tvONE Unveils 4RU CALICO PRO for Mission-Critical Video Processing

The introduction of CALICO PRO provides a higher-density, higher-performance option for crucial video processing within broadcast, live events, and immersive installations where system failure is not an option. This product addresses the escalating demands for pixel capacity and processing power in large-format video displays and complex signal workflows. Stakeholders should monitor its adoption rate in demanding live production and fixed installation environments, particularly as 8K and higher-resolution content becomes more prevalent.

The launch of the CALICO PRO arrives as manufacturers prioritize hardware that can handle the massive data throughput required by modern LED volumes. Per AV Magazine (May 2026), the global demand for high-pitch LED displays is projected to grow by 14% annually through 2028, placing increased pressure on video processors to maintain frame-level synchronization across multiple 4K outputs. This trend is mirrored by recent moves from competitors. Per InAVate (April 2026), Christie and Brompton Technology have both updated their processing portfolios to improve 12-bit color depth handling, which is increasingly mandated for HDR-compliant broadcast environments. Furthermore, at the 2026 NAB Show, industry analysts from Omdia highlighted that low-latency performance is now the primary purchasing factor for 62% of command-and-control integrations, as real-time data visualization moves toward 4K-native signals. ACT Entertainment's acquisition of tvONE continues to focus the brand on these high-stakes verticals. In a June 2026 briefing at InfoComm, ACT Entertainment leadership emphasized that the 'mission-critical' designation specifically targets the surge in disaster recovery and traffic management centers adopting DVLED video walls. This push aligns with recent government infrastructure spending in North America and Western Europe, where antiquated LCD tiling systems are being replaced with seamless LED technology requiring the high-density I/O found in the 4RU CALICO PRO. Market data from Futuresource Consulting (March 2026) suggests that the modular hardware market is stabilizing after two years of supply chain volatility, allowing manufacturers like tvONE to resume aggressive rollout schedules for flagship processing units.
