Meet our top picks for 2026: Turtle AV, Bolin Technology & iodyne

Introducing the brands redefining AV, video and data performance in 2026.

Meet our top picks for 2026: Turtle AV, Bolin Technology and iodyne, delivering smarter connectivity, better imaging and next-generation storage.

Turtle AV launched the first hardware on the market to feature a built-in Dante Controller, alongside a range of products leveraging formats such as Dante AV-A, Dante Audio, JPEG 2000 and HEVC/H.265 in 2025, and they haven't looked back. In November they won newcomer of the year at the prestigious AV Awards; if you've not met the team, they are bringing a wide range of their award winning products to ISE 2026.

Embedding a Dante Controller directly into hardware allows all Dante devices on the network to be controlled from within a web browser on a laptop, iPad, smartphone or tablet. It also enables API control from Q-SYS, Crestron and Control4 to create one-button seamless routing and switching of the entire Dante network.

The hardware range includes: 

• Chazy 4K family of five 4K 4:4:4 Dante AV-A and JPEG 2000 Tx and Rx endpoints
• DOWNTOWN - Dolby Atmos and DTS to Dante, supporting Dolby Digital, DD+, Atmos, DTS:X, and PCM up to 9.1 channels
• Mineola range of three Dante XLR audio bridges (2×2, 4×4, 8×8) with primary and secondary Dante network ports, and locking etherCON connectors.
• Darwin HD series of three low-cost 4:4:4 H.265 AV-over-IP distribution systems with central control box, designed for sports bars and retail spaces.
• A videowall family (4×4 and 8×8) which double up as a multiview and triple up as a matrix.
• Six Dante Audio two-channel adapters: an XLR input to Dante, an XLR output, a line in and a line out, a USB I/O and a Bluetooth 2 to Dante.
• A 100m USB 3.2 5Gbps extender kit over CAT.
• Dante 150W power amplifier.
