User manual GRASS VALLEY LDK 4000 ELITE DATASHEET

[. . . ] With one of the best-known imaging design teams in the world and multiple technical Emmy® awards, Grass Valley camera products continue to break ground for innovation and creative ideas. In many regions of the world, there is no standard format for HD production. Others regions have standardized on only a single format--or do not yet support multiple formats. [. . . ] Three 9. 2-million pixel HD-DPM+TM CCDs within the LDK 4000 Elite camera ensure the highest quality image capture, and 14-bit analog-to-digital conversion takes that quality to the digital domain. Digital signal processing (DSP) takes place on a single chip at 34 bits. This processing KEY FEATURES · Unrivaled video sampling: -- Three 9. 2-million pixel HD-DPM+ CCDs -- 14-bit A/D sampling -- 34-bit digital signal processing resolution · Secondary color corrector · User-selectable noise reducer · Emmy award-winning dual skin contour circuit makes talent look its best · Dynamic anti-aliasing-on-sensor processing reduces artifacts · Unique viewfinder focus-assist tools: -- Crawler for creating an active edge around all objects in focus -- Instant push-button electronic zoom for enlarging a subject to focus on fine details · Flexible HD transmission system: -- Supports standard triax up to 3, 500 ft. (4, 000m) · SuperXpander LLA enables configuration with full size studio or OB lenses, and accessories · Outputs SD images to HD output · On line leaking-pixel correction · Continuous auto-black balance and all-digital auto-white balance · Dockable system for optional adapters such as the Grass Valley HD Wireless system www. grassvalley. com product data sheet DYnAMic PixEL MAnAgEMEnT By grouping the 4, 320 vertical sub-pixels on the CCDs to map to the desired line rate, all popular video formats can be acquired without compromising image quality. 1920 Pixels 1080p 4320 Sub-Pixels When four vertical sub-pixels are combined per scanning line, the total line count becomes Line N+1 1080 lines (4320 / 4 = 1080). So, a Line N+2 1920 x 1080 image is obtained with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Line N to further extend the performance if needed. A wide choice of color temperature settings are available to ensure repeatable accuracy at each color temperature point. This is one of the key differences between LDK camera architecture and other cameras: the LDK cameras do not use optical color correction filters. 720p When six vertical sub-pixels are combined per scanning line, the total line count becomes 720 lines (4320 / 6 = 720). So, a 1920 x Line N+1 720 image is obtained with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Line N Enhanced Digital Signal Processing Chipsets The LDK 4000 Elite includes all-new 1920 DSP circuits and an updated Pixels software platform that performs all camera image management functions such as knee, gamma, 1440 1080 contours, and variable matrix, Lines Lines with 34-bit digital precision. New features of the LDK 4000 Elite have added to those already included with the LDK 4000 mk II. New circuit and chip designs provide substantial performance improvements to the camera. Additional new features have been added, such as secondary color correction, where users can select specific colors in a scene and modify them as needed to enhance or highlight certain features within a shot. Users can select the width or range of colors included in a selection, then choose the color they wish to modify. Up to three colors can be modified in a The advantage of working with this lower line count is that higher frame rates can be used for creating slo-motion effects in post production. Cinemascope-Style Aspect Ratio Line N When three vertical Line N +1 sub-pixels are combined per Line N +2 scanning line, the total line Line N +3 count becomes 1440 lines (4320 / 3 = 1440). By using the center 1080 lines, a 2. 37:1 aspect ratio is achieved without the need for anamorphic lenses while maintaining full 1920 x 1080 resolution. Easy Production System Integration The LDK 4000 Elite camera readily integrates into a studio or mobile production environment. The dockable camera head supports a range of adapters and options to enable the use of either HD triax, fiber, or wireless connectivity, whether in handheld or studio configurations.
