Grass Valley and Ross Video have announced the integration of the Maverik X Production Switcher into OverDrive.
The collaboration aims to provide enhanced flexibility for broadcasters, expanding the capabilities of Ross Video’s OverDrive to directly control Grass Valley’s AMPP OS (Agile Media Processing Platform) production switcher.
Jeff Moore, Ross Video’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer said, “Automation is no longer just a nice-to-have—it’s essential to producing more with less, and doing it reliably under pressure. We’re pleased to see this integration with Maverik X, further expanding OverDrive’s reach within today’s dynamic, multi-vendor environments.”
Reinforcing both companies’ commitment to enabling open and adaptable production workflows, the interoperability allows users to select the tools that best meet their requirements. Compatible with over 220 third-party devices, OverDrive powers thousands of live production hours every day for broadcasters around the world.
Adam Marshall, chief product officer at Grass Valley commented: “Media organisations today demand the freedom to build systems that match their unique workflows by integrating the best solutions from across the industry. With OverDrive support now available for Maverik X, media organisations can modernise their technology infrastructure while maintaining the familiar OverDrive user experience—minimising disruption for operators while leveraging AMPP’s advanced processing technology for greater agility and flexibility in hybrid deployments.”
“AMPP OS was designed from the ground up as an open platform, built to enable seamless integration with best-in-class solutions across the industry,” Marshall continued. “The growing adoption of the GV Technology Alliance is a testament to this commitment. We’re excited to see industry-leading automation tools like Ross Video’s OverDrive now providing direct control over AMPP OS-based solutions like Maverik X. This deep, bidirectional collaboration underscores our mission to deliver unmatched choice and flexibility for customers.”
