Grass Valley Announces BroadcastAsia Lineup

Grass Valley is to exhibit its range of live production, news production and playout technologies on Stand 5B3-01 at BroadcastAsia2014, being held at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, June 17-20.

"BroadcastAsia2014 is especially exciting for Grass Valley this year as it's our first as part of the Belden family," said Stephen Wong, Grass Valley's vice president, APAC. "Visitors to our stand will see that our solutions portfolio provides them unparalleled benefits from production through delivery – allowing them to tell better stories, to a wider audience, across many platforms while optimizing their operations using new techniques, such as cloud technology and IP connectivity."

Live Production

Cameras
Grass Valley's new LDX XtremeSpeed 6X ultra slow-motion camera - one of four recent additions to its LDX range - is a high-speed live production camera based on Grass Valley's proprietary Xensium-FT CMOS imager.
The LDX WorldCam multiformat camera system will also be demonstrated in conjunction with the Copperhead 3404K camera-mountable transceiver. The Copperhead 3404K requires two strands of fiber optic cable to carry all bi-directional signals, including four 3Gb/s HD/SDI paths, from camera to truck or control room.

Replay
Grass Valley's LDX cameras also operate in tandem with the company's K2 Dyno Replay System (consisting of the K2 Dyno S Replay Controller and K2 Summit 3G Production Client), which provide playback at any speed from 0 percent to 200 percent, expanding replay storytelling options. GV STRATUS Nonlinear Media Production Tools will also be key components of Grass Valley's BroadcastAsia2014 replay solution demo.

Router/Multiviewer/Switcher
GV Director is an integrated nonlinear live production center that aims to simplify live production switching while offering more in terms of producing and delivering creative live content across multiple distribution platforms.
Grass Valley's NVISION 8500 Hybrid router enables cost, space and power efficiencies due to integrated audio processing, and simplified cable management that takes advantage of high-density cabling, direct fiber connectivity and audio concentrators.

News Production

News/Editing
The GV STRATUS media workflow platform will underpin a demonstration of EDIUS 7 multi-format nonlinear editing software. EDIUS 7 provides a finishing tool for broadcast news, news-magazine content and studio programs, as well as corporate, documentary and theatrical productions.
