LDK 3000+
High-performance and economical multiformat HD camera

The LDK 3000+ from Grass Valley™ is the latest addition to the renowned LDK family. This cost-effective multi-format camera system offers great picture quality and superb flexibility, supporting 1080i50/60 and 720p50/60.

The LDK 3000+ has three 2/3-inch, 2.4 million pixels CMOS imagers specially developed for broadcast applications. Many unique features have been designed into these imagers such as DDS—Double Digital Sampling—and dual integrated A/D converters which create high-quality, razor-sharp pictures.

Powerful colorimetry and color-matching capabilities are included as standard, as well as the new CLASS feature – Chromatic Aberration Sharpness Solution – which automatically corrects lens errors of lenses which contain lens data and supporting lens data exchange protocols (digital lens interface). CLASS also improves the sharpness at the left and right side regions of the image by up to 40%.

For even more creative freedom, a secondary color corrector is incorporated so that users can select specific colors in a scene and modify them as needed to enhance or highlight certain features within a shot.
