LDK 3000 HD camera User’s Guide (v1.0) 9

Precautions

To ensure continual high performance from the camera take the following precautions into consideration:

• Avoid damp places. If the environment is wet or damp a rain cover must be used to protect the unit.

• Do not subject the unit to severe shocks or vibration.

• Do not expose the camera to extremes of temperature.

• Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight or close to heating appliances for extended periods.

• Do not allow sunlight to shine into the viewfinder.

• Do not allow laser beams to shine into the lens as this could damage the imagers.

• Avoid extreme highlights as these can cause various kinds of optical reflections.

• Be careful when connecting and disconnecting Triax cables.

– Do not mix units from different types of camera systems (HD with SD, Triax with

digital Triax)

– Do not connect Grass Valley camera systems with other manufacturer’s camera

system parts.

• Make connections swiftly and firmly to avoid false error messages.

10 LDK 3000 HD camera User’s Guide (v1.0)

Triax cable systems

• Only connect a Triax cable from the same LDK camera family to the unit.

• Do not allow system earth currents to exceed 1.5 A in the outer shield of the Triax cable or

0.2 A in other cable shields.

• To avoid excessive earth currents in a Triax system, galvanically separate the power earth connection of equipment connected to the camera from the camera earth.

• It is strictly prohibited to short circuit the inner and outer shields of a Triax cable used to connect a camera to a base station.

Galvanic separation

Because of the nature of Triax systems, with long distances between camera and Base Station, the risk of earth currents flowing is greater. These earth currents can result in damage to the equipment.

For example, a monitor connected directly to the CVBS output of the camera is powered locally. The earthing point of the monitor’s power supply can be at a different potential with respect to the earthing point of the Base Station. If the power earth of the monitor is also the video earth, then this earth potential is transferred to the camera via the shield of the BNC connector. The difference in earth potential between the camera and the Base Station results in an earth current in the Triax system.

To prevent earth currents from flowing in the Triax system, we recommend galvanic separation of earthed equipment connected to the camera. This separation can be achieved by using an isolation transformer between the local power outlet and the equipment connected to the camera. Alternatively, use equipment that has a double insulation and therefore does not require an earth connection.

1.2 Technology

1.2 . 1 CMOS imagers

The camera’s multi-format capability is realized with innovative 2/3-inch, 2.4 million pixel 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. The multi-format HD acquisition system supports both 1080i50/59.94 and 720p50/59.94 formats.

1.2 . 2 Digital processing

The advanced digital processing of the camera is based on on-chip A/D converters and 34-bit accurate internal processing. All major camera functions are processed in the digital domain, including gamma, knee, detail and advanced selectable color matrix. A full digital noise reduction system is implemented.

The intelligent continuous automatics function provides automatic control of black levels and black shading. Each imager provides black reference signals that are used to monitor temperature changes. This means that continuous automatic correction is applied without operator intervention.

To make images look their best, the LDK 3000 contains powerful colorimetry and colormatching capabilities. It also contains two independent skin detail circuits. These circuits allow you to select any two color values and adjust detail processing in those areas, thus allowing improvement in the appearance of facial tones or of any selected tone.

1.2 . 3 Focus assist

With HDTV, focusing is even more critical than before. The LDK 3000 has special patented focusing aids. A unique viewfinder zoom function enlarges the viewfinder image instantly with a simple press-button action, thus providing improved means for focusing.

Additionally, a patented crawler circuitry adds motion in the viewfinder to objects in sharp focus.

1.3 Transmission system

1.3 .1 LDK 5630 TriaxHD Adaptor

TriaxHD, which is a further development of the Emmy Award winning Triax transmission system, makes the camera compatible with industry standard Triax cables. This allows the reuse of existing, reliable and valuable cable inventories.

TriaxHD allows video transmission and remote control of cameras up to a distance of 1,200 m (3,900 ft) and beyond, using industry standard 14 mm (0.55 in) Triax cables. It is based on 30

MHz full-bandwidth 4:2:2 transmission (Y/Cr/Cb components).

The double side band modulation technique used in combination with Y/Cr/Cb transmission ensures linearity, resolution and an optimal signal-to-noise ratio over the maximum cable length. Bandwidth efficient channel combining and equalization techniques minimize cross-talk and interference. Teleprompter and viewfinder signals maintain high performance with relatively long cable lengths.

The communication facilities provide for two-wire or four-wire high quality intercom signals. Full camera control is provided via a C2IP Ethernet-based control network.

The LDK 5630 TriaxHD adaptor is equipped with a rotary Triax connector which provides freedom of movement during portable use of the camera and protects the connector from being damaged in near-floor conditions.

1.3 .2 LDK 4580 TriaxHD Base Station

The TriaxHD Base Station, as well as providing high definition studio outputs, optionally offers simultaneous high quality SD outputs. The Base Station is equipped with a robust power

supply to ensure reliable operation of the connected camera system over long cable runs.

4.3 System Menu

The camera is operated via the viewfinder text display and the control system menu switches. The systems menu is viewed in the viewfinder and navigated by means of the Rotary control and the Select button which are both located at the front of the camera.

Figure 4-1. Menu control buttons

The functions of the camera are grouped into menus and sub-menus. There are seven different menus that are listed in the main menu as follows:

Each of these menus gives you access to a particular group of functions. Spend some time using the controls and menus to discover the various functions. You will quickly learn to operate the camera intuitively.

4.3.1 Entering the System menu

Press the Select button after the camera is switched on, the message Menu off appears in the viewfinder. Press the Select button again while this text is showing, the MAIN menu appears in the viewfinder.

Figure 4-2. Main menu

The MAIN menu screen shows five items. The name of the menu is shown below these. Four more items are hidden but become visible when you scroll down using the Rotary control. A cursor shows your position in the menu. The Rotary control moves the cursor up and down.

4.3.2 Finding your way

Use the Rotary control to move the cursor through the menu items. If a double arrow (>>) is visible, then pressing the Select button brings you one level lower in the menu system. Only five items are visible in each menu. Scroll up or down to see any additional items. When you first enter a menu (other than the MAIN menu) the cursor is positioned next to the first item.

The TOP and PREVIOUS entries are not immediately visible but are located above the first item. Use the Rotary control to scroll up to them.

• Select TOP to bring you back to the MAIN menu.

• Select PREVIOUS to go back to the menu that you were in before the current one. The LENS menu, for example, shows the items displayed when you first enter the menu. The

other items are available by scrolling up or down with the Rotary control.

4.3.3 Leaving the System Menu

If you are deep within the menu structure, the recommended way of leaving the System menu is:

1. If necessary move the cursor to the left column with the Select button.

2. Scroll upwards with the Rotary control until the cursor points to TOP (this is the MAIN

menu).

3. Press the Select button. The cursor now points to the MENU OFF item of the MAIN menu.

4. Press the Select button to leave the System menu.

If you do not use the menu it disappears after a few seconds. (This delay can be programmed in the VF menu.) However, when you press the Select button again you enter the System menu at the last position of the cursor and not at the top of MAIN menu. To prevent confusion the next time you enter the System menu, it is advisable to leave the menu by returning to the MAIN menu (TOP) and selecting MENU OFF.

4.3.4 Making changes

To find out where you have to go to change a function, consult the appendix to discover under which menu group or sub-group the function you want to change is located. If the cursor points to an item (and there are no double arrows to indicate a sub-menu) then the item pointed to has a value. The value can be:

• a toggle value (only two values)

• a list value (more than two values)

• an analog value (variable from 00 to 99)

• unavailable (---).

If the value is unavailable it cannot be changed. This is indicated by three dashes (---). This can occur, for example, when a function is switched off. The analog values associated with that function are then unavailable.

If there are only two values associated with the function, then pressing the Select button toggles between these two values. If a value is displayed next to a function that is one of several possible values, then pressing the Select button places the cursor in a list menu indicating the value currently selected. Use the Rotary control to point to a new value. Press the Select button to return the cursor to the function list.

If an analog value is displayed next to a function name, then pressing the Select button places the cursor in front of the value and the Rotary control is used to change the analog value. Press the Select button to return the cursor to the function list.

4.3.5 Undoing changes

If you make changes to the video settings in the Systems menu and you decide not to keep them, use the Standard button at the side of the camera to recall a standard set of values for the video parameters.

4.8 Managing files

You can have access to 15 different files. The Files menu is used to recall and store these files. There are two types of file:

• scene files

• operator files

A scene file contains values related to the picture performance. The operator file contains values related to the set-up of the camera (viewfinder, lens and installation parameters). The tables in “Menu structure and contents” on page 63 and further indicate the functions that are stored in the scene file and those functions that are stored in an operator file.

4.8.1 Scene files

Four scene files are stored in the camera itself (SCAM1..4). The STANDARD scene file (preselected as either factory or customer defined) is stored in the camera.

☞

Note

☞

Note

The standard customer scene file is stored via the SECURITY menu, not the FILES menu. The decision to use the factory defined file or the customer defined file as the standard file is also made in this menu.

The FILES menu enables the scene files to be stored and recalled using the store and recall entries of the menu system. If the message NOK is displayed, then the old values are restored. If the camera is On Air when a scene file is recalled, then the recalled values do not become active until the camera goes off air.

4.8.2 Operator files

The FILES menu also allows the recall of the operator file stored in the camera (OCAM1..4). These files contain information for setting up the non-video configuration of the camera. A STANDARD operator file (factory or customer defined) is stored in the camera.

☞

Note

☞

Note

The standard customer operator file is stored via the SECURITY menu, not the FILES menu. The decision to use the factory defined file or the customer defined file as the standard file is also made in this menu.

4.8.3 Standard files

The green STD button on the left-front side of the camera recalls the standard scene file. This file contains standard parameters for the picture performance. A standard operator's file can be recalled via the FILES menu. This file contains parameters for the set-up of the camera.

4.8.4 Customer standard files

You can define a customer standard file for the standard scene file and for the standard operator's file. The contents of the customer files for both these standard files is stored via the SECURITY menu. The selection of a factory defined or a customer defined file for use as a standard file is also made in this menu. You can only access the functions of the SECURITY menu with an owner's card or the PIN code of the camera.

4.9 Access and security

4.9.1 User level

The user level function in the SECURITY menu restricts access, in varying degrees, to the operational controls of the camera. You can only access the functions of the SECURITY menu with an owner's card or the PIN code of the camera.

4.9.2 Selecting the user level

There are four user levels: user0, user1, user2 and user3. The purpose of the user levels is to restrict the set of functions which can be changed by whoever is using the camera. In this way a more centralized and uniform control can be achieved and the danger of the camera operator accidentally changing critical functions while shooting is reduced.

User level 0 is a special protection level which locks most of the operational controls of the camera. Use this level to ensure that a camera that has been set-up is not tampered with. User level 0 is not normally used for operational purposes as it is too restrictive for normal circumstances. The recommended minimum user level is 1. For full control set the level to 3. When you switch off the power, the access rights that were obtained by the use of the PIN code are disabled and the camera starts at the assigned user level when switched on again.

4.9.3 Disable camera

The disable camera function is a protection function which prevents unauthorised interference with the camera and provides an additional level of security. Setting disable camera to ON is similar to using User level 0 to protect the settings of the camera.

4.9.4 Access control

The PIN code of the camera can be viewed and changed in the Security menu. The camera's PIN code when it leaves the factory is set to 0000. It is strongly advised that this code be changed by the owner on receipt of the camera. This ensures added protection against unaurthorised access to the Security menu.

Chapter 5 - Video setup

5.2 Video settings

5.2.1 Overview

The means used to control the camera depends on your work methods. A remote Operational Control Panel OCP 400 can be used and a low user level can be selected to restrict the available camera functions. Alternatively, video functions can be controlled on the camera itself. The following functions are available on the camera:

• Standard settings

• Test signals

• Gain selection

• Optical filter selection

• Color temperature and Auto white balance

• Exposure time including Clean scan

• Freeze frame

• Black stretch

• Auto skin detail

Many other video functions such as detail, black, gain, knee, gamma, matrix and white limiter functions are available in the VIDEO menu.

5.2.2 Standard settings

To ensure that some of the camera functions are not set to unusual values, a standard file has been defined that contains the default values for most video functions. The chapter “Menu

structure and contents” on page 63 lists the values that are set when the standard file is

recalled.

To recall the standard values for the various video functions, press the green Standard file button on the left-front side of the camera and hold it for two seconds. The standard values only take effect when the camera is not On Air.

The standard file can be selected as either a factory or a customer standard file. Changing the standard file can only be done in the System security menu if the owner card or the PIN code is used.

5.2.3 Non-standard indicator

The non-standard indicator in the viewfinder (the lights when one of the following conditions occur:

– Exposure time is not set to the nominal value;

– Black stretch is on;

– Extended auto iris is on;

– AWC or FL50/FL60 color temperature is on.

LDK 3000 HD camera User’s Guide (v1.0) 53

Chapter 5 - Video setup

5.3 Test signals

The left-front side panel of the camera has a Color bars switch for switching on a color bar test signal. The color bar is the standard test signal that is used to set up and check the camera before use. When the color bar is selected the following functions are temporarily set to Off:

• Black stretch

• White limiter

• Zebra

• Safe area (VF) and cadre (VF)

The lens iris closes automatically when the color bar is switched on.

5.4 Gain

5.4.1 Gain selection

Depending on the available light level it may be necessary to adjust the gain of the camera. Setting the gain level higher may introduce more noise into the image. The gain is selected via the Gain switch on the left-front side of the camera.

1. When this switch is pressed initially, the current value of the gain in dB is displayed in the viewfinder.

2. Holding the switch in the up or down position for a short moment selects one of the five master gain settings: -, 0, +, ++ and +++.

– The actual value of the gain in dB is assigned to these symbols in the INSTALL menu.

– The Gain indicators in the viewfinder light to indicate the value selected. (The + and

++ indicators light when the gain is +++.)

5.4.2 Variable gain

The gain switch can also be used to vary the gain continuously between its minimum and maximum value.

1. Hold the switch continuously in the up or down position until you see the value in the viewfinder change in steps of 0.1 dB.

2. Release the switch when you reached the value you want. This exits the value selection mode.

3. Using the switch momentarily again sets the gain to the nearest standard value.

Preset Gain

- can be set to -6 or -3 dB

0 is always 0 dB

+ can be set to +3, +6 or +9 dB

++ can be set to +6, +9 or +12 dB

+++ is always +12 dB

Chapter 5 - Video setup

5.4.3 Digital noise reducer

Although the CMOS imagers of the camera have low noise, circumstances may require extra video noise reduction. To do this, a user-definable digital noise reducer is available. In the VF menu, go to the VIDEO menu and select the NOISE REDUCTION item.

Select one the presets 1, 2, 3 or 4 or Off to turn off the noise reducer. Preset 1 produces the lowest noise reduction while preset 4 produces the highest. Try and select the best option for your situation.

☞

Note

☞

Note

High noise reduction may introduce unwanted artifacts in the image.

5.5 Optical filters

A neutral density and an effect filter can be placed in the path of the optical signal to modify the incoming light. The filter is selected via the Filter switch at the top-front of the camera. The filter can be used, for example, to control depth of field or exposure levels.

The camera does not need color optical filters to be able to white balance correctly. The range of the auto-white balance is so wide (from 2500 K to 20000 K) that there is never any need to use color filters to obtain the correct white. Rotate the switch to move the optical filter wheel.

The filter switch has four positions:

☞

Note

☞

Note

Filter position 4 can be programmed to select an ND 1/64 filter or a 4-point star filter. Go to the INSTALL > BUTTONS > FILTER POS4 menu item and select ND 1/64 or Star 4P.

The status of the filter wheel is displayed in the viewfinder for a few seconds. The ND/RE indicator in the viewfinder lights when an ND (Neutral Density) filter is selected.

Optical filter selection using the OCP 400

Selecting the optical filter on the OCP 400 operational control panel is slightly different. Press the FILTERS button to open the Filters menu:

Figure 5-1. Optical filter selection on the OCP 400.

Use the Menu arrow buttons to select a combination of filterwheel position to obtain the desired optical filter:

5.6 Color temperature

For true color reproduction the ambient lighting conditions must be compensated for by selecting a value for the color temperature. The standard file setting is 3200 K (normally used for tungsten and indoor lighting). Two other reference color temperatures are available: 5600 K (for outdoors, clouded conditions) and 7500 K (for outdoors, clear blue skies).

The memory positions (FL50, FL60, AW1 and AW2) are available to store the results of the auto-white measurement process. The memory positions store measured values using the automatic white balance switch at the front. The FL positions are recommended for shooting with fluorescent light.

A continuous automatic white balance position (AWC) is also available. This function continuously measures the white balance and adjusts accordingly. It can be used when a constant color balance is required under changing lighting temperatures (sunsets, indoors/ outdoors use).

In the auto-white positions an electronic color filter can be adjusted in the VIDEO menu. This varies the color balance to obtain warmer or colder color effects. When an automatic white balance process is performed, the electronic color filter is reset to its default value.

5.7.2 Lighting

The exposure selection also includes lighting control positions which can be used when shooting with lighting that is operating at a different frequency to the camera. There are two positions; 50 Hz and 60 Hz. Each of these positions can be varied further in a range from -10 to +10 Hz. To reduce flicker select the frequency closest to the frequency of the lights and then vary the lighting control in the INSTALL menu to obtain the best result.

5.7.3 Clean scan

When shooting computer monitors with higher frame frequencies than the camera’s use the Clean Scan function to avoid horizontal bars in the picture:

1. Press the Clean Scan button at the front of the camera for about two seconds to directly

access the variable exposure (clean scan) function. The

CLEAN SCAN submenu appears in

the viewfinder.

2. Use the Rotary control to change the value and so remove the noise bar.

3. If a more accurate adjustment is required set the CL.SCAN item to EXTENDED. (Set the

mode to

NORMAL if a smear effect occurs.)

4. Set the UNIT item to the preferred read out, Hz or mSec.

When you are finished shooting the monitor press the Clean Scan button for two seconds to switch off the Clean Scan function. The Exposure time returns to its previous non-variable setting.
