Connect with Confidence: Experience the Future of Production at IBC 2026
The number of systems, locations and content outputs in broadcast environments is constantly growing.
Production and technical teams are now facing a key question: how can they maintain complete control without introducing unnecessary steps into time-critical operations?
The challenge is not simply to connect more technology. It is about giving operators faster access to the systems they need, improving visibility across increasingly complex infrastructure and enabling different technologies to work together effectively.
At IBC 2026, we are bringing the latest advances in centralized management, remote access and system integration to help production teams to solve this exact challenge.
Now Showing at IBC: More Control and Greater Flexibility
Making its debut at this year’s show is AIM 6, our latest major upgrade in IP KVM matrix management. Redesigned from the ground up to meet customer and operational requirements, AIM 6 introduces a new, intuitive interface that gives users greater visibility across their infrastructure and more efficient control of connected systems.
By simplifying everyday tasks and increasing access to system information, AIM 6 helps administrators to manage complex production environments while operators stay connected to the systems they require.
One Signal, Simpler Production: Supporting HLG Workflows
Also at the show will be Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) compatibility with the ADDERLink® INFINITY 4000 series. This new product feature helps broadcasters to simplify how HDR content is incorporated into live production workflows.
HLG compatibility enables operators to monitor HLG content directly from their workstation, reducing the requirement for dedicated reference monitors. By supporting HLG across the IP KVM matrix, production teams can access systems they need while benefiting from space and workflow optimization. This is a particular benefit for space-constrained environments.
Extending Broadcast: Advanced Remote Access Without Compromise
For distributed production teams, consistent and responsive remote access is non-negotiable. The latest upgrade to ARDx™ introduces multi-head connectivity, user-defined framerate control and an updated interface, giving operators greater flexibility over how they access and interact with systems from different locations.
As broadcasters support more distributed operations, the ability to manage how data is transmitted and received is rising in importance. Greater control over bandwidth usage helps teams to maximize network efficiency while maintaining the responsive user experience required for demanding production tasks.
Behind the Scenes: Integrating Remote Access into the Wider Production Environment
For developers looking to connect applications and simplify workflows, the ARDx Software Development Kit (SDK) enables the capabilities of ARDx to be embedded within third-party platforms.
With system configuration and network management enhancements, alongside improved control of multiple video sources from a single workspace, the SDK equips developers with greater freedom to create remote access experiences around the specific needs of their users and applications.
The SDK enables remote access to become part of a wider production environment rather than remaining as a separate application. Bringing control into the systems that teams already use allows developers to optimize operations, reduce complexity and create connected experiences regardless of operator location.
