The Grass Valley GVG LDK-3000+ is a broadcast camera system designed for use in a variety of professional video production environments. It supports Triax connectivity for live broadcasting, allowing for long-distance transmission of video signals. Below are some of the key technical details for the GVG LDK-3000+ camera system with Triax support:

Key Features:

1. Camera Type:

   • The LDK-3000+ is a high-definition broadcast camera system used for ENG (electronic news gathering) and studio environments.
   • It is a single-chip HD camera, supporting 1080i and 720p formats.

2. Triax Connectivity:

   • The camera is equipped with Triax (three-wire) connectivity, which is a common standard for video signal transmission in professional broadcast environments.
   • The Triax system allows video, audio, and control signals to be transmitted over long distances, typically up to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet), and offers the advantage of being robust in terms of signal integrity.

3. Camera Imaging:

   • The LDK-3000+ uses a 3-CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) sensor configuration for high-quality image capture. It typically features CCD sensors capable of capturing high-definition images with excellent color accuracy and resolution.
   • The camera supports progressive and interlace modes for various broadcasting formats.

4. Resolution and Frame Rate:

   • The LDK-3000+ supports HD resolutions, including 1920×1080 (1080i) and 1280×720 (720p) at 50/59.94 Hz, 25/30 Hz, and various other frame rates.

5. Power Supply:

   • The camera can be powered via the Triax cable with a 12V DC power supply or other external power sources depending on the configuration.

6. Control and Remote Operation:

   • The camera is typically controlled remotely via CCU (Camera Control Unit). The Triax cable allows for two-way communication for control and monitoring purposes.
   • It supports dynamic range adjustment, color balance, and other image manipulation features.

7. Lens Mount:

   • The camera supports B4 mount lenses, which are standard in the broadcast industry for video cameras. These lenses are used to attach professional lenses for various zoom levels and focal lengths.

8. Weight and Dimensions:

   • Weight: Approximately 3.5 to 4.0 kg (varies with configuration).
   • The camera is designed to be lightweight and portable for ENG crews, as well as robust enough for studio environments.

9. Picture Enhancement:

   • The LDK-3000+ includes built-in digital signal processing (DSP) for image enhancement including features like sharpening, gamma adjustment, and noise reduction.

10. Triax Cable Characteristics:

    • Transmission distance: Typically up to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) for video and control signals.
    • Cable types: Standard Triax cables are used for the transmission of video signals, with options for additional power or audio cables running through the same cable bundle.
    • Signal integrity: Triax is preferred over coaxial cable for longer distances because of its ability to handle high-frequency signals with lower signal loss.

11. Additional Features:

    • HD-SDI Output: For high-definition video signal output.
    • Viewfinder and Display Options: The camera can be used with a viewfinder to monitor the image directly.
    • Onboard menu for adjusting various image and camera settings.

Additional Specifications:

• Power consumption: Around 20W to 40W depending on the configuration and settings.
• Triax Adapter: If necessary, an adapter may be used to convert Triax to fiber or other signal transmission formats.

This camera is designed to be highly reliable in demanding broadcast environments, offering a balance of high-quality imaging and durability.
