Grass Valley will demonstrate its Dynamic Media Facility approach at IBC2026, bringing hardware, software-defined applications, existing infrastructure and partner technologies together in a unified production environment. The showcase highlights the growing convergence between traditional broadcast infrastructure and software-based media workflows.
At the centre of the demonstration is native Media eXchange Layer (MXL) support in AMPP, alongside SDI and SMPTE ST 2110. Grass Valley says the combination enables media to move between software applications through a common model while allowing organisations to retain infrastructure already supporting live production.
The hybrid approach combines Grass Valley hardware, including LDX cameras, the Altair router and ACE-3901-GRID MXL gateway, with AMPP OS-based applications. ACE-3901-GRID connects existing SDI and ST 2110 infrastructure with software-defined workflows, while AMPP provides orchestration and scalable compute across on-premises, edge and cloud environments.
The IBC showcase will also demonstrate multi-vendor workflows involving technologies from Calrec, Lawo, Haivision, TVU Networks, Zoom and other partners. The end-to-end environment will cover acquisition, ingest, processing, monitoring, live production, content management and playout, illustrating how dedicated systems and software-defined capabilities can operate alongside one another.
Grass Valley will additionally show reverse REMI production and remote operation of a software-defined OB truck with DMC Production and Broadcast Solutions. The demonstrations form part of the company’s wider focus on the Dynamic Media Facility and how open, hybrid architectures can support evolving production requirements without requiring organisations to replace established infrastructure.
