Live Production

Cameras

Grass Valley's new LDX XtremeSpeed 6X ultra slow-motion camera - one of four recent additions to its LDX range - is an easily integrated, high-speed live production camera based on Grass Valley's proprietary Xensium-FT CMOS imager, which delivers superb picture quality, high sensitivity and high dynamic range for a wide variety of production applications.

The LDX WorldCam multiformat camera system will also be demonstrated in conjunction with the Copperhead 3404K camera-mountable transceiver. The Copperhead 3404K requires only two strands of fiber optic cable to carry all bi-directional signals, including four 3Gb/s HD/SDI paths, from camera to truck or control room.

Replay

The added advantage of Grass Valley's LDX cameras is that they operate in tandem with the company's K2 Dyno Replay System (consisting of the K2 Dyno S Replay Controller and K2 Summit 3G Production Client), which provide ultra-smooth playback at any speed from 0 percent to 200 percent, dramatically expanding replay storytelling options. Market-leading GV STRATUS Nonlinear Media Production Tools will also be key components of Grass Valley's BroadcastAsia 2014 replay solution demo.

Router/Multiviewer/Switcher

GV Director is an integrated nonlinear live production center that vastly simplifies live production switching while offering far more in terms of producing and delivering creative live content across multiple distribution platforms.

Grass Valley's NVISION 8500 Hybrid router, combines resilience with cost, space and power efficiencies due to integrated audio processing, and simplified cable management that takes advantage of high-density cabling, direct fiber connectivity and audio concentrators.

News Production

News/Editing

The GV STRATUS media workflow platform will underpin a demonstration of EDIUS 7 multi-format nonlinear editing software, the world's fastest real-time editing system for mixed-format content on the same timeline. EDIUS 7 provides the ideal finishing tool for broadcast news, newsmagazine content and studio programs, as well as corporate, documentary and theatrical productions.
