Grass Valley's AMPP is the SaaS live production and distribution platform that empowers today’s media makers to create more content, more efficiently
What is AMPP?
AMPP® is a SaaS platform designed to enable efficient and flexible media production workflows for live content creation, management, and distribution. The technology is designed to provide broadcasters, content creators, and media companies with a powerful, scalable, and secure platform to create and deliver more content to more channels.
AMPP is the future of media production and distribution.
Apps and Solutions
AMPP brings applications from across the entire production chain into a single work environment. Applications include:
Live Producer X
Maverik X
AMPP Edge
How does AMPP work?
AMPP manages a user-defined infrastructure under a common operating environment for workflow applications and solutions. Once the platform is established, applications can be spun up and down as needed. The entire system is managed from a unified user interface to make operation simple and secure.
As illustrated in the diagram, the apps provide operator input for tasks that need accomplished. The AMPP platform turns that input into instructions or policies that the infrastructure carries out.
With AMPP you can...
Work anywhere. Deliver everywhere

CONNECTED SYSTEMS
Existing hardware or software may be integrated with AMPP to maintain familiar user interfaces and provide a gradual migration to AMPP. Some examples include
- K-Frame CS X connects to Kayenne, Karrera and Korona production switcher panels
- Framelight X connects to GV STRATUS and Ignite automation
- GV Orbit provides a single interface for SDI, IP, and cloud network orchestration
EDGE DEVICES
Edge devices provide local processing and gateways for interchanges between physical and virtualized systems.
- AMPP Edge. An on-prem device that provides local I/O as well as compute for AMPP applications
- Third party encoding solutions from Alliance members.
AMPP LOCAL
Host both the data plane and the control plane on-prem in COTS servers.
Like traditional hardware production environments, AMPP Local is only connected to the cloud during initial configuration and for software or license updates. No persistent connection to the cloud is required.
AMPP GRID
A single AMPP system may have multiple hardware or software compute nodes running under a single control plane. AMPP grid technology allows hardware nodes to scale with a high-speed interconnection that keeps the system unified.
AMPP STREAMING SDK
The AMPP Streaming protocol is a peer-to-peer streaming protocol that can automatically traverse firewalls and dramatically reduces deployment and IT overhead.
