Panavision DXL
Setting up the Camera
● First of all, make sure the camera is running firmware 1.012 or later
(contact Panavision for further information),
● Use the side panel to access all camera settings.
Enabling ET Protocol
In order to enable the LDT-R1 to talk to the camera and to write and display lens
metadata, the ET Protocol must be selected:
● From the side panel choose: Menu > Network > Serial,
● From Ctrl Protocol select 'Element Technica'.
Disabling the Lens Mount
To avoid lenses interfering with the LDT, the lens mount needs to be disabled:
● From the LCD choose Menu > Setting > Setup > Lens,
● Disable lens mount.
Don't worry if the menu is grayed out. It means a smart lens mount is not fitted to the
camera.
Overlay Lens Data on a Monitor
In order to display lens data as an overlay on an SDI monitor, do the following:
● Copy the provided 'overlay' folder into a fresh REDMAG,
● Load the camera mag into the camera,
● Choose Menu > Monitoring > Overlay Import/Export > On Media,
● Select DCS overlay and Import,
● Go back to Overlay Import/Export, choose In Camera,
● Select DCS overlay,
● Choose Menu > Monitoring > Monitor Preferences,
● Select where you would like to output the overlay metadata. E.g. SDI 1,
● On Overlay choose DCS.
Rigging the LDT-R1
● Connect the MDR to the LDT-R1 MDR port with the MDR (blue) cable
● Connect the camera AUX port to the LDT-R1 CAM port with the DXL (gray)
cable.
