GrassValley: Helping Broadcasters and Media Organizations Transition to Flexible and Scalable Infrastructures
As consumers take charge of when, where and on what device they engage with media, broadcasters and media companies are under pressure to adapt quickly to deliver services on any platform. Traditional broadcast infrastructures do not deliver the agility, scalability and flexibility needed to meet the shifting expectations of a digital generation – while at the same time meeting the needs of consumers who access their content via more traditional linear means. With investments in 4K televisions rising, and smartphones with 4K HDR capability now widely available, consumers demand stunning images on any screen.
Montreal headquartered content and media technology company,Grass Valley is the front runner in empower ing customers with innovative, agile solutions that help them deliver stunning images.

Handling multiple formats without adding complexity or latency to infrastructures and workflows is becoming increasingly important to broadcasters and media companies. Open IP solutions and cloud-based systems deliver a format and resolution agnostic approach that meets current needs and ensures future-ready infrastructures and workflows. Additionally, IP is highly adaptable, making it a long-term solution that can address changing consumer demands. "We believe in an open standards-based approach to IP, leveraging standard commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware that leverages the RandD speed of IT giants to deliver the scalability and flexibility that broadcasters need to
deliver new content services in an agile way," states Timothy Shoulders, President, Grass Valley.
