HP unveils new DesignJet large-format printers at FESPA 2026
HP says the new machines have been designed to deliver precision, quality, and productivity, helping customers grow profitably.
We look at a range of companies demonstrating new digital signage solutions at this year’s ISE 2026, including a number of debuts and world firsts
Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026, which is touted as the world's largest trade show for the AV and systems integration industries, has launched today [February 3rd] at the Fira Barcelona venue in Spain, running until February 6th.
With over 1,600 technology companies exhibiting and over 80,000 attendees expected to visit, a range of major digital signage companies use the annual trade show as a chance to unveil new solutions to the market.
In this round-up article, we showcase a selection of highlights that you can find at the ISE 2026 event this week.
Sony is using this year’s ISE to showcase a wide range of new products and refreshed product line-ups, including a new wide-format digital signage portfolio.
Among the new solutions being demonstrated is a comprehensive refresh of Sony’s wide-format display portfolio which includes 16 new models across the flagship BZ40P, enhanced BZ35P, and core BZ30P tiers.
These 4K HDR displays range from 43 to 85 inches and feature Sony’s ‘Deep Black Non-Glare’ technology designed to provide richer blacks and dark colours in all brightness environments.
Other features of the portfolio include higher brightness and up to 31% lower power consumption in comparison to previous models, as well as increased use of recycled plastic material.
Sony will also be demonstrating its ‘glasses free’ 3D solution made in collaboration with Ameria, which is designed for applications including signage and display.
The technology, first announced in January, allows users to interact with high-quality 3D visuals using gestures instead of touching a screen.
In addition, two new mid-market models in Sony’s Crystal LED S series are being introduced, namely the ZRD-S12G and ZRD-S15G, which are designed to offer high visibility and natural colour reproduction in bright corporate and educational environments.
Sony will be at Stand E300 in Hall 3 of ISE 2026.
Nsign, a cloud-based digital signage platform designed to manage and automate content, is revealing a significant evolution of its digital signage vision at ISE 2026.
The software company is using the event to introduce an AI-powered orchestration layer designed to support large-scale deployments, retail media strategies, and enterprise-grade environments.
The new orchestration feature offers a central layer for connecting LED displays, projectors, and sensors, with automated reporting and contextual intelligence capabilities.
The tool is designed to use AI to analyse live data – such as who is in front of a screen or which product has been touched – to automatically change content without human intervention.
The software company will also offer live interactive demonstrations of its tools including its ‘Lift & Learn’ technology, which uses sensors to detect when a shopper touches or moves a product.
When a product is lifted from a shelf, the technology can send a signal to the nsign.tv platform, with screens able to transition to specific content for that item – such as technical specs, tutorial videos, or available colours.
Nsign’s Video Analytics Totem will also be on show, which demonstrates audience measurement and ROI evaluation using facial detection. The system can measure the ratio of passersby that stopped to view a screen ad, how long they dwelled, and link spikes in billboard viewership with actual sales.
Those visiting ISE can find nsign at Stand G520 in Hall 4 of the exhibition.
AUO Display Plus, which is exhibiting alongside its subsidiary, Avocor, is using the trade show to demonstrate new sustainable retail and collaboration display solutions under the theme 'design without limits.'
New technology from AUO includes the AecoRetail suite of display products designed for energy-efficient store applications.
This suite includes AecoPost, a full-colour, battery-powered ‘ePaper’ signage solution that can run without a continuous power source, allowing for flexible, cable-free installation.
AecoPost leverages the company’s E Ink Spectra 6 technology, which uses microscopic charged particles to mimic the appearance of traditional printed paper.
Also on display at ISE will be AecoTag, a cloud-based electronic shelf labelling system that enables real-time wireless content and pricing updates, with the aim of boosting operational efficiency and sustainability.
Alongside the new AecoRetail suite, AUO is showcasing its Transparent Micro LED Display solution, which is designed to offer an immersive visual experience for digital signage and smart retail applications by blending digital content with the physical environment.
AUO Display Plus is exhibiting at Stand S200 in Hall 2 of ISE 2026.
Philips Professional Displays (PPDS) is returning to ISE this year with the launch of a host of new digital and signage solutions.
This includes the debut of the Philips Signage 5000 Series D-Line, the first in the company’s Android SoC range to feature a six-trillion-operations-per-second (6 TOPS) neural processing unit (NPU).
The display, which is marketed as the first AI-ready display within the Philips professional range, is designed to allow AI tasks to run natively without slowing down the primary CPU or GPU.
PPDS is also presenting a range of new indoor and outdoor Philips LED models, supported by a new online LED configurator developed to simplify selection for architects and integrators.
Within its professional display line, the company will present its updated Philips MediaSuite lineup. This includes the 6000 Series with Ambilight, which uses rows of intelligent LEDs mounted on the rear edges of the screen to project light onto the wall behind the display in real-time, and the UltraSlim 7000 Series, which offers Google Cast and Apple AirPlay compatibility.
Visitors to ISE 2026 can find PPDS at Stand N500 in Hall 3 of the trade show.
Sharp Display Solutions Europe, the audio-visual technology business division of Sharp Europe, is using ISE 2026 to launch its new SDM MPi5 Kit, a hardware integration which has been developed in collaboration with Raspberry Pi and Intel.
The new SDM MPi5 Kit, which is powered by a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 single-board computer, is designed to bring together professional displays, modular computing, software, and services to help organisations build more intelligent, secure, and future-ready digital environments.
Using the ‘slot-in’ design of an Intel Smart Display Module (SDM), the technology allows the Raspberry Pi unit to be integrated simply as a professional component, without the need for additional mounting brackets or extra cables.
Target applications include flight information display systems (FIDS), wayfinding, information displays, and other ‘mission-critical’ digital signage use cases where reliability, control, and rapid system adaptation are important.
The SDM MPi5 Kit has been designed with AI extensibility in mind, supporting modular AI acceleration to enable new use cases where intelligence is embedded directly within the display.
The official announcement at ISE will be jointly made with Raspberry Pi, which developed the new product based on Sharp market intelligence and customer feedback.
Sharp will demonstrate a range of solutions at Stand E500 in Hall 3 of ISE.
