2.1 Typical setup

A camera head with an LDK 5417 Triax adapter is connected to a LDK 4417 Base Station using a Triax cable. The maximum length of cable that can be used without significant degradation of the video signal is 600m (2,000 ft.) for a 14 mm Triax cable when no prompter is used (see specifications for other values). The power supply is applied to the Base Station and via the Triax cable to the camera.

2.2 Connecting a control panel

An OCP 400/10 operational control panel can be connected to the Base Station using an serial (RS-422) link. Refer to the user’s guides of your camera and the OCP 400/10 for more information about the functions that are available.

Powering the control panel

The recommend method to power the OCP 400/10 is to use a remote control cable mentioned in chapter

1. 4 . The control panel is powered by the Base Station via the remote control cable.

It is also possible to use an external power supply. The Grassvalley LDK 5903/00 external power supply can provide for up to five operational control panels. In this case, any standard RS-422 cable can be used to connect to the Base Station.

3.1 Powering the camera

The power supply for the camera and Digital Triax adapter is supplied via the triax cable from the Base Station. The power on indicator (6) lights when power is supplied and the camera power switch is On.

An output power socket supplies +48 Vdc, 50W maximum for a converter (LDK 5930 or LDK

5940) to supply power for a teleprompter. Refer to chapter

3.2 Selecting monitoring signals

Viewfinder display signal

The viewfinder can display local or external video signals. The viewfinder display signal selection switch (8) determines the signal that is displayed in the viewfinder.

Set the first switch to LOC to display the local camera Y signal in the viewfinder. (The Ret. button on the lens also selects this signal in parallel with this switch.) If set to the other position, then the second switch determines the signal displayed in the viewfinder.

The second switch selects the signal displayed in the viewfinder when the viewfinder signal selection switch is not in the LOC position. The signal then displayed is:

– EXT 1 BS external input 1

– EXT 2 BS external input 2.

Video output signal selection

Two BNC connectors on the rear of the adapter carry viewfinder or external signals. To select the output signal for these connectors use the top switch located underneath them (the bottom switch is used for the audio microphone).

Figure 0-5. Video output switch and associated connectors

The video output signal selection switch shown above is a three-position switch which determines the output video signal on the two video output connectors as shown in the following table:

3.3 Audio

A high quality audio channel is available. Set the gain levels (-22 dB to -64 dB) for this channel in the Audio section of the Install menu. A high-pass filter for the channel can also be switched on via this menu.

The microphone for channel 1 is connected either to the socket at the front-right of the camera or to the Mic 1 socket on the triax adapter. A 3-position switch (5) activates the socket at the front-right or the connector at the rear. The third position selects the rear socket with a phantom power supply (+48V). The front microphone socket always has a phantom power supply (+48V).

3.4 Intercom

The production (PROD) intercom channel is sent from the Base Station to the camera operator's headset. The camera operator's intercom microphone signal is sent to the Base Station.

The Intercom section of the Install menu contains various settings for these channels. Signals for left and right headset muffs and sidetone levels can be selected. Intercom microphone amplification levels, phantom power supply and microphone on/off switches are also available in this menu.

Additional controls can be found on the back of the adapter.

Intercom microphone routing switch

This 3-position switch (1) routes the camera operator's intercom microphone signal to production (Prod) or turns off the intercom. The third (momentary) position also routes the intercom signal to production but operates only as long as it is held in place.

6.2 Installation of Base Station in rack

The Base Station is fitted in a 19"rack:

1. Either alone or with an accessory of dimension 1/2 19" (vectorscope, oscilloscope, etc.) using the assembly kit for Base Station in 19" racks, part number LDK

5108.

2. Or two Base Stations side by side using kit part number LDK 5107.

Installation of a Base Station with a 1/2 19" accessory

Equipment and tools required:

• Rack installation kit part number LDK 5108 containing various accessories,

• A screwdriver.

The SC/H phase alignment of the composite output signal is adjusted using the «SC/H» thumbwheel.

Adjustment of the front porch of the composite signal is made using the «FRONT PORCH» thumbwheel.

Equipment without external reference (free mode)

The «H COARSE» and «H FINE» thumbwheels are inactive. The output composite signal SC/H phase alignment is adjusted using the «SC/H»

thumbwheel. The output composite signal front porch duration is adjusted using the «FRONT PORCH»

thumbwheel.

10.4 Adaptation of BS to external on-air signal controls from the studio

The «ON AIR 1» and «ON AIR 2» main and secondary studio commands received by the Base Station may be of two different forms:

• A DC voltage of between + 5 Volts and + 48 Volts.

• A closed loop (contact).

Adaptation is made in the «SOUND/AUX» board of the Base Station.

Depending on the type of signal from the mixer, set selector switches S800 and S801 (ON AIR

1) and S900 and S901 (ON AIR 2) to the positions indicated in the figure.

11 DC/DC converters

These converters, which are available as an option, are attached to the camera baseplate. The can be used to supply teleprompters for example. They provide a regulated voltage of 12 V or 24 V (depending on converter type) and a power of 50 W. The maximum power produced by the converter is ensured with a maximum triax length of :

– Type A triax (diameter 9 mm): 90 metres.

– Type B triax (diameter 13 mm): 150 metres.

LDK 5930 is the 12V version; LDK 5940 is the 24V version.

«12V/50W» or «24V/50W» receptacle Regulated voltage output.

The voltage on output 4 of the connector is 12 or 24 V depending on the type of converter. The maximum power produced is 50 Watts.

Note:

The maximum power (50W) produced by the external converter connected on the camera "DC OUT" is ensured with a maximum triaxial cable length.

«DC IN» receptacle Connection of cable connecting the converter to the camera.

Converter supply: The voltage received on this receptacle varies between 30 V DC and 52 V DC depending on:

- The length and type of the triaxial cable

- The power consumed by the converter. The -5 V is used to delay starting of the converter on camera power on to prevent the Channel Control Unit power supply tripping out. If a DC-to-DC converter (even unloaded) is connected to the camera while operating, the safety system will cause the camera to trip out.

The converter must be connected to the camera with camera power off.

11. 1 Installation

To attach the DC/DC convertor to the camera proceed as follows:

• Ensure power is disconnected.

• Attach the LDK6506 fixing plate to the tripod plate using the supplied bolted screws (A).

• To ensure the converter’s thermal isolation from the tripod attach the screws in the exact following order:



1. Tighten screw (B).

2. Tighten two screws (C).

• Connect the cable from the DC IN input of the converter to the DC OUT output of the camera. This cable is supplied with the converter.

• Connect the equipment to be supplied to the "DC OUT 12V/50W" or "DC OUT 24V/ 50W"ouput depending on the converter type used.
