This ensures smoother content ingestion, editing, and distribution.
Global Reach and Flexible Deployment
The partnership will extend the global footprints of both companies, offering clients around the world access to advanced media technologies and expert support. The integrated solutions offered by Grass Valley and Diversified will be capable of running on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments.
