary will introduce three new 5 Series Wallplate models designed for in-wall installations and flexible AV environments.

The DuetE5-WP-C wallplate encoder combines USB-C and HDMI inputs in a two-gang form factor. It supports AV-over-IP encoding of 4K60 4:4:4 video and USB sources from USB-C or HDMI-equipped devices. The USB-C input supports DisplayPort Alt Mode video, USB-over-IP and AES67 and Dante audio embedding and de-embedding while maintaining compatibility with Visionary’s 5 Series ecosystem.

The DuetE5-WP-C-BT builds on the DuetE5-WP-C by adding integrated Bluetooth audio. The additional wireless input option allows users to stream audio from mobile devices directly into the AV-over-IP network, supporting hybrid spaces and meeting rooms that require both wired and wireless connectivity.

Completing the lineup, the DuetD-5-WP is a wallplate decoder featuring an HDMI output and two USB-C ports for full USB-over-IP support. The decoder is designed for in-wall installations where users need to receive high-quality video and interact with USB devices such as cameras, touch panels and HID peripherals in soft codec environments.

All three wallplate models support AES67 and Dante audio networking, VLAN tagging and standard PoE power. Each incorporates core 5 Series capabilities, including ultra-low latency 4K60 4:4:4 video transmission, independent USB-over-IP routing and a 45-degree Ethernet connector to simplify installation.

Visionary will also demonstrate the PackeTV IPTV and Digital Signage System, a unified, on-premise platform for distributing live TV, video-on-demand, custom channels and digital signage over IP networks. Designed for centralized management and scalable, multi-site deployments, PackeTV supports multicast and unicast streaming and is managed through a secure, web-based interface.

PackeTV is available without ongoing cloud-based licensing and can be delivered on pre-configured hardware or deployed in a customer’s preferred virtual machine environment. The system is engineered for high-availability applications in hospitality, corporate, healthcare, and educational facilities, providing reliable, network-optimized content delivery with low operational overhead.

Experience the XB5 USB-C Conferencing Bridge, 5 Series Wallplates and PackeTV at ISE 2026 in Visionary’s stand, 2U100, from February 3–6, 2026, at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via in Barcelona, Spain.
