This configuration is the multiple camera Triax mode. The camera is connected to a CPU as in the single camera Triax mode. The data bus is looped-through from CPU to CPU's, Base Stations, OCP's and MCP. The OCP's (Operational Control Panels) are used to control the cameras and a MCP (master Control Panel) can also be connected to extend the control facilities.

The LDK 20 and LDK 200 studio cameras are of course ideal companions for the LDK 23HS mkII, however, other cameras of the Thomson Multimedia Broadcast Solutions family such as the LDK 10p, the LDK20P and the LDK 100 can also be included in this configuration.

Note

A maximum of 15 looped-trough standard camera systems in one chain can be handeld, however, in a multiple system the load of a LDK 23 HS (mkII) is twice the load of a standard camera so with level 1 communication software the system can handle a maximum of 8 LDK23 HS (mkII) camera's.
