Grass Valley XCUWC Base Station for LDX86 Camera

Grass Valley XCUWC Base Station for LDX86 Camera

The XCU Universe XF 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 members of the XCU range of camera base stations and share the same unique cradle concept with the 3G XCUs that are available for the LDX 82 Series of cameras. The future-ready cradle concept supports the broadcast requirements of today and tomorrow.
