Video conferencing technology has evolved dramatically since the early days of codec-based systems. Today, the challenge is no longer just about better audio or sharper video—it’s about human connection. With hybrid and remote work models now entrenched, the next frontier in conferencing is immersive, spatial experiences that closely mimic face-to-face interaction. At InfoComm 2025, HP and Google introduced “HP Dimension with Google Beam,” a technology that stunned attendees with its lifelike, 3D meeting experience.

How close are we to truly feeling like we’re in the same room during virtual meetings—and what does that mean for productivity, retention, and collaboration in the enterprise?

In this episode of Pro AV Today, host Ben Thomas sits down with Brian Phillips, Director of Product Marketing at HP, to explore the next generation of conferencing technology. From immersive 3D meetings to non-wearable spatial displays, the conversation unpacks what’s driving innovation—and what’s holding it back.

Main Takeaways:

  • Immersive experiences are no longer experimental: With AI and advanced optics, conferencing systems like HP Dimension now offer spatial realism without headsets or complex setup, significantly improving user engagement and emotional connection.
  • Enterprise-first rollout is strategic but scalable: Although the current price tag sits around $25,000, HP and Google are laying the groundwork to make immersive conferencing more accessible through Moore’s Law and market adaptation.
  • Impact goes beyond tech—into team culture: HR leaders see immersive conferencing as a tool for improving trust, reducing turnover, and enhancing communication in hybrid work environments where physical co-location is rare.

Brian Phillips is a seasoned product marketing leader with over two decades of experience in the video conferencing and collaboration technology space. Currently Director of Product Marketing at HP, he leads go-to-market strategies for conferencing devices, SaaS management tools, and cloud platform integrations. Prior to HP, Brian spent 17 years at Poly, where he played a key role in launching innovative hybrid work solutions and driving adoption across enterprise markets.

Campus AV-over-IP: a 10GbE switching and one-dashboard control buy

Campus AV-over-IP: a 10GbE switching and one-dashboard control buy

AV refreshes are starting to read more like network procurement decisions. Many designers now specify 10 Gigabit Ethernet for headroom, and campuses want a “single pane of glass” to monitor and control rooms. That shifts cost and risk to the IP network: bandwidth, governance, and the support model.

  • 01Many designers are specifying 10GbE headroom for AV-over-IP devices such as 4K monitors, according to Church Production Magazine, which turns classroom and venue upgrades into a switching and backbone procurement decision.
  • 02IMS Technology Services frames campus-wide standard room packages and a “single pane of glass” for monitoring and control as the support model, fewer room variants means fewer configs, spares, and escalation paths.
  • 03Church Production Magazine points to the cost jump as baseband routers grow from 16x16 to 64x64 and beyond, a pain point that underpins AV-over-IP’s argument for commercial-off-the-shelf switches over vendor-specific distribution hardware.

$1,499 SDM module puts Dante AV Ultra inside the display

$1,499 SDM module puts Dante AV Ultra inside the display

Adtechno’s $1,499 DAV-03SBL is designed for Intel SDM-L displays and projectors, per rAVe [PUBS]. It makes the display the Dante AV Ultra endpoint, which can mean fewer edge boxes but concentrates risk in switching, power, and device management.

  • 01If a display can be the decoder, the RFP shifts from “which wall box?” to “which switch config and management plane?” That’s where risk and labor move.
  • 02A single 1GbE link carrying 4K60 4:4:4 plus embedded audio (per Adtechno via rAVe [PUBS]) makes per-endpoint bandwidth assumptions, uplink sizing, and multicast policy central to planning.
  • 03Adtechno is building a family around Dante AV Ultra, with DAV-02 encoder/decoder (Digital Signage Today) and an SDM module that can standardize endpoints across signage and rooms.

Microsoft's MDEP Signage: From NRF Preview to InfoComm Demo

Microsoft's MDEP Signage: From NRF Preview to InfoComm Demo

Microsoft, MediaTek, and IAdea previewed what they described as the first digital signage solution built on Microsoft's Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP) at NRF 2026 in January, and Avocor and IAdea demonstrated a pairing of MDEP-based signage with Avocor's new B Series displays at InfoComm 2026 in June, according to AV Magazine and invidis. Neither report describes the technology as shipping in commercial deployments.

  • 01MDEP adds identity management, conditional access, device attestation, and centralized lifecycle control to signage displays, enabling management like traditional IT endpoints.
  • 02MediaTek's Genio 720 system-on-chip, used in MDEP previews, provides industrial-grade performance with 10 TOPS AI acceleration and supports up to ultra-wide 5K or dual 2.5K display outputs.
  • 03MDEP-based signage remains in preview and demonstration status as of June 2026; buyers should verify current availability and understand MDEP licensing costs before purchase decisions.
