Story Highlights

Grass Valley production tech is going to Greece in a big way, housed in that country's first fully equipped 4K UHD production truck. Owned by Live Productions and operated by Greece-based View Master Events, the truck features a full 12G UHD HDR signal chain centered on 12 Grass Valley LDX 98 cameras.

VME's goal is to build a production platform that positions it as a leader in the Greek and broader regional markets. Grass Valley's LDX 98 cameras provide the image quality and operational versatility required for today's demanding live-production environments, says View Master Events CEO John Zarganis. Whether covering sports, cultural events, or major international broadcasts, these cameras deliver consistent performance across multiple formats and frame rates.

For the Greek production market, View Master Events is using Grass Valley LDX 98 cameras, which support native 4K UHD capture with HDR and wide color gamut.

The truck has already been successfully deployed for a variety of live productions in Greece and internationally, establishing a new standard for mobile live production in the region. View Master Events, a highly experienced production company, manages the truck's operations, delivering complex live broadcasts with a focus on quality, flexibility, and efficiency.

From an engineering standpoint, integrating Grass Valley's LDX 98 system has been transformative. The seamless 12G workflows and robust HDR capabilities give us the technical confidence to take on any project, says View Master Events Technical Director John Protopsaltis, adding, The cameras' adaptability simplifies setup and operation under tight production timelines, which is crucial in a live-outside-broadcast environment.

The LDX 98 cameras support native 4K UHD capture with high dynamic range and wide-color-gamut compliance with ITU-R BT.2020 standards. Their ability to operate across 1.5G, 3G, and 12G workflows, combined with 3X and 6X super-slow-motion options and simultaneous live and high-speed outputs, allows the production team to adapt quickly to varying broadcast requirements. This flexibility reduces operational complexity and increases productivity while maintaining premium image quality.

The system was designed and integrated by Telmaco SA, Grass Valley's trusted partner in Greece for more than 25 years. Telmaco provided the camera package and integration services, working closely with View Master Events to create a scalable, modern remote-production platform.

This represents the first brand-new 4K-camera package deployed in Greece and is a landmark for the broadcast industry in the region, notes Telmaco COO Drossos Kyriazis. We are proud to support View Master Events and Live Productions with our combined expertise and Grass Valley's world-class technology.

With the truck now fully operational, Live Productions and View Master Events are preparing for upcoming national and international events and exploring potential future expansions of their Grass Valley equipment across their remote-production fleet.
