XF Transmission Family
Fiber Base Stations and Camera Adapter for SDI/IP for 4K UHD and High-Speed Applications
XF Transmission consists of the XCU UXF/XF Fiber base stations and the LDX XF Universe camera adapter, offering a future-ready transmission system which supports the large bandwidth required by LDX 86 and LDX 86N high-speed and 4K-capable cameras without any compromises, with SDI and IP using BNC and SFP+ XCU Universe. The rack-mounted UXF cradle is fully compatible with the 3G transmission XCUs, which makes all UXF, XF and XCU chassis easily removable, and permits converting any normal speed camera position into a highspeed camera position in just minutes.
