LDX C135

Global Shutter with Xenios Imager — Compact

The LDX C135 is the compact version of the single-speed LDX 135, offering the same features and functionality as the full size version. It is unique in its ability to provide SDI and NativeIP full SMPTE ST 2110 connectivity straight from this compact camera, with no external conversion. In today’s live production environment, Grass Valley understands the need to adapt on an event-by-event basis. We’re worrying about that so you don’t have to.

The high sensitivity (F11@2000 lux vs F9@2000 lux) of the LDX C135 with its three new Xenios imagers means that you get

  • Wider dynamic range in HDR mode
  • Improved signal-to-noise ratio by reducing gain for cleaner...

FEATURES

  • New camera platform designed for extension into the future
  • Simple, scalable multiformat image capture and distribution
  • Unique feature for a compact camera, supporting NativeIP
  • Supports SMPTE ST 2110 standard as well as AMWA NMOS
  • Up to five JPEG XS encoders may be enabled, reducing bandwidth requirements by 20 times
  • Backward compatible for connectivity using XCU base stations from the UXF series (Enterprise, Universe, Xpress)
  • Fastest time to deploy and configure
  • Extensive operator training not required
  • At-a-glance settings and diagnostics for immediate status recognition
  • Field-tested rugged and reliable
  • Suite of inventory management features
  • Quickly align camera configuration to production requirements for superior cost management
  • Field-replaceable SFP/QSFP
  • Save time by managing camera information and licenses from the LDX Scanner app (using NFC technology) without powering up the camera

GPS Option Perpetual

This unique feature indicates the exact location of the camera as soon as it is connected to the network and Creative Grading system – both graphically on a map and with the coordinates displayed in the Creative Grading App. Ideal for large scale and remote operations. This option is only available as a perpetual option.

UHD Filmic Modes Perpetual

Enables UHD “filmic” acquisition, in broadcast frame rates (25/29.97) and cinema frame rates (23.98/24/60). (For the UHD Filmic option the UHD 50/59.4 Option, 9-0110000105-9, is required.) The UHD Filmic option is also available as a daily option in the B.O.W.L. portal.

JPEG XS Video Compression Perpetual

This high-quality low-latency video compression option creates the compressed video signal in the camera when running in NativeIP, saving external equipment. Extremely beneficial for remote productions to save significant bandwidth. Single-speed HD and UHD signals can be compressed. The JPEG XS compression option is only available as perpetual option.

Any available option can easily be created in the LDX 100 section of the B.O.W.L. web portal against Option Credit Points.

* Not required for LDX C135, which supports UHD 50/59.94 operation as standard
