We’re in August, which means only one thing… it’s time to start making press appointments for IBC2026! This year, we’re scheduling bookings for Calrec (8.C47). If you would like to make an appointment please get in touch – and if you've already booked an appointment, please ignore this email. Read on below for a preview of what Calrec will be showing at IBC2026.
Calrec IBC2026 Preview – Stand 8.C47:
Calrec will show how its IP-native ecosystem, with the award-winning Argo console range at its centre, puts more choice in broadcasters' hands. Built to run on-prem, remote, virtualised, or connected through orchestration platforms such as Grass Valley's AMPP and NEP's Platform, Argo lets productions be configured project by project – so cost tracks the scale of the job, not the reverse.
New for IBC 2026: Look out for two exciting product announcements at 11:30am on Friday 11th September, on Stand 8.C47.

One ecosystem, every production model
At IBC 2026, Calrec presents its IP ecosystem powered by remote production capability True Control 2.0, built around Argo S and Argo M consoles – networked with an ImPulse IP processing core and ImPulseV virtualised audio mixing engine. Three Argo consoles on the stand will link via True Control 2.0 to a fourth at Calrec's Hebden Bridge, UK head office.
IBC Debut: Expanded virtualised audio offering
ImPulseV adds two smaller DSP packages – 96 and 140 path – alongside the existing 256-path option, each with full processing per path and support for 5.1 and immersive formats up to 7.1.4. New shorter licensing terms (one year, 12 weeks, four weeks) suit temporary or one-off productions.
IBC Debut: Software updates
- Argo v1.4.24 – operator enhancements, available now
- Type R v3.2 – improved Mix Minus outputs, Assist Upstand meter tiles, Off Air record contribution dialogue and Syslog support
- Argo Offline Assist – preview of offline configuration, available Q4
