Grass Valley Unveils Transformative Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio at IBC 2025

02/09/2025

New gateway, orchestration, multiviewer and routing solutions along with AMPP integrations from GVMU Partners will be showcased on the company's Hall 9 booth

MONTREAL, CANADA - September 2, 2025 - Grass Valley will showcase the next generation of live production networking and infrastructure solutions at IBC 2025, introducing a comprehensive suite of products designed to give broadcasters and media companies the freedom to evolve on their own terms. From bridging legacy and IP workflows to ensuring resilience across regions, Grass Valley's latest innovations deliver agility, scalability, and operational confidence for the world's most demanding productions.

Networking Reinvented

At the heart of Grass Valley's networking products is the brand new ACE-3901 card, a powerful Software-Defined Agile Compute Engine for the Densit Modular platform. ACE-3901 transforms legacy infrastructure into a modern, hybrid-ready environment. With up to 32 12G-SDI or 64 3G-SDI per card and 400 Gb/s fabric bandwidth, it delivers high density, ultra-low latency signal processing in a compact form factor.

For existing SDI facilities, the ACE-3901 provides an on-ramp to ST2110 with the ACE-3901-IO application with the highest density in the marketplace. The ACE-3901-GRID application goes even further by integrating its high performance FPGA based resources directly into AMPP- augmenting server resources with the ACE-3901 cards, seamlessly blending the best of both worlds, and supporting up to 192 inputs and outputs per 4RU frame to be connected to both single node and multi-node AMPP GRID clusters.

ACE-3901 naturally provides built-in auto-discovery and telemetry through the GV Orbit orchestration platform to ensure faster, smarter, and more resilient routing decisions.

We have an exciting story to tell around our networking solutions at IBC this year, explains Lee Buchanan, VP Networking, Grass Valley. ACE-3901 is the winning card that breaks the constraints of your existing facility, allowing you to work seamlessly across SDI, IP or AMPP environments and realize the growth ambitions of your productions. With our networking portfolio, we're demonstrating that media companies don't have to abandon what they have today to unlock new levels of storytelling prowess.

Also making its debut in Amsterdam is the MV-1200-RTR, a 6RU modular native 12G-SDI router that doubles as a multiviewer. Scalable up to 160 160 I/O, it provides native UHD routing with built-in multiviewer engines driving up to 16 displays and 512 PiPs per screen. With frame synchronization, MADI audio options, and direct connect hardware control panels, it delivers the power of a large router in a small, efficient chassis, ideal for OB trucks, regional studios, esports arenas, and education facilities.

Smarter Hybrid Workflows

As part of the continuing expansion of the AMPP ecosystem, Grass Valley is introducing two powerful new capabilities that give customers even greater elasticity, flexibility, and cost control in their productions.

AMPP HUB is a new enhancement to the AMPP control plane that keeps workflows fast and resilient. Distributed solutions typically require control messages to be routed via the cloud, introducing unnecessary control latency, but with the addition of AMPP HUB, those messages are handled locally whenever possible. This reduces latency, saves bandwidth, and ensures operations remain responsive even if cloud connectivity is unexpectedly interrupted. The result is production operations that feel as immediate and reliable as you'd expect for an on-site solution, with all the elasticity of AMPP behind them.

For the most demanding productions, AMPP Multi-Region Resilience extends that power with active redundancy across regions. Continuous state mirroring and policy-driven failover provide confidence that operations will continue seamlessly, even in the face of regional outages or planned maintenance. Productions stay live, protected, and ready, no matter what happens in the background.

Together, these new capabilities strengthen AMPP as the most advanced, software-defined production platform in the industry, giving customers the agility to produce anywhere with unmatched elasticity and efficiency.

In addition, Grass Valley is introducing the Kaleido-IP X Professional multiviewer, powered by AMPP, built for the toughest live production and remote workflows. With scalable multi-node workflows enabled by AMPP GRID, Kaleido-IP X Professional combines advanced layout customization with real-time signal probing for black video, freeze, and audio loss, giving teams absolute confidence that every feed is under control. Operators can view all major SDI, ST 2110, and compressed IP sources together in one flexible canvas, eliminating the need for separate systems.

Kaleido-IP X Professional delivers the freedom to design any layout, and the intelligence to catch every issue, giving operators total confidence while making monitoring faster and easier than ever, Buchanan adds.

A New Era of Networking at IBC 2025

Grass Valley will also welcome its latest GVMU Alliance Partners to its booth in Amsterdam, three of whom will showcase new network and orchestration integrations with AMPP.

Skyline Communications will demonstrate how its xOPs Platform orchestrates AMPP and over 800 other applications while scheduling online and offline resources and monitoring the entire production chain empowering AMPP as the core to an end-to-end solution, enabling complex productions to be spun up and down with production needs.

Layercake will showcase its templated orchestration and scheduling of Grass Valley AMPP solutions, third-party apps and compute, through its Streamcake solution allowing customers to easily and cost effectively adopt cloud-based remote production and distribution.
