Sonnet Technologies at IBC 2025
Sonnet is known for designing Thunderbolt / high-speed expansion and dock hardware tailored for creative professionals. At IBC 2025, they continued to ride that wave, particularly in the area of storage, expansion, and next-gen connectivity.
What We Can Observe
Preview of Thunderbolt 5 & next-gen docks
Though details are still emerging, Sonnet is pushing the envelope in terms of throughput and expansion. Their show presence emphasized high-speed connectivity for mobile edit rigs, NVMe expansion, and bridging between local machines and external media.Expansion / dock ecosystems tuned for media
Their docks and expansion chassis are often built with media professionals in mind — high bandwidth, multiple video ports, power delivery, reliability under load — and that continues to be their selling vector.
Value for You / Your Crews
Remove bandwidth bottlenecks
When you’re editing or grading in high-res formats (4K, 8K, RAW), connectivity is often the choke point. Sonnet’s gear helps eliminate that.Portable power for high-end rigs
For location shoots, mobile edit setups, you can plug in expansion, drives, capture cards, etc., without needing a hulking rack — Sonnet keeps things modular and mobile.Future-proofing connectivity
With standards like Thunderbolt evolving, choosing expansion solutions that keep pace buys you longevity rather than obsolescence.
