Popular programming for the fox
mexico network originates from a new, HD
production facility in mexico city, which includes
numerous Grass Valley file-based production
and distribution equipment and systems.
at the heart of the facility is a totally tapeless
workflow that features 12 LDk 3000 HD
cameras that support in-studio and remote
production. one reason fox mexico
selected the LDk 3000 is that it contains
powerful colorimetry and color-matching
capabilities, including two independent
skin-contour circuits. These circuits allow
an operator to select any two color values
and adjust contour processing in those
areas, allowing dramatic improvement in the
appearance of facial tones.

Sports Network Control. Design, image
quality, reliability, and versatility as well as
its ergonomic design allow easy manipulation
in the studio or in the field. All backed by
the quality we expect from Grass Valley.”
