Menu Install Features - THOMSON LDK 20 S Operator's Manual

Menu Install Features

User level
The user level function in the Install menu determines
what is displayed in the menus. For example, for user
level 4, the Top menu contains 6 Main menus.
However, for user level 1 the Top menu only shows
the VF/Lens and Install menus.
The purpose of the four user levels is to restrict the set
of functions which can be changed by whoever is
using the camera. In this way a more centralized and
uniform control can be achieved and the danger of the
camera operator accidentally changing critical
functions while shooting is reduced.
The division of the levels was decided using the
following criteria:
1. Video related functions blocked.
2. All video related functions that can be checked on
a black & white monitor can be controlled.
3. All video related functions that can be checked on
a colour monitor can be controlled.
4. All functions can be controlled.
The maximum user level set on the MCP, restricts the
number of user levels available on the camera.
In local mode the camera always starts up with user
level 1.
User defined menu switches
Four switches located on the rear panel can be
defined by the user. These switches can be used to
bring selected menus directly to the display. The
menus selected by these switches are defined in the
Install menu by entering the appropriate menu numbers
under the Switch 1 and Switch 2 sub-menus (the user
defined menu switches can also be programmed by
selecting a menu and pressing the user switch for 3
seconds).
6-6
Gain
The gain can be selected in four 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 in steps of 3dB between 0dB and the
value of '++'.
The '++' can also be set in steps of 3dB between the
value of '+' and 30dB.
The '+' and '++' steps can not have the same value.
Files
The files menu enables four different scene files to be
stored and recalled. 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 switches
off-air.
