3.1 Transmission systems
Grass Valley’s latest 3G transmission system is based on digital transmission and a new, robust
power system. The transmission system consists of a dockable camera adapter that fits on
Grass Valley HD camera heads and an XCU (eXchangeable Control Unit) that takes care of
power, signal transport and connection to the studio or OB van.
Two transmission systems are available for the LDX Series camera head: 3G Fiber and
3G Triax. Due to the versatile dockable concept, camera adapters can be exchanged to match
the existing transmission infrastructure.
*) Using 14 mm (0.55 in) Triax cable. Length can be extended with the LDK 4800 Triax Extender.
