Grass Valley Showcases Innovative Solutions For Live Events

Grass Valley is bringing more than 65 years of media and entertainment technology leadership to ISE for the first time to showcase a range of cutting-edge solutions for the live events, corporate, and education sectors.

Visitors to the Grass Valley stand in Barcelona will be able to experience a suite of high-end, yet cost-effective technology from the GV Media Universe that is being utilized by organizations such as Gfinity, Electronic Arts Competitive Gaming Entertainment, and Corrivium to empower productions of all sizes and scales.

Grass Valley's renowned switcher portfolio covers a wide variety of applications. Live Producer X is designed to offer live events productions the same high-end features as a traditional live production switcher, but with a much simpler operational paradigm. It aims to put the power of storytelling in the hands of creatives and producers without requiring formal switcher training. Users are able to organise a show into a series of layouts, scenes and shots, and configure looks in advance to help with templating and repeatability.

Sport Producer X is a newly released solution on the AMPP operating system that combines switching, replay, graphics, audio production, and multiviewers into a single intuitive interface. It is designed for small to mid-tier live productions, making it suitable for corporate and education applications, and offers single-seat production interface, comprehensive workflow integration, and flexible deployment.

The Kaleido-IP Video Multiviewer, recently deployed with France Televisions, offers the most simultaneous video and audio program decodes in the industry, including SMPTE ST 2110 suite, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 part 2 (H.263) and part 10 (H.264/AVC), H.265/HEVC, HE-AAC v1 & v2, AAC, DD 2.0, DD 5.1 and DD+. The Kaleido-IP VM version offers all the benefits of virtualisation in an easy to deploy virtual image (OVA file) for scalable, space-saving and easy-to-manage installations.

Also being demonstrated is the LiveTouch X; the first replay solution to enable creatives to collaborate on live video production from any location. An AMPP solution, LiveTouch X is a SaaS application that allows operators to work remotely through any device with a browser connected over public or private internet. It covers all the fundamentals for live video production, enabling operators to intuitively select multiple ingest and playout channels and perform highlights editing in the cloud or on-prem. LiveTouch X supports all common replay functionality, including variable speed playback, shuttle, trim, page, bank, slot and playlist creation.

EDIUS is a robust high-speed video editing solution used by broadcast facilities and news agencies, government institutions, corporate productions, independent filmmakers, video creators and video enthusiasts. The latest version, EDIUS 11, comes with new features to make editing more efficient and expressive, and works with Grass Valley’s Chorus Hub 11 Server system to enable group collaboration of EDIUS projects. It is available in a variety of configurations, including EDIUS 11 Pro Education and EDIUS 11 Workgroup.

Grass Valley will be showcasing all of these solutions on stand 4P660 at ISE 2025, February 4th-7th, at the Fira Barcelona Gran Via.
