The new GTX-21 IP 4K remote production truck will include a suite of Grass Valley solutions as F&F builds its most advanced IP production vehicle to date.
MONTREAL, CANADA - March 25, 2025 - Grass Valley and F&F Productions have announced an expansion of their partnership that will see a suite of Grass Valley solutions deployed on F&F's latest 2110 IP 4K remote production truck, the GTX-21. The new GTX-21 (A, B and C Units) follows on from the GTX-20 as F&F's second 2110 IP truck and will feature cutting-edge Grass Valley technology including a Kayenne Switcher, GV Orbit orchestration platform, GV Routing, and KIP-X240 Multiviewers. Grass Valley is also supplying a large Cisco IP Spine and Leaf Core as part of the build.
F&F Productions is a leading provider of high definition and 4K remote production facilities for premier sporting and entertainment events across North America. Its signature GTX series fleet has delivered live network coverage for major events such as the Super Bowl, U.S. Open Tennis, the World Series, Stanley Cup Finals, NCAA Men's Final Four, The Masters, The Kentucky Derby, and NASCAR.
The two companies have a long-standing relationship, with Grass Valley solutions forming a core part of F&F's existing mobile units. That relationship was expanded for the build of the GTX-20, F&F's first 2110 IP truck, laying the ground for the current collaboration taking place on the GTX-21, which will be the most advanced 2110 IP production vehicle on the market.
Grass Valley has been an integral partner in helping us build our next-generation mobile units, says Marc Orgera, President of F&F Productions. To realize our ambition in building the most advanced, state-of-the-art vehicle possible, we required a total 2110 IP solution using the most advanced technology, something that we know and trust that Grass Valley will always deliver. Their comprehensive suite of IP solutions, combined with their deep industry knowledge, support, and our existing work together made them the ideal choice to power the GTX-21.
In particular, Orgera believes the advancements in Grass Valley's IP router technology will have significant benefits for F&F's operations as it grows. The IP router technology is really advanced and can comfortably accommodate the increased bandwidth and engineering needs of our growing infrastructure. We have a great relationship with Grass Valley, and our continued partnership will be very important as we collaborate on ways to make the router more user-friendly and efficient.
The GTX-21 is being designed to produce the largest sports and entertainment shows across North America. The deal was finalized in December 2024 with the GTX-21 A, B, and C Units now in the build phase. Grass Valley's engineers are working together with F&F's team on delivering the new truck, with expected completion later this year.
Designing and building world class OB vans is uniquely challenging as they are rolling production facilities, but the GTX-21 brings the added complexity of being fully 2110 IP enabled, explains Alex Keighley, Grass Valley's Senior VP of Sales for North America. Grass Valley has also worked with Cisco on supplying the large Cisco IP Spine and Leaf Core.
Our team of engineers have a great relationship with F&F's Director of Engineering Don Adydan and his team, and we are working closely together on the GV product design and build of materials to meet all F&F's requirements, including the large Cisco IP Spine and Leaf Core. We're looking forward to delivering what will be the most advanced remote production vehicle in the North American market.
The deal is further evidence of Grass Valley's market leadership as a specialist partner in live production innovation, and strengthens its position both in the North American market and as a leader in the delivery of fully integrated, scalable, and future-proof 2110 IP solutions.
Grass Valley is demonstrating how the GV Media Universe is leading the media revolution at NAB Show 2025, April 6-9, in a new location in the North Hall, Booth N506
