At IBC2025, Russell Johnson from Hitomi Broadcast discusses how MatchBox is expanding into software workflows, offering the same trusted latency and lip-sync measurement previously only available in hardware. As more broadcasters adopt virtualised production, accurate timing remains essential, and Hitomi Broadcast is ensuring those standards are met.

Russell highlights MatchBox’s integration with Grass Valley’s AMPP software suite, describing it as a “broadcasting Lego” where Hitomi Broadcast provides the timing block. This allows engineers to measure latency either side of a process, instantly identify sync issues, and keep multiple channels running smoothly.
