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.

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

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.
Use the 5 presets are tuning the high speed camera
toaccommodate5gradationsoflightingconditionsas

Making changes
Menu numbers
Tofindoutwhereyouhavetogotochangeafunction,
consult the appendix to discover under which menu
group or subgroup the function you want to change is
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
skin function of the contour function of the Setup
menu has number 256.
Ifthecursorpointstoanitem(andtherearenodouble
arrows to indicate a sub-menu) then the item pointed
to has a value. The value can be:
The first digit refers to the main menu

If the value is unavailable it cannot be changed. This
is indicated by three dashes (---). This can occur, for
example,whenafunctionisswitchedoff.Theanalogue
values associated with that function are then
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

Menu Structure
Setup menu
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
