In today’s fast-paced media landscape, agility and quality are no longer mutually exclusive. The combination of Mavis Camera with Grass Valley’s AMPP (Agile Media Processing Platform) represents a significant advancement for content creators, broadcasters, and field journalists wanting to deliver high quality content, quickly. This is further enhanced with the inclusion of the Atomos Ninja Phone providing a powerful connected workflow for mirrorless or DSLR cameras.
From Mirrorless to AMPP in Seconds.
When paired with the Ninja Phone, Mavis Camera transforms any HDMI-equipped mirrorless or DSLR camera into a professional-grade live streaming device. With support for 10-bit ProRes, H.264 and H.265 recording, users can record locally and push content directly into Framelight X via Mavis Camera to Cloud. New for IBC 2025 is the ability for users to live stream via 5G or Wi-Fi straight into the AMPP production environment, all from a compact mobile setup.
The workflow Camera → Ninja Phone → Mavis App → AMPP enables seamless contribution to AMPP’s cloud-native infrastructure, allowing additional live feeds to be switched, recorded, and distributed as part of the production chain.
Pro Tools on Mobile
Mavis Camera gives professional content makers far more control over the iPhone’s camera than the default consumer interface. It provides control over recording formats, frame rates, color balance and focus, with visual tools to ensure the correct settings at all times. These include a wide range of expert monitoring tools, including focus peaking, false color, zebras, waveform and vectorscope. A full auto mode ensures accurate capture for rapid set-ups.
The app comes with comprehensive audio mixing and management. Connect up to eight audio channels to your phone via a USB audio interface, or a microphone with a USB output. The app brings all of this to the surface with a beautifully designed interface that feels natural to busy professionals.
Democratizing Live Production
Whether you’re capturing behind-the-scenes content, fan zone reactions, or corporate events, Mavis Camera empowers creators to contribute high-quality video to AMPP without the need for bulky gear or complex setups. This opens the door to low-cost ENG workflows, making live production accessible to prosumers and professionals alike. With large sensor mirrorless cameras becoming ever more popular in News and Entertainment, you can add the “drama look” to your production with ease.
Built for Speed and Simplicity
Thanks to the Mavis Live Streaming Protocol (MLSP) and the Mavis native AMPP app, set up is simple. The iPhone is network agnostic, supporting 5G or WiFi and thanks to Mavis’ “3 words” set up, there’s no IP addresses, hubs or complex set ups required. The Mavis camera app also now supports certified NDI 6 and SRT giving a variety of options when it comes to live streaming content.
Conclusion:
The Mavis Camera App and Atomos Ninja Phone, when combined with the AMPP Application isn’t just a technology demonstration, it’s a content enabler for all levels of broadcast. By bridging iPhones and mirrorless cameras with AMPP, it empowers creators to go live from anywhere, with professional quality and cloud-native efficiency.
Mavis, Atomos and Grass Valley will be demonstrating this workflow for the first time at IBC 2025, in Hall 9, stand A.01. Come see how easy it is to add additional content into your productions.
