CAMERAS
Whether you're looking for a high-performance but cost-effective camera for a small studio or live event application, or want the best 4K HDR image capture technology, Grass Valley has a camera to suit your needs.
LDX 90 Series: A number of different camera systems that provide the best possible result for a chosen range of requirements. The cameras can be flexibly integrated into any baseband or IP infrastructure using the fully IP based XF Fiber transmission system and the unique XCU camera base stations with cradle concept. Typical applications include news studios, smaller live studios, regional broadcasters, SNG vans, university sports productions, stages and houses of worship.
LDX100 Series: A software upgradeable camera platform with native 4K UHD image capture with global shutter in all operating modes as well as HDR and WCG support with more than 15 stops of dynamic range. In addition to using the XCU camera base stations, these cameras also support NativeIP operation with a direct connection to IP infrastructures, whereby both uncompressed SMPTE 2110 streams and JPEG XS compression can be selected. Whether HD in single speed today, 3G with up to 6x super slow motion tomorrow or 4K UHD with up to 3x super slow motion in the future, you are equipped for all your production requirements.
PRODUCTION SWITCHERS
Grass Valley switchers can be found almost anywhere: Live sports stadiums and broadcast trucks, remote production sites, broadcast studios, corporate studios, churches and universities. These switchers power some of the most watched media content around the world.
From compact switchers that fit in a fly pack, to microservices-based solutions with software GUI and button controls, to the largest number of I/Os and M/Es available, Grass Valley offers a wide range of solutions. The various control surfaces such as Kayenne, Karrera, Korona and Maverik control the versatile K-Frame series video processing engines or alternative microservices based on prem or cloud processing applications to meet users' preferences.
LIVETOUCH X
The SaaS-based replay solution for AMPP covers all live video production needs.
The integrated nature of GV AMPP allows multiple operators to intuitively select multiple recording and playback channels and perform highlight editing in the cloud or on-premises, seamlessly accessing other operators' playlists and clips, resulting in a highly efficient distributed playback solution .
All features can be accessed either via a touchscreen, keyboard and mouse, or through third-party devices such as Contour Design's ShuttleProV2 or Grass Valley's LiveTouch control panel. This choice of operation allows everyone, regardless of their location, to optimally adapt the working environment to the application.
GV ORBIT
GV Orbit is a single, consolidated, overarching configuration, control and monitoring package specifically designed for the dynamic orchestration of broadcast media networks, whether they be SDI, hybrid or pure IP. Its underlying architecture, however, is targeted at open standards-based IP systems with many features and functions specifically crafted to make IP easy.
Dynamic Orchestration is GV Orbit’s core strength that differentiates it from competitive systems. The ability to build, configure and change systems on-the-fly, whether it’s adding/removing devices or simply changing a name, is hugely powerful. In today’s cost-conscious world, fast and efficient deployment and re-purposing of systems for alternative scenarios or productions is a key requirement.
