Technology  
The LDK 200 Triax camera combines a multi-role  
digitalcameraheadusing2/3-inchCCDsensorswith  
a triax adapter. The result is a flexible camera that is  
equally at home in the studio or out on location in an  
OBenvironment.  
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 S-  
shaped transfer characteristics of film. Digital True  
Colour Knee circuitry maintains the correct hue for  
compressedhighlights,reproducingcoloursfaithfully,  
even overexposed skin tones.  
Camera Head  
TheFrameTransferCCDDPMsensorofferssuperior  
performanceandcanhandlehighlightsofupto600%.  
The2/3-inchsensorshaveahighdynamicrangeand  
high linear sensitivity over all camera lens apertures.  
Frame Transfer technology ensures that there is no  
lagnorsmear. TheFrameTransferDPMsensoruses  
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  
lineinbothformatsensuresthatthereisnolossinthe  
horizontalviewinganglebutalsoensureshighresolution  
in the red, green and blue channels.  
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  
(7,875feet). TheTriaxsystemusesfullbandwidthR,  
G and B signals. The double sideband modulation  
provides automatic compensation of the amplitude  
characteristics of each video channel. This results in  
thebestpossiblelinearity,lowercrosstalkandhigher  
signal to noise over the maximum cable length. The  
chromakeyqualityisexcellentastheprimarycolours  
donothavetobederived.Telepromptandviewfinder  
signals maintain high performance even with long  
cable lengths.  
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 communication facilities provide for two-wire or  
four-wire high quality intercom signals.  
Theintelligentcontinuousautomaticsfacilityprovides  
automatic control of black levels and black shading.  
Eachsensorprovidesblackreferencesignalsthatare  
used to monitor temperature changes. This means  
thatcontinuousautomaticcorrectionisappliedwithout  
operatorintervention.  
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. Basestationoutputscanincludeanoptional  
serial digital video signal.  
The digital contour processing uses full amplitude  
video RGB signals via an extended dynamic range  
contour circuit.  
SuperXPander

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.  
TheLightingcategoryprovidesthreedifferentfilesfor

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  
noton-air.  
Extreme contrast uses the full dynamic range of  
the FT CCD sensor to obtain better handling of  
highlights and more detail in the shadows.  
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.

Shooting Screens  
SometimeswhenshootingTVsorcomputermonitors  
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  
framefrequencyasthecamera,forexampleTVsets,  
use the V-shift facility. For displays with a higher  
framefrequency,forexamplecomputermonitors,use  
the Clean Scan facility.  
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.  
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.  
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

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  
intheviewfinder.Thisfunctionisonlyactivewhenthe

Exposure Time  
Theexposuretimevaluesof1/200,1/500and1/1000  
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

pressingtheSelectbuttonbringsyouonelevellower  
in the menu system. Only five items are visible in  
each menu. Scroll up or down to see any additional  
items.  
This is the recommended way of leaving the System  
menu.  
If you do not use the menu it disappears after a few  
seconds. (This delay can be programmed in the VF  
menu.) However, when you press the Select button  
again you enter the System menu at the last position  
of the cursor and not at the top of MAIN menu.  
When you first enter a menu (other than the MAIN  
menu) the cursor is positioned next to the first item.  
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 off.

Security Menu for Owner's Access  
PIN Code  
The Security menu provides restricted access to  
special set-up and security features of the camera.  
The PIN code of the camera can be viewed and  
changed in the Security menu.  
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.  
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.  
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.

A customer standard file can be defined for the

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  
fileforuseasastandardfileisalsomadeinthismenu.  
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.  
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  
usedforoperationalpurposes.  
The service level gives access to all settings. Enter

A user of the LDK 200 camera can have access to 15  
differentfiles. Thisnumbercanbeextendedbyusing  
additional scene file smart cards. The Files menu is  
used to recall and store these files. There are two  
types of file:  
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.  
* scene files  
* operator files.  
The "-" can be set to -6dB or -3dB.  
The '0' is always 0dB.  
A scene file contains values related to the picture  
performance.Theoperatorfilecontainsvaluesrelated  
to the set-up of the camera (viewfinder, lens and  
installationparameters).  
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  
The appendix indicates the functions that are stored  
inthescenefileandthosefunctionsthatarestoredin  
an operator file.  
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.  
Scene files  
Four scene files are stored in the camera itself  
(SCAM1,SCAM2,SCAM3andSCAM4).Anotherfour  
scenefilescanbestoredonthesmartcard(SCARD1,  
SCARD2,SCARD3andSCARD4).  
ASTANDARDscenefile(preselectedaseitherfactory

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
