Standard settings

To ensure that some of the camera functions are not
set to unusual values, a standard file has been defined
that contains the default values for most video
functions. The table in the Appendix lists the values
that are set when the standard file is recalled.

Press the green STD button on the left side panel of
the camera and hold it for 2 seconds to recall the
standard values for the various video functions. The
standard values only take effect when the camera is
not on-air.

Note

The standard file can be selected as either a factory
or a customer standard file. Changing the standard
file can only be done in the System security menu if
the owner card or the PIN code is used.

Smart-Touch™

Smart-Touch™ is an optional software module that
gives immediate access to 14 pre-defined scene files.
This library allows you to quickly set up the camera for
different shooting conditions. To choose a particular
file proceed as follows:
a. Press the green STD button for 2 seconds; the

viewfinder shows the library of available shooting
conditions.

b. Select a file by rotating the selection wheel at the

front of the camera.

c. Activate the file of your choice by pressing the

Select button at the front of the camera.

The new values only take effect when the camera is
not on-air. The Smart-Touch™ files can also be
selected by navigating to the Files menu using the
System Menu.

The files of the Smart-Touch™ library are divided into
three categories, Lighting, Creative, and Matching,
which complement the standard setting scene file.

The Lighting category provides three different files for
various lighting conditions:

Night

optimises the transfer characteristic to

enhance the visibility of detail in very dark scenes
without the undesirable consequence of excessive
noise associated with simply increasing gain.

Fluorescent

establishes matrix and colourmetric

parameters to reduce the green tinge and give a
more acceptable picture when the scene is lit with
uncorrected fluorescent lighting.

Extreme contrast

uses the full dynamic range of

the FT CCD sensor to obtain better handling of
highlights and more detail in the shadows.

The Creative category provides seven files for different
effects:

Sports warm colour

delivers warm and rich

contrasts bringing out team colours.

Sports interview

incorporates the dual skin tone

control into the sports setting for interviews.

HI film

gives a high contrast film-like look which is

ideal for outdoor location production.

HI film + skin

is the HI film setting with dual skin

tone control incorporated for natural, flattering
close-ups.

LO film

gives a low contrast film-like look for studio

production.

LO film + skin

is the LO film setting with dual skin

tone control incorporated for natural, flattering
close-ups.

Sepia

creates a sepia tone look for atmosphere-

rich production.

The Matching category provides three files for camera
matching:

LDK 9x + LDK 10

for matching Philips to LDK 9,

LDK 10, LDK 90 and LDK 91 cameras.

DVW xxx

for matching to Sony camcorders.

HL xxx

for matching to Ikegami camcorders.

Each of these settings can be personalised and
stored on a smart card.
