“Often the best shots are those that a cameraman cannot capture with standard equipment. Especially in our business, we rely on small size and lightweight compact cameras which fit into a size-weight optimized gimbal to capture shots that enhance the program and complement more traditional sideline angles,” said Alexander Brozek, managing director, CAMCAT-Systems GmbH. “Grass Valley’s LDX C86N camera offers the same top performance as large studio camera heads without compromising on quality, with versatile features and upgrades based on our specific needs and the ability to capture high-quality footage that makes viewers at home feel like they are right there on the field.”

With the addition of BT.2020 wide color gamut support and optional HDR support, these cameras provide an outstanding solution for all HD/3G/4K applications.
When it’s time to combine the footage into a cohesive program, the LDX C86N Compact Series is fully compatible with the LDX 82, LDX 86 and LDX 86N Series cameras to match perfectly in color reproduction and wide-gamut acquisition.
