HD Wireless
c a m e r a sys t e m
With its compact design, integrated
battery mount, and bi-directional digital
transmission, the wireless system not
only frees you from carrying additional
equipment, it eliminates adverse effects
from multipath reflections—all while
providing excellent hd picture quality.
Grass Valley production and acquisition
™
solutions include one of the broadest
selections of standard and high-definition
(SD and HD) digital video cameras. With
one of the best known imaging design
teams in the world and six technical
Emmy ® Awards, Grass Valley camera
products continue to break ground for
innovation and creative ideas.
The Grass Valley HD wireless camera
system combines our unrivalled
experience in broadcast cameras with
the latest in IT technologies. The result
is a solution that gives you complete
freedom of movement under the most
demanding production conditions.
With its compact design, integrated
battery mount, and bi-directional digital
transmission, the wireless system not
only frees you from carrying additional
equipment, it eliminates adverse effects
from multi-path reflections and lets you
pass through doors, make low-angle
shots, and choose the most suitable
camera handling position—all while
providing excellent HD picture quality.

Docking to HD LDK camera heads, the
wireless system supports 1080i50/60,
720p50/60, and 1080PsF25/29.97
acquisition while using an innovative
approach both to compression and
transmission. For compression, it uses
state-of-the-art JPEG 2000 technology
with a 10-bit, end-to-end signal. You
can even use intra-field or proprietary-
wavelets, spatio-temporal compression.
What's more, there is no MPEG-style
group of pictures nor motion estimation
or compensation. Consequently, every
frame is of the same high quality and
available for post processing and editing.
For transmission, this bi-directional
wireless system provides genuine
genlock and full camera control in the
same way as a triax cable system.
Coupled with a high-bit-rate enhanced
COFDM physical layer, the system
features low latency, letting you integrate
wireless shots into your production with
imperceptible video-to-audio delay. To
fulfill specific requirements in different
environments, it lets you balance
• Coverage area up to 150 meters (400
meters with booster)
• Three-antenna diversity system for
transmission reliability
• Omni-directional antenna system for
maximum flexibility
• Low-latency performance and
genuine end-to-end studio genlock
features
• Easy integration with standard triax
cameras in studio and outdoor
environments

between the robustness of its wireless
transmission, picture quality, and low
latency.
The wireless system also features a
three-antenna diversity set. This receiving
unit, when suitably placed, provides a
line-of-sight hooting range of up to 150
meters (480 ft.) Adding a second antenna
set can extend the coverage area, letting
you move, for example, from a stadium
to a dressing room; the system switches
automatically and seamlessly between
the two antenna sets.
The connection between a base station
and the wireless system's antenna set
uses conventional triax cable, enabling
you to locate an antenna up to 600m
(1,970 ft.) from the base station using
11 mm cable.
The wireless system is also fully
compatible with studio production
facilities, the Grass Valley C2IP camera
control system, and utilizes the same
operational control panels as other LDK
series cameras using the C2IP system.
• Choice of transmission profiles to
fulfill specific production needs
• Supports C2IP control systems and
OCP 400/MCP 400 control panels
• Dockable with LDK HD camera heads
• On-screen display of RF video and
data transmission frequencies
• Support of roaming when using two
antenna sets for increased coverage
• Powerful "Wireless Insight" system
