System integrators, AV consultants, and selected end-users gathered on 15 July at the Equarius Hotel in Sentosa for Absolute AV Pte Ltd’s event titled “Experience the Future of AV Excellence and Seamless Integration.” Held in two sessions—morning and afternoon—the event featured keynote presentations and a hands-on technology showcase from prominent brands, including Panasonic, WyreStorm, AUO, Avocor, and EnGenius. With integrated solutions on display, attendees experienced firsthand how these technologies work seamlessly together in real-world scenarios.
Centred around the theme “We’ve Got You Covered,” Absolute AV Director Harry Tan emphasised the event’s goal: to demonstrate how robust and reliable alternative AV solutions can be effectively integrated. “The brands and solutions we’re featuring offer exceptional value and interoperability within an installation ecosystem,” he shared.
Emceed by Robert Soo of Cogent Acoustics, the event opened with a presentation from Tan Tiong Leng of Panasonic. He introduced Panasonic Projector & Display’s newly launched sub-brand MEVIX, aimed at revolutionising the media and entertainment landscape with cutting-edge visual innovations. Following a brief teaser of the PT-RQ45K 3-chip DLP 4K projector, the company’s first 40,000-lumen offering, the advanced imaging capabilities of the PT-REQ15 Series 1-chip DLP 4K projector—also on display—were shared.
The second speaker, Luca Bordjoski from WyreStorm, took the stage to share the company’s journey, highlighting its award-winning products and diverse vertical market solutions, ranging from Hospitality and Corporate to Education and Government.
Luca emphasised WyreStorm’s pioneering role in AVoIP with its NetworkHD technology, which has been at the forefront since 2014. Their current models support SDVoE, Dante AV-A, and NDI, delivering scalability and IP flexibility.
He then introduced the MX-1007-HYB Presentation Matrix Switcher, designed specifically for hybrid education. This solution enables interactive learning environments by connecting auditoriums to multiple classrooms, thanks to its built-in NHD-500 input and output capabilities.
Next, Luca presented the SW-640L-TX-W Wireless Conference System, which integrates a wireless dongle, video bar, and in-desk solutions for seamless collaboration. He also highlighted to the audience to visit the showcase area where WyreStorm demonstrated their new SW-0402-BRG Camera Switcher.
Luca concluded by introducing Sygma, WyreStorm’s cloud-based device management platform that supports remote configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting through a user-friendly web interface.
EnGenius, less familiar to many in the room, was introduced by Nancy Bang. She detailed the company’s 25-year legacy in data and IT, with a strong presence across the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. EnGenius offers a compelling alternative in the AV networking space with its secure, cloud-managed switches. “Our intelligent platform allows for hassle-free deployment, real-time analytics, and rapid troubleshooting to ensure network reliability,” she explained.
PH Lin from AUO Display highlighted how AUO’s advanced digital signage solutions enable targeted messaging in the increasingly dynamic DOOH (Digital Out-Of-Home) space. He introduced AUO’s Ad/Media Exchange Platform, which aims to create a seamless bridge between brands, agencies, and media owners, paving the way for a smarter, more integrated DOOH ecosystem.
The final presentation was given by Jody Thomas of Avocor, which is now under AUO Display following its acquisition in late 2024. Jody spoke about the booming Unified Communications (UC) and collaboration display market driven by the hybrid work model. He emphasised Avocor’s platform-agnostic solutions, which support leading UC platforms including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Logitech, Jabra, and more. The company’s E, H, L, S, and K series displays cater to both interactive and non-interactive requirements, offering flexible options for any meeting or learning environment.
The event left a lasting impression on attendees, allowing them to see, touch, and experience the latest innovations in AV—and to engage directly with the experts behind the technology. It was a powerful demonstration of how thoughtful integration and alternative AV solutions can unlock new possibilities.
