Canada-based Epiphan Video, provider of video capture, streaming and recording solutions, announced it has become a member of the Grass Valley Alliance. Epiphan Connect brings the accessibility of Microsoft Teams to Grass Valley’s Agile Media Processing Platform (AMPP).
With this, it will help live event presenters and broadcasters seamlessly bring in video and audio from remote contributors with the familiarity of the common business application.
Organizations that produce media using Grass Valley solutions, can now easily add Microsoft Teams users in all their forms with Epiphan Connect. This includes being on 5G with mobile, at home on a laptop, or in the Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTRs). Presenters will thus look and sound great when participating in various situations, the company adds. These include news segments, corporate broadcasts and even industry events.
“Epiphan Connect brings the simplicity of Microsoft Teams to Grass Valley users, improving all aspects of hybrid production, without the costs associated with replacing existing infrastructure,” says Nic Milani, VP of marketing and business development.
He adds, “Producers benefit from easily connecting remote contributors to their event, while participants experience the convenience of Microsoft Teams. Epiphan Connect even turns MTRs into mini-studios.”

By leveraging Microsoft Teams, users can thus deftly create polished live, hybrid and on-demand video experiences that serve brands fully.
“Bringing in remote contributors can be very complex, involving custom equipment and additional production staff along with specialized connections. The integration of Epiphan Connect and AMPP eliminates all of that,” says Chris Merrill, director of product marketing for Grass Valley.
He then continues, “Customers can now bring on-camera contributors into their production from anywhere without any special equipment or production knowledge required of the remote contributor.”
