Grass Valley LDX 110 and LDX C110
Category Production
The new LDX 110 and LDX C110 cameras bring the advanced technology of the LDX 100 Series to the entry-level market, setting a new standard for quality and affordability in the media and entertainment industry. Grass Valley introduced these cameras as game-changers for budget-conscious productions. The LDX 110 and its compact counterpart, the LDX C110, are native UHD cameras equipped with cutting-edge features designed for a wide range of applications, including sports, studio, and entertainment productions.
Both models feature the Xenios UHD 2/3-inch CMOS image sensor, renowned for its global shutter technology, which ensures flawless image capture in any operating mode. This sensor, also used in other LDX 100 Series cameras, delivers exceptional image quality. Unlike previous versions of the LDX 100 series, the LDX 110 and C110 use a single imager instead of three, resulting in significant cost savings. This innovation allows Grass Valley to offer the same exceptional quality as the higher-end models at a more accessible price point.
The LDX 110 and LDX C110 support native HDR and WCG (Wide Color Gamut) operation, including PQ, HLG, and S-Log3, with custom LUT processing in the camera head for precise HDR-to-SDR conversion—features that are not available in any other camera system on the market, regardless of price point. A unique feature of the compact LDX C110 is its XCU connectivity,
previously found only in the higher-end LDX C135/C150 models. This addition enhances the camera's versatility in a range of production environments.
The LDX 110 series also introduces NFC functionality and the Grass Valley Scanner app, which provide enhanced option management and diagnostics, simplifying setup and operation. These features, combined with the cameras' robust build and cutting-edge technology, ensure they deliver the best value in the market. In today's fast-evolving media landscape, customers need high-performance HD solutions that not only meet current demands but are also future-proof. The LDX 110 and C110 excel in this regard, offering stunning HD/SDR performance now
and a seamless upgrade path to native UHD/HDR when needed. These cameras are the ideal choice for productions seeking reliability, quality, and cost-effectiveness.
The versatile LDX 110 Series supports video formats ranging from 1080i and 1080p to native UHD, making it a highly adaptable solution for various production needs. Both models are fully compatible with the current XCU UXF camera control stations and all C2IP-based camera control solutions, including Creative Grading and Creative Grading X. Additionally, the LDX 110 integrates smoothly with existing LDX 100 Series camera viewfinders and accessories, ensuring effortless incorporation into established workflows.
The LDX 110 and LDX C110 has been showcased for the first time at IBC 2024, highlighting their unparalleled blend of quality, reliability, and cost-efficiency. With these new models, Grass Valley continues to lead the way in providing innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of the media and entertainment industry.
