Gra Valley Launches 4K/XS-HD Camera Replay/Chain at NAB 05

MONTREAL Grass Valley has announced the launch of two new products - the LDX 86 Universe, a LDX 4K/6X HD switchable camera, and the K2 Dyno Universe Replay System. Combining the two enables camera or replay position to be set up for regular HD, 4K or extreme-speed acquisition/replay and requires no additional positions or equipment.

The LDX 86 Universe offers format flexibility, with all formats featuring the same high sensitivity and dynamic range. With Grass Valley's Xensium-FT CMOS, the Universe delivers 4K and extreme-speed picture quality, even in difficult conditions. The Universe can be used in wherever a 1X, 3X or 6X camera is required, providing coverage of multiple camera applications from a single camera.

With the K2 Dyno Universe Replay system, the number of racks and replay operators are the same for 6X HD and 4K workflows for all camera and replay positions. The K2 supports HD up to 6X and 4K operation and offers two sizes, 4RU and 6RU, both fully 6X HD/4K switchable. Each configuration uses the new solid-state shared storage.

To fully support the new 4K system, Grass Valley has developed the XCU XF Universe, a new fiber transmission system, which utilizes the same XCU cradles as its single-speed range of XCU-based stations. The XCU Universe can be easily added to existing cradles in the field to upgrade levels of functionality.

Grass Valley has more additions to its LDX 86 series, including the multiformat LDX 86 WorldCam with HD content in 1080i/720p/1080PsF and 1080p. The camera comes with an upgrade path to 4K and the LDX 86 4K camera with an upgrade path to the LDX Universe.

The Montreal-based Grass Valley will offer demonstrations of the LDX 86 Universe/K2 Dyno Universe combo at the 2015 NAB Show in Las Vegas at booth SL206.
