Green Hippo Unveils Estuary Series At InfoComm 2026

Green Hippo, an ACT Entertainment brand, is unveiling the Estuary Series at InfoComm 2026, a next-generation media control platform designed for the speed, scale and creativity of today's most demanding live productions. The launch will be showcased on ACT Entertainment's stand (N6813).

Built on the proven CALICO video processing architecture from sister company tvONE and refined for the rigours of showtime, Estuary delivers ultra-smooth, multi-layer switching across expansive LED canvases, with one-frame end-to-end latency, 10-bit/HDR processing and up to 256 layers of real-time control. It is intended to stay out of the way so the creative takes centre stage.

Targeted at concerts, touring, broadcast, immersive environments and large-scale installations, Estuary gives operators command of vast visual systems without unnecessary sprawl. The platform supports four canvases up to 64,000 × 64,000 pixels, seamless transitions and an open control ecosystem including DMX/sACN, HippoNet, Companion and a REST API. It can anchor a lighting workflow or act as the central media hub, unifying the entire visual stack.

"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. MC1 is a compact 1RU controller suited to studios, corporate spaces and simulation environments, offering considerable power in a small footprint. MC2 is a touring-grade 2RU system with modular I/O for concerts, keynotes and travelling immersive installations. At the top end, MC4 is the arena-scale flagship, providing up to 256 layers, sub-frame latency and the processing headroom to drive the largest productions. All models support high-bandwidth HDMI and SDI modules, advanced IP workflows and the full Estuary feature set.

InfoComm attendees can see Estuary live on the show floor and experience a platform built to keep pace with the people using it.
