Important information

Read these instructions carefully and retain them for future reference.

During installation and operation of this equipment, local building safety and fire protection standards must be observed.

Before connecting the equipment to the power supply of the installation, verify the proper functioning of the protective earth lead.

Whenever it is likely that safe operation is impaired, the apparatus must be made inoperative and secured against any unintended operation. The appropriate servicing authority must then be informed. For example, safety is likely to be impaired if the apparatus fails to perform the intended function or shows visible damage.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

Cautions and Warnings

Read and comply with the warning and caution notices that appear in the manual.

– Warnings indicate danger that requires correct procedures or practices to prevent

death or injury to personnel.

– Cautions indicate procedures or practices that should be followed to prevent damage

or destruction to equipment or property.

Warnings

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. If the unit is in a wet or damp environment, a rain cover must be used to protect it for personal safety reasons (EN60065). The rain cover supplied with the unit protects it according to safety specification EN60529 up to level IPX2 (spraying water).

To avoid electrical shock, do not remove covers or panels. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

In case of an emergency ensure that the power is disconnected.

Use only fuses of the type and rating specified.

Connect the product only to a power source with the specified voltage rating.

The Base Station must always be connected to protective earth. Do not interrupt the protection conductor inside or outside the unit. Do not disconnect the protective earth terminal. Intentional interruption is prohibited and is likely to make the unit dangerous.

To prevent risk of overheating, ventilate the units correctly.

For safety reasons the Base Station must be mounted in a 19-inch rack which has safety covers according to IEC65. When two Base Stations are mounted above each other, the minimum distance between them must be 50mm or the rack must be force-air cooled.

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 1.5A in the outer shield of the Triax cable or 0.2A 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.

Base Station earthing

The rear of the unit has two separate screw terminals for protective earth (PE) and video earth (VE). These are normally connected by a metal strap.

The protective earth terminal is internally connected to the protective earth conductor of the power cable. In normal circumstances the connection between the protective earth and the video earth should not be broken. If required, the central earth connection wire of the studio can be connected to terminal PE in accordance with VDE regulation 0800/part2.

Only if the studio (or OB van) is equipped with separate protective and video earth systems may the metal strap be removed. Under these circumstances the video earth terminal must be connected to the central functional earth potential (video earth) of the studio. This earth potential should have functional protective and noiseless earth (FPE) qualities as stated in the VDE regulation 0800/part2. A low impedance interconnection of both earth conductors must be provided at the central studio earthing point.

The high level of modularity guarantees ideal matching with any type of application; you can use the system in a studio or for mobile field production, for HDTV or for SDTV production. Optional modules can be inserted or removed at any time, making it possible to change the configuration on a day-to-day basis.

The Base Station is only 2U high yet offers full broadcast functionality and quality.The low height means that rack space is saved. Its low power consumption and efficient internal cooling eliminate the need for space between adjacent units. Sliding rails are additionally available for easy access to the back panel. The wings on either side of the back panel protect all connectors from damage, including the Triax connector. The Triax connector itself can easily be mounted at different angles to suit all mounting requirements.

Chapter 1 - Introduction

Operational controls

You can access the Base Station menu, which contains all operational settings, from an Operational Control Panel. In addition to the operational menu, the installation and service menus can be activated from the Base Station by pressing a switch behind the front panel. The Base Station is compatible with all existing control system components.

1.1. 1 TriaxHD Features

The advanced TriaxHD transmission system, which is a further development of the Emmy Award winning Triax transmission system, makes the base station and camera compatible with industry standard Triax cables. This allows the reuse of existing, reliable and valuable cable inventories. TriaxHD offers video transmission and remote control of cameras up to a distance of 1,200 m (4,000 ft) and beyond, using standard 14 mm (0.55 in) Triax cables.

The TriaxHD system is based on 30MHz full-bandwidth 4:2:2 transmission (Y/Cr/Cb components). The double sideband 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.

Chapter 1 - Introduction

1.1.2 HD fiber features

The HD fiber system allows video transmission and remote control of cameras up to a distance of 4,000 m (13,000 ft) and beyond, using industry standard fiber optic cable. It is based on 30MHz full-bandwidth 4:2:2 transmission (Y/Cr/Cb components).

The double sideband 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.

1.1.3 Modular construction

The modular concept makes it easy to expand the functionality by simply adding new modules. Quick exchange of the modules for servicing or the ability to swap modules between Base Stations is another benefit.

The external video input module provides two analog video inputs and loop-through analog outputs. The signal can be PAL or NTSC, and does not need to be clamped. It can also be nonsynchronized. The external video input module can be replaced in future by a digital one.

HDTV and simultaneous high-end SDTV

Besides standard high-definition outputs, the Base Station can be optionally equipped with simultaneous high-end SDTV outputs. This offers ultimate flexibility: produce in SDTV one day, and in HDTV the next, or do both simultaneously. Having both SDTV and HDTV outputs facilitates a gradual and managed transition from STDV to HDTV. Three 1.5 Gb/s HD-SDI outputs are available on the Base Station. The high quality SDTV Module adds three 270 Mb/s SDI and three analog outputs (these can be programmed to be either R, G, B, or Y, Pr, Pb or three CVBS outputs).

Monitoring

Monitoring in the analog HD video domain requires the monitoring module. The outputs on this module provide four switchable signals (R, G, B and Y), which are simultaneously available on a WFM and PXM connector. The switching is done in the digital video domain and can be controlled from an OCP or MCP. The PXM output can be used for analog picture monitoring, and the WFM output for monitoring on a waveform monitor. An additional conventional VGA connector, which is also provided by this module, contains R, G, B, H-sync, and V-sync signals for relative low-cost analog HD monitoring using an appropriate computer monitor. For monitoring in the SD video domain, one of the SDI outputs or analog outputs of the High Quality SDTV module can be used.

Audio and intercom

The audio and advanced intercom module provides 4-channel intercom and 2-channel audio from the camera. The high-quality audio from the camera head is passed to the different outputs via balanced line drivers on the module for clean transparent sound. The gain levels can be remotely controlled.

In the installation menu of the Base Station, a choice is provided between a 4-wire or a 2-wire intercom system. An intercom channel can be assigned as a data channel for private data. A 1kHz test-tone generator and voicemail extend the functionality even further. The voicemail stores messages from a combination of sources like Program, Production or Engineering for the camera operator. By adding the engineering intercom module, a 5-channel full-featured intercom is possible.

14 LDK 4502/4503/4506 HDTV camera base station User’s Guide (v3.5)

Page 15

The engineering intercom module provides a 2-channel intercom between camera operator and engineering. The module fits into the front of the unit and facilitates the plugging in of a headset and level adjustment for both ear muffs. It is ideal for a simple intercom facility in a standalone mode of operation, or to expand the 4-channel advanced intercom to a 5-channel intercom.

1.3 Packing/unpacking

Inspect the shipping container for evidence of damage immediately after receipt. If the shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, it should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the units have been checked mechanically and electrically. The shipping container should be placed upright and opened from the top. Remove the cushioning material and lift out the contents. The contents of the shipment should be checked against the packing list. If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or defect, or if the units do not perform correctly when unpacked, notify your sales or service centre within eight days. If the shipping container shows signs of damage or stress, notify the carrier as well.

If a unit is being returned to for servicing, try to use the containers and materials of the original packaging. Attach a tag indicating the type of service required, return address, model number, full serial number and the return number which will be supplied by your service centre. If the original packing can no longer be used, the following general instructions should be used for repacking with commercially available materials:

1. Wrap unit in heavy paper or plastic.

2. Use strong shipping container.

3. Use a layer of shock-absorbing material around all sides of the unit to provide firm

cushioning and prevent movement inside container.

4. Seal shipping container securely.

5. Mark shipping container FRAGILE to ensure careful handling.

Installation

2.1 Configurations

Chapter 2 - Installation

2.1.1 Cameras and Base Stations with C2IP network

Triax systems

Each camera head with a Triax adapter is connected to a Base Station using a Triax cable. The maximum length of cable that can be used without significant degradation of the video signal is 1,200 m (4,000 ft) for a 14 mm Triax cable. The power supply is applied to the Base Station and via the Triax cable to the camera.

Fiber systems

Each camera head with a fiber adapter is connected to a Base Station using a hybrid fiber optic cable. The maximum length of cable that can be used without significant degradation of the video signal is 4,000m (13,000 ft). The power supply is applied to the Base Station and via the cable to the camera.

Ethernet

The Base Stations are each connected to a network hub or router via an Ethernet cable (straight through, not cross-over). The OCP 400 operational control panels and, if required the MCP 400 Master Control Panel, are also connected to the Ethernet network via a hub or router.

Note

☞

An OCP 400 operational control panel can also be connected directly to the Base Station using a cross-over Ethernet cable.

If required, a series 9000 OCP can be connected directly to a Base Station using a 2-wire bus cable. In this situation no loop-through is available and the camera number must be set to 1.

LDK 4502/4503/4506 HDTV camera base station User’s Guide (v3.5) 17

Page 18

Chapter 2 - Installation

2.1.2 Camera with Triax adapter and SuperXpander

An LDK 8000 camera head can be mounted in the LDK 4488 SuperXpander (or in the LDK 4489 Xpander). This enables large box lenses to be used with the camera. The LDK 4021 7-inch HDTV viewfinder can be mounted on the SuperXpander.

The camera with the TriaxHD adapter connects to the SuperXpander via a flying lead. The power supply for the camera is supplied via this lead. The SuperXpander is connected to a TriaxHD Base Station using a Triax cable. This configuration can be powered either:

– from the Base Station via the Triax cable, or

– locally with the mains power supply connected directly to the SuperXpander.

2.2 Control bus

The Base Station can be connected to either:

• an Ethernet control network (C2IP)

• a two-wire Series 9000 control bus (S9000). One of these options can be selected in the SYSTEM/CONTROL MODE menu item. The Base

Station is delivered with the default value set to C2IP, so only the Ethernet control bus is active.

If you use control panels of the Series 9000 system, then you must change the value of the System / Control Mode menu item to S9000 so that you can connect these panels to the 4-pin Data connector at the rear of the unit.

(To loop-through Series 9000 control panels use the special connector cable provided.)

The IP address and other options for the Ethernet connection can be set up in the System menu. These items can also be set up remotely using a network configuration tool such as NetConfig.

Note

☞

Even if you have selected the C2IP control bus, then you can still connect a single OCP from the Series 9000 system to the 4-pin Data connector at the rear of the unit. However, you may not connect more than one device as this leads to unreliable operation.

2.3 Power supply

Caution

Connect the Base Station only to a power source with the specified voltage rating. Use only fuses of the type and rating specified.

18 LDK 4502/4503/4506 HDTV camera base station User’s Guide (v3.5)

Page 19

Chapter 2 - Installation

Before connecting your unit to the power supply check the fuse type (230 or 115) on the IEC power connector at the rear of the Base Station.

If the fuse type shown corresponds to your power supply voltage, connect the power supply for the Base Station to the IEC connector at the rear.

If the fuse type does not correspond to your power supply voltage you must change the fuses before connecting the supply as follows:

1. Insert a small screwdriver into the slot above the pins of the IEC connector and unclip the fuse holder unit.

2. Insert you finger under the indication unit and pull it out.

3. Rotate the indication unit 180° so that the correct indication for you voltage supply is

displayed at the back of the Base Station (230 or 115).

4. Slide the indication unit securely back into its slot.

5. Insert the appropriate fuses into the alternative fuse holder which is delivered separately

with the Base Station (4AT fuses into the 230 fuse holder; 10AT fuses into the 115 fuse holder). The type of fuse holder is marked on the holder.

6. Slide the fuse holder securly back into the IEC connector until it clips into place.

7. Check again that you have used the correct fuses and that the corresponding indication is

shown.

8. Connect the power supply for the Base Station to the IEC connector at the rear.

2.6 Auxiliary connections

2.6.1 Private data

Private data channels can be used for the transmission of serial data via the Triax cable. For example, electronic scriptboard or character data for a video display unit or pan and tilt data can be transmitted to the camera.

The tracker microphone intercom channel is used for the data channel from camera head to Base Station. The program intercom channel is used for the data channel from Base Station to camera head. The input and output signals are available on the auxiliary connectors of the camera and Base Station. If a channel is used for private data, then of course the original functions are no longer available.

Figure 2-10. Private data on auxiliary connector

Private date in

Private data out

To select the function of the Base Station to camera channel set the Base Station menu item AUDIO\INTERCOM\INTERCOM\PRIVATE DATA\PROG Channel to Priva.

To select the function of the Camera to Base Station channel set the Base Station menu item AUDIO\INTERCOM\INTERCOM\PRIVATE DATA\TRACKER CHANNEL to PRIVATE.

Remember that the propagation-delay times are different for different Triax cable lengths, especially if a return signal is involved. At maximum lengths of 2400 metres the total delay is at least 25 µs and can be more than 30 µs depending on the type of Triax cable.

The duty cycle difference between input and output is max. 5%.

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 analogue value (variable from 00 to 99)

• or 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 analogue values associated with that function are then unavailable. If there are only two values associated with the function, then pressing the Rotary/Push 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 Rotary/Push button places the cursor in a list menu indicating the value currently selected. Use the Rotary/Push button to point to a new value. Press the Rotary/Push button to return the cursor to the function list. If an analogue value is displayed next to a function name, then pressing the Rotary/Push button places the cursor in front of the value and the Rotary/Push button is used to change the analogue value. Press the Rotary/Push button to return the cursor to the function list.

LDK 4502/4503/4506 HDTV camera base station User’s Guide (v3.5) 47

Page 48

Chapter 4 - Using the Base Station

Files menu

This menu allows values to be stored in System and operator files, and allows these files to be recalled as required.

Diagnostic menu

The diagnostic menu is designed to provide information on the current status of the Base Station.

4.4.7 Base Station user levels

The menu items are divided into two user levels. The operator level Op. (O) is default accessible. Menu items with user level Install (I) are only accessible if the menu level is set to Install. To enter the Install level proceed as follows:

1. Enter the menu.

2. Navigate to the Monitoring \ Menu \ Menu level Item.

3. Set the Menu level to Inst.

The purpose of the user levels is to restrict the set of functions which can be changed by whoever is using the Base Station. In this way a the danger of the operator accidentally changing critical functions while shooting is reduced.

The system Menu Structure paragraph of this section indicates which functions are available at each user level.

4.4.8 Video menu - Special features

Auto lighting

The Auto Lighting item of the the video menu compensates for variations in the frequency of the power supply used for gas discharge lamps (fluorescent or HMI lighting).

The frequency of power supply generators can vary from the nominal value. This variation affects the lighting which in turn affects the colour balance. If camera system and lighting are supplied by the same power source, then the base station auto lighting function can automatically adjust the exposure to follow the variations and maintain a constant colour balance. This correction only works when the camera exposure time is set to the 50Hz or 60Hz position.

Gain adjustment

The Gain Adjustments item of the the video menu is a special item. It combines menu items from various other menus to help you when you are adjusting the gain. It should only be used when carrying out the gain adjustments on the Sync/Encoder board in conjunction with the procedure given.
