Grass Valley has expanded its product portfolio with the introduction of Playout Xpress. Designed to manage demanding channel requirements, this new solution enables playout operators to adapt to rapidly changing audience trends.
With Playout Xpress, broadcasters and rights holders will be able to originate more content, across more pop-up feeds and social media. The solution is also built to be deployable by the operator within a day, Grass Valley claimed.
Playout Xpress is an onsite, pre-commissioned system that allows the end-user to define their specific requirements. Supporting up to four channels of playout, it provides users with an automation system that can cope with the complex demands of playout at a competitive entry point.
Karl Mehring, Senior Commercial Director, Playout, Grass Valley, commented: “In today’s dynamically shifting media market, customers need to engage with global audiences that can no longer be reached through one or two platforms. Playout is crucial to enabling customers to spin services up and down quickly in the most cost-effective way possible.
“Our portfolio of playout solutions is designed to support everything from high density, enterprise-level applications to cloud-native systems that meet the needs of temporary pop-up channels, and we are excited to launch Playout Xpress to further our offering.”
