Grass Valley Executive Chairman Louis Hernandez Jr. announced the appointment of new CEO Jon Wilson at the company’s Grass Valley Forum event, held during NAB Show.
Wilson has been with Grass Valley since 2023, serving as president and chief operating officer. As Wilson received the key to the Grass Valley Media Universe from Hernandez, he shared his vision for its future: focusing on the customer experience and creating solutions that span the entirety of the company, from AMPP to hardware.
Ian Fletcher, chief technology officer, and Adam Marshall, chief product officer, announced the launch of several products to help Wilson achieve his goal of increasing the company’s connective ecosystem of hardware, software and cloud technology.
Grass Valley’s new LDX 180 camera has a 10K imager, offering a cinematic lens with very little noise. In combination with the wireless LDX 110 RF and the roaming freedom of the LDX 135/150 5G, the 100 camera series seamlessly blends together innovative transmission capabilities through the base station to drive down installation efforts and infrastructure costs.
“With the introduction of the 180 … you have the creative freedom with our 100 Series product form to pick and choose the right camera for any shot, any emotion, across the entire portfolio with the same speed and ease,” Marshall said.
Live production was again emphasized with the smallest production switcher available, the new K-Frame VXP, a 5-rack-unit switcher that includes a 48 x 24 native UHD, IP and SDI I/O in a single form factor.
In line with Grass Valley’s goal of connectivity, the VXP uses the same I/O as the rest of the range of switchers, so users can scale up or down based on production needs.
