Fresh from leading video processing, signal distribution, and media playback solutions company tvONE is the new MX Series of Hippotizer Media Servers and the 1RU version of the award-winning CALICO PRO video processor.

The original CALICO PRO and its smaller form 1RU version, are both built upon tvONE’s latest patented fifth generation 4K/8K, 10-bit video processing engine, delivering unparalleled performance and versatility.

“We were thrilled to launch the CALICO PRO 2RU hardware last year, demonstrating its from-the-ground-up new design which can deliver hundreds of video layers across four huge, real-world design canvases,” says Mark Trevena, Communications and Training Manager at tvONE. “Now, we introduce the more compact 1RU CALICO video processor, within which we’ve packed 10-bit video processing that ships with a fixed I/O configuration of six 4K60 inputs and two 4K60 outputs together with a built-in media store for background images and labels.”

The CALICO PRO technology delivers superior results for 4K video sources and still images at their native resolution, utilizing their propriety 10-bit video processing. The goal is to ensure that no detail is lost from source to display with guaranteed visual perfection right down to pixel level. It can power up to 16.5 million pixels across two outputs and delivers hundreds of low latency 4K video windows with seamless performance and 24/7 reliability.
