Grass Valley’s LDX C150, winner of a 2024 Product of the Year award, is getting rave reviews from customers, so we asked Klaus Weber, Director of Product Marketing at Grass Valley, to share some details about the camera so that you can be prepared to see it at NAB Show New York.

Tell me about Grass Valley’s LDX C150. What challenges is it intended to solve?

The Grass Valley LDX C150 is a versatile compact camera designed to meet the demands of various applications, such as robotic heads, cable cams, and steadicams, without compromising on format support, image quality, or system connectivity. With up to 6x speed operation, it provides high-speed capabilities ideal for capturing fast-moving action. As the first and only compact camera on the market, the LDX C150 offers the same unique connection options as the full-size models of the LDX 100 series. These options include NativeIP, DirectIP, and direct connection to an XCU camera base station via SMPTE Hybrid fiber cable.

 

What kind of feedback have you heard from customers?

Customers have provided exceptionally positive feedback, praising the unique equipment functions and versatile connection options. Even those who have not yet purchased a Grass Valley camera highly value these features.

 

How do you see LDX C150 fitting into the market?

The LDX C150, along with the LDX C135 for single-speed applications, provides optimal solutions for the growing demand for unmanned camera positions in studio, OB, and remote productions.

 

Will NAB Show New York attendees be able to see a demo of LDX C150 in person?

We will show cameras of the LDX 100 series in the NAB show in New York on the cameras of the Grass Valley booth. Visitors can make their own impression of the extraordinary features and functions, but also the excellent image quality of the camera.
