Grass Valley advances integrated Live Production for unified media operations At IBC2026. K-Frame and Maverik X innovations extend familiar production control into AMPP, alongside new replay, audio, commentary and communications capabilities K-Frame remains the dedicated production core for demanding live productions Grass Valley will also introduce AMPP Commentator, a browser-based application for professional commentary from venues, remote locations or temporary production setups At IBC2026, Grass Valley will demonstrate an integrated live production environment that brings dedicated hardware, software-based applications and partner technologies together within a unified media operation. Aligned with Grass Valley's Dynamic Media Facility strategy, the showcase combines K-Frame, Maverik X, LiveTouch X and new AMPP applications across switching, replay, audio, commentary and communications. Production teams can introduce software-defined capabilities while retaining the control surfaces, workflows and performance they rely on for live production. "Live production does not leave room for hesitation," said Greg Huttie, VP Live Production Solutions at Grass Valley. "Operators need immediate control, predictable performance and the confidence to make decisions in the moment. At IBC, we are showing how K-Frame continues to provide that trusted live core, while extending its reach across software-based production, replay, venues and distributed teams." Extending Familiar Control into AMPP K-Frame remains the dedicated production core for demanding live productions, with true suites operation allowing multiple productions to share processing and I/O resources while retaining independent control. At IBC, Grass Valley will demonstrate expanded UltraMatch format conversion, additional programmable outputs and integration with Daktronics LED mapping, supporting broadcast feeds and in-venue displays from the same production. Integration with CUEZ Automate adds automation for planned and repeatable sequences while operators retain control of editorial decisions. K-Frame control panels now extend into AMPP, allowing operators to use familiar tactile surfaces and workflows with Maverik X. The software-based production switcher also supports Maverik modular panels, Korona, Stream Deck and Skaarhoj surfaces, giving customers a choice of control options across on-premises, edge and cloud deployments. New Maverik X capabilities include luma keying, WYSIWYG DVE control and timeline sequence automation. Operators can build and trigger timed actions for opening sequences, transitions and recurring production elements, with sequences able to trigger actions across AMPP and connected Grass Valley Alliance applications. "Software production should expand what a production team can do, not force it to relearn how to work," said Jonathan Lyth, Product Director for Live Applications and Enterprise Media at Grass Valley. "By extending familiar control into AMPP and making the user experience customizable, we can reduce technical complexity and give each operator the controls they need for the production in front of them." Replay, Audio and Distributed Production LiveTouch X enhancements extend sports replay within the same production environment. New multi-camera controls support angle selection and switching during highlights, alongside expanded audio monitoring, faster navigation and clearer on-air feedback. Direct integration with Grass Valley's triple-speed LDX cameras connects acquisition and replay, while Production Replay X brings replay, clip playback and highlight creation into AMPP for hybrid and distributed productions. Calrec ImPulseV brings broadcast audio control into the AMPP environment, connecting virtualized DSP and familiar operator surfaces with the wider production workflow. Grass Valley and partner technologies can operate within the same environment, with Zoom ISOcloud bringing remote participants into AMPP as individual production sources, NDI expanding connectivity, and MXMZ and Flowics providing graphics integration. Grass Valley will also introduce AMPP Commentator, a browser-based application for professional commentary from venues, remote locations or temporary production setups. Commentators can receive program video and audio, manage monitoring, microphone and talkback, and return broadcast-quality audio directly into AMPP. The newly released Audio Cart application further provides playout of music, stings, audience effects and other short-form audio elements used during live production. AMPP Intercom, announced at NAB 2026, extends production communications across facilities and remote locations. It can operate independently or connect with existing facility intercom environments, keeping communications between operators and contributors within the same distributed production architecture. Extending the Production Environment The same production foundation supports Broadcast AV and Enterprise Media applications through Event Producer X and Framelight X. Event Producer X provides a streamlined production environment for town halls, leadership communications and corporate events, with interfaces that can be tailored to the operator and production. Framelight X connects live output with media management, browser-based editing, review and distribution. LayerCake provides the infrastructure, AMPP applications and resources required for each production, while Slide Relay integrates PowerPoint presentation control and contribution. Together, these capabilities allow organizations to simplify operation for less-specialist users while retaining access to the production and content tools required for professional output. Grass Valley's IBC showcase demonstrates how Dynamic Media Facility principles can be applied across live production, connecting established hardware, software-defined applications and partner technologies without requiring production teams to abandon familiar ways of working. Customers can select and deploy resources according to each production while extending existing workflows across facilities, remote locations and software-based environments. "Hybrid production is not about choosing hardware or software," added Lyth. "It is about bringing the right resources together for each production and making them simple for people to operate. That is how AMPP helps customers unify media operations while putting the principles of the Dynamic Media Facility into practice today." Visitors can experience Grass Valley's integrated live production portfolio at Booth 9.A01 during IBC2026, September 11-14, at RAI Amsterdam.

Grass Valley connects SDI, IP and software as one unified infrastructure at IBC2026. New routing, modular processing, orchestration and monitoring capabilities bridge dedicated hardware and software-based processing as part of the Dynamic Media Facility MONTREAL, CANADA - AUGUST 21, 2026 - At IBC2026, Grass Valley will showcase infrastructure connecting SDI, SMPTE ST 2110, MXL and software-based processing as one unified operational environment. Under the theme Connect Everything, Everywhere, Grass Valley will demonstrate how media organizations can modernize existing facilities without replacing the surrounding infrastructure or creating new operational silos. Routing, processing, orchestration and monitoring come together across dedicated hardware and software-defined workflows, supporting unified media operations and Grass Valley's hybrid-by-design approach. Routing for Modern UHD Production IBC2026 will provide the first opportunity to see the Altair 12G-SDI router following its initial shipments earlier this year. Designed for small and mid-sized facilities, production hubs, venues and mobile production, Altair combines 12G-SDI routing and multiviewing in a compact 6RU frame, scaling to 160x160 12G-SDI I/O and up to 16 independent multiviewers. Through AMPP Orchestration, it becomes part of the wider infrastructure environment. Modular Processing Across SDI, IP and MXL Grass Valley will showcase Densité improved capabilities across XIP-3911 and the newly released ACE-3901 modular infrastructure. XIP-3911-IO improves performance, stability and workflows for hybrid SDI and SMPTE ST 2110, with frame synchronization, precision timing, mixed frame-rate and film-mode support, switching, expanded audio profiles and improved PTP stability. The newly released ACE-3901 provides two high-density gateway applications with the latest generation processing core, showcasing this next-generation infrastructure at IBC2026 for the first time. ACE-3901-IO provides SDI to uncompressed SMPTE ST 2110 conversion, supporting up to 64 3G-SDI signals in 32x32 or 32 12G-SDI signals in 16x16 on a single card. ACE-3901-GRID connects SDI directly with AMPP for MXL-native, software-based production, initially supporting up to 32 3G-SDI GRID gateway signals in a 16x16 configuration per card, with deterministic, low-latency performance. Recognized with Best of Show awards at IBC2025 and NAB Show 2026, ACE-3901-GRID bridges established infrastructure and the Dynamic Media Facility. Together, ACE-3901-IO and ACE-3901-GRID connect SDI with either SMPTE ST 2110 or MXL workflows. One Orchestration Layer Across More Signal Types AMPP Orchestration brings hardware, software and distributed resources into a common operational environment. At IBC2026, Grass Valley will demonstrate orchestration across SDI, SMPTE ST 2110, MXL, AMPP Global Streaming and TVU MediaMesh routing. NMOS newly enables MXL flow discovery and control, while GV Orbit extends orchestration into established infrastructure including Altair, XIP-3911 and ACE-3901. Scalable Monitoring and Operational Visibility Kaleido-IP X brings mesh multiviewer capabilities to AMPP, enabling monitoring of any AMPP-supported input, including MXL, through familiar Kaleido workflows. The demonstration combines multi-channel monitoring with Playout X and a new penalty box function and display for feeds requiring attention. Together, Kaleido-IP X and AMPP provide scalable monitoring across facilities, edge locations and software-processing environments through a common multiviewer experience. Controlled Evolution, Not Forced Replacement The new capabilities reflect the reality that SDI, ST 2110, MXL, remote connectivity and software-based processing increasingly need to coexist. Grass Valley allows customers to retain infrastructure that delivers value, connect it with new processing and production models, and introduce capabilities as requirements evolve. Altair provides UHD routing and multiviewing; XIP-3911 strengthens hybrid SDI and IP processing; ACE-3901 connects SDI with ST 2110 and MXL; and AMPP brings orchestration and observability across the wider environment. Together, they put the principles of the Dynamic Media Facility into practice by making hardware and software resources available as one connected infrastructure layer, operated and monitored through a common AMPP experience.
