from HDMI or SDI.
- Scan -
Use this menu option
to choose Scan mode. There are three modes
preset:
l Aspect
Select Aspect under Scan option, then use Aspect option to switch between several aspect ratio setting.
For example:
In 4:3 mode,
images are scaled up or down to fill the maximum 4:3 portion of the screen. In 16:9 mode, images are scaled
to fill the entire screen.
In Full mode, images are scaled to fill the entire screen.
l Pixel to Pixel
The pixel to pixel is a monitor set to 1:1 pixel mapping
with native fixed pixels, which avoids loss of sharpness due to scaling artifacts and normally avoids
incorrect aspect ratio due to stretching.
l Zoom
The image can be enlarged by [10%]-[90%]. To select the [Zoom] under [Scan], choose the times under [Zoom]
option which underneath the Check Field option.
- Aspect -
- Overscan -

[4:3], [3:2], [1.3X], [1.5X], [2.0X], [2.0X MAG].
Use this item to activate or deactivate overscan.
-
H/V Delay -
Selects one of the H/V modes: [OFF], [H], [V], [H/V]. When H/V Delay on, the blanking
portions of the input signal will be displayed horizontally
and vertically.
- Check Field -
Use the check field modes for monitor calibration or to analyze
individual color components of an image. In [Mono]
mode, all color is disabled and only a grayscale image is shown. In [Red],
[Blue], and [Green] check field modes, only the selected color will
be shown.
-
Zoom -
Select zoom scale from 10% to 90% (Step value is 10%).
- Freeze -
When you select [Scan] as [Zoom], any part of the enlarged image can be
displayed on the screen. After exiting the MENU, press the left and right buttons to adjust the zoom position.
Choose [On] to capture
one frame of current image on the screen, and choose [Off] to close
freeze function.
- Image Flip -
The monitor support [H], [V], [H/V] three preset Flip modes.
- Full Mode -
Some auxiliary functions for monitoring can be turned on in full screen – [Waveform], [Vector], [Histogram], [Audio
Vector].
- Waveform -
Use this item
to activate or deactivate Waveform.
Select the waveform
mode from among [Y], [YCbCr], [RGB].
- [Multi]: Display
waveform, histogram, audio vector, vector,
and level meter simultaneously.
-
[Y]: Display Y Waveform.
-
[YCbCr]: Display YCbCr Waveform.
-
- Vector -
[RGB]: Display
R/G/B Waveform.
Use this item to activate or deactivate
Vector.
-
Transparency -
Adjustment of transparency can support waveform,
vector, histogram, audio vector, level meter. Transparency can be selected from among [off], [25%], and [50%].
- [Off] : The background of waveform is shown
at black.
- [25%]: The background of waveform is shown at 25%
intensity.
-
[50%]: The background of waveform is shown at 50%
intensity.
-
Peaking -
The peaking
is used to aid the camera operator
in obtaining the sharpest possible
picture. Select "On" to display colored outlines around sharp areas of the
image.
- Peaking Color -
Use this setting to change the color of focus assist lines to [Red], [Green],
[Blue], [White], [Black].
Changing the color
of the lines can help make them easier to see against
similar colors in displayed image.
- Peaking Level -
Use this setting to adjust the level of focus sensitivity from [1]-[100].
If there are plenty of details of image with
high contrast, it will display lots of focus assist lines that may cause visual
interference. So, decrease the value of peaking level to reduce the
focus lines to see clearly. Conversely, if the image has less details with low
contrast, it should be increase the value of peaking level to see the focus lines clearly.
-
False Color -
This monitor has a false color filter to aid in the setting of camera
exposure. As the camera Iris is adjusted, elements
of the image will change color based on the luminance or brightness values.
This enables proper exposure to be achieved
without the use of costly,
complicated external equipment.
When activated, [Default], [Spectrum], [ARRI],
[RED] are for optional.
- Exposure &
Exposure Level -
The exposure
feature helps the user achieve optimum exposure by displaying diagonal lines
over areas of the image
that exceed the setting
exposure level.
The exposure level can be set to [50IRE]-[100IRE].
-
Histogram –
When activated, [Y], [RGB], [Color]
are for optional.
The histogram shows the distribution of the luminance or the black to
white information along a horizontal scale,
and lets the user monitors how close the detail is to being clipped in the
blacks or whites of the video. The histogram also lets you see the effects of gamma
changes in the video.
The left edge of the histogram displays shadows, or blacks, and the far
right displays highlights, or whites. If monitoring the image from a camera, when the user closes or opens the lens aperture, the information in
the histogram moves to the left or right accordingly. The user can use this to check "clipping" in the image shadows and highlights, and also for a quick overview of the amount of detail visible in the tonal ranges. For example, a tall and broad range of information around the middle section of the histogram corresponds to good exposure for details in the mid tones of your image.
The video is likely being clipped if the information bunches to a hard
edge at 0% or above 100% along the horizontal
scale. Video clipping is undesirable when shooting, as detail in the blacks and
whites must be preserved if the user
subsequently wants to perform color correction in a controlled environment.
When shooting, try to maintain the
exposure so information falls off gradually at the edges of the histogram with most forming around the middle. This will
give the user more freedom later to adjust colors without whites and blacks appearing flat and lacking in detail.
