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.”
Drama at the Speed of Live
Making its debut at NAB Show is the new LDX 180 camera which features the new Super35 Xenios imager that delivers stunning cinematic depth-of-field, with enhanced definition and vibrancy.
Featuring all of the hallmarks of the LDX Series, including Creative Grading, ensuring artistic control across the lineup, the LDX 180 blends cinematic depth with the speed and precision of live production to redefine how stories are told. The full LDX Series will be on display, including the new LDX 110 with RF for wireless production, and the new LDX 135 with 5G, offering direct AMPP contribution without ingest conversion.
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.
In addition, the Grass Valley leadership team will be taking part in the GV Forum 2025 at the Renaissance Hotel Las Vegas on Saturday April 5 from 8am.

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.
