ASUS took part in the International Broadcast Conference (IBC) 2024, where it presented many new devices for content creation, including monitors, motherboards, as well as computers and minicomputers.
ASUS has shown the new ProArt Display PA32UCE and ProArt Display PA27UCGE monitors. These 32-inch and 27-inch 4K HDR monitors with 600 cd/m brightness deliver rich and accurate colors and 98% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage. They are pre-calibrated at the factory to achieve an average ΔE of less than 1.
Both monitors feature ASUS Light Sync solutions, including ambient light and backlight sensors. The backlight sensor automatically increases the brightness of the screen at startup, and the ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the monitor's color gamut based on the ambient light. In addition, the ProArt Display PA27UCGE also features a high refresh rate of 160Hz for smooth image reproduction.
At the ProArt booth, visitors were also able to try out the world's first 8K HDR mini LED monitor, the ProArt Display 8K PA32KCX. This 32-inch monitor has a ΔE value of less than 1 for unmatched color accuracy.

It delivers exceptional performance with its multi-architecture of CPU, GPU, and NPU, achieving a combined AI performance of 120 TOPS. Its powerful neural processing unit (NPU) delivers up to 48 TOPS of performance and significantly expands the use of artificial intelligence.
The ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI packs powerful components into a compact chassis that is less than 0.6 liters and only 34 mm high, making it ideal for commercial use. The computer combines superior graphics capabilities with innovative on-board LPDDR5x memory to deliver high performance and stability in a wide range of IoT scenarios. The ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI delivers reliable 24/7 performance with an advanced cooling system, meets EPEAT Climate+ energy efficiency standards, and prioritizes security with features such as Secure Boot, fingerprint recognition, and a TPM module.
In addition, ASUS also introduced new networking solutions for artificial intelligence, including the ASUS RT-BE92U router. It supports three Wi-Fi 7 bands and the new 320 MHz channels, all of which provide data transfer speeds of up to 9700 Mbps. Using the Smart Home Master wizard, users can create up to three SSIDs to set up separate networks for employees, visitors, and IoT devices. With AiProtection Pro information security and extensive VPN capabilities, the RT-BE92U is the ideal router for studios that prioritize security and high-speed connectivity in their creative environments.
The company has introduced another ExpertWiFi router, the EBG19P, which is suitable for small and medium-sized creative studios that need reliable network connectivity.
