Iris unveils new Angekis and Bolin integrations at InfoComm 2026. LAS VEGAS, Nevada, June 18, 2026 - Iris, the award-winning, software-based platform for PTZ camera control from Audinate, will highlight new OEM partnerships with Angekis and Bolin at InfoComm 2026, taking place June 17-19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. These partnerships will bring native Iris technology directly into the firmware of select PTZ camera models from the two brands. With a simple free upgrade to the latest firmware on the Angekis Saber X and Bolin B2 camera lines, customers can instantly link their now Iris-Enabled cameras to the Iris platform. This unlocks a suite of features accessible through a single browser or app window with no additional hardware required. The announcement reflects Iris's mission to simplify video production through unified control, intelligent automation, and interoperability with existing gear and workflows. Through Iris, users can remotely manage cameras with low-latency control, collaborate across teams and locations, and leverage AI-powered tools for framing, preset creation and recall, and more. This is all done without the complexity of traditional hardware-based systems. Visitors can learn more about these integrations at booth C7321. "Our goal is to make professional video production more accessible for users across the industry," said Noah Johnson, founder of Iris and Vice President of Video Applications at Audinate. "By partnering with Angekis and Bolin, we're bringing Iris directly into more cameras and making it easier for more production teams across their diverse customer segments to adopt modern, software-based remote production workflows." These new partnerships strengthen Iris's growing ecosystem of camera manufacturers and reinforce its commitment to interoperability. The Iris platform supports more than 400 camera models and integrates with leading switchers, IP controllers, and production software, allowing organizations to modernize operations while preserving existing infrastructure investments. In addition, Angekis and Bolin now join eight other brands that have Iris-Enabled devices, allowing those cameras to connect to the Iris platform directly without needing a network bridge device. "At Angekis, we're committed to building solutions that help our customers create professional video experiences with greater flexibility and efficiency," said Alex Xie, CEO of Angekis. "Adding the Iris-Enabled integration to our Saber X cameras is a natural next step that removes hardware barriers, streamlines remote production, and helps customers get even more value from the cameras they already own." "Our customers operate some of the most demanding live production environments in the industry that don't have margin for compromise on quality or reliability," said Sapan Doshi, Chief Product and Revenue Officer of Bolin. "Making the B2 line Iris-Enabled extends that reliability to where productions are increasingly being run: across multiple venues, multiple operators, and multiple control rooms." Attendees at InfoComm 2026 can learn more about the new Angekis and Bolin integrations and see how Iris helps teams manage and collaborate on productions from anywhere through a unified platform.

Iris showcases the future of PTZ production at ISE 2026. BARCELONA, Spain, January 28, 2026 - Iris, the creator of the award-winning, cloud-connected platform for PTZ camera control, will showcase its transformative technology at ISE 2026, taking place February 3 - 6 at the Fira de Barcelona. Visitors to booth #4M900 will see firsthand how Iris enables seamless camera operation, automation, and collaboration, ideal for industries such as corporate AV, education, houses of worship, and live events. Rethinking PTZ production. Iris connects PTZ cameras to the cloud, offering centralized control through a browser-based interface that eliminates the need for traditional, hardware-intensive workflows. By integrating AI-powered automation, such as real-time subject tracking, framing, and position presets, Iris reduces the burden of manual camera adjustments. This allows teams to focus on storytelling and delivering polished productions, whether operating on-site or remotely. Attendees at ISE 2026 will experience live demonstrations of how Iris handles these processes, enabling fewer operators to manage more cameras across diverse production environments. In addition to its AI automation tools, Iris offers physical control capabilities through features like joystick integration, allowing for highly precise camera movements without requiring expensive, proprietary hardware. An expanding camera ecosystem. In December 2025, Iris introduced support for Iris-enabled PTZ cameras from leading manufacturers, including AIDA, BirdDog, Bolin, BZBGear, Lumens, Marshall, NEO.ID, Z CAM, HDKATOV, Everet, Angekis, and Telycam. Many of these models will be on display at the booth, showcasing direct-to-cloud connectivity and advanced control capabilities. These integrations highlight Iris's commitment to compatibility and usability across a wide camera ecosystem. For cameras not equipped with Iris-enabled firmware, the platform supports over 300 models using its innovative desktop utility, ensuring nearly universal access to its powerful features. "With Iris, you no longer have to think about where your cameras are or how to control them," said Noah Johnson, founder of Iris. "Whether your cameras are across the room or across the globe - as we'll be demonstrating at ISE - you can manage and automate your entire production from a single interface, giving you more flexibility than ever before." Meet Iris at ISE 2026. Visit Iris at booth #4M900 to see how the platform streamlines camera operations across multiple environments, from small-scale setups to complex multi-location productions. The Iris team will be available for one-on-one discussions about how the technology can simplify production management and enhance creative possibilities.
