tvONE Launches Pixel Academy: Elevating The Future Of Pro AV Training
August 11, 2025
Maidenhead, UK - tvONE proudly announces the launch of Pixel Academy, a dynamic new centre for AV training that blends professional AV technology with expert-led, hands-on instruction. From advanced signal processing to seamless video distribution and multi-window solutions, Pixel Academy is built to empower the next generation of AV innovators.
Strategically located at tvONE’s R&D Innovation Centre in Maidenhead, just 20 minutes from London Heathrow, Pixel Academy offers easy access for AV professionals across the UK and Europe. The training facility features the company’s latest high-performance solutions, including the award-winning CALICO PRO and CORIOmaster2 video processors, as well as a full array of LED displays in both traditional and creative formats.
Pixel Academy is precisely the kind of initiative that empowers creatives and technologists to push boundaries, said Bob Bonniol, Emmy Award winner and Director of Innovation for Video at tvONE. It’s more than training—it’s a launchpad into the art of placemaking, a passport to the kind of magical, transportive tools that make audiences forget where they are and who they were. This is how we shape the future of immersive storytelling—and actually enjoy the ride.
The first course kicks off on Wednesday, 17th September with an intensive, one-day deep dive into CALICO PRO - tailored specifically for system designers, integrators, and AV consultants. Attendees will engage in real-world scenarios and technical breakdowns designed to unlock the full capabilities of tvONE’s next-generation video processors.
“At Pixel Academy, we’re all about giving professionals the edge,” added Mark Trevena, Communications and Training Manager, tvONE. “This is hands-on, practical learning designed to amplify what’s possible with tvONE technology. With limited seats and quick registration, it’s set to be a standout day.”
Pixel Academy is actively working toward full AVIXA CTS RU accreditation, ensuring every course meets the highest standards for excellence in AV education.
To deliver a state-of-the-art learning environment, tvONE has teamed up with Vanguard LED Displays and B-Tech AV Mounts, integrating high-performance display and mounting solutions throughout Pixel Academy. With the launch of Pixel Academy, tvONE is investing in the future, equipping AV professionals with the skills, experience, and vision to lead a new era of immersive media and technology.
