IBC 2026: Grass Valley to Demonstrate Integrated Live Production Environment

Grass Valley will demonstrate an integrated live production environment at IBC2026 (Booth 9.A01, RAI Amsterdam, September 11-14), combining K-Frame, Maverik X, LiveTouch X, and AMPP applications across switching, replay, audio, commentary, and communications.

Live production does not leave room for hesitation, says Greg Huttie, VP of Live Production Solutions, Grass Valley. Operators need immediate control, predictable performance and the confidence to make decisions in the moment. At IBC, we are showing how K-Frame continues to provide that trusted live core, while extending its reach across software-based production, replay, venues and distributed teams.

K-Frame and Maverik X

K-Frame will be demonstrated with expanded UltraMatch format conversion, additional programmable outputs, and integration with Daktronics LED mapping for broadcast and in-venue displays. Integration with CUEZ Automate adds automation for planned sequences while operators retain editorial control. K-Frame control panels now extend into AMPP, allowing operators to use familiar surfaces with Maverik X, which also supports Maverik modular panels, Korona, Stream Deck, and Skaarhoj surfaces.

New Maverik X capabilities include luma keying, WYSIWYG DVE control, and timeline sequence automation for opening sequences, transitions, and recurring production elements.

Software production should expand what a production team can do, not force it to relearn how to work, says Jonathan Lyth, Product Director for Live Applications and Enterprise Media, Grass Valley. By extending familiar control into AMPP and making the user experience customizable, we can reduce technical complexity and give each operator the controls they need for the production in front of them.

Replay, Audio, and Distributed Production

LiveTouch X updates include multi-camera angle selection and switching during highlights, expanded audio monitoring, faster navigation, and direct integration with Grass Valley's triple-speed LDX cameras. Production Replay X brings replay, clip playback, and highlight creation into AMPP for hybrid and distributed productions.

Calrec ImPulseV brings broadcast audio control into the AMPP environment. Zoom ISOcloud brings remote participants into AMPP as individual production sources, with NDI, MXMZ, and Flowics providing additional connectivity and graphics integration.

New applications include AMPP Commentator, a browser-based tool for commentary from venues or remote locations, with program video and audio monitoring and broadcast-quality audio return into AMPP; Audio Cart for playout of music, stings, and audience effects; and AMPP Intercom, announced at NAB 2026, for production communications across facilities and remote locations.

Enterprise and Broadcast AV

Event Producer X provides a production environment for corporate events and town halls with configurable operator interfaces. Framelight X connects live output with media management, browser-based editing, review, and distribution. LayerCake provides infrastructure and AMPP resources for each production, while Slide Relay integrates PowerPoint presentation control.

Hybrid production is not about choosing hardware or software, says Lyth. It is about bringing the right resources together for each production and making them simple for people to operate. That is how AMPP helps customers unify media operations while putting the principles of the Dynamic Media Facility into practice today.
