Wasabi has been validated with Grass Valley’s Framelight X. Framelight X, powered by the AMPP platform, streamlines content creation and distribution, eliminates redundant workflows, and maximizes asset utilization to enhance productivity and efficiency.
Requirements
A Grassvalley AMPP account •
An active Wasabi account.
Framelight X configuration
Configuring Internal Stores
Internal Stores are typically configured during the onboarding process. The internal stores are as follows:
Project Store | Stores editor timelines and other artifacts |
File Store | Stores a variety of asset-related files (PNGs, WAVs, PDFs, etc). It can also be used to store high-resolution media. |
Proxy Store | Stores low-resolution proxy media |
Still Store | Stores poster images, single-frame images, and other asset-related still images. |
Waveform Store | Stores audio waveform and metering data |
Each store can be configured to use Wasabi Storage.
When an account is first commissioned, these stores will have no configuration in place. Logging into Framelight X in this state will prompt the user with a warning that storage needs to be configured. Once configured here, the setting will propagate to each individual internal store over the next few minutes. To configure Internal Stores, follow the steps below.
Log in to the Framelight X application. Click Admin.

Note: This configuration example uses Wasabi’s us-central-1 storage region. To use another Wasabi storage region, use the appropriate Service URL for Wasabi’s Storage Regions where your bucket is located.
A dialog box is displayed asking for confirmation of the S3 configuration. Click Save.
Once configured, internal stores can be viewed in the Admin tab under Locations, then Stores. Internal stores have a type of “Internal” and a site of “AMPP”.
Note: Internal stores cannot be reconfigured from the UI once the first configuration is applied. Consult the Grass Valley service if it needs to be done.
Configuring External Stores
Under normal circumstances, high-resolution media is stored in external storage. These may be on-premises storage devices, such as a NAS, or cloud storage services like Wasabi. To configure external stores, follow the instructions below.
In the Admin tool, navigate to Locations, then Stores. Click the Add button to create a new store,
In the Add Store dialog box, provide the following details. Click Save.
Name - name for the External store
Type - select S3 from the dropdown
Service URL - Service URL of the region where the bucket is located
Base Path - base path should be in the form or s3://<bucket>/<prefix>
Access Key - Wasabi Access Key
Secret Key - Wasabi Secret Key
Note: This configuration example uses Wasabi's us-east-2 storage region. To use another Wasabi storage region, use the appropriate Service URL for the region where your bucket is located.
The new Wasabi store will be created. This store can now be used to import and export media to/from Framelight X.
The stores can be used in different workloads like S3 Monitor, S3 Trigger and Proxy Generation.
