MONTREAL, August 2, 2021 - Grass Valley reinforces its deep commitment to providing the media industry with tools for creating the highest quality content by releasing three new SDI/IP production solutions for cameras, switchers, and replay. These top-of-the-line tools not only provide the best images available, they also reduce complexity with a common workflow regardless of the format(s), simple set up for any UHD/3G/HD resolution, and massive I/O scaling for todays multi-layered video world.

These new product introductions benefit from the very latest in IP and 4K UHD technology, ideally suited for live productions. Grass Valleys solutions are behind the biggest live events, including DORNAs coverage of the FIM MotoGP World Championships and Gravity Medias coverage of a major European soccer tournament.

We recognize that our customers are facing a huge demand for premium content like 1080p HDR or 4K UHD, while at the same time trying to manage the complexities of developing that content, says Marco Lopez, general manager of Live Production at Grass Valley Everything we develop at Grass Valley seeks to balance those requirements of enabling the best in live media production while making it simpler and more manageable to create. Grass Valleys SDI, IP and cloud-native portfolio ensures our customers can continue to produce the exciting live content for which they are known.

Grass Valley introduces:

GV K-Frame XP Standard Video Production Center joins the XP Compact in supplying customers a real choice with no compromises. The K-Frame XP gives you complete flexibility to operate in any format, from HD to 4K UHD 2160p, and offers the largest I/O footprint in the industry with 192 x 96 I/Os in IP, SDI or both. The full raster video processing provides a maximum of nine M/Es, each with six keyers, and 16 optional 3D iDPMs for any production. Show files are compatible on all K-Frame engines and of course all Kayenne, Karrera and Korona control surfaces can drive the new XP, which translates into both ease of operation and a look of continuity.
