HIVE Media Control Acquired by Panasonic | Technology M&A Deal

Panasonic has acquired HIVE Media Control, a enterprise software business in the UK. HIVE Media Control provides media playback and control technology for immersive and fixed-installation environments, supporting synchronized content across multiple displays and surfaces. Panasonic seeks to expand beyond projection and display hardware by adding software, workflow, and integrated media-delivery capabilities to its visual solutions ecosystem. The Panasonic acquisitions are structured as an add on acquisition under strategic acquisition terms, with HIVE expected to continue operating as an independent, vendor-neutral company for existing clients and collaborators. Deal size was not disclosed, and the acquisition was announced in 2026.
