Flexible, Scalable, Cloud-first Playout Solution

Playout X is a broadcast-grade solution for schedule-driven playout, building on Grass Valley’s rich heritage of playout and automation — relied on by thousands of channels around the globe to deliver their content every day. Playout X is built on the GV AMPP Platform, enabling flexible deployment of playout channels to meet the modern challenges of diverse media delivery and consumption.

The key principles of AMPP are the very definition of “edge computing,” taking advantage of massively scalable cloud-native technologies. Using highly efficient microservices architecture and processing techniques, high-density channel deployments can be achieved with a choice of OS — Linux or Windows — for dramatically lowered cost of ownership.

This means Playout X channels can be deployed at scale on-premises, in public or private cloud, or in any combination of these, enabling video processing to be best placed to suit media locality or signal hand-off. With centralized orchestration providing a single “point of truth,” these diversely deployed channel legs can be managed and monitored from anywhere in the world.
