    Ashton Bentley Strengthens Cisco Collaboration with a new MX Replacement Solution

    Ashton Bentley, a Kramer company, has introduced its new ABMX Display Mount range, designed to simplify upgrades from legacy Cisco MX Series systems to modern Cisco Room Bar and Room Kit collaboration solutions. Built on Ashton Bentley’s Cisco Certified Display Mount Chassis platform, the new range offers a structured and scalable migration path with integrated mounting, cable management, power distribution, and easy service access. The tool-less design helps reduce installation time, cost, and complexity, making meeting room upgrades faster and more efficient.

    The solution supports a wide range of Cisco collaboration devices and flexible deployment options, including freestanding, mobile, and floor-to-wall configurations. Compatible with multi-platform meeting environments such as Webex, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet, the platform enables organizations to standardize meeting spaces while future-proofing their collaboration investments. Optional AV infrastructure further simplifies room design by replacing traditional rack-based systems with a streamlined architecture for modern hybrid workspaces.

    Ashton Bentley, a Kramer company, today announced the launch of its new ABMX Display Mount range, strengthening its collaboration with Cisco and expanding its portfolio of meeting room solutions optimised for Cisco collaboration technology.

    The new range has been designed to provide a structured upgrade path for organisations moving from legacy Cisco MX Series deployments to next-generation collaboration spaces built around Cisco Room Bar and Cisco Room Kits.

    ABMX systems are based on Ashton Bentley’s Cisco Certified Display Mount Chassis platform available in single and dual display configurations supporting displays from 43” to 115”.

    Compatible with Cisco Room Bar, Room Bar Pro, Room Kit EQ and Quad Camera, the systems include integrated mounting brackets, cable management, region-specific power distribution and magnetic front panels for easy service access.

    Unlike traditional AV installations, these tool-less systems can be assembled in hours with no complex building work, reducing deployment time, cost and complexity.

    “Our collaboration with Ashton Bentley enables enterprises to manage upgrades to their collaboration investments in a scalable way.” said Tom Richards, Senior Director of Strategy & GTM at Cisco. “Customers with old, end-of-support Telepresence MX systems now have a simple and repeatable upgrade path to the latest Cisco Room systems that provide agentic AI powered collaboration experiences, intelligent device management tools, actionable workplace analytics, and up-to-date, multi-layered enterprise security”

    The Ashton Bentley architecture supports floor-to-wall, freestanding and mobile configurations, with the structural load carried by the floor rather than the wall. This allows deployment in glass walled offices, listed buildings and other environments where wall loading is restricted.

    “Our certified mounting solution established a new level of engineering alignment with Cisco,” said Roger McArdell, Chief Technical Officer at Ashton Bentley. “We are extending that collaboration further by delivering a globally consistent platform that removes much of the traditional complexity of AV upgrades.”

    The Ashton Bentley Display Mount platform is also approved for Cisco deployments with Microsoft Teams Rooms in accordance with the Microsoft Express Install solution guidelines. Together, this joint solution means customers can future-proof their investments, and cost-effectively standardise their meeting spaces for any collaboration platform.

    The latest Cisco Room devices, based on RoomOS 27, offer flexible support for Webex, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet environments.

    Optional AV infrastructure is available through Ashton Bentley’s TX2/DX2 two-box system, which replaces traditional rack-based AV equipment with a simplified architecture supporting uncompressed 4K video, USB-C and HDMI extension, BYOD connectivity and integration with the Cisco Room Navigator.

    “Together with Cisco, we’re redefining how organisations approach collaboration upgrades,” said Tony Leedham, Chief Commercial Officer at Ashton Bentley. “By enabling partners to package displays, Cisco Room Bars and Kits, and AV infrastructure within a modular platform, we’re helping establish a new benchmark for meeting room standardisation.”

Through the integration, nsign’s digital signage CMS can now run on selected BrightSign media players, allowing businesses to modernize their signage operations without replacing existing hardware. This is especially beneficial for organizations in retail, hospitality, transportation, QSR and corporate environments that already use BrightSign infrastructure.

    The partnership also strengthens nsign’s growth strategy in North America and supports AV integrators with more deployment options for customers. Initially validated on the BrightSign XT1145 and LS445 media players, the integration enables access to nsign’s full feature set, including centralized management, scalability and remote control, while providing a smooth migration path for existing BrightSign users.

    nsign, the digital signage SaaS platform built around its core principle of Simplify Complexity, has announced a partnership with BrightSign®, expanding the deployment options available to customers, integrators and channel partners worldwide.

    The partnership represents an important milestone in nsign’s international growth strategy, particularly in North America, where BrightSign media players are widely deployed across enterprise digital signage networks in sectors such as retail, quick service restaurants (QSR), hospitality, transportation and corporate communications.

    By supporting selected BrightSign media players, nsign can now be deployed on both new and existing BrightSign-based infrastructures, allowing organisations to adopt the platform without replacing previously installed hardware. This provides a practical migration path for companies looking to modernise their digital signage operations while protecting existing technology investments.

    For AV integrators and channel partners, the integration expands the range of deployment scenarios available to customers. Many large multi-site organisations already operate BrightSign-based networks and are increasingly looking for CMS platforms that combine ease of use, centralised management, scalability and remote device control.

    “North America is a strategic market for nsign, and many of the retailers, restaurant chains and enterprise organisations we engage with already operate BrightSign-based networks,” said Mónica Fernández, Managing Director of nsign. “This partnership removes a significant adoption barrier by allowing those organisations to benefit from nsign without replacing existing BrightSign deployments.”

    Beauty inside and out

    The phrase “beauty is only skin deep” famously coined by Sir Thomas Overbury in 1613, certainly does not apply when discussing the new Philips Signage 6060.

    Internally, the Philips Signage 6060 sees one of the biggest evolutions of PPDS’ digital signage portfolio, debuting – and integrating – BrightSign’s highest performing and industry leading all in one XS156 player SoC.

This allows teams to be confident that their network and content are safe and secure, while also helping to extend product lifetimes.

    Aligned with PPDS’ commitment to sustainability, BrightSign Control also enables optimized energy usage, such as reducing brightness and powering down displays when not visible or being used (such as out of business hours), for more sustainable business practices and reduced cost of ownership.

    With the BrightSign XS156 integrated directly into the displays, the need for an external media player is also eliminated, reducing power consumption further, while alleviating the risk of theft or tampering, and ensuring cleaner wire free installations. And that’s not all.

    High performance and AI ready processing power

    As with the recently unveiled Philips Signage 5000 and 2000 Series displays – launched during ISE 2026 – the Philips Signage 6060 has been designed with today and the future in mind, with the capabilities to support businesses looking to seize the opportunities around artificial intelligence.

    With BrightSign Built-In, the Philips Signage 6060 takes advantage of the integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) on the XS156 to run AI applications directly on the display, enabling faster and smoother processing. This ensures seamless user experiences without slowing down or impacting other processors and operations – such as the Central Processing Unit and Graphics Processing Unit.

    Scalable Display Technologies to Showcase Automated Projection Mapping on Large-Scale Mount Rushmore Display at InfoComm 2026

    Scalable Display Technologies will showcase its Atlas software platform at InfoComm 2026 through a large-scale projection mapping demonstration featuring a custom-built 3D Mount Rushmore display. Created to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, the installation will highlight Atlas’ ability to automatically calibrate and align multiple projectors across complex surfaces, delivering seamless image quality with accurate color matching, edge blending, and geometric correction.

    During the event, Scalable will intentionally disrupt projector alignment and demonstrate how Atlas quickly restores image accuracy through automated camera-based calibration. Designed for projection mapping on sculptures, architectural facades, themed attractions, and other complex structures, Atlas helps AV professionals reduce setup time, simplify maintenance, and maintain consistent visual performance in large-scale immersive environments.

    Scalable Display Technologies, an industry-leading application provider that automatically calibrates images’ alignment, color, intensity and geometry from multiple projectors, will showcase a large-scale immersive projection mapping demonstration at InfoComm 2026, highlighting the latest developments in its Atlas software platform.

    Created in recognition of America’s 250th birthday, Scalable’s demonstration will feature a custom-built 3D Mount Rushmore installation showcasing automated projection mapping and calibration across complex geometry. Using dynamic projection-mapped content, Atlas will perform automatic geometric correction, edge blending, color matching and image alignment while maintaining visual consistency across the projection array. Throughout the show, Scalable will intentionally disrupt projector alignment conditions and re-run the calibration process to demonstrate the software’s ability to rapidly restore a seamless image with minimal technical intervention.

    “As a U.S.-based company entering our 21st year in business, we wanted this year’s InfoComm demonstration to reflect both a major national milestone and the evolution of our technology,” said James Pietsch, director of global accounts for Scalable Display Technologies. “The Mount Rushmore installation allows us to showcase Atlas operating on complex, large-scale geometry while also recognizing America’s 250th birthday through a uniquely American visual experience.”

    Scalable Atlas is the company’s first software platform, developed specifically for automatic 3D projection-mapping applications. While Scalable’s traditional calibration products have primarily focused on high-precision simulation and training environments using defined screen geometries, Atlas expands the company’s capabilities to support projection mapping on virtually any object or surface, including sculptures, architectural facades, themed environments and other complex physical structures.

    Unlike traditional projection-mapping workflows, which often rely on manual setup and adjustment, Atlas automatically calculates projector positions in 3D using camera-based calibration. Then, Atlas generates projection warping for each individual projector based on those calculated spatial positions, enabling accurate alignment across complex geometry while significantly reducing commissioning time and manual calibration requirements.

    Scalable’s demonstration will spotlight Atlas’ ability to support large-scale immersive environments where maintaining long-term calibration accuracy and image consistency is critical. Atlas is designed to help systems integrators, consultants and technical teams streamline deployment and maintenance workflows while reducing the operational challenges commonly associated with multi-projector installations.

    Visit the Scalable in booth N7445 at InfoComm 2026 from June 17–19, 2026, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
