Flexible Ethernet Camera Control: Capture More with Less

Live production is expensive. Now you can allocate fewer resources to bigger projects and focus more on creativity.

When you use Grass Valley's C2IP (Camera Control Over IP Network) camera control system, you'll allocate a single engineer to live productions that require multiple cameras, and still capture the magical moments that make good television. With increased production efficiencies and decreased staff expenditures, you'll be able to package more high-value content for new, profitable markets.

Support remote access: With C2IP's expanded capabilities, including a web-based interface and standard IP networking for live and multicamera productions, you'll have Ethernet-based control of up to 99 cameras, and support for all of your digital Grass Valley LDK and LDX Series™ cameras.

Increase efficiencies: When you work with C2IP's master control panel, you'll automate more tasks and dramatically speed up camera setup and reconfiguration, creating efficiencies where you need them most.

Gain comprehensive control: You don't want to sacrifice enhanced capabilities, even if you're short on space. C2IP includes features usually found only in conventional master control panels, and is a great fit for mobile production trucks or studios with space restrictions.

Protect your investments: Protect your equipment investments, improve utilization, and align technology with business goals. Discover Grass Valley's simple, cost-effective Support Agreements »
