1.2.4 Acquisition formats
The LDK 8300 acquires signals in 1080i and 720p HD formats at single, double and triple speed
which are output from the high speed base station as normal or three-phase signals . At the
same time, the camera provides high-quality SDTV outputs in either 50 Hz or 59.94 Hz. The
following acquisition formats are available:
– 1080i at 59.94 Hz and 50 Hz, 119.88 Hz and 100 Hz, 179.82 Hz and 150 Hz
– 720p at 59.94 Hz and 50 Hz, 119.88 Hz and 100 Hz, 179.82 Hz and 150 Hz
1.2.5 Anylight™ anti-flicker system
The LDK 8300 incorporates Grass Valley's Anylight™ high-quality anti-flicker system which
eliminates any perceived changes in light levels due to the uneven ratio between the camera
scanning frequency and the alternating amplitude of artificial lights powered by mains
frequency. The system ensures constant video output levels at triple speed frame rates even
under difficult artificial lighting conditions.
1.2.6 HD Fiber transmission
The LDK 5880 HD Fiber adapter allows video transmission and remote control of cameras up
to a distance of 4,000 m (13,000 ft) and beyond, using industry standard fiber-optic cable.
The communication facilities provide for two-wire or four-wire high quality intercom signals.
Full camera control is provided via the Grass Valley C2IP Ethernet-based control network.
1.2.7 LDK 4583 HD Fiber Base Station
The HD Fiber Base Station, as well as providing high definition outputs, optionally offers
simultaneous high-end SDTV outputs. This facilitates a gradual and managed transition from
SDTV to HDTV.
Together with LDK 4583 High-speed Base Station, the LDK 8300 provides a digital high speed
output to the studio environment. This 3x HD-SDI connection can be supplied to an external
disk recorder or recording system to obtain exceptional slow motion playback performance.
1.2.8 LDK 4488 SuperXpander and LDK 4489 Xpander
The optional available SuperXpander together with the LDK 4021 7-inch CRT B/W viewfinder or
the LDK 4025 8-inch LCD color viewfinder turns the portable camera into a full-featured studio
camera for studio and EFP situations.
