CLOUD-BASED WORKFLOWS
GV AMPP - Agile Media Processing Platform
Grass Valley's GV AMPP, the Agile Media Processing Platform, is the first cloud-based SaaS platform for broadcast to fully leverage the power of elastic compute. Built for the cloud from the start, GV AMPP is specifically designed to overcome broadcasters' long-time reliance on costly and inflexible hardware-based media systems. Using nothing more than a browser on a laptop, this revolutionary platform empowers you with unprecedented flexibility to spin up or spin down applications as needed — and to only pay for the services you use — even in traditionally costly live production environments.
CAMERAS
Our Camera Range
Whether you're looking for a high-performance but low-cost camera for a small studio or live event application or want the very best in 4K HDR image capture technology, Grass Valley has a camera to suit your needs.
There a two main series of Grass Valley cameras:
Focus Series: Entry-level cameras with 720p/1080i user-switchable image capture. Ideal for smaller live studios, regional broadcast stations, SNG vans, university sports productions, staging and houses of worship.
LDX Series: A software upgradable camera platform with native 4K UHD and 3G/HD image capture as well as HDR and extended color gamut support with up to 15 F-stops or >800% of regular cameras for all 50/59.94 Hz formats. Whether it's HD or 3X super slow-motion today, 3G or 6X super slow-motion tomorrow, or 4K UHD down the road, you'll be ready for whatever your productions demand.
PRODUCTION SWITCHERS
You can find Grass Valley switchers just about anywhere: live sports stadiums and outdoor broadcast vehicles, remote production sites, broadcast studios, corporate studios, churches, and universities. These switchers power some of the most watched media content around the world.
From switchers that fit in a fly pack to the largest I/O count and number of M/Es available, Grass Valley offers an array of control surfaces Kayenne, Karrera, Korona, Maverik, and Kula to drive versatile video processing engines K-Frame, Kahuna, and Kula that meet users’ preferences.
LIVETOUCH
LiveTouch is a scalable replay system that makes highlights and instant replay workflows fast and effortless. LiveTouch's support of HDR and 4K UHD slow-motion replay along with full super slow-motion support up to 8x make it ideal for pairing with the high-end capabilities of Grass Valley LDX cameras in remote or at-home productions.
MEDIA ASSET MANAGEMENT
