Haivision Systems Inc. and Grass Valley have announced a partnership that provides media producers with an innovative solution for contributing high-quality, low latency, and synchronized multi-camera SRT video streams into the GV AMPP (Agile Media Processing Platform), the cloud-based technology platform that underlies the GV Media Universe Alliance. To provide customers with a single commercial contact, Grass Valley will resell and integrate Haivision products, including Makito X4 video encoders and decoders and the Haivision Hub video networking service. The award-winning Makito X4 Encoder enables synchronous multi-stream live video contribution to the GV AMPP cloud production platform, while Haivision Hub supports remote management of contribution encoders and video routing over private IP networks, the internet, and the cloud to GV AMPP.

The best-in-class combination of Haivision and Grass Valley technology is a complete solution for broadcast contribution, cloud-based live production, and real-time viewing of video feeds. As more media and entertainment companies turn their attention to harnessing the benefits of cloud and remote production, they can now leverage Haivision's renowned ultra-low latency and high-quality video encoding for SRT stream contribution into the GV AMPP production platform. The Makito X4 Encoder supports 4K UHD and quad-HD inputs as a portable appliance for field deployment or as a blade within a high density 4RU rackmount chassis supporting up to 84 HD or 21 4K inputs.

The Makito X4 Encoder also supports 10-bit 4:2:2 video, HDR and SMPTE 2110 inputs for all IP contribution. Furthermore, Haivision's ultra-low latency Makito X4 Decoder enables broadcast operators to interact dynamically with cloud resources without sacrificing system responsiveness.
