ACT Entertainment announces acquisition of tvONE

ACT Entertainment has acquired the video processing, signal distribution and media playback solutions company tvONE,

The acquisition is a first foray into video equipment for ACT Entertainment which has completed multiple acquisitions since 2017, bringing RapcoHorizon, AC Power Distribution and other brands under the ACT banner.

tvONE is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio with R&D and manufacturing based in the UK, where the company also owns the media server and digital display products company Green Hippo. The company’s existing management and structure will remain in place after the acquisition.

ACT’s acquisition of the tvONE line of video products follows the company’s recent move into the audio sector with distribution of PK Sound’s robotic line array systems. PK Sound joins ACT’s  roster of brands exclusively distributed to customers in North America, including Ayrton and Robert Juliat lighting, MA Lighting, AC Power Distribution, MDG atmosphere generators, and zactrack automated follow systems.

“We are pleased to announce the acquisition of tvONE, which continues to build on ACT’s mission of providing tools to help our customers realise their creative vision,” said Ben Saltzman, CEO of ACT Entertainment. “tvONE is known for its exciting, cutting-edge product lines, and we know our customers will be pleased to have access to them to provide more efficient end-to-end solutions for their projects.”

“We are delighted with our partnership with ACT, a well-respected and powerful company at the core of live production, our largest market,” says Andy Fliss, tvONE’s president. “The reach that ACT has established in live events will be a tremendous boon for our product lines. The width and depth of ACT in providing comprehensive solutions and system integration will further enable all of our customers in their work.”
