Introduction to sinaCAM sinaCAM
5. Introduction to sinaCAM
sinaCAM is a small remote head HD studio camera system for professional 2D/3D broadcast and cinema production.
Two signals of two sinaCAM remote heads are processed by the same image processor. This enables:
–
Pixel synchronous 3D output
–
Identical image properties, like white balance, brightness and contrast
C-mount threads and the option to adjust the back focus by changing the flange back distance make it possible to use C-mount lenses for professional production.
A choice of professional accessories, such as different battery adaptors, lens adaptors, lens accessories, handles, mounting plates and a carrying case increases application possibilities.

Installation
Calculation of Maximum Cable Length
The maximum cable length between remote camera heads and base unit is limited by the signal attenuation and the conductor DC resistance of the used cable type.
Maximum cable length as limited by signal attenuation (rule of thumb):
Max. cable length = 25 dB / attenuation at 1.5 GHz
Maximum cable length as limited by conductor DC resistance (rule of thumb):
Max. cable length = 8 Ω / conductor DC resistance
Example calculation for Belden 1505F Flexible cable:
–
Nom. attenuation at 1.5 GHz: 13.300 dB / 100 ft
–
Nom. conductor DC resistance: 12.2 Ω / 1000 ft
Max. cable length = 25 dB / (13.300 dB /100 ft) = ~ 188 ft (57 m)
Max. cable length = 8 Ω / (12.2 Ω / 1000 ft) = ~ 656 ft (200 m)
The lower of the two values determines the approximate maximum cable length, in this example 188 ft
(57 m).
Connecting the Hardware
Make sure that all hardware to be installed is switched off.
Connect all hardware to the base unit.
Switch on all hardware and the base unit.

Installation
sinaCAM as Part of a GenLock Chain
GenLock is used to synchronize multiple cameras to ensure that all cameras in a synchronization chain begin reading the first pixel of an image from the sensor at the same time. The system needs a clocking component that provides the synchronization data – currently, sinaCAM cannot provide a clock itself.
Multiple sinaCAMs can be daisy-chained. The last camera in a chain must terminate the signal.
The input accepts standard analog SD/HD video signals (NTSC, PAL, 480p, 576p, 720p, and
1080i/p/psF) with either bi-level (black bursts) or tri-level sync. sinaCAM supports GenLock for CVBS, Y (luma) from Y/C and YPbPr and G (sync on green) from GBR as specified in the following video standards:
Composite Video (CVBS) and S-Video (Y/C):
–
SDTV: SMPTE 170M (NTSC), ITU-R BT.470 (PAL)

7.9 Installing Lenses
Attach C-mount lenses, suitable for 2/3 ” CCD cameras, to the standard C-mount thread of the remote heads.
In case of B4-mount or PL-mount lenses use the corresponding adapters (option).
7.10 Adjusting the Lens Scale Position
Depending on filming situations, it can be necessary to equip a lens at a different angle than usual for the lens scale to remain readable. For this, sinaCAM remote camera heads support 12 different positions for the lens mount, each 30° apart. The lens mount is held in the chosen position by the lens mount lock, with the lens scale on top by default.
Figure 13: Adjusting the Lens Scale Position
User Manual
To adjust the lens scale position follow these steps:
Remove the screw from the lens mount lock’s lower screw hole, then partially screw it into the upper one (1).
Note: The screw will not go all the way in.
Grip the screw head to pull out the lens mount lock (2).
Make sure the locking lever is in the open position (3).
You can now adjust the position of the lens (4).
Note: Inside, the lens mount is equipped with 12 holes (each 30° apart) for the lens mount lock.
Choose one of the valid positions, then reinsert the lens mount lock (5) to fix the lens mount in its place.
Move the screw back into the lower screw hole of the lens mount lock and tighten it (6).
Then move the locking lever back into the closed position (7).

Installation sinaCAM
7.11 Adjusting the Flange Back Distance
If the focus is sharp when zoomed in, but soft when zoomed out, the back focus may need adjustment. sinaCAM remote heads allow for easy back focus adjustment by changing the flange back distance between the rear of the lens and the CCD. Use typical back-focusing techniques, e. g. a test chart or a back focus collimator.
NOTICE
Wrong flange back distance adjustment can cause unsatisfactory shooting quality. Flange back distance adjustment should only be performed by experts.
Figure 14: Flange Back Distance Adjustment
To adjust the flange back distance follow these steps:
Lift up the locking lever (A).
Turn the adjustment ring (B) until the flange back distance is accurately set
(± 1 rotation = ±250 µm):
–
To decrease the distance turn to the right (-).
–
To increase the distance turn to the left (+).
Push down the locking lever.
Check the adjustment with a control measurement.

9.2.1 FPS (Frames Per Second)
This value affects the sensor frame rate together with the HD-SDI link speed and link format. With the
May 2012 firmware update, this field also offers the choice between the sinaCAM's standard full HD resolution (1920×1080) and 720p modes (1280×720).
Note: Not all formats can be transmitted over a single HD-SDI link. At the default full HD resolution
(1920×1080), frame rates above 30 progressive frames per second need dual-link HD-SDI. The respective
FPS settings are marked with "DL" at the end.
Available settings:
Selectable sensor frame rates are 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 48 (not with 720p!), 50, 59.94 and 60 frames per second. For some sensor frame rates, a selection of several link formats can be selected. Their characteristics are listed below:
9.2.1.1 i (interlaced)
Interlaced video is a technique of packing two subsequent sensor frames into two fields at half vertical resolution. The first field contains all odd numbered lines of the first frame; the second field contains all even numbered lines of the second frame. With this technique it is possible to transmit double sensor frame rates over single-link HD-SDI, but with the probability to perceive "combing" motion artifacts on progressive displays. Select among:
50i: interlaced video field rate for productions targeting 50 Hz television systems
59.9i: interlaced video field rate for productions targeting 59.94 Hz television systems
60i: interlaced video field rate for productions targeting 60 Hz television systems
26 Rev.: E User Manual
sinaCAM The Menus
9.2.1.2 p (progressive) / pDL (progressive Dual-Link)
Progressive video is a technique of transmitting all horizontal lines of an image at one time as a single frame. This format is recommended as a high quality mastering format.
24p / 48pDL: progressive frame rates for productions targeting 24 Hz film systems. Be aware that
48pDL needs dual-link HD-SDI cabling and equipment.
23.9p: progressive frame rate for productions targeting both 24 Hz film and 29.97 Hz video systems
25p / 50p(DL): progressive frame rates targeting 50 Hz television systems. Be aware that 50pDL needs dual-link HD-SDI cabling and equipment.
29.9p / 59.9p(DL): progressive frame rates targeting 59.94 Hz television systems. Be aware that
59.9pDL needs dual-link HD-SDI cabling and equipment.
30p / 60p(DL): progressive frame rates targeting 60 Hz television systems. Be aware that 60pDL needs dual-link HD-SDI cabling and equipment.
9.2.1.3 psf (progressive segmented frame)
Progressive video segmented frame is a technique of packing all horizontal lines of an image into two fields at half vertical resolution. The first field contains all odd numbered lines of the frame; the second field contains all even numbered lines of the frame.
This allows making high quality progressive material available for equipment that only accepts interlaced signals.
24psf: progressive segmented frame rate for productions targeting 24 Hz film systems.
23.9psf: progressive segmented frame rates for productions targeting both 24 Hz film and 29.97 Hz video systems
25psf: progressive segmented frame rate targeting 50 Hz television systems.
29.9psf: progressive frame rate targeting 59.94 Hz television systems.
30psf: progressive segmented frame rate targeting 60 Hz television systems.
9.2.2 Shutter
sinaCAM is equipped with an electronic shutter that reduces the exposure time in order to reduce motion blur.
Available settings:
FULL; 1/50; 1/60; 1/125; 1/250; 1/500; 1/1000; 1/2000; 1/5000
9.2.2.1 FULL
By selecting FULL the exposure time is determined by sensor frame rate. E.g., the combination of
FPS = 25p and Shutter = FULL leads to 1/25 sec = 40 ms exposure time.
9.2.2.2 1/50; 1/60; 1/125; 1/250; 1/500; 1/1000; 1/2000; 1/5000
By selecting one of these values, the exposure time is electronically limited. The values are measured in seconds. E.g., 1/500 sec = 2 ms exposure time.
Please note that the exposure time cannot exceed the time derived from the selected frame rate. E.g., a frame rate of 60 fps will lead to an exposure time of 1/60 sec = 16.7 ms, even if the Shutter setting is
1/50 sec = 20 ms.

9.2.5 Gamma & CM (Color Management)
The Gamma & CM menu item defines the color space encoding that is applied to the output image. The sinaCAM base unit comes with presets for Rec. 709 and S-Log-based gamma correction. It is possible to
add customized gamma look-up tables (LUT) via the web interface (see chapter 10.2.5 Change Gamma
LUT). Both legacy and extended color space output can be selected for standard LUTs. Additionally,
broadcast color space is supported in for two settings designed for use with a remote control panel. sinaCAM’s output values for legacy and extended color space adhere to the standard for HD video in
10-bit systems as defined in SMPTE 274M.
For legacy color space:
64-940 for Y and 64-960 for Cb and Cr.
For extended color space (called undershoot/overshoot in SMPTE 274M):
4-1019 for YCbCr.
For broadcast color space:
64-1019 for YCbCr.
Note that the difference between legacy and extended color space mainly affects how the resulting footage has to be interpreted. A common misconception is that using extended color space provides a higher dynamic range – this is not the case. The advantage is merely a slightly more exact color and brightness gradation: 877 possible values (64 to 940) with legacy range versus 1016 possible values
(4 to 1019) with extended range.
Note: Extended color space is usually not displayed correctly on HD-SDI monitors, leading to clipped blacks and whites on the monitor, except on HD-SDI monitors that explicitly support extended color range signals. At the same time, legacy color space will most likely not be displayed correctly on DVI monitors, leading to slightly grayish blacks and whites, unless the monitor is explicitly configured for legacy color space signals.
Available gamma settings (March 2013 update):
Bcst.45 (full remote control panel access to gamma settings, step gamma at 0.45)

White Level
The white level can be adjusted by using typical level adjustment tools, e.g., a test pattern with a series of five boxes ranging from dark gray to white with a pair of moving white bars on a white background. The white level is correctly set when the right-hand white bar is barely visible.
Available settings:
White Level Head 1: −99 to +99
White Level Head 2: −99 to +99
Black Level
The black level can be adjusted by using typical level adjustment tools, e.g., a test pattern with a number of vertical black and gray bars that represent the various levels of black. The black level is set correctly when the very blackest bar disappears into the background.
Available settings:
Black level: −99 to +99

9.4 MODE Menu
The Mode menu contains additional options for 2D and 3D recording.
Figure 26: MODE Menu sinaCAM
9.4.1 DVI-Mode
sinaCAM has a various number of digital monitor output possibilities at 60 Hz.
Available settings:
CAM1; CAM2; AltFrame; AltLine; Subtract; Anaglyph
9.4.1.1 CAM1
DVI monitor output of image from remote camera head 1
9.4.1.2 CAM2
DVI monitor output of image from remote camera head 2
9.4.1.3 AltFrame (Alternate Frame Sequencing)
Alternate frame sequencing is a method of transmitting a 3D signal via a standard DVI connection.
Images filmed with two remote camera heads are displayed in alternating order. The first left image is followed by the corresponding right image, then the next left image followed by the next right image and so on. This method requires LCD shutter glasses that can open and close the lenses for the left and right eye in rapid succession.
9.4.1.4 AltLine (Alternate Line)
Another method of transmitting a 3D signal via a standard DVI connection. Line 1 is taken from the image sent by camera head 1, line 2 from head 2, line 3 from head 1, line 4 from head 2 and so on. The images from both camera heads are displayed at the same time, but each at half vertical resolution. This method is optimal for line-alternating polarized displays together with appropriate passive 3D glasses.
9.4.1.5 Subtract
This mode is used for exact calibration of two camera heads in 3D mode by determining the focal point.
The image from camera head 1 is displayed in grayscale. The same goes for the image from camera head
2, however this time the colors are inverted. When an object is focused on exactly by both camera heads, the object practically disappears on the monitor – all objects at approximately the same distance are then displayed correctly (without double images).
34 Rev.: E User Manual
sinaCAM The Menus
9.4.1.6 Anaglyph
Another method of transmitting a 3D signal via a standard DVI connection. The image from camera head
1 is output in red, the image from head 2 in cyan. Viewing the resulting anaglyph image through red/cyan glasses will create a 3D effect.
9.4.2 H-Flip (Horizontal Flip)
In professional settings, 3D camera rigs often utilize two separate cameras or camera heads mounted at a 90° angle to each other. The incoming light is distributed between the two camera heads via a beam splitter (a semi-transparent mirror). Such setups make it necessary to flip the incoming image for one or even both of the cameras horizontally.
Available settings:
None; CAM1; CAM2; Both
9.4.2.1 None
No horizontal flip is performed.
9.4.2.2 CAM1
Image from remote camera head 1 is flipped horizontally.
9.4.2.3 CAM2
Image from remote camera head 2 is flipped horizontally.
9.4.2.4 Both
Image from both remote camera heads is flipped horizontally.
9.4.3 GenLock
GenLock is used to synchronize multiple cameras to ensure that all cameras in a synchronization chain begin reading the first pixel of an image from the sensor at the same time. The system needs a clocking component that provides the synchronization data – currently, sinaCAM cannot provide a clock itself.
Multiple sinaCAMs can be daisy-chained. The last camera in a chain must terminate the signal.
Supported output formats:
720p60; 720p59.94; 720p50; 720p30; 720p29.97; 720p25; 720p24; 720p23.98

9.4.3.1 FreeRun (Free Run)
The camera doesn’t synchronize with any signal. Even if it should receive sync data, it will run on its own clock completely free from any synchronization.
9.4.3.2 Slv+Term (Slave+Terminating)
The camera is last in a synchronization chain and terminates the signal.
9.4.3.3 SlvChain (Slave Chain)
The camera is in the middle of a synchronization chain. It syncs itself to the signal and forwards the sync signal to subsequent devices.
9.4.3.4 ExpTrgIn (Exposure Trigger In)
The Exposure Trigger In option enables providing an external trigger signal via the camera’s AUX terminal. "Falling edge" triggers exposure of the sensor while "rising edge" triggers the reading of sensor data.
Note: The Shutter setting is ignored when this GenLock mode is active. The HD-SDI output is not in sync with the exposure trigger signal!

Note: At this point there is no feedback if a faulty LUT file is uploaded.
10.2.5.1 Naming User LUTs
Regardless of the LUT file’s name, the gamma settings contained therein will be select-able as USER in the sinaCAM menu. Thus, only one user setting can be stored on the sinaCAM using the regular upload method, as uploading a new user LUT overwrites the previous USER settings.
However, if the LUT is put into a tar archive, uploading that archive to the sinaCAM will create a new user setting with the name of the LUT file within the archive. It is also possible to upload several LUTs at once by placing them within the same archive. Supported compression methods for the archive file are xz, lszma, bz2 and gz.
10.2.5.2 Gamma LUT File Format
A LUT file, as supported by the sinaCAM, is a text file with no header. It contains 16384 hex values, assigning one to each of the 16384 (14-bit) possible input values from the camera head’s sensor. The values are given in text form (without a preceding "0x"!), separated by any whitespace character
(including line breaks), and can range from 0 to FFF, thus mapping the 14-bit input values to a
12-bit format.
