Technology  
The LDK 23HS mkII is a lightweight EFP/Studio high  
speedcamerasystemwhichuses2/3"frametransfer  
sensors with Dynamic Pixel Management (DPM).  
AdvancedTriaxFeatures  
The Triax system allows remote control of camera up  
to a distance of 800 meters (1000 meter with minor  
performancedegration). TheTriaxsystemusesYUV  
transmission.  
Super Slow Motion  
Unique live slow motion capability. The LDK 23 HS  
mkII scans at three time the normal rate. Instead of  
scanningat50HzforPALand60HzforNTSCtheLDK  
23HS mkII scans at 150 Hz for PAL and 180 Hz for  
NTSC.  
The communication facilities provide for two-wire or  
four-wire high quality intercom signals.  
The LDK 23 HS mkII is compatible with the existing  
ThomsonMultimediaBroadcastSolutionsSeries9000  
UniversalCameraControlsystem.Basestationoutputs  
include triple and normal scan serial digital video  
signals.  
Various preset settings for artificial light conditions  
ensure a slow motion picture without pulsing light  
effects.  
Sensortechnique  
SuperXPander  
Frame Transfer Dynamic Pixel Management allows  
the format of the sensors to be switched between 4:3  
and 16:9 aspect ratio at the touch of a switch without  
loss of horizontal resolution. The 1000 pixels per line  
in both formats ensures that there is no loss in  
horizontalviewingangle.  
The optional LDK 4482 SuperXpander enables the  
camera to be used with large lenses so extending the  
camera's use in studio and EFP situations.  
Another aspect of the 2/3" DPM sensors is that there  
isnolossofverticalresolutionbetweenformats.They  
haveahighlightcompression/dynamicrangeof400%  
and a high linear sensitivity over all camera lens  
apertures.Theframetransfertechnologyensuresthat  
there is no lag nor smear.  
TheIntelligentContinuousAutomaticsfacilityprovides  
automatic control of black levels and black shading.  
Each DPM sensor has two lines of sensor elements  
that are protected from incoming light and therefore  
give a true indication of black. The black reference  
signal that they provide is used in the camera  
preprocessorcircuitstomonitortemperaturechanges  
which, if not corrected, would alter the black level. In  
this way continuous automatic correction is applied  
withoutoperatorintervention.  
Film-likecharacteristics  
To achieve film-like quality it is necessary to emulate  
thesoftlylimitingS-shapedtransfercharacteristicsof  
film. This is done by compressing the TV camera's  
near linear characteristics above a certain point, the  
knee. The pivoting knee circuit of the LDK 23HS mkII  
camera system adapts both the knee point and the  
compressionratioaccordingtothehighlightcontentof  
thepicture.Significanthighlightslowerthekneepoint  
to give more room for compression, while minor  
highlights only affect the upper part of the transfer  
characteristic. Signals below the knee point remain  
unaffected. As a result, compression is only applied  
wherenecessaryandinproportiontothehighlight,and  
the pictures obtained have true film-like quality.

Note  
ThisconfigurationisthemultiplecameraTriaxmode.  
The camera is connected to a CPU as in the single  
camera Triax mode. The data bus is looped-through  
from CPU to CPU's, Base Stations, OCP's and MCP.  
The OCP's (Operational Control Panels) are used to  
controlthecamerasandaMCP(masterControlPanel)  
can also be connected to extend the control facilities.  
A maximum of 15 looped-trough standard camera  
systems in one chain can be handeld, however, in a  
multiple system the load of a LDK 23 HS (mkII) is  
twice the load of a standard camera so with level 1  
communication software the system can handle a  
maximum of 8 LDK23 HS (mkII) camera's.  
TheLDK20andLDK200studiocamerasareofcourse  
ideal companions for the LDK 23HS mkII, however,  
othercamerasoftheThomsonMultimediaBroadcast  
Solutions family such as the LDK 10p, the LDK20P  
and the LDK 100 can also be included in this  
configuration.

Two-wire Data Control Bus  
The two-wire data bus is used to connect all control  
units in the Series 9000 control system. The data  
cable loops-through from one unit to the other. The  
orderofconnectionisnotimportant,however,thetotal  
length of the cables must not exceed 350 metres.  
A camera connected directly to the data bus must  
have its assignment number set to the number set on  
the OCP that is to control it. It is important to set a  
unique number for each CPU/OCP or camera/OCP  
group as unpredictable control situations could arise  
otherwise.  
Each unit connected directly to the data bus, either  
CPU, cameraheadorOCP, isidentifiedbyanumber.  
In order to ensure, for example, that OCP 1 controls  
the camera connected to CPU 1, the same unique  
number must be assigned to both OCP 1 and CPU 1.  
The assignment number is set internally on the units  
duringinstallation.  
TheMCPisalsoconnectedtothedatabus, however,  
it is not necessary to set an internal assignment  
number. The camera or cameras to be controlled are  
selectedontheMCPfrontpanelitselfwhenoperating  
the unit.  
Note  
Theassignmentnumberofacameraheadconnected  
toaCPUisautomaticallysettothenumberoftheCPU  
to which it is connected. The number on the CPU,  
which is connected to the data bus, must be set to the  
number of the control panel that is to control it.  
A maximum of 15 looped-trough standard camera  
systems in one chain can be handeld, however, in a  
multiple system the load of a LDK 23 HS (mkII) is  
twice the load of a standard camera so with level 1  
communication software the system can handle a  
maximum of 8 LDK23 HS (mkII) camera's.  
Other Control Features  
PrivateData  
A private data channel is also available between the  
cameraandtheCPU.Thisisatwo-wayserialchannel  
operatingat2400B/swithTTLlevel.Thischannelcan  
be used for digital data links (Refer to the Installation  
Manual for more detail).  
AnalogueCh0-Ch1  
Twoanaloguecontrolchannelsareavailablefromthe  
CPU to the camera. These provide a control voltage  
from 0V to +5V that can be used for pan control for  
example. For more information on these channels  
refer to the Installation Manual.  
Note  
If the analogue Ch1 is used to switch externally the  
Aspect Ratio, Ch 1 is not available for analoque  
signals from the CPU to the camera.

Optical filter selection  
Colour temperature selection  
A filter can be placed in the path of the optical signal  
to restrict the incoming light or for artistic effect.  
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).  
Twootherreferencecolourtemperaturesareavailable;  
5600K (for outdoors, clouded conditions) and 7500K  
(for outdoors, clear blue skies). Two similar memory  
positions (AW1 and AW2) are available to store the  
results of the auto-white measurement process.

Presets for artificial lighting conditions  
Extreme  
This preset (Ext) results in a 100% flicker free picture  
withanincreasedamountofmotionblur.Useonlythis  
setting in lighting conditions with extreme light  
amplitudes. This preset activates a flicker reduction  
technique different from technique used in the Good,  
Fair and Poor presets. It's drawback is that is has an  
increased amount of motion blur.  
Thealternatinglightamplitudemaycauseflickeringin  
at the Triple Scan output. There are 5 presets to  
accommodate different artificial lighting conditions.  
There are two ways to set the lighting presets; The  
camera systems menu and the MCP (Master Control  
Panel).ThecamerasystemssubmenuInstall\Lighting  
contains the item Advanced. Set the Advanced item  
to the required preset to accommodate the artificial  
lighting condition. The MCP (Master Control Panel)  
gives access to the preset settings. Consult the  
Operator'sManualofyourMCPasrequiredfordetailed  
information how to set these presets.  
Note  
For fundamental reasons, it is not recommended  
that a PAL camera (50Hz) is used in conjunction  
with 60Hz lighting. Similarly, it is not recommended  
that an NTSC camera (60Hz) is used in conjunction  
with 50Hz lighting.

Making changes  
Menu numbers  
Tofindoutwhereyouhavetogotochangeafunction,

located.  
The main menus are numbered from 1 to 6. Each  
mainfunctionunderthemainmenuisgivenasecond  
digit (for example, the Gain under the Operate menu  
is given number 11, the Black function 12). In some  
cases a third level number is given. For example, the

If the value is unavailable it cannot be changed. This  
is indicated by three dashes (---). This can occur, for  
example,whenafunctionisswitchedoff.Theanalogue

unavailable.  
Theseconddigitreferstothefunctionunderthemain  
menu. A third digit, if present, refers to the sub-  
function. This numbering system is used to assign  
particularfunctionstotheprogrammableuserswitches  
when they are being customized.  
If there are only two values associated with the  
function, then pressing the Select button toggles  
between these two values.  
Themenunumberappearsunderandtotheleftofthe  
menu display.  
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  
pointtoanewvalue. PresstheSelectbuttontoreturn  
the cursor to the function list.  
Note  
Do not confuse the menu number with the line  
numbers. Because of the TOP and PREVIOUS  
menu items, the menu numbers are 2 less than the  
line numbers. This is not the case for the Main  
menus as there are no TOP and PREVIOUS items  
available in the TOP menu itself. The TOP menu  
shows five main menu items initially. If you scroll  
through the display, one additional menus appears.  
To see how many lines a menu has, look at the  
number under and to the right of the menu. This  
number, for example, 1-7 indicates that the cursor  
is at line 1 and that there are 7 lines altogether.  
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.  
Menu logic  
Operate menu  
This menu contains the functions which are normally  
used during the operation of the camera.  
Menu Structure

There is one top menu which contains six main  
menus. The numbering scheme and the reasons for  
grouping the functions under these heading is  
explained below. For a full list of menu functions refer  
to the table in the appendix.  
The setup menu contains those functions which are  
initialized before starting shooting. In many cases  
these are the individual (R, G and B) analogue setup  
parameters of functions which are switched in the

User level  
TheuserlevelfunctionintheInstallmenudetermines  
whatisdisplayedinthemenus. Forexample, foruser  
level 4, the Top menu contains 6 Main menus.  
However, for user level 1 the Top menu only shows  
the VF/Lens and Install menus.  
Thepurposeofthefouruserlevelsistorestricttheset  
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 division of the levels was decided using the  
following criteria:  
1. Video related functions blocked.  
2. All video related functions that can be checked on  
a black & white monitor can be controlled.  
3. All video related functions that can be checked on  
a colour monitor can be controlled.  
4. All functions can be controlled.
