1-2 FilmStream mode Viper

To operate in the FilmStream mode you must ensure that the camera
is switched to this mode. The output signals and the control functions
that are available depend on the mode you select.

The factory default for the mode setting is the FilmStream mode, so
normally you do not have to switch modes to operate the camera as
a digital film camera.

If a different mode has been set up, then you need to switch to the
FilmStream mode by changing a menu setting (for more details refer
to Section 5).

To change modes:

1. Open the menu system.

2. Go to the Install menu.

3. Select Output mode item.

4. Change the value to FilmStream or HDStream.

The camera remembers the last selected mode, so it remains in the
FilmStream mode even when switched off and on again.

Monitoring

To provide a monitoring signal for viewing, a separate channel is used
which undergoes some video processing to make it acceptable for
viewing on monitors and viewfinders. Although derived from the same
sensor signals, this channel is entirely separate from the main FilmStream
output.

The Viper does not have any adjustable visual parameters for the
FilmStream outputs. Framing, focussing, exposure setting, shutter
angle and optical filtering are the only operations required of the
camera and lens operators.

Selecting operational mode

Introduction FilmStream mode 1-3

Streaming modes

FilmStream mode

The FilmStream mode differs from the HD video mode in that it
captures all information in a scene and stores it digitally without
altering any parameters. By avoiding video processing in the raw RGB
data, the output signal is a true and faithful representation of the light
from the scene. Thus the FilmStream digital data signals are full-range
signals suitable for film post-production without any loss of information.

Capturing the light

The Viper uses three high-definition CCD sensors to register the light
from the lens. The signals from these sensors are converted to R, G, and
B data values using 12-bit A/D converters. Using logarithmic calculations
this data is then converted to 10-bit values and transferred to a recorder
using a dual HD-SDI link. Full resolution is maintained: true-progressive
1920 x 1080 pixels for every color. No color sub-sampling, no color
space conversions, no irreversible video manipulations, no further
quantizations, and no compression is carried out.

HDStream mode

The output mode can also be set to HDStream. This mode provides
signals similar to the FilmStream signals but in a 4:2:2 HD-SDI format.
These HDStream signals are subject to white balancing in the camera
but like FilmStream signals, they do not undergo any other video
processing. HDStream mode is ideal when storage capacity is limited
or for applications where lower resolution signals are sufficient, such
as background for keying.

1-4 FilmStream mode Viper

Technology

CCD sensor technology

The Viper FilmStream Camera uses three unique 9.2 Megapixel HD­DPM+ CCD sensors that allow the camera to work in several formats;
1080 lines at 24/25/30 frames per second or 720 lines at 24/25/30/50/
60 frames per second.

This CCD sensor is based on the Frame-Transfer principle which is best
suited for progressive images. The Viper uses a mechanical shutter
which means that the CCD exposure has a similar ramp to film cameras,
thus providing similar motion characteristics.

Formats

The following formats can be selected in the Install menu:

1080psf at 23.98Hz
1080psf at 24Hz
1080psf at 25Hz
1080psf at 29.97Hz
1080i at 50Hz
1080i at 59.94Hz
1080i at 59.94Hz - 23

720p at 23.98Hz
720p at 25Hz
720p at 29.97Hz
720p at 50Hz
720p at 59.94Hz

The sensor consists of 1920 horizontal pixels and 4320 vertical sub­pixels. By grouping the vertical sub-pixels, the vertical line count can
be set. Full resolution is preserved and the horizontal viewing angle
stays the same.

• 1080P

When four vertical sub-pixels are combined, the total line count
becomes 1080 lines. So, a 1920 x 1080 image sensor is obtained with
a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Introduction FilmStream mode 1-5

• 1080i

When eight vertical sub-pixels are combined, the total line count
becomes 540 lines. The second field is shifted four pixels to give an
interlaced picture.

• 720P

When six vertical sub-pixels are combined, then the total line count
becomes 720 lines. So, a 1920 x 720 image sensor is obtained with a 16:9
aspect ratio. When set to 60 frames per second, slow motion effects can
be achieved during post-production at different playback speeds.

• Cinemascope Aspect Ratio

When three vertical sub-pixels are combined, 1440 vertical lines are
obtained. By using the middle 1080 lines, a 2.37:1 aspect ratio is
achieved without the need for anamorphic lenses while maintaining
full 1920 x 1080 resolution. There is no need to crop the image or lose
resolution to get this aspect ratio.

Access and Security

Camera cards

Three camera cards are delivered with each camera; one owner’s card
and two user cards. An owner’s card is linked to the serial number of
the camera and is unique to that camera. It cannot be used as an
owner’s card for another camera.
The owner’s card acts as:

• an access control device to the security settings of the camera.

• a storage card for four scene files and two operator files.
The user card stores four scene files and two operator files.

Operator files contain information relating to the set-up of general
camera preferences. Scene files contain information relating to the
video settings of the camera head.

Physical set-up

The Viper can be tripod-mounted or operated from the shoulder.
Attach all accessories to the camera as described in Section 2 or as
described by the manufacturer. Connect the camera to the recording
system or directly to the post-production facility.

Power

If using an external power source connected to the power input socket
at the back of the camera, switch to the external source.
Set the power switch on the left side of the camera to the On position.

Functional set-up

The camera uses an electronic viewfinder. Text messages giving
information about the camera status are superimposed on the viewfinder
picture. The viewfinder is also used to display a menu-style control
system. This menu give access to the camera functions.

When you first use the camera, you should enter the menu system to
check and, if necessary select, the operational mode that you wish to
work in and to set up your personal preferences. Refer to Section 6 ­Operating the Menu System which explains how to use the menu
system.

The menu system has 3 user levels. If the level is set too low, you may
not have access to all the available functions. The owner card or the
PIN code is used to set the user level in the Security menu. For full
control, set the level to 3.

Mode selection

The operational mode is selected in the Install menu. Check that the
output mode item is set to FilmStream. Then select the format you want

- 1080p or 720p. If you select 1080p, you can then select the aspect ratio

- 16:9 or SW (cinemascope).

Lens

Setting up the camera

Set-up and operation FilmStream mode 5-3

When you fit a lens, check the lens documentation to determine how
to adjust the back focus of the lens. In the menu system, select the lens
type from two predefined settings; standard or wide angle.
Choose and, if necessary, adjust the iris parameters to suit the lens and
your personal preferences.

Viewfinder preferences

Viewfinder markers, and on-screen display preferences can be set in
the VF menu. The zebra overexposure indicators and the focus assist
function are also set up in this menu.

There are also several switches and controls on the viewfinder itself for
adjusting its functioning (refer to Section 4).

Monitoring signal

To make the FilmStream signal suitable for viewing it undergoes video
processing. This is only for the monitoring signal, the FilmStream signal
is not affected. Some video parameters can be changed for the
monitoring signal.
On the camera:

• Gain (-6db, 0dB, +6db or +12db)

• Colour temperature (3.2K, 4.7K, 5.6K, 7.5K or Thru)

In the Video Mon. menu:

• Black level

• Knee compression of highlights

• Skin matrix

Set these preferences to get the best possible picture in the viewfinder
and on the monitors.

When the camera is used in the FilmStream mode the only operational

5-4 FilmStream mode Viper

functions to be performed are:

• Framing

• Focussing

• Shutter angle

• Internal optical filters (if required)

• Start recording

Framing

Because the picture displayed in the viewfinder (and on the monitors)
is directly derived from the electronic signal from the sensors, it is a
perfect representation of the captured shot regardless of the position
of the viewfinder. (The viewfinder causes no light loss or reflections
and does not have to be physically aligned.)

Focussing

A tape measure stud on the lens adapter provides a reference for the
optical plane.
To assist with optical focussing through the viewfinder, use the VF
Zoom button on the left-front of the camera to enlarge the centre of the
viewfinder image.
A crawler function (that can be switched on or off in the VF menu) adds
motion in the viewfinder to objects in sharp focus.

Light exposure

The camera has a sensitivity that is equivalent to a film sensitivity of
about 320ASA (400ASA for super wide-angle). Use the zebra function
in the viewfinder picture to identify overexposed areas.

The sensitivity of the camera is also influenced by the shutter angle you
select.

Shutter angle (exposure time)

Operating the camera

Set-up and operation FilmStream mode 5-5

The shutter angle is set electronically with the exposure switch on the
front of the camera.

The following table gives the equivalent values of exposure time in
mSec. for a particular shutter angle measured in degrees. This is shown
for the various frame rates.

The following table gives the equivalent values of shutter angle in

Introduction

Operationally, the camera is very easy to use. It may require some time
for you to become familiar with all the functions available and the large
number of set-up options. We recommend that you spend time using
the various controls and displays in order to discover the wide range
of possibilities.

Read the instructions in this section carefully but also feel free to
examine the various menus in detail. In this way you will learn quickly
to intuitively operate the camera.

The Systems Menu is viewed in the viewfinder and controlled by the
rotorary control and the Select button at the front of the camera.

MENU: MAIN

The system functions of the camera are grouped into menus and sub­menus. 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.

Entering the menu system

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.
The Main menu screen shows five items and the name of the menu.
Four more items are hidden but become visible when you scroll down.
(Some of these items may not appear if the user level is not set to 3.)

A cursor shows your position in the menu. The Rotary control moves
the cursor up and down.

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 switch to scroll up to them.

- Select PREVIOUS to go back to the menu that you were in before
the current one.

The Install menu above shows the items displayed when you first enter
the menu and the other items that are available by scrolling up or down
with the Rotary control.

Leaving the Systems Menu

If you are deep within the menu structure, follow these steps to leave:
a. If necessary move the cursor to the leftmost column with the Select

button.

b. Scroll upwards with the Rotary control until the cursor points to

TOP (this is the Main menu).

c. Press the Select button. The cursor now points to the Menu off item

of the Main menu.

d. Press the Select button to leave the Systems menu.
This is the recommended way of leaving 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 System menu by returning to the Main menu
(TOP) and selecting Menu off.

Using the Menu System FilmStream mode 6-5

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 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 Select button toggles between these two values.

If a value is displayed after the function that is part of a list, 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 analogue value is displayed after the function name, then pressing
the Select button places the cursor in front of the value and the rotary
control is used to change the analogue value. Press the Select button
to return the cursor to the function list.

Undoing changes

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

6-6 FilmStream mode Viper

Access to the functions on these menus is determined by the user level
that has been set. The menus are as follows:

Main (top) menu

The top menu gives access to the other main menus.

VF menu

This menu contains the functions which determine how items in the
viewfinder are displayed

Lens menu

The functions contained in this menu control various aspects of the
lens.

Video Mon. menu

The video menu contains those functions which affect the picture
quality of the monitoring signal.

Install menu

This menu contains functions which are used to install the camera into
a particular configuration. It also contains controls to customize those
switches which are directly operated on the camera.

Files menu

This menu allows function values to be stored in scene files and
recalled as required.

Security menu

The security menu is used by the camera owner to set user levels and
to control access to the camera, or to store the customer (scene and
operator) default files.

Diagnostic menu

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

Menu Structure

Using the Menu System FilmStream mode 6-7

The Security menu provides restricted access to special set-up and
security features of the camera. Access to this menu requires the
owner's unique camera card or the PIN code that has been set for the
camera.

Note:

An owner’s card is linked to the serial number of the camera and is
unique to that camera. It cannot be used as an owner’s card for another
camera.

Inserting the owner card into the camera gives direct access to the
security menu. If you select the Security menu without this card
inserted, you must enter the correct PIN code to gain access to the
Security menu.

User Levels

The installed user level function in the Security menu restricts access,
in varying degrees, to the operational controls of the camera. 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. The appendix indicates which
functions are available at each user level.

PIN Code

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 unauthorised
access to the Security menu.

Security Menu

Files Menu Features

A user of the LDK 7500 camera can have access to 15 different files. This
number can be extended by using additional scene file smart cards. The
Files menu is used to recall and store these files.

There are two types of file; scene files and 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 appendix indicates the functions that
are stored in the scene file and those functions that are stored in an
operator file.

Scene files

Four scene files are stored in the camera itself (SCAM1, SCAM2, SCAM3
and SCAM4). Another four scene files can be stored on the smart card
(SCARD1, SCARD2, SCARD3 and SCARD4). The default file names can
be changed in the files menu. A STANDARD scene file (preselected as
either factory or customer defined) is stored in the camera.

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 recording when a scene file is recalled then the recalled
values do not become active until the camera stops recording.

Operator files

The Files menu also allows the recall of the opererator file stored in the
camera (OCAM1) or one of the two operator files (OCARD1 and
OCARD2) stored on the smart card. These files contain information for
setting up the non-video configuration of the camera.

Files Menu

Using the Menu System FilmStream mode 6-9

The default file names can be changed in the files menu. A STANDARD
operator files (factory or customer defined) is stored in the camera.

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.

Standard customer file

The green button on the 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. A customer standard
can be defined 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.
