The LDK 3000 from Grass Valley™is the
latest addition to the renowned LDK
family. This multi-format camera system
offers great flexibility and high picture
quality combined with a favorable cost of
ownership.
With one of the best-known imaging
design teams in the world and multiple
technical Emmy®Awards, Grass Valley
camera products continue to break
ground for innovation and creative ideas.
In many regions of the world, there is
no standard format for HD production.
Others regions have standardized on
different formats depending on the
application. To support these different
needs, we have created a cost-effective
multi-format HD acquisition system that
supports 1080i50/60 and 720p50/60.
The LDK 3000 has three 2/3-inch, 2.4
million pixels CMOS imagers specially
developed for broadcast applications.
Many unique features have been
designed into these imagers such as
DDS—Double Digital Sampling—and dual
integrated A/D converters which create
high-quality, razor-sharp pictures.
Digital signal processing is done with
34-bit precision. This processing includes
all major camera functions such as
gamma, knee, contour, and advanced
selectable color matrix. A full digital
noise reduction system is implemented.
To make images look their best, the
LDK 3000 contains powerful colorimetry
and color-matching capabilities. It also
contains two independent skin-contour
circuits. These circuits allow you to select
any two color values and adjust contour
processing in those areas, thus allowing
improvement in the appearance of facial
tones or of any selected tone.
The LDK 3000 has a magnesium-
alloy body that gives it a high degree
of durability and is ideal for handheld
operation. And with a rotary HD triax
connector and optional integrated
handgrip zoom control, it makes those
difficult low-level shots much easier to
achieve. You can also mount the LDK
3000 in our SuperXpander large lens
adapter to use box-style studio lenses
and a high-quality 7-inch HD black and
white or 8.4-inch color viewfinder.
Transmission of the full bandwidth HD
signal is based on our well proven, highly
robust and reliable triax system. With the
optimized triax system, cable distances
of up to 1200m can be achieved (with
the optional triax repeater this can be
doubled to 2400m). Existing SD triax
infrastructures can be re-used for non-
compromise HD acquisition, eliminating
the need for additional investments in
expensive cabling.
The LDK 3000 is, of course, fully
integrated in the Ethernet-based C2IP
camera control system from Grass Valley
and is compatible with most LDK camera
family accessories.
To meet the needs of smaller and
regional studios and production
facilities who need to shoot high-quality
high-definition (HD) content on a tight
budget, Grass Valley has introduced the
LDK 3000 camera series.
