The LDX 135 RF is the latest advancement in camera technology, delivering the same exceptional performance and reliability as its wired counterparts, now with integrated wireless transmission via RF or 5G bonded cellular. Designed to meet the demands of modern broadcast and production environments, this innovative camera offers unmatched flexibility without
sacrificing quality. A key feature of the LDX 135 RF is its ability to deliver high-quality video, audio and the camera control wirelessly, thanks to seamless integration with RF and 5G technology.

This wireless capability enhances mobility and simplifies setup in dynamic settings like live events, sports broadcasts, and remote productions. Developed in collaboration with leading RF system providers, the camera features a robust, EMI-tested mechanical interface that easily accommodates third-party transmission modules. This design eliminates external cables, reducing potential failure points and simplifying overall setup, while also avoiding the complexities typically associated with wireless integration. The RF edition of the LDX 135 is engineered with a shorter housing, creating space for the transmitter kit while maintaining a balanced, stable operation, even when shoulder-mounted. Despite these design changes, the LDX 135 RF maintains its exceptional performance, supporting all single-speed video modes up to UHD with HDR. It also features a global shutter and three Xenios imagers, ensuring outstanding image quality in challenging lighting conditions.

With a high sensitivity of F11 at 2000 lux, the LDX 135 RF excels in low-light environments, capturing detailed, vivid images without the need for extensive lighting. This makes it particularly valuable in live productions where lighting conditions can vary widely. More than just a camera, the LDX 135 RF is a comprehensive solution for modern broadcast and production needs. Its seamless integration with all third-party RF systems and 5G transceivers makes it a versatile choice for any production environment. The optimized rear mechanical interface, developed with top RF manufacturers, further simplifies the integration process. The camera was widely used during major international sporting events this summer, capturing some of the most remarkable images.

In summary, the LDX 135 RF is a forward-thinking camera solution that combines cutting-edge wireless technology with the proven reliability of the LDX series. Ideal for live events, remote productions, and any scenario where flexibility and mobility are essential, the LDX 135 RF is a powerful, future-proof solution ready to meet the challenges of today’s broadcast industry.
