GV Media Universe
Grass Valley is the frontrunner in the industry’s charge towards a softwaredefined future with the introduction of the GV Media Universe, a revolutionary, cloud-native approach to fulfilling the business and operational needs of the broadcast industry based on the enormous power of elastic compute. It is a comprehensive ecosystem of cloud-based tools and services, interconnected with existing solutions, partner offerings and a community of marketplaces that revolutionises the way live media is produced. It allows content developers and media organisations to create content more efficiently and get far greater yield per asset than has ever been possible.
At its core is GV AMPP, the Agile Media Processing Platform, a cloudbased SaaS platform that leverages modern elastic computing technologies, providing unprecedented flexibility to spin up or spin down applications as needed — only paying for what is used. GV AMPP is easily deployed on any public cloud environment or even run on-premise in a datacentre or in hybrid configurations.

LDX 100
Grass Valley solutions enable seamless, IP-first workflows for live and remote production, including its award-winning IP camera platform, the LDX 100. Built from the ground up with native IP connectivity, the LDX 100 camera platform was launched in April 2020. It is a high-speed, native UHD camera that takes a revolutionary approach to camera design by delivering IP signals directly into the network. It enables convenient access to IP signals wherever they are needed, such as return feed monitoring from another camera position. The LDX 100 leverages the full power and agility of IP by delivering easy, rapid set-up and configuration and the ability to add features as needed.
GV Orbit
Another innovation that helps customers easily transition to IP is GV Orbit, a single, consolidated, overarching configuration, control and monitoring package specifically designed for dynamic orchestration of broadcast media networks, whether they be SDI, hybrid or pure IP. Its underlying architecture, however, is targeted at open standards-based IP systems with many features and functions crafted to make IP easy. The ability to build, configure and change systems on-the-fly, whether adding/removing devices or simply changing a name, is hugely powerful.
GV K-Frame XP
Grass Valley is renowned in the world of live production for delivering the highest quality solutions and this continues with the GV K-Frame XP Compact Video Production Centre. It introduces a new generation of single-raster 4K UHD products for live production. Paired with any of Grass Valley’s Kayenne, Karrera, Korona or KSP panels, GV K-Frame XP provides unsurpassed 4K UHD connectivity with every input and output supporting 4K UHD 2160p signals.
LiveTouch

LiveTouch’s support of HDR and 4K UHD slow-motion replay along with full super slow-motion support up to 8x making it ideal for pairing with the high-end capabilities of Grass Valley LDX cameras in remote or at-home productions.
Express NAS Storage and Edius X
2020 brought some significant highlights to Grass Valley’s production solutions including AMS Express NAS Storage, a scalable, high-performance Network Attached Storage solution that allows content producers to more easily expand storage capacity. It is ideal for remote production, corporate, education and outside broadcast (OB) deployments. Combining compute, network and secure storage capability in a 2RU footprint, the system is costefficient, easy-to-use and can be up and running in hours.
