MONTREAL–Euro Media Group (EMG) has selected Grass Valley’s LDX 86 4K HDR RF camera heads for its sports and live events coverage worldwide. The cameras will form part of EMG’s upgraded, RF high-speed wireless solution.

According to Grass, the camera heads are the industry’s only wireless, shoulder-mounted 4K RF head, offering EMG a single solution for transmitting HD, 4K and HiSpeed HD over the same link while covering sporting events such as international road cycling and marathons in UHD.
