INTRODUCTION

PRECAUTIONS

Thank you for choosing Elvid. The Elvid FieldVision OCM-7PWV is a
professional 7″ video monitor that’s packed with features to help you
optimize your image. The FieldVision is equipped with 3G-SDI and HDMI
inputs with loop-through, plus component and composite video inputs for
exible connectivity. The 7″ LED panel’s native resolution is 1280 × 800,
and you can set the aspect ratio to full screen (16:10), 16:9, or 4:3.

The FieldVision incorporates onscreen graphs including waveform, zebra
exposure indicator, false color display, and histogram to provide a visual
guide so you can achieve precise exposure levels. Other tools such as
peaking to ne-tune your focus, and RGB Parade histogram and vectorscope
to check color saturation and accuracy make it easy to rene your picture.
There are also broadcast-specic features like underscan, safety frame

markers, tally lights, and H/V delay.

There are a variety of options for personalizing the FieldVision to suit your

specic needs. Choose from a palette of 19 functions from which you can set
each of the four function buttons to provide shortcuts for enabling modes,
graphs, and scopes. You can also reassign the four knobs to adjust volume,
sharpness, and the backlight instead of using their pre-labeled functions.

There’s an integrated speaker and a 3.5 mm stereo headphone output for
live audio monitoring, plus an onscreen audio meter for checking audio
levels as you record.

The FieldVision contains a variety of power options so you won’t have to

scramble to power it. Available battery plates and an included adapter plate
let you mount common standard camera batteries or, for longer run-times,
three-stud and V-mount batteries. The FieldVision also comes with a power
and tally cable to run the monitor via 4-pin XLR or AC sources and to take

advantage of your studio tally system.

Histogram, Level Meter, and Wave/Vector. Functions not

already explained above are as follows:

COLOR BAR

Display color bars onscreen.

ZOOM

Zoom into the onscreen
image. When the video is

1080i, the available levels
of zoom are 2x and 8x. All

other resolutions can zoom

at 2x, 4x, and 8x.

22 23

PEAKING

Peaking is a focus-assist
tool that displays an
outline around in-focus
areas of the image. You
can choose mono or
color. Mono will display a
grayscale image with a red
fringe around the areas
that are in focus, and color
will display the full-color
image with the same red
fringe.

FALSE COLOR

This mode replaces the
color of the image with
set colors (see chart) so
you can determine how

your image is exposed.

The higher—or hotter—the

exposure, the closer the
colors will be to the top
of the chart. As exposure

decreases, the color will
descend through the chart.

EXPOSURE

Exposure mode displays
an animated black and
white outline, or zebra
exposure indicator, around

areas of the image that are

overexposed.

HISTOGRAM

The histogram indicates

the level of exposure from

light to dark and shows
what percentage of the

image is at what exposure
level. It can be set to Y to
show the overall exposure
level; Color to show an RGB

parade of red, green, and

blue levels on individual
scopes; and RGB to show

all four levels on the same
scope.

CUSTOMIZING THE KNOBS

You can assign the knobs,
labeled R1 through R4

in the Custom Functions
menu, to the following
settings: Contrast,

Brightness, Saturation,

Tint, Volume, Sharpness,

and BackLight.

All customizations are
available in the Custom

Functions menu. The
