According to Steve Hassan, Senior Director, Playout at Grass Valley,We have re-architected the playout services hosted by AMPP to provide industry leading application density, and reduced end-to-end latency compared with other solutions in the marketplace. This combined with the latest support for Linux operating systems in AMPP, provides Playout X customers reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) through reduced hosting costs without any compromise to functionality.

Built with a cloud-centric microservices architecture on Grass Valleys AMPP Ecosystem, Playout X allows media and entertainment companies to deploy new channels in minutes, such as for live special event coverage, and collapse them again when the event is over, with Software as a Service (SaaS) pricing to ensure you only pay for what you use. Edge compute architecture offered by AMPP provide further flexibility allowing customers to deploy across both on- premises COTs servers in a traditional master control environment and in the cloud on the platform provider of the customers choosing.
