Studio Berlin Adds LDX 135 and LDX 180 Camera Systems from Grass Valley

Grass Valley has expanded its partnership with Studio Berlin, supplying 12 LDX 135 UHD/HDR camera systems and 12 LDX 180 Super 35mm cinematic cameras, including two compact LDX C180 units. The systems were delivered by the end of March and are being integrated into Studio Berlin's existing production setup. The deployment was handled in collaboration with Grass Valley channel partner Logic Media Solutions GmbH.

Studio Berlin is a television and media production service provider based in Berlin-Adlershof, delivering studio, OB, and post-production services for broadcasters, streaming platforms, and production companies. The company has used Grass Valley camera technology for decades.

The new systems can be mixed on a single production, sharing XCUs, viewfinders, shading, and accessories across LDX 135 and LDX 180 units. The deployment also includes HPE-300 hybrid power supplies supporting Layer 2/Layer 3 connectivity with SMPTE 2110 and optional JPEG XS directly from camera heads.

We wanted to extend our production capabilities with a new generation of cameras that support cinematic live workflows while staying aligned with our existing setup, says Matthias Alexandru, CTO, Studio Berlin. The combination of LDX 135 and LDX 180 systems gives us ultimate flexibility in upgrading to a cinematic live production environment without changing how our teams operate day to day. The connectivity flexibility of Grass Valley's cameras to work in traditional XCU environments as well as our distributed studio campus camera network (DirectIP) or natively in SMPTE 2110, and the ability to switch between these in a matter of seconds without any additional hardware, makes these cameras an essential part of our production environment.

Production teams are looking for more flexibility from their camera systems, without adding complexity to established workflows, says Adam Marshall, CPO, Grass Valley. The LDX platform allows customers to extend into cinematic production while maintaining a consistent operating model, which is a key requirement as production demands continue to evolve.

This investment supports how we plan to develop our production offering through enhanced cinematic storytelling, says Nick Zimmermann, CEO, Studio Berlin. It gives us the flexibility to take on a wider range of projects while building on a platform our teams already know and trust. That continuity is important for both efficiency and future growth.
