Lisbon, April 2026 — wTVision, a global provider of real-time broadcast graphics and media workfl ow solutions, today announced it will unveil the R³ Engine running natively on macOS at NAB Show 2026. With this release, wTVision introduces the fi rst real-time on-air graphics rendering engine running natively on macOS, extending high-performance real-time graphics into Mac-based production environments. The milestone marks a signifi cant step in the evolution of broadcast graphics workfl ows.
Developed as a native macOS implementation leveraging Apple Metal, the R³ Engine macOS edition is designed to operate alongside Macnica’s MEP100 SmartNIC 2110 I/O, enabling SMPTE ST 2110 connectivity within software-driven environments. Together, these technologies form a fl exible Mac-based ecosystem supporting distributed live production architectures built on standard compute platforms.
“Our goal is to modernize the broadcast graphics stack,” said Flávio Maurício, CTO at wTVision. “By developing a Metal-based engine running natively on macOS, we deliver predictable real-time performance and low-latency rendering, deeply integrated with the Apple ecosystem. This milestone brings broadcast graphics closer to the environment preferred by creative teams, while supporting the evolving demands of IP-based and distributed media workflows.”
By combining Apple’s graphics framework, broadcast-grade media I/O, and R³ Engine running natively on macOS, wTVision brings the Apple ecosystem into the center of modern live production.
The joint show-case between wTVision and Macnica highlights how integrated hardware and software ecosystems can enable new performance benchmarks for real-time media production with Apple products.
“The future of live production is being built on open standards and software-defi ned infrastructure,” said Sebastien Dignard, CEO of Macnica Americas and EMEA. “By combining Metal-accelerated graphics on macOS, the wTVision real-time R³ Engine, and Macnica’s MEP100 SmartNIC for deterministic IP media transport, we are enabling a new class of scalable, high-performance production workfl ows aligned with how modern content teams operate.”
At NAB Show 2026, wTVision will demonstrate a complete graphics production workfl ow running on macOS within a live IP media environment. The showcase demonstrates how software-defi ned production tools, accelerated media I/O, and modern compute platforms can be combined to deliver scalable and reliable broadcast-grade performance graphics.
wTVision will exhibit at NAB Show 2026 from April 19 to 22 in the LVCC North Hall, Booth N1223. Attendees can use Guest Pass Code NS6959. For more information or to book a demo with the wTVision team, visit wtvision.com/nabshow-2026.
