Ingest & Playback Applications for High-Scale Distributed Production Environments

AMPP Replay is the first replay solution to integrate with an entire cloud ecosystem for live video production. Like other GV AMPP solutions, this SaaS application may be quickly accessed through any device with a browser connected over public or private internet. The first version of the AMPP Replay covers all the fundamentals for live video production. Operators can intuitively select multiple ingest and playout channels and perform highlight editing in the cloud. AMPP Replay supports all common replay functionality, including variable speed playback, shuttle, trim, page, bank, slot and playlist creation.

Ingest & playback applications for high-scale distributed production environments

The integrated nature of GV AMPP allows multiple operators at home or in their production center to seamlessly access playlists and clips of other operators, making this a highly efficient distributed replay solution.

The AMPP Replay solution from Grass Valley consists of two individual applications: an ingest application and a playback application. Each operator’s playback application can see record channels from multiple ingest applications, providing extremely flexible record channel sharing. The playback application enables the full replay functionality and supports multiple embedded real-time monitoring screens, making it possible to easily work on small displays at home.

The AMPP Replay UI is readily recognizable — even to novice users — with soft controls that are easy to use. All functionality can be accessed with either a touchscreen, with keyboard and mouse or third-party devices, like the ShuttleProV2 from Contour Design or Grass Valley's own LiveTouch control panel, for fast-turnaround sports production. The interaction between hardware and software is immediate, with no perceptible user delay. This choice of operation allows anyone to tailor the application for their optimum work environment, regardless of their location.

With the GV AMPP paradigm of high-quality distributed production in mind, the AMPP Replay solution combines an intuitive user interface that allows an operator to distribute the windows of the work environment as they see fit across multiple monitors. The easily configurable application can dock the ingest and program monitor windows directly in the AMPP Replay UI or expand into a larger view on a separate monitor.

Easy playlist and highlight creation
The thumbnail view of all clips and playlists and the clear arrangement of all assets allows operators to quickly select and edit content on the fly. Playlists may be assembled and edited with a simple drag and drop and can instantly be saved, edited and recalled.

Full access for any environment
AMPP Replay has access to any source on the GV AMPP network. Already integrated with AMPP Routing and Monitoring, selecting and viewing inputs can easily be done by the operator from their own workstation. Finished highlights may be exported to storage on AMPP for access by other solutions or archive.
