Collaboration Ensures Seamless Integration Between NETGEAR AV Networking and ACT Entertainment’s Video Processing

and Lighting Control Brands

ACT Entertainment and NETGEAR have announced a strategic partnership that establishes verified interoperability between NETGEAR Switches and key technologies from ACT’s tvONE, Green Hippo and lighting control brands. The companies will highlight this partnership at InfoComm 2026 (ACT Booth N6813), where attendees will find demos of the NETGEAR switches working in collaboration with the ACT solutions.

The partnership ensures that live production professionals can confidently deploy fully validated, high-performance network infrastructure across lighting, video processing and media playback. It also streamlines deployment and reduces complexity in demanding real-time environments where network reliability and low-latency performance are critical.

“ACT Entertainment is thrilled to announce this full-stack production partnership with NETGEAR AV, which ensures that the entire production ecosystem — from control to processing to playback — is verified and supported on the network’s leading production IP backbone,” says Bob Bonniol, Chief Innovation Officer, ACT Entertainment. “As productions continue to evolve toward increasingly network-centric workflows, this collaboration gives our customers the confidence that their fully validated, interoperable systems are backed by world-class support and training resources through our U.S.-based ACT Academy and UK-based Pixel Academy.”
