EcoDigital, Haivision, Mark Roberts Motion Control (MRMC) and Vitec Groups Vinten and Autoscript join the five existing companies already part of the GVTA.

Since its launch a year ago, the Grass Valley Technology Alliance has seen significant interest and positive industry acceptance, and we are proud of the dynamic range of companies that the program brings together. As broadcast media companies strive to deliver the captivating content and high production values that consumers demand, we give our customers access to trusted solutions that are tested and configured to meet the demands of mission-critical production environments, said Tim Shoulders, president of Grass Valley.
