HD Wireless HDTV Digital Wireless camera system User’s Guide (v3.02)
Cautions
•
To prevent risk of overheating, ventilate the product correctly.
•
Connect the product only to a power source with the specified voltage rating.
•
Always switch off the camera before changing the battery or changing the power supply.
•
Any cables connected to the camera must be less than 3 m to avoid interference.
Summary of cautions used in this manual:
•
Always disconnect from the power supply before opening the adapter.
•
Connection panel position in the rack should ensure that the plug and power cord are
within easy reach for switching off purposes.
•
Be extremely careful with the connectors between the camera head and the adapter. Do
not allow the guide pins to damage the pins of the connector. Follow these steps in the
order given. Tightening the screws in the wrong order could result in mechanical damage
to the camera. Loosening the screws in the wrong order could result in mechanical
damage to the camera.
•
Never supply power to an adapter without first ensuring that the antennas are attached.
•
Use only the antennas supplied.
•
Switch off the power to the units before detaching the antennas.
•
The input voltage to the camera must stay between +11 VDC and +17 Vdc.
•
Disconnect the power to the WCU before opening the AMU.
HD Wireless HDTV Digital Wireless camera system User’s Guide (v3.02)
Triax cable systems
•
Only connect a Triax cable from the same LDK camera family to the unit.
•
Do not allow system earth currents to exceed 1.5 A in the outer shield of the Triax cable or
0.2 A in other cable shields.
•
To avoid excessive earth currents in a Triax system, galvanically separate the power earth
connection of equipment connected to the AMU from the AMU earth.
•
It is strictly prohibited to short circuit the inner and outer shields of a Triax cable used to
connect an AMU to a WCU.
Galvanic separation
Because of the nature of Triax systems, with long distances between AMU and WCU, the risk
of earth currents flowing is greater. These earth currents can result in damage to the
equipment.
To prevent earth currents from flowing in the Triax system, we recommend galvanic separation
of earthed equipment connected to the AMU. This separation can be achieved by using an
isolation transformer between the local power outlet and the equipment connected to the
AMU. Alternatively, use equipment that has a double insulation and therefore does not require
an earth connection.

Introduction
1.1
Technology
The HD wireless system docks to the Grass Valley HD family of LDK cameras to form an
HD Digital Wireless Camera System. It supports 1080i50/60, 720p50/60 and 1080psF25/29.97
acquisition while using an innovative approach both to compression and transmission.
For compression, the HD wireless system uses state-of-the-art JPEG 2000 compression
technology with a 10-bit, end-to-end signal. You can use intra-field or spatial/temporal
compression. What's more, there is no MPEG-style group of pictures (GoP). Consequently
every frame is of the same high quality for postprocessing and editing.
For transmission, this bi-directional system provides genlock and full control of the camera in
the same way as with a triax cable system. Coupled with a high bit-rate protocol (based on the
802.16 physical layer), it features low latency, enabling you to integrate wireless shots into your
production with imperceptible video-to-audio delay. To fulfill specific requirements in different
environments a set of profiles allow you to balance between the robustness of the wireless
transmission and its bit-rate. The high-performance digital transmission means that the system
is omnidirectional with no adverse effects from multi-path reflections.
Shooting range
The HD wireless system features a three-antenna diversity set. This receiving unit, when
suitably placed, together with a video output power of 60 mW, offers you a shooting range of
up to 150 m (500 ft). This shooting area can be extended to up to 400 m (1,300 ft) using the
optional LDK 5451 Video Booster. The built-in data booster provides coverage of up to 1,000 m
(3,280 ft) for the data link.
Adding a second antenna set can readily extend the coverage area, letting you move, for
example, from a stadium to a dressing room. The system switches automatically and seamless
between the two antenna sets.
The connection between a base station and the wireless system's antenna set uses
conventional Triax cable, enabling you to locate an antenna up to 600 m (1,970 ft) from the
base station using 11 mm (0.43 in) Triax cable. The HD wireless camera system is fully
compatible with studio production facilities, the Grass Valley C2IP camera control system, and
utilizes the same operational control panels as other Grass Valley LDK series cameras using
the C2IP system.
The HD Wireless camera system integrates perfectly into your existing set-up. It is a flexible
camera system that is equally at home in the studio or out on location in an outside broadcast
environment.

2.1
Configurations
This wireless transmission system combines with an HD LDK camera head to form a HD
Digital Wireless Camera system. The camera head with the attached Wireless Camera Adapter
(WCA), communicates wirelessly with the Antenna Management Unit (AMU). The AMU is
connected to the Wireless Control Unit (WCU) via a Triax cable.
For different RF frequency ranges, different wideband RF modules are available which cover
the ranges 2.2 to 2.4 GHz, 2.0 to 2.2 GHz or 2.5 to 2.7 GHz using 18 MHz bandwith.
Output video signals
The WCU delivers three SDI video signals for the studio system. Either HD or SD output
signals can be selected for the three SDI output connectors in the WCU Video menu. SDI
outputs 1 and 2 are always the same (HD or SD) but SDI output 3 can be set independently.
Two analog CVBS and a digital monitoring signal (SDI output 3) are available from the WCU.
These signals carry the On-Screen Display (OSD) texts and are intended for use in a control
room.
The SDI outputs 1 and 2 do not contain OSD information and are intended for use in a
production room.
Control
Remote control of the camera is achieved through the C2IP network that can be connected to
the WCU. Control panels such as the OCP 400 can be used to gain full access to the camera.
Set the parameters for the control network in the WCU System menu.
Increased range
To expand the operating range of the camera an additional AMU with antenna set can be
added to the system. The WCU selects automatically between the two receiving sets without
a picture break (roaming).

Antenna Management Unit (AMU)
2.3.1 Antenna positioning
To get the best benefits from reflections the receiving set is equipped with a three-antenna
diversity system. The AMU uses the MRC (Maximum Ratio Combining) system for optimal
transmission robustness. Both transmitting and receiving antennas are omni-directional, so
there’s no need for alignment or tracking.
Position the AMU strategically in the area you wish to cover. Preferably, mount the antenna
assembly on a mast or attach it to a raised structure.
Caution
Always ensure that the antennas are vertical. This ensures best reception.
If required, a second AMU can be used to extend the covered area. To cover a typical stage
area, it might be a good idea to place antenna assemblies upside-down at a high point on either
side of the stage.
A good rule of thumb is to keep a line of sight from the camera standpoint towards the
receiving antennas.
Caution
Always use the antennas that were supplied with the modules. Using the wrong antennas will
result in poor coverage.
2.3.2 Antenna unit assembly
Set up the antenna support assembly close to the AMU as follows:

3.3.4 Making changes
To find out where to change a function, consult the List of System Menu Functions at the
end of this section to find out under which menu group or subgroup the function is
located. If the cursor points to an item (and there are no double arrows to indicate a submenu) then the item pointed to has a value. The value can be:
•
a toggle value (only two values)
•
a list value (more than two values)
•
an analogue value (variable from 0 to 99)
•
or unavailable (- - - -).
If the value is unavailable it cannot be changed. This is indicated by three dashes (---). This can
occur, for example, when a function is switched off. The analogue values associated with that
function are then unavailable.
If there are only two values associated with the function, then pressing the rotary/push button
toggles between these two values.
If a value is displayed next to a function that is one of several possible values, then pressing
the rotary/push button places the cursor in a list menu indicating the value currently selected.
Use the rotary/push button to point to a new value. Press the rotary/push button to return the
cursor to the function list.
If an analogue value is displayed next to a function name, then pressing the rotary/push button
places the cursor in front of the value and the rotary/push button is used to change the
analogue value. Press the rotary/push button to return the cursor to the function list.
3.3.5 Using the Recall File to undo changes
If you make changes to the settings in the Systems menu and you decide not to keep
them, use the Recall File function to recall a standard or stored set of values for the
parameters. These files are available in the FILES menu.

Lock LEDs
These three green indicators, whose numbers correspond to the three transmission
antennas, light to indicate that there is a good synchronization between camera and the
specific AMU antenna. At least one of these indicators must be lit to have a connection. If
all three are lit, the RF link is at its strongest.
If all three indicators are not lit then none of the three antennas received a signal that
could allow synchronization. Possible causes are:
– camera signal is absent, or
– an incorrect frequency is being used.
Error LEDs
These three red indicators light to indicate different problems in the connection between
the camera and a specific AMU antenna.
Check Video Link: even if one antenna picks up a signal, the digital demodulation process
could not correct all transmissions errors. Video loss will occur. Possible causes are:
– camera signal is too weak, or
– signal is polluted by strong interference

5.1.1 WCU user levels
Access to the functions on these menus is determined by the user level that has been
set. The menu items are divided into two user levels. The operator level Oper is default
accessible. Menu items with user level Install are only accessible if the menu level is set
to Install. To enter the Install level proceed as follows:
1.
Enter the menu.
2.
Navigate to the Monitoring \ Menu \ Menu level Item.
3.
Set the Menu level to Inst.
The purpose of the user levels is to restrict the set of functions which can be changed by
whoever is using the WCU. In this way the danger of the operator accidentally changing critical
functions while shooting is reduced. The user level automatically reverts to Oper when menu
Off is executed (either after time out or user’s choice.

- Exchanging the RF module
Exchanging the RF module
In some situations you may choose to use a different frequency band. To use a different band,
you need to exchange the right side cover (= camera RF module) of the wireless camera
adapter.
Caution
Exchange of the camera RF Module must only be performed by qualified personnel.
Choose the frequency module for your frequency band:
– LDK 5456/20: Camera RF module 2.0 - 2.2 GHz
– LDK 5456/22: Camera RF module 2.2 - 2.4 GHz
– LDK 5456/25: Camera RF module 2.5 - 2.7 GHz
To install the module you need to exchange the entire right side cover of the wireless camera
adapter as follows:
Caution
Do not immediately remove the panel from the adapter after unscrewing; it is connected by
two cables to the adapter.
1.
Unscrew the five screws securing the right side cover of the adapter and carefully open
the unit.
2.
Disconnect the coaxial cable from the adapter side and the flat cable from the RF module
side.
3.
Connect the cables between the new RF module and the adapter.
4.
Fold the cable into the space between the printed circuit board and the upper guiding rail
to make sure that it will not get stuck.
5.
Mount the module on the adapter and secure it with the five screws.
6.
Change the frequency range in the WCU menu.

Installing the Video booster
Introduction
The Video Booster for wireless cameras is a highly linear RF amplifier designed to be used
as an accessory to the HD Wireless Camera Adapter. The Video Booster operates over a
range from 2,000 to 2,700 MHz and delivers up to 500mW of conducted power.
The Video booster is mounted between the back panel of the Wireless Camera Adapter
and the battery. It can be delivered for two types of battery systems: IDX (LDK5455/60) or
Anton Bauer (LDK5455/50) to be specified when ordered.
Package contents
•
Video RF booster unit (equipped with either a IDX or Anton Bauer battery interface).
•
RF coaxial cable (with SMA right-angled connector to SMA right-angled connector).
•
Flexible antennas (with N-type male connector). Use only the antenna that matches your
RF module:
– LDK 5457/20 (2.0 - 2.2 GHz)
– LDK 5456/22 (2.2 - 2.4 GHz)
– LDK 5456/25 (2.5 - 2.7 GHz)

4.
Plug the XLR-4 power cable from the booster in the XLR-4 power receptacle on the
camera adapter.
5.
Connect the RF coaxial cable between the output of the camera adapter and the input of
the booster.
6.
Screw the correct flexible antenna on the booster according to your RF module:
– use the LDK5457/20 antenna with LDK5451/20 RF module (2.0 to 2.2 GHz)
– use the LDK5457/22 antenna with LDK5451/22 RF module (2.2 to 2.4 GHz)
– use the LDK5457/25 antenna with LDK5451/25 RF module (2.5 to 2.7 GHz)
7.
Install the battery onto the back panel of the booster.
8.
Switch on the camera.
Recommendation
The HD Wireless Camera Adapter has an internal digital attenuator. It allows you to reduce RF
output power to a value that is sufficient for your particular operating conditions. Maximum
power is not always needed and it is good practice to reduce output power to the minimum
required to reduce exposure and possible interaction between adjacent cameras.
To reduce the RF output power level set the EXT. BOOST ADJUST in the INSTALL/
WIRELESS menu of the camera to a value greater than 0. Each time this parameter is
increased by +2, the RF output power level is decreased by 1 dB with respect to its nominal
value.
