GRASS VALLEY

Grass Valley is a world leader in broadcast technology, from cameras through to playout; our innovations have been recognized with 18 Emmy® Awards and over 350 issued patents. Across product lines, we have pioneered industry trends, including the move from tubes to CCD sensors, and now to broadcast quality CMOS imagers. In camera transmission systems, Grass Valley has evolved broadcast connectivity to ensure that the industry has triax and fibre solutions that are both rugged and reliable. Our introduction of the first broadcast video servers in 1995 and our development of complete end-to-end file-based workflows for news, live, and studio production and playout proves our commitment to the industry. From our invention of EMEM for production switchers in 1974, to our routing switchers which broke the 100m barrier for 3G HD SDI, and our innovations today in playout graphics and branding, Grass Valley has set new expectations that have moved the entire industry forward. Grass Valley is paving the way to the solutions of tomorrow that will surely change the world’s approach to production. Finally, our commitment to remain at the forefront of technology extends to our next generation hardware platform, which is being designed to be standards and format agnostic. Using the latest IT technologies and fast IP packet transport and switching, Grass Valley’s future products will offer modular and software upgradeable platforms to support any production format.
