The new location in the North Hall, booth N506, will offer a refreshing new look and layout to fully demonstrate the integrated GVMU ecosystem that covers every stage of the production workflow, from image capture to delivery. From the power of the AMPP platform to the renowned LDX 100 Series camera fleet, production switchers, and media infrastructure, Grass Valley will be showcasing the full suite of pioneering tools driving the new media revolution.  

Game-Changing Solutions 

“The dawn of a new age of media production is here, and we’re looking forward to meeting with customers and partners at our booth to demonstrate how the GV Media Universe is revolutionizing the production landscape for media companies around the world,” explains Grass Valley President and Chief Operating Officer, Jon Wilson.  

“Our industry is in a pivotal moment with many complex challenges facing media businesses as they transition to a new way of operating while continuing to deliver great stories and drive down technology costs to a more sustainable long-term model. This is where the GVMU is changing the game for organizations of all sizes and we’re excited to share how we’re leading the media revolution at NAB Show this year.” 

At the heart of the GVMU is the AMPP platform: the operating system for media production, bridging hardware and software solutions, and powering high-performance workflows across live production, content management, automation and distribution. Adoption rates for AMPP have skyrocketed, with average usage eclipsing 11 million hours per month. AMPP’s success is the foundation for the company’s wider growth story, having achieved impressive organic growth of more than 25% in 2024, and significant industry recognition through various awards and patents.

We’re proud to be setting the pace for industry transformation and look forward to sharing significant new developments with our partners and customers.”

The new Grass Valley booth will offer a showcase of the full GVMU, with products and solutions covering cameras and live production; networking and processing; news and media workflows; content management and editing; linear and event-based playout; and much more. The booth will also host members of the expanding GV Alliance, which brings together companies from across the media and entertainment industries in an open digital community with the shared goal of simplifying production workflows.

And the show-stopping news doesn’t end there, as NAB Show 2025 will also see the launch of a brand new book from Grass Valley Chairman and CEO, Louis Hernandez Jr. Digital Tsunami explores the massive digital shifts shaping the media and entertainment industry, offering critical insights for businesses navigating this complex and ever-evolving landscape.  

“The world is riding the crest of a digital wave that is transforming every aspect of our lives,” says Hernandez Jr. in prefacing his book, and with its AMPP-powered GVMU, Grass Valley is leading the media revolution enabling media organizations to thrive in this bold new age of media production, distribution, and consumption.

RheinMain University Empowers Students with LiveU’s 5G Technology

In this article, LiveU covers how RheinMain University of Applied Sciences sought to provide media students with practical, real-world experience to prepare them for the evolving production landscape. In partnership with Netorium AG, the university organized the 5G Media Production Hackathon – a project designed for students to explore 5G capabilities beyond campus by implementing cutting-edge 5G solutions in authentic production environments. The university prioritized acquiring industry-standard, future-proof broadcast equipment from established brands that students would likely encounter in their professional careers.

The university selected LiveU’s LU800 field unit as the cornerstone of its mobile production setup. This advanced unit elevates 5G transmissions by bonding up to eight 5G connections simultaneously while delivering premium video quality of up to 4Kp60 10-bit HDR.
Professor Dr. Stephan Böhm from the Department of Telecommunication and Mobile Media emphasized that LiveU’s pioneering technology perfectly matched the hackathon’s needs, allowing new-generation video producers to experience the latest 5G broadcasting solutions firsthand. The easy-to-use yet powerful LU800 quickly became the key tool for students.

Student crews, outfitted with LiveU backpacks, traveled to neighborhood businesses to stream directly to YouTube, creating broadcasts that showcased career opportunities for younger students. Netorium AG, LiveU’s established German partner, delivered comprehensive equipment and technical assistance throughout the initiative. This innovative 5G Media Production Hackathon at RheinMain University successfully trained tomorrow’s media professionals through practical experience with LiveU’s state-of-the-art broadcast solutions, simultaneously preparing them for the evolving production landscape and generating meaningful content for viewers.
