into a practical, useable camera. It lists the main features of the camera and also the

precautions that must be taken into account when using it.

1-2 Operator's Manual LDK 200 Triax Introduction

Technology

The LDK 200 Triax camera combines a multi-role
digital camera head using 2/3-inch CCD sensors with
a triax adapter. The result is a flexible camera that is
equally at home in the studio or out on location in an
OB environment.

Camera Head

The Frame Transfer CCD DPM sensor offers superior
performance and can handle highlights of up to 600%.
The 2/3-inch sensors have a high dynamic range and
high linear sensitivity over all camera lens apertures.
Frame Transfer technology ensures that there is no
lag nor smear. The Frame Transfer DPM sensor uses
Dynamic Pixel Management which allows the format
of the sensors to be switched between 4:3 and 16:9
aspect ratios at the touch of a switch without loss of
horizontal or vertical resolution. The 1000 pixels per
line in both formats ensures that there is no loss in the
horizontal viewing angle but also ensures high resolution
in the red, green and blue channels.

Digital Processing

The advanced digital processing of the camera is
based on 12-bit A/D converters and more than 20-bit
internal processing. Two DSPs combine all major
camera functions in the digital domain, including
knee, gamma, contour, matrix and colour correction.

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

The digital contour processing uses full amplitude
video RGB signals via an extended dynamic range
contour circuit.

Colorimetry is selected by means of a variable 6-point
digital matrix or via preset matrices. Digital gamma
circuits provide a wide range of standardised gamma
curves and enable soft contrast in black scenes to be
enhanced, together with hard contrast and saturated
colour in bright scenes. The matrix and gamma
sequence is software programmable for precise colour
matching.

Film-like characteristics

The pivoting knee circuit adapts both the knee point
and the compression ratio according to the highlight
content of the picture to emulate the softly limiting S­shaped transfer characteristics of film. Digital True
Colour Knee circuitry maintains the correct hue for
compressed highlights, reproducing colours faithfully,
even overexposed skin tones.

Digital contrast circuitry provides a black stretch
function for more detail in black areas and a black
press function for improving the contrast impression
by simulating the S-curve of film.

Advanced Triax Features

The full bandwidth of the Triax system allows remote
control of camera up to a distance of 2,400 meters
(7,875 feet). The Triax system uses full bandwidth R,
G and B signals. The double sideband modulation
provides automatic compensation of the amplitude
characteristics of each video channel. This results in
the best possible linearity, lower crosstalk and higher
signal to noise over the maximum cable length. The
chroma key quality is excellent as the primary colours
do not have to be derived. Teleprompt and viewfinder
signals maintain high performance even with long
cable lengths.

The communication facilities provide for two-wire or
four-wire high quality intercom signals.

The LDK 200 Triax is plug compatible with existing
Philips base stations and full camera control is
provided via Series 9000 Universal Camera Control
system. Base station outputs can include an optional
serial digital video signal.

SuperXPander

An optional SuperXpander enables the camera to be
used with large lenses so extending the camera's use
in studio and EFP situations.

Introduction Operator's Manual LDK 200 Triax 1-3

Smart Card

Three smart cards are delivered with each camera.
These comprise of two user cards and one owner
card.

The owner's smart card has three functions:

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

• As a storage device for four scene files.

• As a storage device for two operator files.

The owner card is unique to every camera. Owner card
and camera must have the same serial number.

The user smart card has two functions:

• As a storage device for four scene files.

• As a storage device for two operator files.

Access control

The owner card is used to set the user level. There are
four user levels present in the camera. These restrict
access, in varying degrees, to the operational controls.
The Appendix indicates which functions are available
at each user level. (The owner card also gives access
to a service level; refer to the Technical Manual for
more information about this level.)

Scene files

Both the user card and the owner card allow four
different scene files to be stored on the card. The
recall and storage of a scene file is carried out via the
Files menu of the menu system. A scene file contains
information relating to the video settings.

Operator files

Both the user card and the owner card allow two
different operator files to be stored on the card. The
recall and storage of a operator file is carried out via
the Files menu of the menu system. An operator file
contains information relating to the set-up of general
camera preferences.

Note: Only use an original Philips camera card.

Store the owner card in a safe place.

g. Place the microphone cable into the top clip at the

front of the camera and into clip 4 at the side of the
camera.(Pull and twist clip 4 to open it.)

Other microphones with a diameter of 21mm can
also be used, however, ensure that the phantom
power and the sensitivity of the input that match that
type of microphone are correctly selected in the
camera systems menu. Refer to Section 6 for more
information on selecting the audio inputs and
controlling the audio level.

Note:

· When longer microphones are used, it is not
necessary to place them in the split tube.

· For optimum operation, the microphone should be
mounted as straight as possible.

· Don’t allow the wind hood to touch the holder 7 as
this reduces the damping effect.

· By placing the split facing upwards, the microphone
cable does not touch the holder thus avoiding
mechanical pick-up.

· The microphone can also be connected to the rear
of the Triax adapter where a switch selects the
input. Refer to Section 4 for more information on
connecting the microphone to the rear connector.

Tripod Adapter Plate

To mount the camera on a tripod, the tripod plate (LDK
530/00 is delivered as standard) must first be attached
to the tripod.

Follow the tripod manufacturer’s instructions to mount
the wedge plate supplied with the tripod and the tripod
adapter plate firmly onto the tripod.

To attach the camera to the tripod adapter plate
proceed as follows:
a. Slide the camera horizontally along the tripod

adapter plate from back to front ensuring that the
front of the camera engages the V-slot 1 at the
front of the tripod adapter plate, and that the slot on
the bottom of the camera engages the stud 2 at
the rear of the tripod adapter plate.

b. Firmly push the camera forward until it clicks into

place.

CAUTION

Failure to attach the camera to the tripod
adapter plate in the correct manner could

result in an unsecured camera. Ensure that

the rear stud 2 is engaged and that the

camera clicks into place.

To remove the camera from the tripod proceed as
follows:
a Press the red locking lever 3 against release

handle 4 on the tripod adapter plate and hold.
b. Ensure that you have a firm hold of the camera.
c. Pull the release handle 4 forward.
d. Move the camera backwards and up. The camera

is now free from the tripod adapter plate.

When a 5-inch viewfinder is used with the camera it is
recommended that the optionally available tripod
adapter plate LDK 5030 be used. This tripod plate has
an extra locking lever 5 at the rear which provides an
additional clamp for the rear stud and so gives extra
stability to the mount.

When the camera is mounted on the tripod tighten this
locking lever 5 to ensure that the stud 2 at the rear
of the plate is locked firmly in place.

When removing the camera first open the locking
lever 5 to free the rear stud 2 .

Using the Camera

The camera is operated via the viewfinder text display
and the control system switches on the front panel.
You have great detail and selection at your disposal
when changing all the functions that are available in
the camera. Refer to Section 6 - Operating the Menu
System - for an explanation of the use of the menu
selection structure and the viewfinder text display.

This section describes the operational functions that
are available when using the camera via the viewfinder
display and the switches at the front. These offer a
convenient way of accessing the menu system which
provides full control of the camera.

There are a number of steps that must be carried out
before satisfactory shots can be obtained:
a. The camera must be set up and powered.
b. The standard settings must be recalled.
c. Adjustments must be made for ambient lighting.

Physical set-up and power supply

Attach lens, viewfinder, microphone and any other
accessories to the camera as described in Section 2

- Assembling the Units.

Connect the triax cable to the triax connector and the
camera operator's headset to the headset socket on
the rear panel of the camera. Connect the audio
microphone to either the audio socket on the right
side of the camera or the socket on the rear. The
camera is powered by the base station via the triax
cable. Set the power switch on the left side of the
camera to the on position.

Operator preferences

With the owner card or the PIN code set the user level.
The recommended minimum user level is 1. Setting
the camcorder to level 0 is too restrictive for normal
circumstances. For full control set the level to 3.

Viewfinder preferences

Set up the viewfinder according to your own
preferences; select markers, message boxes and on­screen display times.

Lens preferences

Set up the lens according to the manufacturer's
instructions. 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.

Video preferences

The camera is now ready for use, however, the
ambient conditions must now be taken into account
and the appropriate adjustments made on the camera:
a. Recall the standards settings.
b. Switch off the colour bar (when on).
c. Select the gain.
d. Select a neutral density optical filter if required.
e. Set a preset colour temperature or carry out the

automatic white balance procedure.

f. Select the correct exposure time.

Note: The number of functions available depends on

the user level that has been set. Refer to
Section 6 for more information on setting the
user level.

Shooting Operator's Manual LDK 200 Triax 5-3

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 table in the Appendix lists the
values that are set when the standard file is recalled.

Press the green STD button on the left side panel of
the camera and hold it for 2 seconds to recall the
standard values for the various video functions. The
standard values only take effect when the camera is
not on-air.

Note: 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.

Smart-Touch™

Smart-Touch™ is an optional software module that
gives immediate access to 14 pre-defined scene files.
This library allows you to quickly set up the camera for
different shooting conditions. To choose a particular
file proceed as follows:
a. Press the green STD button for 2 seconds; the

viewfinder shows the library of available shooting
conditions.

b. Select a file by rotating the selection wheel at the

front of the camera.

c. Activate the file of your choice by pressing the

Select button at the front of the camera.

The new values only take effect when the camera is
not on-air. The Smart-Touch™ files can also be
selected by navigating to the Files menu using the
System Menu.

The files of the Smart-Touch™ library are divided into
three categories, Lighting, Creative, and Matching,
which complement the standard setting scene file.

The Lighting category provides three different files for
various lighting conditions:

• Night optimises the transfer characteristic to

enhance the visibility of detail in very dark scenes
without the undesirable consequence of excessive
noise associated with simply increasing gain.

• Fluorescent establishes matrix and colourmetric

parameters to reduce the green tinge and give a
more acceptable picture when the scene is lit with
uncorrected fluorescent lighting.

• Extreme contrast uses the full dynamic range of

the FT CCD sensor to obtain better handling of
highlights and more detail in the shadows.

The Creative category provides seven files for different
effects:

• Sports warm colour delivers warm and rich

contrasts bringing out team colours.

• Sports interview incorporates the dual skin tone

control into the sports setting for interviews.

• HI film gives a high contrast film-like look which

is ideal for outdoor location production.

• HI film + skin is the HI film setting with dual skin

tone control incorporated for natural, flattering
close-ups.

• LO film gives a low contrast film-like look for

studio production.

• LO film + skin is the LO film setting with dual skin

tone control incorporated for natural, flattering
close-ups.

• Sepia creates a sepia tone look for atmosphere-

rich production.

The Matching category provides three files for camera
matching:

• LDK 9x + LDK 10 for matching to Philips LDK 9,

LDK 10, LDK 90 and LDK 91 cameras.

• DVW xxx for matching to Sony camcorders.

• HL xxx for matching to Ikegami camcorders.

Each of these settings can be personalised and
stored on a smart card.

5-4 Operator's Manual LDK 200 Triax Shooting

Optical filter selection

A neutral density filter and a special effect filter can
be placed in the path of the optical signal to modify the
incoming light. The filters are selected via the filter
switches at the top-front of the camera. These filters
can be used, for example, to control depth of field.

The LDK 200 does not need colour optical filters to be
able to white balance correctly. The range of the auto­white balance is so wide (from 2.5K to 20K) that there
is never any need to use colour filters to obtain the
correct white.

Colour Bar

The left side panel also contains a button for switching
on the colour bar test signal. The colour bar is a
standard test signal which is used to set up and check
the camera before use.

When the colour bar is selected the following functions
are temporarily set to the values listed below:

Black stretch : Off
White limiter : Off
Zebra : Off
Safe area (VF) : Off
Cadre (VF) : Off

Gain selection

Depending on the available light levels it may be
necessary to adjust the gain of the camera. The gain
is selected via the Gain up/down switch on the left
side panel. When this switch is pressed initially, the
current value of the gain in dB is displayed in the
viewfinder.

A new value is chosen by scrolling up or down through
the five preset values (-, 0, +, ++ and +++). The actual
dB value of these gain steps can be set in the install
menu.

The -, + and ++ indicators at the top of the 1.5-inch
viewfinder show which preset is selected.

Colour temperature selection

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

Three similar memory positions (FL, AW1 and AW2)
are available to store the results of the auto-white
measurement process. The FL position is
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 colour balance is required under
changing lighting temperatures (sunsets, indoors/
outdoors use). When AWC is selected none of the
colour temperature indicators in the 1.5-inch viewfinder
light.

The colour temperature is selected via the up/down
scroll switch (White Bal.) at the left-front side of the
camera. The viewfinder displays the current value. A
new value is chosen by scrolling up or down through
the available values.The colour temperatures are
shown in the following order:

White balance : 3200K
White balance : 5600K
White balance : 7500K
White balance : FL
White balance : AW1
White balance : AW2
White balance : AWC

The viewfinder displays the selected value and the
actual measured colour temperature. The range of the
auto-white balance is from 2.5K to 20K.

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

Auto-White Balance

If the reference colour temperatures do not match
your lighting conditions carry out the auto-white
procedure as follows:
a. Use the colour temperature switch to select one of

the memory positions FL, AW1 or AW2 in which to
store the measured colour temperature value.

b. Press once on the white balance switch at the front

of the camera to start the automatic white balance
procedure. The following appears in the viewfinder:

AWHITE OK: 3700K

AWHITE: running

AWHITE: window

c. Point the camera so that the reference white

surface is between the two small white boxes.

d. Press the white balance button again to start the

measurement procedure. A message indicating
that the process is runnning appears.

e. When the process is completed (within a few

seconds) the OK message and the measured
temperature appear in the viewfinder.

The measured colour temperature is now stored in the
selected memory position and can be recalled as
required. The camera is now ready for use.

Note: During the auto-white measurement process

iris is set to Auto and 90% and the knee is
turned off.

5-6 Operator's Manual LDK 200 Triax Shooting

Sometimes when shooting TVs or computer monitors
a horizontal bar can be seen across those screens in
the viewfinder. There are two ways of removing the
noise bar from the picture depending on the frame
frequency of the display. For displays with the same
frame frequency as the camera, for example TV sets,
use the V-shift facility. For displays with a higher
frame frequency, for example computer monitors, use
the Clean Scan facility.

Clean Scan

Carry out the Clean Scan function as follows:
a. press the Clean Scan button at the front of the

camcorder for about two seconds to directly access
the variable exposure (clean scan) function. The
Clean Scan submenu appears in the viewfinder.

b. Use the rotary control to change the value and so

remove the horizontal black bar.

c. If a more accurate adjustment is required set the

Cl. Scan item to Extended.

Note: Set the Clean Scan mode to Normal if a smear

effect occurs.

d. Set the Unit item to the prefered 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. (Exposure Time returns to its
previous non-variable setting).

The ranges for in Normal mode are:

from 54.7 to 121.5 for 50Hz cameras
from 60.9 to 155.1 for 60Hz cameras

The ranges for in Extended mode are:

from 50.6 to 103.1 for 50Hz cameras
from 61.1 to 151 for 60Hz cameras

V-SHIFT

The vertical shift switch (V-SHIFT) at the front of the
camera is used for displays with the same frame
frequency as the camera, for example TV sets. It is
an up/down type switch. Pressing the switch moves
the black bar up or down so that it is no longer visible
in the viewfinder. This function is only active when the
camera is not genlocked and when it is not on-air.

If the frame frequencies of camera and monitor are
different use the clean scan function.

Shooting Screens

CRT Exposure

A third possibility can arise when shooting a monitor
whose synchronization is locked to the camera's.
Stripes might be visible in the picture of the monitor.
(This is more usual with 16:9 cameras.) To remove
these disturbing line pairing effects between monitor
and camera lines, select the CRT option with the
Exposure time switch.

Shooting Operator's Manual LDK 200 Triax 5-7

Exposure Time

The exposure time values of 1/200, 1/500 and 1/1000
of a second are used to capture fast moving objects
so that these can be played back sharply in slow
motion. The value selected depends on the speed of
the moving object.

Note: Increasing the exposure speed lowers the

camera sensitivity proportionally.

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 position 50 Hz and 60 Hz. Each
of these positions can be varied further in a range from

-10 to +10.

To reduce flicker select the frequency closest to the
frequency of the lights and then vary the lighting
control in the system Install menu to obtain the best
result.

Introduction

Operationally, the camera is very easy to use. However,
because of the large number of functions available
and the large number of set-up options, it may require
some time for you to become familiar with them all.
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.

System Menu On/Off
and selection button Rotary Control

Operating the Menu System Operator's Manual LDK 200 Triax 6-3

Systems Menu

The system functions of the camera are grouped into
menus and sub-menus. 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 Systems 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.

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.
(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.

Menu Structure

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 menus.

VF menu

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

Lens menu

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

Video menu

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

Install menu

This menu contains the functions that are used to set
up the general configuration of the camera. It also
contains controls to customize those switches that
are directly operated on the camera.

Files menu

This menu allows values to be stored in scene and
operator files, and allows these files to be 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.

Service menu

The advanced service menu is available to service
engineers for carrying out adjustments and calibrations
to the camera (see Technical Manual).

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 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 analogue 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 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.

Systems Menu

Operating the Menu System Operator's Manual LDK 200 Triax 6-5

Security Menu for Owner's Access

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
smart card for the camera or the PIN code that has
been set for the camera.

Note: An owner card is linked to the serial number of

the camera and is unique to that camera. It
cannot be used as an owner 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 and
a service level: user0, user1, user2, user3 and service.

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 set­up is not tampered with. User level 0 is not normally
used for operational purposes.

The service level gives access to all settings. Enter
the PIN code or insert the owner card to access the
service level. Leave the service level by removing the
owner card or if the access is provided by the PIN
code by switching the power to the camera off and on.

The appendix indicates which functions are available
at each user level.

Run Hours

This sub-menu allows the date and time to be set and
allows the running time of the camera to be viewed for
the last 30 days.

Systems Menu

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 unaurthorised
access to the Security 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 file 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.

6-6 Operator's Manual LDK 200 Triax Operating the Menu System

Files Menu Features

A user of the LDK 200 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
* 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).
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 on-air when a scene file
is recalled then the recalled values do not become
active until the camera goes off air.

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.
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.

Systems Menu

Install Menu Features

Gain

The gain can be selected in five steps: -, 0, +, ++ and
+++. The actual value of the gain in dB can be
assigned to these symbols. This is done in the Install
menu.

The "-" can be set to -6dB or -3dB.
The '0' is always 0dB.
The '+' can be set to 6, 9, 12 or 18dB .
The '++' can be set to 9, 12, 18 or 24dB.
The "+++" can be set to: 30 or 36dB

Disable camera

The disable camera function is a protection function
which prevents unathorised 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.

A-2 Camerahead Software Status 37 Appendix

The appendix contains two types of table listing the
contents of the menu system. A list of abbreviations
is also included.

The System Menu tables present the functions ordered
in the logical divisions of the menu system itself with
additional information in the columns:

• User level column
The User level column indicates the functions that
are available with different user levels.

• Values column
All available choices are listed for a function.

• Blocked if column
Lists the conditions that block the function.

• Default column
The default column lists the values of the functions
when a camera is delivered.

• Files column
The File column indicates where the value of the
function is stored; in the operator file or in the
scene file or not at all.

The second table "List of Systems Menu Functions"
contains an alphabetical list of the System menu
functions. This table is used to find the menu path to
a function and assists in navigating to that function.
