Lightware will use ISE 2026 to showcase a series of new products and platform updates aimed at simplifying USB-C connectivity, improving AV-over-IP management and supporting next-generation meeting room workflows.
Exhibiting at Booth 2P500, the company will present ten live demonstrations covering corporate, education and large-scale AV deployments, with a particular focus on BYOD/BYOM environments and scalable system design.
One of the key launches on the stand is the USB-C BOOSTER-V1, a plug-and-play extension solution designed to overcome distance limitations in modern meeting spaces. The BOOSTER-V1 supports full-feature USB-C connectivity, including USB 2.0 and 3.2 data, DisplayPort Alt Mode, and up to 100W charging for the host device. Lightware says the unit can extend USB-C connections up to 12m while maintaining 4K video and USB communication, without the need for an external power supply. The internal power design is intended to simplify installation and reduce system complexity in flexible BYOD setups.
Also being demonstrated is the latest addition to Lightware’s TPN AV-over-IP ecosystem: the new TPN MMU (Matrix Management Unit). Designed for SDVoE-based deployments, the TPN MMU provides integrated device discovery and automatically detects and manages all connected endpoints. Lightware positions the unit as a way to reduce deployment time and operational complexity in larger systems, supported by a NETGEAR-based network backbone and a simplified management interface.
Unified meeting workflows are another major theme on the booth, with Lightware highlighting new Google Meet integration for selected Taurus UCX models. The demonstration will show compatibility with the UCX-4x2-HC40, UCX-4x3-HC40, UCX-4x2-HC40D and UCX-4x3-HC40-BD. The integration supports combined BYOD and BYOM operation, allowing users to access room displays, cameras and peripherals outside of active Google Meet sessions, while maintaining stable control during calls.
For retrofit projects and larger installations, Lightware will also present its GVN platform, which is designed to provide plug-and-play USB-C connectivity at scale. Using custom LARA configuration, the platform supports independent routing of USB, video and audio signals, Dante audio integration and up to 100W device charging. The approach is intended to simplify content sharing while offering flexibility in complex environments.
Among the demonstrations is a 5K meeting room setup, showing how Taurus devices support ultrawide 21:9 displays at resolutions up to 5120 x 2160 via HDMI 2.0. The demo highlights switching performance and USB-C connectivity for high-resolution collaboration spaces, including control rooms and premium meeting environments.
Lightware will also showcase its LARA (Lightware Advanced Room Automation) Wizard for simplified room automation workflows, alongside its expanded professional cable range. In addition, the newly extended HC60 product line will be on display, offering faster network performance, native USB-C peripheral connectivity and 5K video output as an upgrade path from existing HC40 models.
According to Lightware, the ISE showcase is intended to give integrators and IT managers a practical view of how its portfolio can be combined to address common challenges in modern AV system design, from meeting rooms and classrooms to more demanding live and enterprise environments.
Lightware will be exhibiting at ISE 2026 from February 3 – 6.
