Grass Valley Showcases Scalable, Future-Ready Live Production at FOMEX 2026

Empowering Scalable Live Production for Saudi Arabia's Next Generation of Storytelling

MONTREAL, CANADA - January 20, 2026 - Grass Valley will demonstrate how it is powering scalable, future-ready live production at FOMEX 2026, taking place February 2-4 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Exhibiting at Booth #107, the company will highlight solutions designed to help broadcasters, content creators, and media organizations remove technical barriers and focus on compelling storytelling from image capture to playout.

As Saudi Arabia continues to expand its media, sports, entertainment, and cultural production capabilities under Vision 2030, Grass Valley is supporting organizations that need to scale rapidly while maintaining broadcast-grade reliability. At FOMEX, visitors will see how Grass Valley combines trusted broadcast technology with modern cloud and SaaS workflows to deliver production agility without compromise.

"Our starting point is always listening to our customers, understanding how they want to work today and how they need to evolve tomorrow," said Jon Wilson, Chief Executive Officer at Grass Valley. "Broadcasters and content creators in Saudi Arabia are operating at incredible scale and pace, and they need solutions that adapt to their workflows, not the other way around. Everything we are showing at FOMEX reflects that customer-led approach."

Central to Grass Valley's show presence is the GV Media Universe (GVMU), which brings together best-in-class hardware and the cloud-native AMPP Media Operating System into a single, unified production environment. By seamlessly connecting on-premises, cloud, and hybrid workflows, GVMU enables production pipelines that evolve over time, allowing teams to focus on creativity and storytelling rather than operational complexity.

At FOMEX, Grass Valley will showcase recent product introductions and enhancements designed to support live productions of any size, from daily news and regional sports to religious broadcasts, national celebrations, and large-scale international events. These innovations are built to scale quickly and reliably, supporting both permanent and pop-up production environments.

The open, interoperable design of Grass Valley's AMPP platform gives customers the freedom to integrate third-party tools and design workflows that fit their creative, technical, and operational requirements. This flexibility supports localization and collaboration across diverse production teams.

In addition to its technology showcase, Grass Valley will play an active role in FOMEX 2026's thought leadership program. Louis Hernandez Jr., Founder & CEO of Black Dragon Capital and Chairman of Grass Valley, will participate in a panel titled "The Media Technology Landscape - Mapping Influence and Leading Transformation," sharing perspectives on industry evolution, investment, and innovation shaping the future of media. Jon Wilson, CEO of Grass Valley, will take part in the panel "How Can Media Partnerships Succeed in Creating a Sustainable Economy?", where he will share insights on aligning innovation with long-term value creation and driving sustainable growth across the media ecosystem.

Grass Valley will also be joined at FOMEX by members of the GVx Council, including industry leaders such as Phil Wiser of Paramount, Thomas Gunkel of Skyline Communications, and others. GVx Council members will participate in panels throughout the event, sharing real-world insights and experiences on modern media workflows, interoperability, and the transformation of live production.

Attendees visiting Grass Valley at Booth #107 during FOMEX 2026 will experience how scalable, future-ready live production can support Saudi Arabia's next generation of storytelling, connecting local content with global audiences.
