TM
4.10.1 Concept
The LDX 86 camera incorporates Grass Valley’s AnylightXtreme™ high-quality anti-flicker
system which almost fully eliminates perceived changes in light levels due to the uneven ratio
between the camera scanning frequency and the alternating amplitude of artificial light
sources.
It is recommended to check the lighting conditions at the location where you are planning to
operate the LDX 86 camera in order to obtain the best results. In most cases, artificial lighting
conditions in stadiums and on stages are not optimised or balanced. Therefore flicker reduction
is often necessary to prevent amplitude changes in the transmitted or recorded video.
4.10.2 Settings
To set up AnyLightXtreme use the the Operational Control Panel or the XCU:
Press the
EXP. TIME
button and use the navigation buttons until the
LIGHTING
item appears.
Select the setting you want to use for AnyLightXtreme.
Connect a monitor to the Live Effect (D) output of the XCU and enter the XCU menu. Go the
VIDEO
>
ANYLIGHT
menu and select the setting you want to use for AnyLightXtreme.
There are five presets (plus Off) for AnyLightXtreme to adjust the camera to accommodate
different lighting conditions:
ASKIN: OK

Lighting conditions
Flicker reduction
Off (default)
AnyLightXtreme is switched off; no flicker reduction is applied.
Optimal
Daylight and non-alternating or high-frequency artificial
lighted environments. Each field has the same video level
and flicker reduction is not necessary.
No reduction
Good
Artificial lighting with minor amplitude changes, for
example incandescent or well-balanced three-phase
lighting. Use this preset also when daylight and artificial
light with alternating effects are combined.
