Menu Install Features

User level

The user level function in the Install menu determines what is displayed in the menus. For example, for user level 4, the Top menu contains 6 Main menus. However, for user level 1 the Top menu only shows the VF/Lens and Install menus.

The purpose of the four user levels is to restrict the set of functions which can be changed by whoever is using the camera. In this way a more centralized and uniform control can be achieved and the danger of the camera operator accidentally changing critical functions while shooting is reduced.

The division of the levels was decided using the following criteria:

1.Video related functions blocked.

2.All video related functions that can be checked on a black & white monitor can be controlled.

3.All video related functions that can be checked on a colour monitor can be controlled.

4.All functions can be controlled.

The maximum user level set on the MCP, restricts the number of user levels available on the camera.

Gain

The gain can be selected in four steps: -, 0, + and ++. The actual value of the gain in dB can be assigned to these symbols. This is done in the Install menu.

The "-" can be set to -6dB or -3dB. The '0' is always 0dB.

The '+' can be set in steps of 3dB between 0dB and the value of '++'.

The '++' can also be set in steps of 3dB between the value of '+' and 30dB.

Note

The '+' and '++' steps can not have the same value.

Files

The files menu enables four different scene files to be stored and recalled. If the message NOK is displayed then the old values are restored. If the camera is on-air when a scene file is recalled then the recalled values do not become active until the camera switches off-air.
