Grass Valley recently showcased its range of 4K/UHD-ready solutions, starting with
the LDX 4K/UHD system camera, based on standard 2/3′ lenses and a new high-
bandwidth digital fiber transmission solution, to capture live events without the
compromises associated with digital cinema optics.
The LDX 4K/UHD system camera is the first 4K/UHD camera on the market that is
developed specifically for sports and large-event live productions. In addition to the
new camera, many existing Grass Valley products are ready to support 4K/UHD
workflows today such as switching, routing, editing, replay, multiviewer and
monitoring technologies. Among the solutions Grass Valley brought to the EMEA
market at IBC were:
• K2 Dyno Replay System with 4K/UHD pan/zoom directly controlled from K2 Dyno
touchscreen application
•Kayenne and Karrera Video Production Centre switchers with K-Frame that are 3G
ready with full 1080p 50/60 support scalable to 4K/UHD
• NVISION 8500 Series routers that deliver frame-accurate 4K/UHD routing and are
central to preparing for the additional bandwidth required by 4K/UHD
production
• EDIUS 7.4 multiformat nonlinear editing software, which can handle 4K/UHD
• Kaleido-Modular-X, a flexible and scalable multiviewer that is natively capable of
handling 4K/UHD quad-link sources and seamlessly recombining them into a pixel-
perfect image
