Grass Valley UXFWC Base Station for LDX86 Camera
Grass Valley UXFWC Base Station for LDX86 Camera
The XCU Universe UXF base stations have been developed to support the extended bandwidth requirements of LDX 86 Series high-speed cameras with up to 6X speed operation, 4K-capable cameras and 15 F-stops of high dynamic range (HDR) in 1X speed operation. They are the latest members of the XCU range of camera base stations and share the same unique cradle concept with the other XCUs that are available for the LDX 82 Series of cameras. The new backwards compatible UXF cradle with its 4x SFP+ slots supports the broadcast requirements of today and tomorrow. With high bandwidth IP networks becoming more and more available for live productions, the new XF Transmission Direct IP Interface eLicense enables a direct IP interface of the complete transmission protocol between the cameras and XCUs over IP networks.
