Grass Valley is bringing a comprehensive line up of live production solutions to IBC2025, including a brand-new addition to the LDX 100 Series camera range.
Following the successful debut of the flagship large-imager LDX 180 at NAB earlier this year, Grass Valley will unveil the new LDX C180 compact version on its stand in Amsterdam (9.A01). Engineered for Steadicam and PTZ freedom, the LDX C180 brings a cinematic edge to live production, helping creators captivate audiences with more dramatic stories.
“The LDX C180 is a game changer for productions looking to blend cinematic artistry with the immediacy of live coverage,” said Paul de Bresser, product manager for cameras at Grass Valley. “Maintaining all of the purpose-built features of the flagship LDX 180, the LDX C180’s form-factor allows creative teams to capture moments with a new level of drama, intimacy and impact.”
Featuring the same in-house-developed 10K Super 35 Xenios imager as its full-sized sibling LDX 180, the new compact offering captures true cinematic depth-of-field while being purpose-built for the fast-paced realities of live production environments. while delivering native UHD output with unparalleled visual richness.
Grass Valley will also unveil innovations across the full LDX 100 Series. The LDX 110 Series gains a new UHD/HDR option, while every model in the LDX 100 Series now supports RF and 5G solutions through partner Vislink, respectively enabling cable-less roaming and direct low-latency contribution into AMPP OS. A new ND filter configuration gives shaders precise 1 F-stop exposure control for flawless HDR and SDR results under all conditions. An optional Optical Low-Pass Filter minimises interference from the likes of coarse LED walls while preserving detail, contrast and vibrancy, allowing customers to invest in cutting-edge imaging today and upgrade their wider facilities at their own pace.
Also being showcased is a new 12G-SDI XCU Cradle for installations requiring dedicated 12G outputs instead of hybrid/IP. Together, these updates mark a major leap forward in camera performance and workflow flexibility.
