Technology
Work Field
The LDX 100 is designed for flexibility, with the ability to be used for both dramatic
productions and live broadcasts, especially sports. The use of compact broadcast 2/3-inch
lenses with a B4-mount gives you the large zoom range, speed and depth of field which is
required for demanding live and many dramatic productions.
Remote production
The LDX 100 is the best choice for At-Home/REMI (REMote Integration) productions. With
the implementation of Grass Valley’s NativeIP transmission, the LDX 100 is the first studio
system camera that is fully IP based. Thanks to NativeIP, the camera connects directly to
your IP infrastructure in studio and OB-production environments. Additionally, the LDX 100
can also operate in an existing XF transmission workflow using the XCU Universe UXF.
