tvONE launches 4RU CALICO PRO with 128 million pixel capacity

The 4RU CALICO PRO addresses the increasing pixel density of next-generation Micro LED and virtual production volumes. By supporting 128 million pixels in a single modular chassis, tvONE reduces the hardware footprint usually required to drive massive canvases, simplifying signal routing in mission-critical broadcast and command environments. For the streaming ecosystem, this scale of processing is vital for the expanding hybrid-production market, where high-resolution physical sets must sync perfectly with digital assets. Watch for adoption rates in permanent high-end corporate and sports venue installations throughout late 2026.

The debut of the 4RU CALICO PRO follows ACT Entertainment’s 2023 acquisition of tvONE, a move that integrated Green Hippo media servers with tvONE's signal processing expertise to create end-to-end video workflows. Per Commercial Integrator (December 2023), this acquisition was ACT’s first significant entry into the video hardware sector, aiming to serve the live production and broadcast markets with unified solutions. The 4RU model specifically expands a product line that previously included 1RU and 2RU variants, addressing the industrial scale required for modern 'super-sized' displays.

Technological demand for such horsepower is surging as Micro LED and fine-pitch COB (Chip on Board) LED become standard in high-end environments. Per Univitech (April 2026), the global display market has shifted toward 'immersive interaction,' requiring processors that can handle high refresh rates between 3840Hz and 7680Hz to ensure flicker-free performance under broadcast cameras. This trend is intensified by the high-resolution requirements of major 2026 global events, where infrastructure upgrades at transport hubs and hospitality zones are driving a transition away from traditional LCD video walls toward seamless, high-pixel-count LED alternatives.
