Grass Valley has announced it will showcase the principles of the Dynamic Media Facility (DMF) with a demonstration at IBC2026.
An active supporter of the Joint Taskforce on the Dynamic Media Facility initiative, the company will combine hardware, software-defined applications and existing infrastructure together with partner technologies as a single, unified media operation with native MXL (Media eXchange Layer) at its core.
The demonstration will feature a complete, camera-to-consumer workflow, aiming to showcase the capabilities of Grass Valley’s AMPP platform to continually adopt DMF-aligned standards as they are released, said the company.
The hardware suite, including LDX cameras, Altair router and the ACE-3901-GRID MXL gateway, will blend with AMPP OS-based applications to create an end-to-end workflow. Existing SDI and SMPTE ST 2110 infrastructure will be bridged by ACE-3901-GRID with software-defined workflows while AMPP provides the orchestration, media fabric and scalable compute needed to deploy applications across on-premises, edge and cloud environments, said the company.
The hybrid approach aims to enable organisations to introduce software-defined workflows alongside existing operations, with dedicated systems providing predictability for live production and AMPP-based applications adding flexibility and scalability where needed.
Jon Wilson, CEO of Grass Valley, said, “IBC is our latest opportunity to demonstrate native MXL integration operating across our production portfolio. Visitors will see how infrastructure, live production, content management and playout through AMPP work together with open media exchange across the technologies our customers already use every day. Native MXL support gives software applications a common way to exchange media while preserving the timing, identity and context production workflows depend on.”
