Grass Valley will showcase the next generation of live production networking and infrastructure solutions at IBC 2025, introducing a comprehensive suite of products designed to give broadcasters and media companies the freedom to evolve on their own terms. From bridging legacy and IP workflows to ensuring resilience across regions, Grass Valley’s latest innovations deliver agility, scalability, and operational confidence for the world’s most demanding productions.

Networking Reinvented

At the heart of Grass Valley’s networking products is the brand new ACE-3901 card, a powerful Software-Defined Agile Compute Engine for the Densité Modular platform. ACE-3901 transforms legacy infrastructure into a modern, hybrid-ready environment. With up to 32× 12G-SDI or 64× 3G-SDI per card and 400 Gb/s fabric bandwidth, it delivers high density, ultra-low latency signal processing in a compact form factor.

For existing SDI facilities, the ACE-3901 provides an on-ramp to ST2110 with the ACE-3901-IO application with the highest density in the marketplace. The ACE-3901-GRID application goes even further by integrating its high performance FPGA based resources directly into AMPP– augmenting server resources with the ACE-3901 cards, seamlessly blending the best of both worlds, and supporting up to 192 inputs and outputs per 4RU frame to be connected to both single node and multi-node AMPP GRID clusters.

ACE-3901 naturally provides built-in auto-discovery and telemetry through the GV Orbit orchestration platform to ensure faster, smarter, and more resilient routing decisions.

A New Era of Networking at IBC 2025

Grass Valley will also welcome its latest GVMU Alliance Partners to its booth in Amsterdam, three of whom will showcase new network and orchestration integrations with AMPP.

Skyline Communications will demonstrate how its xOPs Platform orchestrates AMPP and over 800 other applications while scheduling online and offline resources and monitoring the entire production chain – empowering AMPP as the core to an end-to-end solution, enabling complex productions to be spun up and down with production needs.

Layercake will showcase its templated orchestration and scheduling of Grass Valley AMPP solutions, third-party apps and compute, through its Streamcake solution – allowing customers to easily and cost effectively adopt cloud-based remote production and distribution.

Finally, TSL will be on the stand with TSL AMPP Portal, GVO Tally, and TSL control panels. TSL solutions can provide extended protocol integrations between AMPP and legacy third party products and hardware, helping to further simplify customer adoption and migration to AMPP and software-defined workflows.

“Our expanded portfolio integrated with strategic alliance partners proves that modernization doesn’t have to mean starting over,” says Lee Buchanan, VP Networking, Grass Valley. “With gateways that protect existing investments, orchestration that makes hybrid workflows seamless, multiviewers that simplify monitoring, and routers that save space without compromise, Grass Valley and our Alliance Partners are delivering the tools broadcasters need to accelerate storytelling while staying resilient and cost-effective.”

Grass Valley invites you to experience the full networking and infrastructure lineup in action at Booth 9.A01, Hall 9, at IBC 2025.
