Green Hippo Introduces the Estuary Series at InfoComm 2026: A New Generation of Live Screens Control Built for the World's Biggest Stages

05/27/2026

Las Vegas, NV — Green Hippo, an ACT Entertainment brand, will pull back the curtain on the Estuary Series at InfoComm 2026 — a next-generation media control platform engineered for the scale, speed, and creative ambition of today's most demanding live productions. The debut takes place at ACT Entertainment booth #N6813.

Green Hippo Estuary Series

Built on the proven CALICO video processing architecture from sister brand tvONE and refined for the unforgiving realities of showtime, Estuary delivers ultra-smooth, multi-layered switching across massive LED canvases — with one-frame end-to-end latency, 10-bit/HDR processing, and up to 256 layers of real-time visual control. This is the infrastructure that disappears into the performance and lets the art breathe.

Designed for concerts, touring, broadcast, immersive environments, and large-scale installations, Estuary gives operators command over expansive visual systems without the sprawl. The platform supports four canvases up to 64,000 × 64,000 pixels, seamless transitions, and a fully open control ecosystem, including DMX/sACN, HippoNet, Companion, and REST API. Whether it's anchoring a lighting workflow or running as the central media hub of a full production, Estuary unifies the entire visual stack under one roof.

"Estuary is the missing link," says Bob Bonniol, Chief Innovation Officer at ACT Entertainment. "It marries the power and flexibility of a world-class pixel canvas controller with the control workflow that lighting designers already know and love — the grandMA3 console. For the first time, the lighting operations and the media operations can live in the same language. That changes everything."

The Estuary Series launches with three purpose-built models. The MC1 is a compact 1RU controller sized for studios, corporate environments, and simulation spaces, deceptively powerful yet elegantly contained. The MC2 is a touring-grade 2RU system with modular I/O, engineered for concerts, keynotes, and immersive installations that live on the road. And at the summit, the MC4 is Green Hippo's arena-scale flagship: up to 256 layers, sub-frame latency, and the raw horsepower to drive the world's largest productions without breaking a sweat. All three models support high-bandwidth HDMI and SDI modules, advanced IP workflows, and the complete Estuary feature set.

At InfoComm 2026, attendees will see Estuary live and discover what it looks like when a platform is finally built to keep pace with the people using it.
