Grass Valley LDX 81 4K Ultra High-Definition B4 Mount Camera

Grass Valley LDX 81 4K cameras capture live action in 4K formats (3840x2160p) at a broadcast-friendly 50 and 59.94 Hz with unrivaled quality and flexibility.

The Grass Valley LDX 81 4K camera system simplifies the path to advanced 4K content acquisition, with outstanding image performance, excellent light sensitivity and the ability to use standard HD lenses, while allowing broad­casters and content creators to utilize the same workflows they use for HD while delivering the best 4K viewing experience possible.

They provides the outstanding sensitivity and dynamic range per­formance as all the other members of the LDX series and they fully support all 2/3-inch B4 mount lenses, including the CLASS feature to compensate the chromatic lens errors and by that offering improved image sharpness.
