Calrec Puts Broadcaster Choice Centre Stage at MPTS 2026

01/05/2026

Choice without compromise

The broadcast industrys transformation is accelerating, and traditional broadcasters are having to fundamentally reinvent how they operate to keep pace. Platform proliferation is fragmenting audiences and driving demand for more content produced at lower cost. Navigating that reality requires agile, scalable solutions, but above all, it requires choice: the freedom to build and adapt workflows that precisely match the commercial and creative needs of every production.

Calrec is uniquely positioned to support broadcasters through this major technical, business and commercial transition. At MPTS 2026, visitors will see the companys award-winning IP range powered by True Control 2.0 in action a flexible, scalable framework that broadcasters can configure from any combination of Calrec products to precisely match the demands of their production. The presentation will include Calrecs IP-native 24-fader Argo M console together with a modular Type R mixing system and Argo S console, all powered by True Control 2.0.

Calrec will demonstrate ImPulseV virtual DSP software the cornerstone of the companys virtualisation strategy, which is deployable across multiple hosting environments. ImPulseV now features expanded architecture 96 and 140 path configurations alongside the existing 256-processing path option and flexible licensing one year, 12 weeks and four weeks giving broadcasters the freedom to scale production on their own terms. Calrecs MPTS 2026 presentation will also include a preview of Argo Offline Assist, a browser-based tool allowing offline configuration.

ImPulseV: Ecosystems in motion

Two landmark partnerships announced in recent weeks underline the momentum behind Calrecs virtualisation strategy. At NAB 2026, Calrec and Grass Valley announced a deeper integration of ImPulseV, Calrecs Virtualised Audio Mixing Engine within Grass Valleys AMPP Cloud-Native Live Production Platform uniting Tier 1 audio and video capabilities within a single, market-leading ecosystem.

Weeks earlier, NEP Group selected ImPulseV as a cornerstone of its orchestration and deployment on NEP platform, enabling virtualised production environments that can be precisely configured to the needs of any production.

Both partnerships reflect the broader trajectory of live production moving towards flexible, hybrid workflows that blend hardware, on-premise, virtual and distributed resources. ImPulseV is designed for this environment. Deployable across COTS hardware, public cloud and existing processing infrastructure, it gives broadcasters the freedom to scale dynamically, orchestrate audio across distributed DSP environments and build production models that match the commercial reality of every project.

Argo M: Big performance, smaller footprint

Argo M delivers all the power and reliability of Calrecs flagship Argo platform in a compact 24, 36 and new 48-fader footprint with up to 356 channels of internal DSP, plug-and-play ST2110 and virtual connectivity, and seamless integration with ImPulse, ImPulse1 and ImPulseV for additional DSP paths as production demands evolve. All Argo consoles also benefit from the newly released v1.4.24 software update, which builds on the acclaimed functionality of v1.4 with a range of operator enhancements and is available immediately.

True Control 2.0: Control without limits

As broadcasters blend hardware and on-premise infrastructure with remote operations and virtual resources, True Control 2.0 is the unifying force that holds it all together, enabling deep remote control, dynamic scaling and distributed workflow orchestration across Calrecs entire IP range. A single controller can manage up to five Calrec consoles or processing cores simultaneously, expanding capability without additional hardware investment.

Argo S: Where performance meets flexibility

Argo S is built for the most demanding live broadcast environments, giving broadcasters the hands-on real estate and precision control to adapt to any production. The new v1.4 software update enhances that capability further, with enhanced routing strip functionality, customisable Tiles, a streamlined Mix Minus workflow and DAW control via MIDI, alongside updates to NMOS Control, status updates, monitoring and Calrec Connect interfacing.

Type R: Scale on your terms

Type R, Calrecs modular, expandable IP mixing system, combines a fully 5.1 capable IP core with True Control 2.0 to deliver flexible, automated broadcast workflows on a cost-effective SMPTE 2110-compliant backbone. A new v3.2 software update builds on that foundation with improved Mix Minus outputs, Assist Upstand meter tiles, Off Air record contribution dialogue and Syslog support.

Join the conversation

Henry Goodman, Calrecs Director of Product Management is chairing a session at MPTS titled Scaling Smart: Agile Remote Production & Virtualised Workflows with Vivid Broadcast, Aurora Media Worldwide and Calrec.
