About This Manual
Service policy
The Camera Base Station is a sophisticated base station
containing state-of-the-art electronic components which
are designed to provide long-life operation without the
need for maintenance. With this in mind, the service policy
of Thomson Multimedia Broadcast Solutions endeavours
to ensure that help will be quickly on hand in the unlikely
event of anything going wrong. The guiding principles of
the Thomson Multimedia Broadcast Solutions first line
maintenance philosophy are speed and cost effectiveness.
First line maintenance is dedicated to keeping your base
station operational, despite a fault, by module replacement
and the replacement of minor mechanical parts by the
user.
Purpose of this manual
The provision of correct information is the first step in
ensuring the operational integrity of the base station.
Information on the operation of the base station is contained
in Section 3 of the manual.
This User's Guide is an integral part of the service policy.
It ensures that you will be able to operate, install and setup your base station to meet the requirements of your
environment. The information on the installation of the
base station is contained in Section 2 of the manual. The
remaining sections of the manual provide first line service
information so that suitably qualified service personnel can
detect and repair faults, normally by module replacement.
Because of the complexity of some of the components,
second line service can only be carried out at the specially
equipped service centres and information concerning
second line maintenance is not supplied
in this manual.
Section 3: Operating instructions
Explains how to program the menu system for your personal
preferences. The menu structure and the methods of
function selection are also explained. An appendix to this
section lists all the menu functions.
Section 4: Replacements
Gives information on the replacement of components at
first line level.
Section 5: Diagnostics
Gives a guide to diagnostic messages and procedures for
fault-finding.
Identification and Status
To indicate the status of a drawing, a box with the numbers
0 to 9 is shown in the bottom-right of the drawing. The
number that is crossed-out is the status number of the
drawing. For example, in the illustration below, the status
is 1.
0 1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8 9
A sticker is used on the units themselves to identify them
and to indicate their status. For example, in the illustration
below, the top line is the 12-digit number that identifies the
unit type.
3922 406 88991
00121107 00 01
Intended audience
The manual is intended as a guide to those with a working
knowledge of camera systems and installation techniques.
The first line detection and repair of faults requires a
general knowledge of test and measurement techniques.
Structure of this manual
The manual is divided into eight different sections:
The first four digits of the number on the second line
represent a date code (year, week); the next four digits
represent the serial number for that week.
The number in the grey area indicates the status of the unit.
The last two digits represent the number that will be given
to the next status. However, if these two digits are contained
in a box, then this is the current status. For example, in the
illustration above, the current status of the unit is 01.
Section 1: Safety Instructions
Outlines the safety precautions that must be taken when
using the base station.
Section 2: Installation
Gives instructions on the integration of the base station into
the operating environment and the customization of certain
functions.

Introduction
The flexible design of the base station means that it can be
integrated into a variety of configurations in studios or OB
vans. To made full use of its extensive functionality it provides
many facilities for setting it up. Once set up, operation is
vitually transparent.
We recommend that you spend time using the various controls
and displays in order to fully discover the wide range of
features. 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 use the system.
Simple set-up
The Rotary/Push button behind the left front cover can be
used to control some basic set-up functions. It can also be
used to navigate through the menu system.
Menu System
The menu system is used for setting up and configuring the
base station. As there are a large number of functions and
set-up options available, it may require some time for you to
become familiar with them all.
OCP menu control
Although the Rotary/Push button can be used to navigate
through the menu system, it is more convenient to use the
OCP connected to the Base Station. (Refer to the OCP user
guide to find out how to do this.)
Viewing the menu
The System Menu video signal is available on the Text output
of the base station. The System Menu text can also be
superimposed on the CVBS output if desired.

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 left most column
with the Rotary/Push button.
b. Scroll upwards until the cursor points to TOP (this is
the main menu).
c. Press the Rotary/Push button. The cursor now points
to the Menu off item of the MAIN menu.
d. Press the Rotary/Push button to leave the system
menu.
This is the recommended way of leaving the system menu.
Making changes
To find out where to change a function, consult the List of
System Menu Functions at the end of this section to find out
under which menu group or subgroup the function 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 (---).
The menu system disappears after a few seconds when you
stop navigating. (This delay can be programmed in the
MONITORING / MENU
system menu again you enter 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.) However, when you enter the
MENU OFF
.
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.
Undoing changes
If you make changes to the settings in the Systems menu and
you decide not to keep them, use the Recall File function to
recall a standard or stored set of values for the parameters.
These files are available in the FILES menu.

Menu Structure
Access to the functions on these menus is determined by the
user level that has been set. The menus are as follows:
User Levels
The menu items are divided into two user levels. The operator
level "O" is default accessible. Menu items with user level
Install "I" are only accessible if the menu level is set to Install.
Main (top) menu
The top menu gives access to the other menus.
Video menu
The video menu contains those functions which affect the
picture quality.
Monitoring menu
This menu contains the functions which determine how items
in the video monitor are displayed.
Audio/Intercom menu
The functions contained under this menu control various
aspects of audio and intercom.
SDTV menu
The SDTV menu contains the functions that are used to set
up the SDTV output settings.
System menu
This menu contains the functions that are used to set up the
general configuration and for carrying out adjustments and
calibrations of 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.
To enter the Install level proceed as follows:
a. Enter the menu.
b. Navigate to the
c. 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.
Monitoring \ Menu \ Menu level
Item.
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.
Diagnostic menu
The diagnostic menu is designed to provide information on
the current status of the Base Station.

The instructions given in this section are restricted to those
modules which can be replaced at the first line service
level. These modules include:
•The printed circuit boards
•The connector boards
•The front panels
After a printed circuit board has been replaced it is
sometimes necessary to carry out adjustments to match
the new boards to your base station and so maintain the
performance levels. The relevant adjustment procedures
are given in Section 4.
The procedures for removing the modules should be
followed in reverse order when remounting the units.
