New routing, modular processing, orchestration and monitoring capabilities bridge dedicated hardware and software-based processing as part of the Dynamic Media Facility
At IBC 2026, Grass Valley will showcase infrastructure connecting SDI, SMPTE ST 2110, MXL and software-based processing as one unified operational environment.
Under the theme Connect Everything, Everywhere, Grass Valley will demonstrate how media organizations can modernize existing facilities without replacing the surrounding infrastructure or creating new operational silos. Routing, processing, orchestration and monitoring come together across dedicated hardware and software-defined workflows, supporting unified media operations and Grass Valley's hybrid-by-design approach.
Routing for Modern UHD Production
IBC2026 will provide the first opportunity to see the Altair 12G-SDI router following its initial shipments earlier this year. Designed for small and mid-sized facilities, production hubs, venues and mobile production, Altair combines 12G-SDI routing and multiviewing in a compact 6RU frame, scaling to 160 160 12G-SDI I/O and up to 16 independent multiviewers. Through AMPP Orchestration, it becomes part of the wider infrastructure environment.
Modular Processing Across SDI, IP and MXL
Grass Valley will showcase Densit improved capabilities across XIP-3911 and the newly released ACE-3901 modular infrastructure. XIP-3911-IO improves performance, stability and workflows for hybrid SDI and SMPTE ST 2110, with frame synchronization, precision timing, mixed frame-rate and film-mode support, switching, expanded audio profiles and improved PTP stability.
The newly released ACE-3901 provides two high-density gateway applications with the latest generation processing core, showcasing this next-generation infrastructure at IBC2026 for the first time.
ACE-3901-IO provides SDI to uncompressed SMPTE ST 2110 conversion, supporting up to 64 3G-SDI signals in 32 32 or 32 12G-SDI signals in 16 16 on a single card.
ACE-3901-GRID connects SDI directly with AMPP for MXL-native, software-based production, initially supporting up to 32 3G-SDI GRID gateway signals in a 16 16 configuration per card, with deterministic, low-latency performance.
Recognized with Best of Show awards at IBC2025 and NAB Show 2026, ACE-3901-GRID bridges established infrastructure and the Dynamic Media Facility. Together, ACE-3901-IO and ACE-3901-GRID connect SDI with either SMPTE ST 2110 or MXL workflows.
One Orchestration Layer Across More Signal Types
AMPP Orchestration brings hardware, software and distributed resources into a common operational environment. At IBC2026, Grass Valley will demonstrate orchestration across SDI, SMPTE ST 2110, MXL, AMPP Global Streaming and TVU MediaMesh routing. NMOS newly enables MXL flow discovery and control, while GV Orbit extends orchestration into established infrastructure including Altair, XIP-3911 and ACE-3901.
Scalable Monitoring and Operational Visibility
Kaleido-IP X brings mesh multiviewer capabilities to AMPP, enabling monitoring of any AMPP-supported input, including MXL, through familiar Kaleido workflows. The demonstration combines multi-channel monitoring with Playout X and a new penalty box function and display for feeds requiring attention. Together, Kaleido-IP X and AMPP provide scalable monitoring across facilities, edge locations and software-processing environments through a common multiviewer experience.
Controlled Evolution, Not Forced Replacement
The new capabilities reflect the reality that SDI, ST 2110, MXL, remote connectivity and software-based processing increasingly need to coexist. Grass Valley allows customers to retain infrastructure that delivers value, connect it with new processing and production models, and introduce capabilities as requirements evolve. Altair provides UHD routing and multiviewing; XIP-3911 strengthens hybrid SDI and IP processing; ACE-3901 connects SDI with ST 2110 and MXL; and AMPP brings orchestration and observability across the wider environment.
Together, they put the principles of the Dynamic Media Facility into practice by making hardware and software resources available as one connected infrastructure layer, operated and monitored through a common AMPP experience.
Visitors can experience Grass Valley's Unified Media Operations infrastructure portfolio at Booth 9.A01 during IBC2026, September 11 14, at RAI Amsterdam.
