MONTREAL, April 8, 2018 Advanced broadcast technology and networking standards are constantly evolving and every content producer is in a different stage of adopting and upgrading its own specific workflows to take advantage of these advances. Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, consistently delivers networking solutions with the flexibility and scalability to meet a wide range of unique user needs. This includes the ability to incorporate HDR, 4K UHD and IP when and as their business models demand.

With the integration of networking solutions from both Grass Valley and SAM in one portfolio, customers now have access to the largest selection as well as unsurpassed innovation and support to expand and upgrade their infrastructure.
