Grass Valley to bring GVMU innovations at IBC 2025
Grass Valley will be bringing the full power of the Grass Valley Media Universe (GVMU) to IBC 2025 with major new innovations that cover every stage of the media production workflow. Alongside its GV Alliance partners, the company will demonstrate the end-to-end solutions empowering media organisations around the world, setting the pace for industry transformation.
The company will welcome visitors to its familiar Hall 9 home (booth 9.A01) to share the success stories behind its organic growth, including strong year-over-year gains in bookings and revenue across its product portfolio. This momentum is driven by Grass Valley's commitment to innovation, the rapid adoption of its AMPP ecosystem (with bookings up over 120% YoY), and the continued success of core products like the newly updated Karerra and K-Frame VXP production switchers, and the refreshed LDX-100 series camera range including the new LDX 180 Super 35 system camera. All of these solutions will be showcased in Amsterdam, as part of the broader GV Media Universe ecosystem.
'Our organic growth story, underpinned by true innovation with the GVMU and AMPP ecosystems, is setting the pace for industry transformation as media businesses transition to new and more sustainable ways of operating,' said Grass Valley's Chief Executive Officer, Jon Wilson. 'Our next-generation innovations are powering a new era of agile, sustainable, and cost-effective production and distribution capabilities for organizations globally to transform their operations. Alongside our Alliance partners we're looking forward to sharing these success stories, and our major new developments, from our IBC 2025 booth.'
Fresh from its launch at NAB Show in April, the landmark LDX 180 camera will make its European debut in Amsterdam. Boasting an in-house-developed 10K Super 35 Xenios imager, the new camera combines true cinematic depth-of-field with the speed and precision required for live production, giving media companies the ability to completely redefine storytelling with native UHD output in better quality. Grass Valley will also preview a brand‑new addition to the LDX portfolio exclusively at IBC 2025.
Also on display will be the K-Frame VXP production switcher and Karerra V2 control panels, which debuted at IBC 2024 and are now available for shipping. The agile, virtualised systems are designed for production teams working in space-and budget-conscious environments and have quickly become the trusted foundation for hybrid and software-based operations, transforming the way many forward-thinking companies work.
'We're not here to choose sides; whether your operation is grounded in hardware, cloud, or hybrid workflows, Grass Valley has a-la-carte solutions that fit,' added Chief Product Officer, Adam Marshall. 'Our newest networking solutions reflect this approach by combining high‑density FPGA processing with the flexibility of virtualization and software-defined workflows across hybrid compute platforms—all managed through a single control layer. The goal is to give customers full control and flexibility, so they can decide how, where, and when to deploy their infrastructure.'
Debuting at IBC 2025, this new networking portfolio seamlessly connects traditional SDI and IP workflows, whether used as a high-density gateway or as a bridge to the AMPP GRID fabric. It delivers better scalability, density, and efficiency for virtualised workflows. By bridging hardware and virtualised environments, these solutions give media organizations the flexibility to simplify infrastructure and optimize resources—on their own terms.
GVMU's ability to orchestrate the entire production chain, from first cue to final cut, will be demonstrated by major new developments in integrated replay and end-to-end production automation. Alongside upgrades to LiveTouch X replay system and the Framelight X ingest and content management platform, Grass Valley will showcase how the core capabilities of AMPP OS are providing tightly integrated workflows that reduce effort, increase flexibility and deliver measurable efficiency. The company will also showcase its instantly deployable Playout and FAST offerings that provide media organisations with the tools to launch, adapt and scale with ease. These solutions are developed in close collaboration with key GV Alliance partners, with new partnership announcements to be revealed in the lead-up to the show.
'We're introducing, enhancing, and scaling solutions across the entire GVMU ecosystem,' continued Wilson, 'and we're doing so with a steady, global rhythm that reflects our commitment to empowering customers with the tools they need to navigate the accelerating pace of operational change.'
Those solutions and the drive for technology transformation across the industry will be major discussion points at this year's GV Forum, which takes place on Thursday, September 11 at the Rosarium, Amstelpark. Wilson will lead insight from the company's leadership team with strategic industry perspectives and updates on the latest innovations in software-defined technology.

South Korea to adapt Kuwaiti animation IP in deal with MBVISION Studios
The partnership also includes plans to bring Korean characters to Arab audiences, fostering two-way collaboration in animation, gaming and immersive experiences. MBVISION Studios, Kuwait's first independent animation studio, has signed a series of significant Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with top South Korean content companies, under the patronage of the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA). The agreements, concluded during the K-Content Expo in Riyadh, represent Kuwait's first-ever international export of original animation intellectual property, with South Korean partners set to adapt homegrown Kuwaiti characters for both regional and global audiences. A central element of the collaboration is an IP exchange deal with Seoul-based Character Inc., paving the way for co-production, licensing and the adaptation of Kuwaiti animation properties across South Korea and the broader international market. This strategic alliance marks a new chapter in cross-cultural content creation between the Gulf and East Asia. Manal Al-Gharabally, Founder and CEO of MBVISION, said the deal is the result of more than a decade of creative development and relationship-building with Korean partners. She described the move as a shift from service-based projects to a deeper form of cultural exchange, where original Kuwaiti characters are set to find new life in Korean media and beyond. The collaboration will also see the introduction of Korean characters to Arab audiences, strengthening two-way engagement in animation, gaming and immersive media. Backed by South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and KOCCA, the initiative underscores a growing global interest in Gulf-originated intellectual property and storytelling.
