In the mid-1990s, an event as significant as the invention of videotape occurred: the introduction of the digital, disk-based video server, and the launch of the Profile^® digital video server by the Grass Valley Group. Two years later, the company received an Emmy award for the product - its fourth from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS).

Much like songs on a compact disc, the Profile server captures and stores high-resolution digital video that can be called up at any time in any order without waiting for rewind or fast forward. Today, the Profile server is the market leader worldwide, with two times as many servers installed as its nearest competitor - and there is more digital content stored on Profile servers than any other.

This leadership continues with the introduction and immediate widespread market acceptance of the next-generation Profile XP Media Platform, the only solution worldwide to support both the high-quality video standards required for broadcast television and low-resolution video required for the Internet - all in one platform. For that reason, the Profile XP Media Platform family has a double-digit growth rate and is poised to succeed in new, merging, high-growth, video-content-driven markets.
