Techex joins the Grass Valley Alliance

Techex has joined the Grass Valley Alliance, the programme that brings industry leaders together to deliver practical, fully-functional agile production and distribution solutions for media enterprises. Being part of this alliance brings the tx edge IP gateway and internet contribution solution to everyone on the GV AMPP platform. AMPP provides the unifying infrastructure for a comprehensive set of tools and services that allow media companies to efficiently create and distribute live content where and when they need it.

To simplify deployment for customers, members of the Grass Valley Alliance provide best-in-class integrated solutions that are fully tested and guaranteed to work together. tx edge is trusted the world over by broadcasters and media service providers to deliver streams into, out of and around the cloud with absolute reliability whether for native, transcode-free NDI transport over SRT, or traditional MPEG workflows with RIST.

Chris Merrill, director of strategic marketing at Grass Valley, added “customers are very enthusiastic about the new business models that AMPP enables. When they find out that familiar solutions like tx edge are already able to easily operate in an AMPP-enabled ecosystem, it’s a massive win for everyone. We welcome Techex into the Alliance providing the reliable connectivity and telemetry which is vital to cloud workflows along with the scalability and control needed by large broadcasters.”

“tx edge has already taken hold as an integral part of live broadcast workflows in the cloud,” explains Techex Managing Director Richard Bailey, “so simple and seamless integration with Grass Valley was a clear next step to support the wide range of workflow solutions on AMPP including contribution, live cloud production, asset management, playout, and distribution. Top broadcasters and media providers value the depth of tx edge’s features as well as the cloud workflows AMPP makes possible.”
