Technology  
The LDK 100 Triax camera combines a multi-role

chromakeyqualityisexcellentastheprimarycolours  
donothavetobederived. Telepromptandviewfinder  
signals maintain high performance even with long  
cable lengths.  
DigitalProcessing  
The communication facilities provide for two-wire or  
four-wire high quality intercom signals.  
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  
camerafunctionsinthedigitaldomain,includingknee,  
gamma, contour, matrix and colour correction.  
The LDK 100 Triax is plug compatible with existing  
ThomsonMultimediaBroadcastSolutionsbasestations  
and full camera control is provided via Series 9000  
UniversalCameraControlsystem.Basestationoutputs  
can include an optional serial digital video signal.  
Theintelligentcontinuousautomaticsfacilityprovides  
automatic control of black levels and black shading.  
Eachsensorprovidesblackreferencesignalsthatare  
used to monitor temperature changes. This means  
thatcontinuousautomaticcorrectionisappliedwithout  
operatorintervention.  
SuperXPander  
An optional SuperXpander enables the camera to be  
usedwithlargelensessoextendingthecamera'suse  
in studio and EFP situations.  
The digital contour processing uses full amplitude  
video RGB signals via an extended dynamic range  
contour circuit.  
CameraHeadVersions  
The camera head can be supplied in three different  
versions depending on the type of sensor required.  
Colorimetryisselectedbymeansofavariable6-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  
sequenceissoftwareprogrammableforprecisecolour  
matching.

Film-likecharacteristics  
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 S-  
shaped transfer characteristics of film. Digital True  
Colour Knee circuitry maintains the correct hue for  
compressedhighlights,reproducingcoloursfaithfully,  
even overexposed skin tones.  
The Interline Transfer sensor version is a very cost-  
effective camcorder that still provides superior digital  
signalprocessing.  
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.  
The Interline Transfer Wide (ITW) Switchable sensor  
version is fitted with switchable aspect ratio IT CCD  
sensors.Thisversionenablestheformatofthesensors  
to be switched between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios at  
the touch of a switch. Aspect ratio switching to 4:3  
ratio is achieved by activating two horizontal side  
panels.  
AdvancedTriaxFeatures  
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

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).

Shooting Screens  
SometimeswhenshootingTVsorcomputermonitors  
a horizontal black bar can be seen across those  
screens in the viewfinder. There are two ways of  
removingthenoisebarfromthepicturedependingon  
the frame frequency of the display. For displays with  
thesameframefrequencyasthecamera,forexample  
TV sets, use the V-shift facility. For displays with a  
higher frame frequency, for example computer  
monitors, use the Clean Scan facility.  
V-SHIFT  
The vertical shift switch (V-SHIFT) at the front of the  
camera is used for displays with the same frame  
frequencyasthecamera,forexampleTVsets.Itisan  
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.  
Clean Scan  
Carry out the Clean Scan function as follows:  
a. press the Clean Scan button at the front of the  
camcorderforabouttwosecondstodirectlyaccess  
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.  
CRT Exposure [FT]  
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.  
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.  
Whenyouarefinishedshootingthemonitorpressthe  
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 FT cameras 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 FT cameras in Extended mode are:  
from 50.6 to 103.1 for 50Hz cameras  
from 61.1 to 151 for 60Hz cameras  
The ranges for IT cameras are:  
from 50.1 to 103.1 for 50Hz cameras  
from 60.1 to 151 for 60Hz cameras  
Note  
IT cameras are only using the extended mode.

Exposure Time  
Theexposuretimevaluesof1/200,1/500and1/1000  
(also 1/2000 for IT) 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. With IT cameras shorter  
exposure times increases smear effects  
proportionally.  
The exposure selection also includes lighting control  
positions which can be used when shooting with  
lightingthatisoperatingatadifferentfrequencytothe  
camera. There are two positions 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.

Security Menu for Owner's Access  
Run Hours  
The Security menu provides restricted access to  
special set-up and security features of the camera.  
This sub-menu allows the date and time to be set and  
allowstherunningtimeofthecameratobeviewedfor  
the last 30 days.  
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.  
PIN Code  
The PIN code of the camera can be viewed and  
changed in the Security menu.  
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.  
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  
ensuresaddedprotectionagainstunauthorizedaccess  
to the Security menu.  
Inserting the owner card into the camera gives direct  
accesstothesecuritymenu.IfyouselecttheSecurity

correctPINcodetogainaccesstotheSecuritymenu.

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 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  
uniformcontrolcanbeachievedandthedangerofthe  
camera operator accidentally changing critical  
functions while shooting is reduced.  
The contents of the customer files for both these  
standard files is stored via the security menu. The

fileforuseasastandardfileisalsomadeinthismenu.  
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 service level gives access to all settings. Enter

Files Menu Features  
Operator files  
A user of the LDK 100 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.  
TheFilesmenualsoallowstherecalloftheopererator  
file stored in the camera (OCAM1) or one of the two  
operator files (OCARD1 and OCARD2) stored on the  
smartcard. Thesefilescontaininformationforsetting  
up the non-video configuration of the camera.  
There are two types of file:  
* scene files  
A STANDARD operator files (factory or customer  
defined) is stored in the camera.  
* operator files.  
A scene file contains values related to the picture  
performance.Theoperatorfilecontainsvaluesrelated  
to the set-up of the camera (viewfinder, lens and  
installation parameters).  
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.  
The appendix indicates the functions that are stored  
in the scene file and those functions that are stored in  
an operator file.  
Scene files  
Install Menu Features  
Four scene files are stored in the camera itself  
(SCAM1,SCAM2,SCAM3andSCAM4).Anotherfour  
scenefilescanbestoredonthesmartcard(SCARD1,  
SCARD2, SCARD3 and SCARD4).  
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.  
ASTANDARDscenefile(preselectedaseitherfactory  
or customer defined) is stored in the camera.  
The "-" can be set to -6dB or -3dB.  
The '0' is always 0dB.  
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 '+' 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 [FT]  
30, 36 or 42dB [IT].  
The Files menu enables the scene files to be stored  
and recalled using the store and recall entries of the  
menu system.  
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.  
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.  
Aspect Ratio  
The aspect ratio function is only available with  
switchable cameras. Aspect ratio values of 16:9 or  
4:3 can be selected. If the loc/ext value is set to Ext,  
theaspectratiocanbeswitchedbyanexternalsignal
