Base Station Headset Set-Up - GRASS VALLEY LDK 4502 User Manual

4.5.2 Base Station headset set-up

☞
Note
The headset facilities are only available on Base Stations fitted with the BS Headset module
which is optionally available.
A headset connected to the front of the Base Station is set-up via the AUDIO/INTERCOM
menu of the Base Station using the ENG Headset submenu. In this menu you can select a
12 VDC phantom supply for the headset microphone and set the microphone level to 0 dB or
+20 db.
The cameraman microphone signal and the tracker (floor) microphone signal can be individually
switched on for the headset and the levels for each can be set. You can switch on a sidetone
from the Base Station microphone and set its level.
The Base Station microphone signal is added to the ENG channel. Use the MIC ENG-OUT
function in the menu to send it to the studio engineering channel. Use the MICTOENG-CAM
function to send it to the camera.
Operation
The signal to the headset is controlled with a switch in the front of the Base Station which
selects the intercom signal to be heard in the Base Station headset. The choices are:
• PROD (production)
• PROG (programming)
• CAM+FLOOR (cameraman and tracker)
• ENG (engineering)
If CAM+FLOOR is selected, the signal that is heard depends on the values set in the ENG
Headset submenu for the CAMERAMIC and TRACKERMIC signals in the AUDIO/INTERCOM
menu of the Base Station.

Note
If you have selected to operate a bi-directional private data channel between the Base Station
and the camera in the AUDIO/INTERCOM menu of the Base Station, then the tracker
microphone signal is not available in the Base Station and the Program signal is not available in
the camera.
