History[edit]

Grass Valley Group was founded as a research and development company in 1959 by Dr. Donald Hare in the small town of Grass Valley, California, in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada range. Hare chose Grass Valley after learning about it from his friend, Charles Litton, Sr.. In 1964, Grass Valley demonstrated its first video product, a video distribution amplifier in a hotel room at the National Association of Broadcasters convention. By 1968, the Grass Valley Group had introduced its first production switcher, the flagship product that helped build the company's reputation.

The company merged with Tektronix in 1974, and was very successful for the next fifteen years. When Tektronix divested its printing, video and networking divisions it sold the video business to a private investor, Terry Gooding of San Diego, California, who reincorporated it under the name Grass Valley Group, Inc. The sale closed on September 24, 1999.

In 2002, the French electronics giant Thomson Multimedia, now known as Technicolor SA, acquired Grass Valley Group.[1] After coming under the ownership of Thomson, Grass Valley Group was forced to merge its product line with the existing professional and broadcast products of its new parent company.

In 2005, Grass Valley purchased Canopus Corporation, also adopting its video-editing software Edius. During the second half of the 2000s, Grass Valley made and sold the Edius NX video-editing and capture card, which offered special real-time video-restoration capabilities for composite video and especially VHS that had been ported from the ADVC-300, an external capture unit made by Canopus during the first half of the decade. Other than the original ADVC-300 unit that had been compatible with all kinds of capture software and all Microsoft Windows versions from Windows XP up to Windows 10, the Edius NX card only worked with Edius versions 3, 4, 5, 6, and 6.5, which only run on Windows XP. For newer versions of Edius, as of 2017 Grass Valley still offers legacy drivers for the Edius NX card for download on their official site, but provides no guarantee that the card will actually work with the newer versions of Edius.

After the financial crisis of 2008, Thomson defaulted on its financial covenants and was forced by its creditors to divest its Grass Valley business, PRN and other manufacturing entities. On January 29, 2009, Thomson announced that they were putting the Grass Valley division up for sale.[2]

In 2010, the Grass Valley business unit, not including the head-end and transmission businesses, was acquired by private equity firm Francisco Partners and resumed operating as an independent company with offices in San Francisco, California, on January 1, 2011.[3] The company announced in August 2013 it would move its headquarters to Hillsboro, Oregon, later that year to an existing office.[4]

On March 31, 2014, the company was acquired by Belden Inc. from Francisco Partners and merged with Miranda Technologies,[5] which Belden acquired on July 27, 2012.[6] The merged company operates as Grass Valley.

On October 30, 2019, Belden Inc. put Grass Valley up for sale, listing it as a 'discontinued operation' on its books.[7]

On February 4, 2020, Black Dragon Capital signed a definitive agreement with Belden Inc. to acquire Grass Valley.[8] The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2020, following the receipt of regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. More recently, Grass Valley logo is rendered without 'A Belden Brand' byline, marking departure of company from Belden.

WILLIAM B Happy to try to help.I am successfully (and easily) using the Canopus ADVC110 to connect my Sony Hi8mm camcorder to my iMac via firewire. I am using RCA plugs for the audio and S-Video jack for the video transfer from the camcorder. I am not sure this makes any different. This connection is very easy.Once on my iMAC, I am using several software tools in order to cut up the videos into specific events (my 30-60 min tapes typically have many different events that often stretch over months). iMovie imports the entire 8mm tape as one single video which cannot be cut up by iMovie. Therefore, I take the file created by iMovie and export it to a MPEG4 format using MPEG Streamclip. Then I open the .mp4 file with QuickTime and go to Edit, Trim in order to cut the tape into discrete events. I export these as 480p MPEG format files using QuickTime. Then I go back to iMovie and import the clips individually where I can trim them further, add titles, music, etc. This seems complicated - and it is - but it is necessary since iMovie has to render the entire clip you are working with in order to be able to manipulate it. If you try to import 30-60 minutes of footage directly into iMovie, it will take a very long time and the software will not work well. Thus the need for smaller clips. I learned all this from geniuses at Apple Store.Hope this helps,Bill
