GV I/O
Live Ingest & Playout Using COTS Hardware with GV STRATUS
GV I/O is a high-performance, cost-effective, COTS (commercial off the shelf) ingest and playout platform tailored for fast-turn production workflows on a 1 RU server, with SMPTE ST 2110 support and up to four SD or HD channels or three UHD channels.
Simplicity — GV I/O from Grass Valley is designed with a streamlined workflow and seamless integration in mind. Built on a COTS ingest and playout platform with an evolving feature set, GV I/O offers integration with IT-based storage via Grass Valley’s AMS range of storage and can play back and record content over traditional SDI, SMPTE ST 2110 and web streams, all on COTS hardware.
