Camera Overview — Grass Valley LDX 150

The Grass Valley LDX 150 is a professional broadcast studio camera built for demanding live production environments. At its core is a 2/3-inch sensor delivering native 4K UHD resolution at 3840 x 2160 pixels, processed through Grass Valley's proprietary image processing pipeline including Creative Grading and DPMUltra. The camera supports an impressive range of frame rates — from 23.976fps all the way up to 180fps — making it capable of both standard broadcast delivery and high-frame-rate slow-motion capture.

Video output is 10-bit, and the camera supports a wide array of color profiles including BT.709, BT.2020, HLG, PQ, and S-Log, giving colorists and broadcast engineers significant flexibility for both SDR and HDR workflows. The LDX 150 uses a B4 lens mount, the industry-standard interface for studio broadcast lenses. Its body is constructed from magnesium alloy and reinforced composite, weighing in at 4.5kg for the camera head alone, and carries a water-resistant rating.

Audio connectivity is handled via 2x XLR inputs on the camera head, while headphone monitoring is available through a base station or CCU. Power is supplied externally via V-mount or Gold-mount solutions. ISO range spans 200 to 3200, and focus is manual only.
