InfoComm returned to Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center June 7-13, 2025. Nearly 31,000 professionals attended the event, which included education sessions, industry panels, and an active trade show floor.
For InPark, the event started out with an open house held at Quince Imaging’s new headquarters, located between Orlando International Airport and the theme parks. The evening brought together several of Quince’s partners (IA Stage, Alcorn McBride, Stephen Arnold Music and Image Engineering), each highlighting their capabilities. Quince was showing off the studio space they have available for creatives and directors to utilize for content review and visualization (among other uses!).
The bustling trade show floor at InfoComm included the latest in AV technology for a wide array of markets, including themed entertainment. The Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) had a larger presence at the show this year, with scheduled tours to TEA members’ booths. They also held a networking reception on the show floor, as well as a separate mixer off-site after the second day of exhibits.
The core of InfoComm remains the trade show floor, held over three days. Here, in no particular order, are highlights from the 2025 InfoComm floor:
Barco
Barco showcased their flagship QDX family of projectors. With a variety of options available, Barco reps emphasized how this one platform was flexible enough for every application, including in theme parks. Barco also is now shipping out Encore3, the latest version of their popular screen management system. Featuring native 4k in and out, each unit offers up to 24 inputs and 16 outputs. Encore3 is particularly ideal for both theme park and live event applications.
Christie
The big star in Christie’s booth was the new hybrid Sapphire projector, bringing together the best of both worlds from pure RGB and laser phosphor projection. It’s well-adapted for rear projection as well as for use in 3D applications on silver screens. The projector’s color comb capability allows for brighter 3D with a larger color range. InPark interviewed Christie’s Larry Paul about the projector’s benefits for themed entertainment in our recent issue.
VIOSO
VIOSO presented their ProjectionTools Auto-Align softwars, which uses cameras to calibrate projection on everything from small models to projection-mapped buildings. Their new EXAPLAY software is a robust media server that can handle a wide range of applications. EXAPLAY was launched at ISE 2025 and continues to provide a lower-price point option for smaller themed entertainment clients.
Modulo Pi
Modulo Kinetic version 6 was released earlier this year, with usage reported in theme parks, immersive venues, projection mapping and museums. In combination with Modulo Player, which uses LIDAR hardware, visual content can become interactive and instantaneously responsive to guest movement. The team also presented a preview of Kinetic v7, still in development. The new version will have a redesigned interface, a flexible grid and include virtual projector models and lenses based on actual specifications to allow for better design and planning in venues.
Disguise
The suite of hardware and software systems on display in the Disguise booth were only part of the company’s approach to creative content. In addition to servers and design tools, Disguise also offers tech services as well as integration, with the goal of providing end-to-end support for media content. Disguise also powered an interactive tunnel at the nearby ROE booth for a real-time display of their capabilities.
Digital Projection
One of the most interesting parts of Digital Projection’s booth was the small theater they built to show off their E-Vision 10000i 4k+RGB projector and their Radiance LED wall products. They left the projector screen halfway down and synced content between the single-chip pure RGB projector and LED wall, allowing visitors to see a side-by-side comparison between projection and LED. Both have their strengths and seeing them close together helped identify the differences.
AV Stumpfl
AV Stumpfl brought their recently released PIXERA zero media server for its North America debut. The zero is their smallest version but it doesn’t skimp on high performance. The company also continued the celebration of their 50th anniversary.
Just Add Power
Just Add Power showed off their new USB over IP encoder and decoder for their Tiler product. The USB port attaches to the box, allowing for multiple control points of the video wall in the room. Their Hot Key Controller also provides a small, numbered keypad that can be easily programmed with several options so a user can swap between presets with the touch of a button.
