Introduction Operator's Manual LDK 23HS mkII - HS Camera System 1-1
Technology
The LDK 23HS mkII is a lightweight EFP/Studio high speed camera system which uses 2/3" frame transfer sensors with Dynamic Pixel Management (DPM).
Super Slow Motion
Unique live slow motion capability. The LDK 23 HS mkII scans at three time the normal rate. Instead of scanning at 50 Hz for PAL and 60 Hz for NTSC the LDK
23HS mkII scans at 150 Hz for PAL and 180 Hz for
NTSC.
Various preset settings for artificial light conditions ensure a slow motion picture without pulsing light effects.
Sensor technique
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 horizontal viewing angle.
Another aspect of the 2/3" DPM sensors is that there is no loss of vertical resolution between formats. They have a highlight compression/dynamic range of 400% and a high linear sensitivity over all camera lens apertures. The frame transfer technology ensures that there is no lag nor smear.
The Intelligent Continuous Automatics facility provides 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 preprocessor circuits to monitor temperature changes which, if not corrected, would alter the black level. In this way continuous automatic correction is applied without operator intervention.
Film-like characteristics
To achieve film-like quality it is necessary to emulate the softly limiting S-shaped transfer characteristics of 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 compression ratio according to the highlight content of the picture. Significant highlights lower the knee point 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 where necessary and in proportion to the highlight, and the pictures obtained have true film-like quality.
1-2
Advanced Triax Features
The Triax system allows remote control of camera up to a distance of 800 meters (1000 meter with minor performance degration). The Triax system uses YUV transmission.
The communication facilities provide for two-wire or four-wire high quality intercom signals.
The LDK 23 HS mkII is compatible with the existing
Thomson Multimedia Broadcast Solutions Series 9000
Universal Camera Control system. Base station outputs include triple and normal scan serial digital video signals.
SuperXPander
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.

This configuration is the single camera Triax (Remote) mode. In this case the camera is connected to a CPU via a Triax cable which can have a maximum length of 800 m with 14mm cable (1000 m with minor performance degradation). The CPU provides the power supply for the camera via the Triax cable. The
CPU receives its power from the AC mains supply.
The Triax cable carries R-Y, Y and B-Y video signals, two audio signals and intercom signals from the camera head to the CPU. It also carries external video signals, and intercom signals from the CPU to the camera.
Remote control of the camera when used in the Triax mode is achieved by a remote control panel of the
Series 9000 Control System. This can be an operational control panel (OCP) connected to the
CPU. The data communication between camera and
CPU is carried over the Triax cable. The control panel can also be connected directly to the camera.

The LDK 20 and LDK 200 studio cameras are of course ideal companions for the LDK 23HS mkII, however, other cameras of the Thomson Multimedia Broadcast
Solutions family such as the LDK 10p, the LDK20P and the LDK 100 can also be included in this configuration.
Note
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.

3-6 Operator's Manual LDK 23HS mkII - HS Camera System Configurations
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 order of connection is not important, however, the total length of the cables must not exceed 350 metres.
Each unit connected directly to the data bus, either
CPU, camera head or OCP, is identified by a number.
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 during installation.
The assignment number of a camera head connected to a CPU is automatically set to the number of the CPU 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 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.
The MCP is also connected to the data bus, however, it is not necessary to set an internal assignment number. The camera or cameras to be controlled are selected on the MCP front panel itself when operating the unit.
Note
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
Private Data
A private data channel is also available between the camera and the CPU. This is a two-way serial channel operating at 2400 B/s with TTL level. This channel can be used for digital data links (Refer to the Installation
Manual for more detail).
Analogue Ch0-Ch1
Two analogue control channels are available from the
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.

Main video path
When the camera is used in the triax mode, the R, G and B video signals from the sensors are first subjected to video processing and then pass to the multiplexer/ transmitter section which sends Y, R-Y and B-Y to the
CPU via the triax cable. The R, G and B video signals are available for the studio as outputs on the rear of the
CPU.
Viewfinder video
The normal signal displayed in the viewfinder is the Y signal. This is derived from the R, G and B video signals from the video processing circuits. Additional information is added to the viewfinder signal to provide superimposed text and graphics. The video signal for display in the viewfinder can be selected from the above mentioned Y signal or an external 1 or external
2 video signal. The external 1 and 2 video signal are input from the studio system to the rear of the CPU and are transmitted via the triax cable to the camera. The
Y, external 1 and external 2 video signals can be viewed separately, or Y mixed with external 1 or 2.
Output signals
The camera has four video output connectors: two on its right side and two on the backpanel. The external output connector carries the external signal from the
CPU. The monitoring out connector carries the signal which is displayed in the viewfinder.

Audio path
The back panel of the camera has two connectors for audio microphones. The signals applied to these connectors are amplified and passed to the multiplexer/ transmitter section of the camera which sends them to the CPU via the Triax cable. The amplification factor of the audio microphone signals can be selected via the control system.
Phantom power is available for the audio microphones.
The default value is +48V (refer to the installation manual for information on changing this value).
Intercom
Two intercom headsets can be connected to the camera; one for the cameraman and one for the tracker.
In the triax mode there are three intercom channels from the CPU to the camera. These carry the engineering intercom signal, the production intercom signal and the programme intercom signal. Two intercom channels from the camera to the CPU carry the tracker and cameraman intercom microphone signals. The latter can be routed in the CPU either to engineering or to production via the intercom routing switch on the camera.
The tracker headphone receives the cameraman microphone signal, the production intercom signal, the programme intercom signal and either by default the tracker microphone sidetone signal or the engineering intercom signal.
The engineering intercom signal, the production intercom signal and the programme intercom signal from the CPU are all available for the cameraman headset. The volume of these signals can be adjusted and can be switched to either the right or left side of the headset. The tracker microphone can also be switched to the left side. The cameraman microphone sidetone signal is always present on the left side. The volume of this signal can also be adjusted.

This section describes the operational functions that are directly available, via the viewfinder display and the switches at the front and front-left.
System Menu Rotary control
Standard settings
To ensure that some of the camera functions are not set to unusual values a standard file has been defined in the factory which contains the normal values for most functions. The table in the appendix lists the values that are set when the standard file is recalled.
System Menu Select button
Standard file button
The rotary control and select button at the front of the camera offer a convenient way of accessing the menu system which provides full control of the camera. But there are a number of steps that must be carried out before satisfactory shot 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.
d. Shots of TVs or monitors must have special consideration.
e. In Artificial light conditions use preset lighting settings to ensure a slow motion picture without pulsing light effects.
Physical set-up and power supply
Attach lens, viewfinder and microphone to the camera as described in 'Assembling the Units' in Section 2. If required mount the camera on a tripod.
For remote operation 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 1 or
2 socket on the rear panel of the camera. For remote operation the camera is powered by the CPU via the triax cable. Set the power switch on the rear of the camera to the position REMOTE.
The camera is now ready for use, however, the ambient conditions must now be taken into account and the appropriate adjustments make.
Press the green STD File button on the left side panel of the camera and hold it for 3 seconds to recall the standard values for the various functions. The standard values only take effect when the camera is not On Air.
Note
The MCP can be used to set the standard scene file to either the factory standard or a customer defined standard.

Auto-White Balance
If the three preset colour temperatures do not match your lighting conditions then the auto-white procedure must be carried out as follows:
Automatic white balance button
Clean Scan
The camera does not have a ‘clean scan’ facility.
Although it is possible to select a variable exposure time between 151/181 to 829 Hz, it is not possible to increase it above the nominal setting (1/150 of 1/180).
Therefore, it is not possible to eliminate the horizontal bars when shooting monitors with this camera because their refresh rates are below 150Hz.
Colour temperature up/down selection switch a. First select one of the memory positions AW1 or
AW2 in which to store the measured colour temperature value with the colour temperature up/ down switch.
b. Press the AWB button on the front/left side of the camera to start the automatic white balance procedure. The autowhite window appears in the viewfinder.
Autowh Win
c. Point the camera to fill the window with a reference white object.
d. Press the AWB button again to start the actual automatic white balance measurement procedure.
The Autowh indicator in the viewfinder is now On.
e. When the process is completed (within a few seconds) the Autowh indicator in the viewfinder changes to Off. 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
Iris is set to 90% during the auto-white process and knee is turned off automatically.

The alternating light amplitude causes different video levels for the three fields. This effect is only visible during slow motion replay. The field flickering will not appear in the Normal Scan output. The LDK 23HS mkII uses various preset settings to accommodate various artificial lighting conditions.

5-6 Operator's Manual LDK 23HS mkII - HS Camera System Shooting
Presets for artificial lighting conditions
The alternating light amplitude may cause flickering in 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). The camera systems submenu Install \ 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's Manual of your MCP as required for detailed information how to set these presets.
Use the 5 presets are tuning the high speed camera to accommodate 5 gradations of lighting conditions as follows:
Optimal
Optimal (Opt) is the default preset. This preset is used in daylight and in non-alternating or high-frequency artificial lighted environments. Each field has the same video level and Flicker reduction is not necessarily.
Good
Use the Good (Goo) preset in artificial lighting conditions with minor amplitude changes. Examples are enviroments lighted with incandescent or wellbalanced 3-phase light. Use also this preset in daylight if aditional artificial light with an alternating effect is used.
Fair
The Fair (Fai) preset is used in artificial light conditions with significant light amplitude changes. For example, fluorescent lighted enviroments.
Poor
This preset (Poo) is used with artificial light, which has a major light amplitude change. Examples are enviroments lighted with HMI, MHD, gas discharge lamps or neon light.
Switching to the Poor preset results in a almost flicker free picture. In most cases this will be the preset to start with if flicker is visable in the Optimal preset.
Fine- tune the light accommodation by switching to the Poor or Fair presets if other artifacts become noticeable.
Extreme
This preset (Ext) results in a 100% flicker free picture with an increased amount of motion blur. Use only this 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.
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.

Operating the Menu System
Because the LDK 23HS mkII offers such a wide range of functions, this section describes the structure of the control system. It contains procedures for controlling the menu system and explains how to program the menu system for your personal preferences. The menu structure and the methods of function selection are also explained.

Operating the Menu System Operator's Manual LDK 23HS mkII - HS Camera System 6-1
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.
6-2 Operator's Manual LDK 23HS mkII - HS Camera System Operating the Menu System
Systems Menu
The system functions of the camera are grouped into menus and sub-menus.
System Menu Rotary control
System Menu Select button
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 MAIN menu screen shows five items. One more item is hidden but becomes visible when you scroll down using the rotary control. (Some of these items may not appear if the user level is not set to 4.)
Operate
Setup
VF/Lens

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.
Operating the Menu System Operator's Manual LDK 23HS mkII - HS Camera System
When you first enter a menu (other than the MAIN menu) the cursor is positioned next to the first item.
The TOP and PREVIOUS entries are not immediately visible but are located above the first item. Use the
Rotary control to scroll up to them.
Select TOP to bring you back to the MAIN menu.
Select PREVIOUS to go back to the menu that you were in before the current one.

The Operate menu above shows the items displayed when you first enter the menu and the other items that are available by scrolling up or down with the Rotary control.
Leaving the Systems Menu
If you do not use the menu it disappears after a few seconds. (This delay can be set at the VF / Txt Time item in the Install 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. Set the menu item at the VF / Txt Time item in the Install menu to On and the menu will not time out. Set this item back to Tim to let the menu disapear after time out.
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).
6-3
Making changes
To find out where you have to go to change a function, consult the appendix to discover under which menu group or subgroup 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.
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.
Menu numbers
The main menus are numbered from 1 to 6. Each main function under the main menu is given a second 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.
The first digit refers to the main menu
1 for Operate
2 for Setup
3 for VF/Lens
4 for Install
5 for Files
6 for Diagnostics
The second digit refers to the function under the main menu. A third digit, if present, refers to the subfunction. This numbering system is used to assign particular functions to the programmable user switches when they are being customized.
The menu number appears under and to the left of the menu display.
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.
Menu logic
Operate menu
This menu contains the functions which are normally used during the operation of the camera.
Setup menu
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 operate menu.
6-4 Operator's Manual LDK 23HS mkII - HS Camera System Operating the Menu System
VF/Lens menu
As the name indicates, the functions contained under this menu control various aspects of the viewfinder and the lens.
Install menu
This menu contains functions which are used to install the camera into a particular configuration. It also contains controls which can be used to customize the
LCD and viewfinder displays and to assign particular switches on the camera according to your preferences.
Files menu
This menu allows function values to be stored in scene files and recalled as required.
Diagnostic menu
The diagnostic menu is designed to provide information on the current status of the camera.
Menu Install Features
User level
The user level function in the Install menu determines what is displayed in the menus. For example, for user 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.
The purpose of the four 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.
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.
The maximum user level set on the MCP, restricts the number of user levels available on the camera.
Gain
The gain can be selected in four 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 in steps of 3dB between 0dB and the value of '++'.
The '++' can also be set in steps of 3dB between the value of '+' and 30dB.
Note
The '+' and '++' steps can not have the same value.
Files
The files menu enables four different scene files to be stored and recalled. 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 switches off-air.

The appendix contains two tables listing the contents of the menu system.
The first table presents the functions ordered in the logical divisions of the menu system itself. The table is colour coded to represent the functions that are available with different user levels. All available choices are listed for a function. The default (Def) column lists the values of the functions when a camera is delivered.
If the requirements listed in the column 'Available if...' are not met, the value of the particular function will be displayed as a triple dash (---) or a value can not be set.
The second table contains an alphabetical list of the menu functions. This table is used to find the menu number of a function to assist in navigating to that function.
