Latest news from the world of AMPP

Welcome to our latest blog post, where we dive into some exciting new features and updates that have recently rolled out on the AMPP Platform. Here’s a roundup of the key highlights:

Experience the Future of Media with Maverik X

Discover Maverik X, the cutting-edge software-based switcher powered by AMPP, designed for maximum agility and format flexibility. Operable on local, hybrid, or cloud compute, Maverik X leads the industry by seamlessly integrating uncompressed and compressed inputs and outputs and supporting full 10-bit UHD HDR workflows with features like automatic up/down/cross conversion and HDR LUT mapping.

Versatile Control Options

Maverik X offers unprecedented control versatility. Manage it via fully customizable HTML5 interfaces on PCs and tablets, third-party control surfaces like Skaarhoj, or the familiar Grass Valley modular Maverik switcher panel. This flexibility ensures consistent operator experience while allowing bespoke panel designs.

Comprehensive Features

Maverik X is packed with advanced features, including picture-in-picture with 2D resizing, image cropping, opacity, border controls, built-in wipes, and custom transitions for distinctive branding. It offers scalability and integration, fitting seamlessly into cloud-based workflows, and efficient resource management as an AMPP-native tool.

Since its general availability last month, Maverik X has seen continuous enhancements, including input resizing (minimizing the need for downstream DVE), integrated still store control and loop, and macro events integration.

Revolutionize Your Video Production with AMPP Grid

As the industry transitions to software-defined solutions, AMPP Grid pushes the boundaries of what COTS or cloud compute can achieve. No longer confined to the limitations of a single server, AMPP Grid allows workflows to seamlessly span multiple connected servers, maintaining high quality and imperceptible latency. This seamless flow exchange between nodes treats them as one large GV AMPP node, simplifying management.

Revolutionary Media Processing

AMPP’s asynchronous approach to media processing makes this innovation possible. AMPP Grid is already being utilized in tier 1 and tier 2 productions, offering unmatched agility and flexibility for media organizations and service providers.

Scalable and On-Demand

Scale your processing capabilities freely and assign resources to productions on demand. AMPP Grid’s unique advanced architecture delivers a world-first capability in media, revolutionizing video production.

AMPP Graphics: A Versatile, Efficient Tool for High-Quality Broadcast Graphics

As the demand for cost-efficient, lightweight graphics solutions grows, traditional monolithic graphics solutions have become less viable due to high compute usage and complex integrations. This has led to a shift towards HTML5 graphics solutions, which offer minimal host usage and easy integration.

While GV AMPP supports Singular Live and VizRT Flowics, customer demand for simpler tools for basic straps and bugs prompted the introduction of AMPP Graphics. This tool offers several compelling features for broadcast graphics:

HTML5-Based System: Ensures accessibility and ease of use, allowing intricate compositions with text, animations, and JavaScript functions.
Resolution Independence: Adapts to different resolutions without redesign.
Centralized Storage: Provides easy access and integration into AMPP flows via the GV Graphics app or Live Producer shot.
Seamless Integration: Enables smooth triggering of animations and text changes through AMPP control panels or macros.

Unlock the Potential of AMPP Control Panels for Media Operations

AMPP Control Panels are essential for broadcast professionals, offering customizable interfaces tailored to specific workflows. Users can design software interfaces for desktops or tablets or map them to hardware panels. They manage all AMPP applications, including the Maverik X production switcher, and integrate seamlessly with Grass Valley Maverik, Kahuna, and KULA panels.

Versatile and User-Friendly

AMPP Control Panels provide various control types and properties, adaptable to different operational needs. Centralized control via the AMPP Control API allows configuration and management of multiple workloads through a single API, enhancing efficiency.

Enhanced Customization

New widget types and the replicate button in the control button property editor simplify building custom control panels, ideal for setting up large panels for Maverik X. Experience the versatility and efficiency of AMPP Control Panels to revolutionize your media operations.
