(Spain) At ISE 2026, LD Systems introduced one of its most strategic bets in the AV integration segment: the new TIVA series.
In a context where projects increasingly demand interoperability between devices, automation, and operational simplification, the brand presents a lineup that aims to unify video, audio, and control into a coherent and flexible architecture.
More than a collection of products, TIVA is conceived as a structured toolbox for integrators who need to solve complex environments with compact and scalable solutions.
As explained by Gabriel Alonso, Senior Product Manager at Adam Hall Group:
“The new TIVA series is a collection of essential equipment to integrate video and audio solutions, and to integrate third-party devices.”
Automation and control: connecting AV with the physical environment
One of the pillars of the series is the SGP42, an interface designed to act as a bridge between AV systems and external control devices. In today’s installations —from restaurants to corporate spaces or educational centers— AV no longer functions in isolation but is part of a broader ecosystem that includes lighting, climate control, security, and automation.
The SGP42 addresses this need to interconnect physical signals and events with automated audiovisual actions.
“It is an interface from Ethernet to GPIO, relays, and serial ports to integrate any control element in a room—whether wall buttons, magnetic sensors, or to turn on lights or control blinds to raise or lower, such as a projection screen.”
To better understand the practical scope of this solution, Gabriel Alonso offers a concrete application example in hospitality, where automation directly impacts user experience and operational efficiency.
“Let’s imagine we’re in a restaurant with a wine cellar. When you open the door, a light can turn on, and after a few minutes, if someone has left the door open, an alarm will go off on one of the control panels. When we close it, the alarm turns off, the light goes out—and in the end, what we want is a very simple control panel for users.”
In corporate and hospitality environments, where rooms are often modular and require dynamic configurations, integration becomes a key tool to simplify day-to-day operation.
“We have buttons connected to this interface, and as we press them, we simulate wall changes in a room with room combinations.”
That same principle of unified control applies to meeting rooms, where a single command can trigger multiple coordinated actions.
“When we press a button, the blind goes down, and that can mean turning off a projector, raising the projection screen, and turning off the lights. We can now integrate all that with this new device, the SGP42.”
Advanced signal management: 8K video with centralized control
Beyond automation, the TIVA series extends into high-resolution video signal management. In a market where device compatibility and proper signal negotiation are critical, LD Systems introduces an 8K switcher with functions designed to simplify installation and maintenance.
The ability to switch multiple sources, manage EDID, and perform autoscaling directly responds to today’s demands for professional integration.
“We have a video switcher that allows us to switch four HDMI inputs to one 8K output, and it also has EDID management and autoscale to adapt to different screen types—it even includes a test pattern generator.”
The strategic element comes with the integration of these devices into the brand’s proprietary control software, QUESTRA, allowing video, audio, and automation to be centralized on the same operational platform.
“This switcher has an Ethernet port and full integration with our QUESTRA software, so with a single button we can automatically switch the video source and also integrate it with audio settings, volume, or mute.”
The 4×4 matrix in 4K format reinforces this systemic vision, offering more flexibility in environments with multiple screens or independent zones.
“It’s a matrix with four inputs and four outputs in 4K format, and it comes with its Ethernet and serial ports, so we have full integration with QUESTRA to ensure integration of video, audio, and control.”
Simplified networked audio for hybrid environments
The growth of hybrid spaces and flexible meeting rooms also demands audio solutions that are easy and quick to implement. In this context, the Dante to USB-C interface from the TIVA series addresses a frequent need: integrating any user’s laptop into the professional audio network without technical complexity.
“It’s a very simple interface, from Dante to USB-C, which allows us to include the audio signal from any laptop into our AV network via Dante. A very compact and simple tool for any meeting room.”
Integration as a system vision
What was presented at ISE 2026 confirms a clear trend: integration is no longer an add-on in AV projects—it’s the central structure.
TIVA follows that logic, articulating control, video, and audio in an interoperable and scalable environment.
With this new line, LD Systems reinforces an evolution in which each component no longer functions in isolation, but as part of an integral ecosystem that simplifies operation and enhances the technological experience in professional spaces.
