Megapixel VR

What Megapixel VR does

Megapixel, legally H2VR HoldCo, Inc. and headquartered in Valencia, California, builds an integrated LED ecosystem combining display technology (Ventana MicroLED), video processing (HELIOS, PX1), in-camera visual effects software (GhostFrame), and system monitoring (OMNIS, CLOUD) into a single platform. Founded in 2017 by Jeremy Hochman and Keith Harrison, the company serves three primary use-case segments: studios (virtual production and broadcast), live events (concerts, award shows, sports broadcasts), and fixed installs (corporate, retail, museums, luxury residential). Technical differentiators include 100G SMPTE ST 2110 ingest, tile-side processing with cryptographic authentication, automatic pixel fault compensation, and integrations with major color, broadcast, and AV-over-IP ecosystems.

The company monetizes through a mix of one-time hardware sales (HELIOS processors, PX1 receiver cards, Ventana MicroLED tiles), recurring software subscriptions for CLOUD monitoring services billed monthly, and custom professional services for clients with non-standard creative requirements. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with a global channel network of distributors (4Wall, Nationwide Video, NEP), studio partners (ARKVENTURES, Disguise), and manufacturer integration partners (ROE Visual, Crestron, Sony, LG, NVIDIA). The platform underpins marquee deployments such as the Eurovision Song Contest and high-profile installations at Qasr Al Watan and Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, with claimed reach into 35+ broadcasters and 160M+ viewers for Eurovision 2026 coverage.
