Limecraft unveils Version 2025.5 with key upgrades ahead of IBC
In addition, IBC visitors will be able to preview Limecraft's new AI-powered dubbing feature, integrated into its production workspace to help teams scale multilingual localisation without losing editorial control. Limecraft has announced new additions to the feature set of its cloud-based media and entertainment production and delivery platform. Version 2025.5 will be demonstrated on Limecraft stand at IBC 2025, Amsterdam, 12-15 September. Maarten Verwaest, co-founder and CRO of Limecraft, said: 'Following recent major advances in the platform's production and delivery automation capabilities, update 2025.5 delivers important improvements to accessibility, content sharing and subtitling. It includes game-changing enhancements to our subtitling workflows, allowing subtitlers to benefit from a new character-based method for indicating speaker changes. This new technique automates the insertion of speaker labels, reducing manual corrections to make subtitles more representative and accessible. It complements the platform's existing colour-coded speaker options and is fully customisable in terms of formatting, spacing and positioning. 'This new mechanism greatly reduces the time needed for proofreading and post-editing, especially in long-form content with frequent speaker changes. The result is a faster subtitling process, reduced fatigue for editors and fewer chances for costly mistakes downstream. Combined with Limecraft's advanced speech-to-text engine and subtitle editor, this advance is another step towards fully automatic professional-grade subtitling. 'Content sharing in Limecraft becomes even more seamless. From this release, all shared links use a shortened format that keeps URLs clean, reduces metadata exposure and redirects securely. This improvement is especially valuable in fast-paced production environments involving dozens or hundreds of clips.' Version 2025.5 also includes improvements in terms of accessibility and compliance. With an updated user interface featuring improved contrast and iconography, Limecraft is now easier to navigate for all users, including those with impaired vision. Further to these, visitors to Limecraft's IBC stand will have the opportunity to preview AI-powered dubbing. Fully integrated into Limecraft's existing production workspace, this innovation will enable production teams to scale multilingual localisation without compromising editorial control. Stand 7.D21

Sonnet to demo Thunderbolt 5 storage and expansion innovations at IBC
The lineup demonstrates Sonnet's push to maximise Thunderbolt 5's bandwidth and capabilities across various computing environments. At IBC2025, Sonnet will preview ultra-high-performance Thunderbolt 5 single- and multi-drive NVMe SSD storage devices. The single SSD solution will be a single-port, bus-powered device, while the multi-SSD solution will be a dual-port, self-powered device. Sonnet will show its new Breakaway Box 850 T5 Thunderbolt 5 eGPU for Windows computers. Featuring a dual-port Thunderbolt 5 interface, this product offers double the PCIe bandwidth of any Thunderbolt 3 external GPU chassis to deliver PC-workstation-level graphics performance when used with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 5 Windows laptop and small-form-factor computers. The Sonnet eGPU also includes an integrated Thunderbolt 5 hub, providing a downstream Thunderbolt 5 port, three 10Gbps USB Type A ports, and a 5Gb Ethernet port. Sonnet will display its first next-generation Thunderbolt 5 docking station, Echo 13 Thunderbolt 5 SSD Dock. The Sonnet SSD dock features a choice of Thunderbolt certified PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs from Kingston Technology and includes four Thunderbolt 5 ports, three 10Gbps USB Type A ports, one 5Gbps USB Type A port, one 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) port, one 3.5 mm combo audio port, one SD 4.0 card slot, plus one microSD card slot. Available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB configurations, the new dock exploits Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth to support data transfers of up to 6,000 MBs when used with computers with Thunderbolt 5 ports, and up to 3,400 MB/s when used with computers with Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 ports. Designed specifically for the broadcast and video post production markets, Sonnet will showcase its Echo II DV T5 Desktop and Echo II DV T5 Rackmount at IBC2025, Thunderbolt expansion systems that enable the use of two high-performance, bandwidth-hungry PCIe cards — such as DV I/O, NVMe SSD storage, and multiport 10Gb and 25Gb Ethernet adapters — at maximum performance at the same time. Echo II DV T5 systems are designed to provide full PCIe bandwidth to each slot (up to 6,000 MB/s). Echo II DV T5 Desktop is a full-size desktop chassis, while Echo II DV T5 Rackmount features a rack-mountable 2U enclosure with space for an additional expansion module. At the IBC2025 show, Sonnet will showcase its xMac mini (2024+)/Echo II DV T5 professional rackmount and Thunderbolt to PCIe card expansion systems for Apple Mac mini computers with M4 Pro processors. The Sonnet rackmount system fits in standard 19-inch equipment racks and provides access to the computers' front and back ports. Designed for professional workflow expansion, xMac mini (2024+)/Echo II DV T5 securely holds one or two Mac mini computers plus an Echo II DV T5 Thunderbolt 5 to PCIe card expansion module that adds two card slots to one computer — or one slot to each computer — connecting them via two Thunderbolt cables.

Grass Valley to bring GVMU innovations at IBC 2025
Grass Valley will present the technologies behind its strong organic growth, with significant year-over-year increases in bookings and revenue across its portfolio. 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. Stand 9.A01
