VIOSO debuts camera-based calibration and updated media servers at InfoComm 2026

This release streamlines the high-stakes deployment of large-scale immersive environments by reducing manual calibration time and increasing playback resilience. As the industry moves toward software-defined AV, VIOSO’s move to integrate NDI workflows and web-based control directly into its calibration stack addresses a critical bottleneck in multi-projector setups. Integrating hardware and software into a single vendor pipeline provides engineers with a more predictable path for maintaining complex 3D mapping and LED volumes in permanent installations. Watch for adoption rates of EXAPLAY 3's 'Auto-Heal' feature as a new benchmark for reliability in mission-critical live and fixed displays.

The broader Pro AV market is increasingly focused on automation to offset rising labor costs and the complexity of hybrid LED-projection zones. Per AVIXA (January 2026), AI-powered calibration and simplified software workflows are currently reducing installation setup times by up to 40%. This shift corresponds with a rise in the laser projection market, which Technavio (February 2026) projects will grow by $13.1 billion through 2030, driven by the demand for high-brightness solutions in the entertainment and corporate sectors.

At the same time, native support for emerging protocols like NDI is becoming a requirement rather than a feature. Per Inavate (January 2026), the launch of VIOSO 7 followed a significant industry push for vendor-agnostic IP video workflows, allowing calibration data to be exported more easily to external media servers like HIVE. This interoperability is essential as organizations move away from proprietary standalone hardware toward flexible, networked architectures.

Competitive pressure is also mounting from consumer-facing manufacturers like Samsung, which debuted AI-driven 'OptiScreen' calibration at CES 2026 for its portable models, per PCMag (January 2026). While VIOSO focuses on high-end professional integrations like domes and VR environments, the entry of major consumer electronics brands into the auto-calibration space is pushing pro-grade vendors to offer more sophisticated tools, such as the 3D model generators and multi-user control widgets found in the latest VIOSO and EXAPLAY updates.
