IMAGING BEYOND
IMAGINATION

No other camera has the “look” of an LDK camera. And no other live

production camera has the pedigree of an LDK camera.

Grass Valley™ LDK camera systems are the world’s leading high-end

acquisition systems with a history of more than 50 years of innovative

developments and the recipient of six Emmy® Awards. A tribute to our

design and engineering excellence.

For over half a century, Grass Valley cameras have captured the world’s highest-

profile, most prestigious events all over the world. The reason is simple:

The unique LDK look. Picture quality that is unmatched by any other camera.

LDK cameras are designed with the absolute highest-quality mechanical,

electrical, and signal processing systems. We developed our own proprietary

imagers—the Emmy Award-winning HD-DPM+™ sensor and the all new Xensium

imager—the most critical part of any camera, to give you the format and

image flexibility that you need and expect.

We invite you to discover why LDK camera systems are the first and only

choice for high-end acquisition.

LDK INNOVATION

QUALITY YOU CAN RELY ON.HANDCRAFTED EXCELLENCE.

At Grass Valley, we have a history of technological

design and engineering which has changed how the

industry acquires images.

Each LDK camera is expertly and painstakingly

assembled by hand—a process unheard of in today’s

mechanized world—in a facility that has been responsible

for the development of some of the most important

camera and optical revolutions used in almost every

broadcast camera in the world today.

From imager development to optical front-end assembly

and calibration in a special clean room environment,

Grass Valley guarantees full quality control of all camera

systems with absolute attention to ergonomic excellence.

In addition to extensive and rigorous quality and

reliability testing during development, all critical

components are selected on an individual, one-on-one

basis and carefully matched to each other for each

camera during the assembly process.

At final assembly, full camera system specifications

are verified for the entire camera system: the camera

head, adapter back, base station, viewfinder, and

operational control panel (OCP), all working together to

insure that you are getting the best camera in the world.

Finally, the full camera system is subjected to a

24 hour burn-in with extensive heat testing at 45°C

(113°F) and vibration tests.

TECHNOLOGY FOR TODAY & TOMORROW.

Our unique 9.2 million pixel FT CCD imagers in combination with our 14-bit A/D converters and 34 bits of

digital signal processing (DSP) power offers outstanding image quality combined with extremely high levels of

production flexibility, giving you the LDK look demanded the world over.

Elite signal processing gives you the most convenient operational features:

Switchable matrix positions• for the best possible

flexibility in camera matching to other LDK cameras

or any camera system on the market, regardless of

limited resolution of other cameras.

Multi-vector secondary color corrector• which enables

precise color rendition of up to six corrections per

scene, which can be stored and recalled as needed.

Grass Valley’s Emmy Award-winning • Dual Skin Tone, for

the best possible look of any talent in front of the camera.

optics, shooting through mirrors, or upside down camera

mounting systems, without introducing any latency or

having to use any additional equipment.
