RMC BFM Selects Grass Valley Technologies

RMC BFM has selected Grass Valley’s production switcher and multi viewer technologies to power its transition from SDI/HD to SMPTE ST 2110 IP And UHD workflows.

Set to go live in early January 2026, the project includes a complete overhaul of one of RMC BFM’s primary production galleries. At the core of the new setup is Grass Valley’s K-Frame SXP production switcher (192x92, full 2110/full UHD), integrated with 3-stripe Kayenne control panel and a 1-stripe Kayenne satellite panel for flexible operation. The installation also features seven Kaleido-IP X440 2110 multi viewers.

Moving from the legacy Kahuna and Kaleido-X systems to Grass Valley’s latest-generation K-Frame XP and Kaleido-IP solutions was a natural step for RMC BFM, a longtime Grass Valley customer.

"We needed to transition to UHD without compromise on performance or capacity," said David Grimal, Broadcast CTO at RMC BFM. "The move to IP, based on a Cisco backbone, brought new challenges, but Grass Valley’s solutions gave us confidence to manage this shift effectively. Kaleido-IP was a logical step forward for us."

"Shifting from Kahuna to K-Frame XP is not just a technical upgrade, but also a change in mindset and production capabilities," added Quentin Berthet, Broadcast Infrastructure Manager at RMC BFM. "Grass Valley has been a trusted partner throughout this transition, ensuring interoperability and providing the tools we need to deliver UHD content with reliability and flexibility."
