Bexel took delivery of 30 Grass Valley LDX cameras ahead of World Cup commitments

Grass Valley supplied 30 LDX Première advanced imaging cameras to Bexel, a leading provider of high-end audio and video equipment rentals, production gear and fiber services, for coverage of the recent 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Bexel provides engineered systems and technical support to television production teams and film crews. The company has offices across the United States with representation in São Paulo, Brazil and Mexico City.

“We’ve always trusted Grass Valley, and the image quality the LDX cameras deliver exceeds our expectations,” said Tom Dickinson, chief technology officer at Bexel. “We are very excited to be able to rent our LDX fleet for the coverage of high-profile sporting events such as the 2014 FIFA World Cup.”

Bexel is also providing Kayenne Video Production Center switchers with K-Frame to two US broadcasters for live coverage of events. In all, there are four Kayenne frames with six control panels for a variety of coverage between events. Bexel made these investments as part of its planned expansion into the major global sporting event sector.
