Imagine Showcases Expanded Multiviewer Portfolio At 2026 NAB Show

At the 2026 NAB Show , Imagine Communications will showcase its newly expanded multiviewer portfolio designed to meet the full spectrum of confidence monitoring requirements in modern media workflows. Visitors to the Imagine stand can explore multiviewers purpose-built for any monitoring application from live production and playout to master control and OTT environments — on‑prem, in hybrid deployments, and in the cloud.

Making its first NAB Show appearance since joining the Imagine portfolio, Prismon is a fully software-defined multiviewer and convergent A/V monitoring platform built on a scalable, distributed architecture that supports thousands of signals across dozens of mosaics. Deployable on prem and in the cloud, Prismon delivers powerful master control and playout capabilities that complement the ultra-low-latency production capabilities of Imagine’s industry-proven SNP Multiviewer, which is ideal for dynamic live production environments. Together, they enable Imagine to offer one of the most comprehensive portfolios of IP and IP-hybrid multiviewer solutions available on the market.

Added to the Imagine portfolio following the company’s 2025 acquisition of Pixel Power, Prismon offers sophisticated monitoring and advanced layout tools ideally suited for large‑scale playout, master control, network operations, and OTT delivery. The industry’s only software‑defined multiviewer supporting both IP and SDI workflows, it consolidates ST 2110, ST 2022‑6, SDI, and OTT sources into a unified monitoring environment with a centralized Control Center that enables operators to easily manage all displays from a single intuitive interface. Imagine has rapidly built on Prismon’s well-established global customer base with more than 1,400 PiP licenses sold since the acquisition.

Optimized for live-production workflows, the SNP Multiviewer is built on Imagine’s widely deployed Selenio™ Network Processor, which has become the processing platform of choice for media companies across the industry with more than 5,000 units shipped to date. Combining ultra-low latency, native ST 2110 support, real-time UHD rendering, and flexible HDR/SDR processing in compact, power-efficient form factors, the SNP Multiviewer is ideal for any live production environment, as demonstrated by deployments in multiple market sectors including mobile production trucks, houses of worship, and sports venues.

2026 NAB Show attendees can get hands-on demos of Prismon and SNP Multiviewer at Imagine’s new North Hall location. A focal point of the company’s show presence, Prismon will be demonstrated powering a striking 26-foot-wide, 6.5-foot-tall HD multiview display, mounted 9 feet above the floor and spanning the entire front of the Imagine booth.
