Grass Valley and Cisco Demonstrate Remote IP Workflow Live At NAB 2015

MONTREAL, April 12, 2015 Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, and Cisco are collaborating on broadcasts new IP future with a live demonstration of Grass Valleys remote IP production workflow, leveraging SMPTE 2022-6, at the 2015 NAB Show in Las Vegas.

The demonstration illustrates an interoperable workflow, from Cisco's booth to Grass Valley's live production booth, managed by Grass Valley's new GV Convergent SDN (software-defined network) solution. This workflow shows broadcasters how scalable, programmable and advanced IP technologies can be deployed for live production with minimal delay and no dropped packets and shows the growing interoperability between suppliers.

Its exciting to see Grass Valley and Cisco demonstrate the glass-to-glass live production signal chain on and between our NAB booths, said Chuck Meyer, chief technology officer, production, Grass Valley. When two market leaders collaborate to implement highly integrated solutions up and down the signal chain, our industry can be confident the transition to IP is a reality for the entire media ecosystem.

From the Cisco booth, the new Grass Valley LDX 86 WorldCam camera with XCU HD/4K XF IP base station will send a 3G SMPTE 2022-6 signal through two Cisco switches across a 10 GigE link between the North and South Halls. Grass Valleys NVISION 8500 IP Gateway router and Kaleido multiviewer will also be at the Cisco booth with access to sources, including cameras, from the Grass Valley booth. Multiple Cisco Nexus 7000 and 3000 Series switches will be leveraged in the Grass Valley booth, both live in the engine room and in the theater area.

Being able to demonstrate a remote IP workflow from the show floor validates IP technology can be deployed for live production, and that interoperability between suppliers is growing significantly, said Pradeep Kathail, chief software architect, Cisco Software Group. We look forward to showing broadcasters the value of IP at both the Grass Valley and Cisco booths.

Meyer and Kathail will also conduct a joint presentation entitled Deterministic IP Networks for Live Video Production and Next Generation Broadcast Video with IP on Tuesday, April 14, 10:00 11:00 a.m. in the Connected World Theater. This presentation will discuss the replacement of SDI routing with software-defined networking control systems deterministic Quality of Service (QoS), security and seamless switching between IP sources.

To see the live demonstration of Grass Valleys remote IP production leveraging SMPTE 2022-6, visit either Grass Valley booth SL206 or Ciscos booth in the North Hall, #N802, at the 2015 NAB Show.
