the entire content lifecycle – from creation to distribution and everywhere in
between – while embracing digital architectures that provide financial and operational
benefits.Among the many technologies on display on the Grass Valley stand is the
STRATUS media application framework, which lets users quickly and easily create
programmes and stories in studio and newsroom facilities.

incorporating proxy generation, as well as extending its capabilities beyond
broadcast, into live events and production applications.

extensive new 3D workflow. Whatever the future brings, EDIUS users will always be
able to “edit anything’.

components and connections, and is incredibly efficient, using less than 75 watts of
power for eight outputs.
LDK camera users can work with either triax or fiber (ie. one truck, any venue)
thanks to the 3G Fiber-To-Triax Converter – the final piece in Grass Valley’s
innovative 3G transmission system .
According to Grass Valley, both the Karrera and Kayenne Video Production Center
switchers are the most powerful switchers available for live studio and mobile
