NFC Feature
NFC stands for Near Field Communication which allows the camera to communicate with
an NFC enabled device like a smartphone. For the LDX 100 Series, Grass Valley created the
LDX Scanner, a free of charge application (app) for NFC enabled smartphones, both
Android and IOS.
The LDX Scanner app of the smartphone powers the NFC chip in the camera (also when the
camera is not powered) and enables two functions;
• Reading out status information of the camera
• Add Options/eLicenses to the camera
