7˝ ON-CAMERA MONITOR

USER MANUAL

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ELVID.

The Elvid OCM-7B-DV2 FieldVision is an on-camera monitor with HDMI and composite audio and video inputs, as well as composite video loop-through. The 7˝ LCD panel’s native resolution is 1024 × 600, with an aspect ratio of 16:10 (native) that you can set to 4:3, 16:9, Full Screen, and two zoom

presets. The onscreen menu makes it easy to ne-tune your

image, and it offers adjustments for brightness, contrast, hue, sharpness, color temperature, and saturation. There are also

broadcast-specic features like safety frame markers and

multiple display formats.

The FieldVision is equipped with advanced tools like Check

Field to help calibrate the monitor, a Focus setting to ne-tune

your focus, and Camera mode to scale the incoming video signal when shooting on a DSLR. Onboard programmable function buttons provide quick shortcuts to Check Field and Focus Assist modes, safety frames, color temperature, and the onscreen volume bar. There’s also an integrated speaker and a 3.5 mm stereo headphone output for live audio monitoring. A removable sunshade is included to minimize glare when shooting outdoors.

POWERING

OPTIONS

There are two ways to power the FieldVision: AC or the included rechargeable battery.

CAMERA BATTERY

The FieldVision’s built-in battery mounting plate accommodates a Sony L-Series type battery. This allows you to power the monitor with a readily-available battery type that you may already own. For more information on compatible battery types, refer to

To install a compatible battery, follow these steps:

1. Place a compatible battery in the battery plate. Make sure the battery’s bottom contacts are aligned with the contacts in the battery plate.

2. Slide the battery forward until it locks into place.

on page 26.

To turn on the FieldVision, press the power switch to the On position. The FieldVision will turn on and enter standby mode, and the status LED will glow orange.

If your video source is connected, the picture will appear on the screen, and the status LED will glow green. If your video source is not connected, a blue screen will display a no-signal message.

To turn the screen off, press the power button. The screen will go black, and the status LED will glow red to indicate that the power is on and the screen is in sleep mode.

AC POWER

To run the FieldVision with AC power, use a 12 V DC adapter to connect the FieldVision’s DC power input to your AC power source.

To turn on the FieldVision, press the power switch to the On position. The FieldVision will turn on and enter ready mode, and the power status LED will glow orange.

If your video source is connected, the picture will appear on the screen, and the status LED will glow green. If the video source is not connected, a blue screen will display a no-signal message.

To turn the screen off, press the power button. The screen will go black, and the status LED will glow red to indicate that the power is on and the screen is in sleep mode.

USING THE

OCM-7B-DV2

MOUNTING THE FIELDVISION

Use the FieldVision’s 1/4″-20 threaded socket to attach the monitor to your mounting system or use the included ball head. Make sure your bracket can support the monitor.

CONNECTING THE VIDEO SOURCE

HDMI Input: The FieldVision is equipped with an HDMI input

for use as a wired high-denition video monitor.

1. Use a compatible HDMI cable (such as the included mini to full-size HDMI cable) to connect your HDMI video source to the FieldVision’s HDMI input.

2. Press the Mode button to switch between the input modes until HDMI appears on the monitor. If your HDMI video source is sending a signal to the monitor, the image will appear onscreen, and the status LED will glow green.

Attention: To avoid feedback when monitoring through the speaker, plug in headphones or turn down the volume by pressing and holding the Left Nav/Vol - button.

Composite Video Input: The FieldVision also has composite

video input for use as a wired standard-denition video monitor.

1. Use a composite video cable (not included) to connect your video source to the FieldVision's composite video input. Use an RCA audio cable (not included) to connect the audio output to the FieldVision's audio input.

2. Press the Mode button to switch between the input modes until AV appears on the monitor. If your composite video source is sending a signal to the monitor, the image will appear onscreen, and the status LED will glow green.

Note: When using the composite video input, your audio source must be plugged into the FieldVision’s audio input in order to monitor the sound.

Loop-Through: The FieldVision offers composite video loopthrough, also known as pass-through. To loop the video signal through the monitor, make sure the FieldVision is receiving a video signal from your composite video source, and then connect a compatible cable to the output connection on the monitor. Loop-through is not supported via HDMI.

Note: Any signal processing that is done by the FieldVision, such as focus assist, will not appear in the output of a loopthrough signal.

THE

SUNSHADE

The sunshade prevents glare on the monitor’s screen by blocking out stray light, and it's useful when shooting outdoors.

1. Insert the pegs of the

sunshade’s mounting frame into the slots on the front of the monitor.

2. Press the top of the

sunshade mounting frame down until it locks into place on the monitor.

3. Press the fabric side of

the sunshade onto the touch-connect strip on the mounting frame.

To remove the sunshade, pull it off of the mounting frame and leave the mounting frame attached for future use, or remove both the mounting frame and sunshade.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The FieldVision will not turn on.
