Grass Valley has debuted its AMPP Edge Live platform, designed to simplify production capabilities for live events and media production.
Combining Grass Valley hardware with NVIDIA Blackwell GPU acceleration and AMPP OS, the platform aims to provide a flexible, scalable solution for teams that require professional capabilities without the need for significant infrastructure investment, said the company. AMPP Edge Live allows organisations to deploy solutions as they are needed through a software-based platform that evolves to meet changing workflows.
The platform is available in two models, both of which deliver single production environments, enabling the management of workflows that previously required multiple systems and dedicated operators:
- AMPP Edge Live 4000 for live event production provides the performance to run solutions such as Event Producer X, which brings production switching, graphics, audio mixing, recording, streaming, monitoring and production control into a single browser-based interface.
- AMPP Edge Live 6000 adds processing performance for more demanding production requirements and supports Sport Producer X, which combines switching, graphics, scoring, timing, data integration and instant replay for sports production.
Jonathan Lyth, product director for enterprise media at Grass Valley, said, “Production requirements are constantly evolving as audience expectations shift, creating challenges for enterprise organisations whose production infrastructures were not designed for today’s demands. Businesses need production platforms that combine operational agility with the confidence of reliable performance. AMPP Edge Live delivers both, enabling organisations to adapt and scale production capabilities without adding operational complexity.”
The platform is built on a short-depth 4 RU chassis with redundant power and modular AMPP I/O cards enabling connectivity to be tailored to workflow. Forming part of the Grass Valley Media Universe, AMPP Edge Live features enterprise-grade security, centralised management, role-based access and is available now in the L4000 and L6000 appliance models, with SDI 8 and SDI 12 AMPP I/O card options and media storage choices of 2 TB or 4 TB.
