Green Hippo announces its new Hippotizer Media Server training courses at Pixel Academy, a purpose‑built AV learning hub designed for hands-on creativity, real‑world technology and expert‑led instruction. Green Hippo and sister brand tvONE, both part of ACT Entertainment, created Pixel Academy to equip the next generation of live events and AV professionals with the skills to deliver immersive and interactive visual experiences.
“Based inside Green Hippo’s R&D Innovation Centre in Maidenhead — just 20 minutes from London Heathrow — the academy gives direct access to the latest high‑performance tools, including the award-winning Hippotizer MX Series Media Servers, Calico Pro creative video processors and a full suite of high-resolution LED displays that create a truly immersive space,” the announcement states.
“Pixel Academy is an environment where imagination and engineering co-create,” says Bob Bonniol, Chief Innovation Officer at ACT Entertainment. “It gives creators the tools and the space to experiment, to prototype, to fail forward and ultimately to build experiences that move people. This isn’t just training — it is fuel for the next wave of immersive storytelling.”
The first course launches on April 14, 2026, delivering an intensive one‑day deep dive into Green Hippo’s next-generation Hippotizer Media Servers, with a second foundation session running on Tuesday, May 19, 2026.
Designed for live event designers, operators, distributors, sales engineers, broadcast teams and integration specialists, the course blends real‑world scenarios with practical workflows to unlock the full power of Hippotizer.
“At Pixel Academy, we’re focused on giving Green Hippo users a genuine edge,” says Mark Trevena, Communications and Training Manager at tvONE. “This is hands‑on, operator‑level learning built around the way real shows are delivered. If you want to get faster, smarter and more confident with Hippotizer, this is the room to be in. Seats are limited and they go quickly — it is shaping up to be a standout course.”
Pixel Academy is also working toward Avixa CTS RU accreditation, to ensure every course meets the highest standards in professional AV education. To deliver a state‑of‑the‑art learning environment, Green Hippo has partnered with tvOne, Vantix Displays, B‑Tech AV Mounts, Matrox Video, Lumens and NetGear, to integrate premium display, networking and mounting solutions throughout the facility.
The announcement concludes, “With Pixel Academy, Green Hippo is investing in the future, empowering AV and live events professionals with the skills, confidence and creative firepower to lead the next era of immersive media.”
