Harman will unveil its BSS Soundweb OMNI series AVoIP platforms and JBL VTX B35 series cardioid subwoofers at the show.
BSS Soundweb OMNI series AVoIP platforms
The BSS Soundweb OMNI 600, 300, and 200 series of AVoIP platforms will be unveiled at InfoComm 2026, marking the introduction of video capabilities within the BSS Soundweb OMNI platform and expanding the ecosystem with three new ranges of networked AV systems.
OMNI networked AV aims to extend the OMNI platform into video, audio, and USB distribution over IP, combining purpose-built hardware with a unified software environment to create flexible system architectures and scalable system design.
The range consists of the OMNI 600, 300, and 200 series, each designed to address specific application requirements such as high-performance, low-latency video as well as streaming and network-routable USB connectivity. Each product is configured, managed, and monitored through Harman’s AVX Suite software platform which allows systems to be designed and operated as one cohesive environment.
Designed for higher education, government, enterprise, and large-venue environments, the OMNI 600 series deliver AVoIP for performance-critical environments by supporting 4K60 4:4:4 video, audio, control, and USB 2.0 over Gigabit Ethernet. The series features motion wavelet compression to preserve image quality for fast-motion video and detailed visual content through ultra-low end-to-end latency.
Virtual Network USB 2.0 Hub technology is used to enable a single USB host to connect to devices at up to four remote OMNI 600 or 200 endpoints. Native support for Dante AV-A and Dante audio is included, as well as switching and videowall processing capabilities, and an open control API with enterprise-grade security.
The OMNI 600 Series delivers high-performance AV-over-IP for performance-critical environments, supporting 4K60 4:4:4 video, audio, control, and USB 2.0 over Gigabit Ethernet. Featuring Motion Wavelet Compression, the series preserves pristine image quality for fast-motion video and highly detailed visual content with ultra-low end-to-end latency. Virtual Network USB 2.0 Hub technology enables a single USB host to connect to devices at up to four remote OMNI 600 or 200 endpoints. Native support for Dante AV-A and Dante audio, along with seamless switching, video wall processing, an open control API, and enterprise-grade security, enables flexible system design, professional-quality AV presentations, and deep third-party integration. OMNI 600 is ideally suited for mission-critical applications in higher education, government, enterprise, and large-venue environments.
The OMNI 300 series is designed for bandwidth-efficient AV distribution over shared LANs or WANs without compromising performance by using H.264 or H.265 compression. The OMNI 300 streams 4K60 4:4:4 video while simultaneously generating a secondary 1080p H.264 or H.265 video stream for third-party platforms and services. USB-C connectivity is available on both the encoder and decoder, supporting USB video and audio for recording and collaboration workflows, with conversion between Dante audio and USB AV.
Support for Dante AV-H interoperability is included, as well as enterprise security features, and centralized management via AVX Suite for use in meeting spaces, hospitality venues, casinos, retail environments, and hybrid classrooms.
The OMNI 200 series focusses on USB 2.0 routing and extension over IP for collaboration-centric environments. Built around Virtual Network USB 2.0 Hub technology, OMNI 200 allows a host PC to communicate with USB devices at up to four remote endpoints over standard Gigabit Ethernet, supporting data rates up to 480 Mbps.
The series also provides two-channel Dante audio input and output at the USB host endpoint for seamless USB audio conversion (UAC) for conferencing and collaboration workflows. OMNI 200 supports PoE+ powering, integrates with OMNI 600 systems, and includes enterprise network security features for use in conference rooms, collaboration spaces, and flexible AV environments which rely on USB connectivity.
VTX B35 cardioid subwoofers
JBL Professional has launched its B35 cardioid subwoofers at the show, introducing the VTX B35 and VTX B35G compact cardioid subwoofers. Both models are designed to deliver controlled low-frequency coverage in applications where traditional cardioid subwoofer arrays are difficult to deploy, combining low-frequency control with a compact form factor.
The VTX B35 is mechanically compatible with the VTX A12 and is designed for mixed-array configurations. The VTX B35 can also be flown directly above VTX A12 arrays to provide new deployment flexibility for A12 systems, especially in applications where space for ground-stacked subwoofers is limited or unavailable.
Cardioid behaviour is integrated into a single-enclosure design that reduces rearward energy while keeping low-frequency coverage focussed on the audience. The VTX B35 eliminates the need for additional rear-facing cabinets, array spacing, or field-built subwoofer configurations for a simplified installation process.
Three JBL Differential Drive 15-in woofers are arranged in a front-rear configuration, with two forward-facing drivers and one rear-facing driver. Each section is powered independently via dedicated amplifier channels and optimised presets for predictable cardioid directivity.
The subwoofer features extension down to 32 Hz and a high output-to-size ratio, delivering low-frequency performance while maintaining a compact footprint for house of worship, fixed installations, arenas, and more. The series also integrated with the JBL software ecosystem, including Venue Synthesis, Array Link, and Performance Manager.
