Files Menu Features
A user of the LDK 100 camera can have access to 15
different files. This number can be extended by using
additional scene file smart cards. The Files menu is
used to recall and store these files.
There are two types of file:
* scene files
* operator files.
A scene file contains values related to the picture
performance. The operator file contains values related
to the set-up of the camera (viewfinder, lens and
installation parameters).
The appendix indicates the functions that are stored
in the scene file and those functions that are stored in
an operator file.
Scene files
Four scene files are stored in the camera itself
(SCAM1,SCAM2, SCAM3 and SCAM4). Another four
scene files can be stored on the smart card (SCARD1,
SCARD2, SCARD3 and SCARD4).
A STANDARD scene file (preselected as either factory
or customer defined) is stored in the camera.
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
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 goes off air.
Systems Menu
Operator files
The Files menu also allows the recall of the opererator
file stored in the camera (OCAM1) or one of the two
operator files (OCARD1 and OCARD2) stored on the
smart card. These files contain information for setting
up the non-video configuration of the camera.
A STANDARD operator files (factory or customer
defined) is stored in the camera.
Note
The standard customer operator 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.
Install Menu Features
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.
The "-" can be set to -6dB or -3dB.
The '0' is always 0dB.
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 [FT]
30, 36 or 42dB [IT].
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.
Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio function is only available with
switchable cameras. Aspect ratio values of 16:9 or
4:3 can be selected. If the loc/ext value is set to Ext,
the aspect ratio can be switched by an external signal
connected to the Base Station.
