Introduction
1.1 Overview
The LDK 5307 is a high quality, flat panel color viewfinder. Its light-weight
construction, multi-format compatibility and its high brightness performance make
this viewfinder a perfect match for EFP/portable, studio and outside broadcast
applications.
The LDK 5307 viewfinder is designed to work with Grass Valley’s LDX Series and
LDK Series studio HD cameras and accommodates all required HD frame rates and
video modes. The supplied sun hood provides excellent shading fit for outdoor
situations while its 7-inch diagonal screen size makes fast and accurate focussing
easy.
Compact design
The compact design allows for great operator flexibility with much wider panning
and tilting angles compared to CRT based viewfinders.
Camera operation
Due to its convenient user interface and built-in text generator, the viewfinder allows
for easy access to the camera system menu.
Zoom function
The viewfinder picture can be zoomed in for precise focussing while the full picture
overview is shown in a small overlay area.
Color adjustment
Without influencing the main video signal the viewfinder’s color temperature can be
adjusted to suit the operator’s personal preference.
Assignable buttons
Three user buttons are provided that can be assigned to a range of operational
functions, customizing the LDK 5307 to your personal preferences.
