Function Menu Organization

Function Menu

The Function Menu allows you to assign user selectable functions to any of the 5 function buttons (F1, F2, F3,
F4, & F5) on the monitor keypad. Many monitor features listed as assignable options in the function menu are
also selectable via the embedded menus and are present simply to provide an option for faster, single button
press, access to the desired function. Other features listed require a Function Key for activation , but may have
associated customizable settings that can be found in other menus. To assign a function to a function key high­light one of the 5 Function lines and press ENTER. A list of assignable functions will appear. Select the desired
function with the UP and DOWN buttons and press ENTER to assign that function to the corresponding Function
Key. The Function Display option listed under Function 5 gives you the option to have a temporary confirmation
window appear on screen after a function key is pressed that will ID the function that was turned On/Off. A re­view of assignable functions is listed below.

Assignable Functions
 Scopes & VU Meters 1, 2, 3

These functions toggle On/Off a Scopes & VU Meters profile. Three profile slots are available from the
Scopes & VU Meters Menu and each profile can bet set to a specific function key allowing you to instantly
toggle between various types of Scope and/or Audio Level Meter configurations. Please note that if you have
set both Scopes Windows to the Off position in the Scopes & VU Meters menu nothing will appear on screen
when you toggle this function. More information on Scope profiles can be found here.

 Cross Hatch

The Cross Hatch function toggles on/off the onscreen display of a graphical cross hatch overlay.

 Blue Only

This function activates the monitor’s Blue Only mode.

 Marker 1, 2, 3

These functions activate the onscreen display of the preset Area, Safety, Custom Graticules, or Active
Boundary Markers as set in the Marker Profiles. Marker presets can be customized via the Marker menu. By

utilizing this function you can toggle on/off your selected markers with a single function key after setting up
your marker preferences in the Marker menu (see Marker Menu section of this manual for more details).

 Overscan

The Overscan function is selectable both via the Video Menu or an assignable function key. The Overscan
function can work with 1:1 Pixel mapping mode On or Off. With 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapping mode turned off
the Overscanned image is scaled full screen. With 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapping mode turned on the image re­mains unscaled, but the area lying outside of the Active Scan area is blacked out. This blacked out area rep­resents the same area not visible with Pixel to Pixel mode off. For details on Overscan mode see the Video

Menu section of this manual.

*NOTE: Many features (Waveform, Vector
Scope, Audio Level Meters, etc.) require a
function key in order to operate. Some
menus (such as the Scopes & VU Meters
menu) only set your display preferences
while a corresponding function key must
be assigned to turn the feature on and
off. If you are having trouble with a moni­tor feature make sure you have assigned
the proper function key and any corre­sponding menu settings.

Function Menu (continued)

Assignable Functions (continued)
 Sub Window

The Sub Window function enables a Picture by Picture mode. After assigning the Sub Window function to a
function key the first key press of that function key will result in a picture by picture display of your active in­put. Once sub window mode is active you can press down on the H POS rotary knob to freeze the image on
the left while the image on the right will continue to show your live source. Once frozen you can also switch to
any other input provided that the resolution of that input is the same as the frozen source. However, you can­not view two live inputs simultaneously. To exit sub window simply press the assigned function key again.

 Pixel Mapping

The Pixel Mapping function toggles between various available pixel mapping options. Options vary depend­ing on the incoming source, but may include the following:

 1:1 Pixel Mapping. 1 pixel of incoming source is displayed as 1 pixel onscreen. If the incoming source

resolution is less than the total pixel count of the monitor your source will not fill the screen, this is often
referred to as a postage stamp representation of the source. If the incoming source resolution is greater
than the total pixel count of the monitor then only a portion of the incoming source will be shown on­screen, but the pixel position function may be used to view different sections of the 1:1 pixel representa­tion. The monitor’s tally light will flash to remind you that you are in 1:1 pixel mapping mode if any portion
of the image is not shown on screen when in 1:1. This pixel mapping mode can be combined with the SD
Aspect Function (Anamorphic toggle) to activate a PAL SD FHA viewing mode on the monitor.

 2:1 Pixel Mapping (SD sources only): Every individual pixel of the incoming source is represented by four

pixels onscreen. This scaling algorithm is simple and allows for a largely artifact free double size version
of the 1:1 Pixel Mapping Mode for SD sources. While 2:1 scaling will still not fill the entire screen on a
1920x1080 resolution monitor, it does use a majority of the vertical screen height and provides an excel­lent quality large scale representation of the SD source.

 Full Screen Mapping: The full screen mode will scale the incoming source to fill as much of the screen as

possible while preserving the incoming source’s native aspect ratio. If the incoming source and panel
share the same resolution then there will be no difference between 1:1 pixel mapping and full screen pix­el mapping.

Please note that the Overscan function will be represented differently based on the pixel mapping selection
that you select. Please see the Video Menu section of this manual for details.

 Pixel Position

This function provides a toggle for positioning a 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapped representation of an incoming
source on different areas of the screen. Once assigned to a function key each key press will move the source
to a different onscreen position. Please note that if the incoming source is the same resolution as the LCD
panel the image will not move. The pixel position function does not work unless the 1:1 Pixel to Pixel map­ping mode function is turned On. On 7” and 17” monitors this function can be used with the Pixel to Pixel
Mode to view any section of a 1080 source in a native 1:1, unscaled format. Similarly, on all native
1920x1080 or 1920x1200 resolution monitors this mode will allow you to view any portion of an incoming 2K
source in an unscaled 1:1 onscreen representation.

 H/V Delay Mode

This modes activates the Horizontal and Vertical Delay Function to highlight the horizontal and vertical blank-

ing portions of the incoming signal.

 Mono Mode

This mode activates the monochrome function. Press once to turn on and again to turn off.

 Zoom

This function zooms in on the incoming source until the entire screen is filled. This is strictly a zooming func­tion and does not alter the native aspect ratio of the source to fill the screen. When viewing a 4:3 source in
Zoom mode on a 16:9 display the aspect ratio of the visible video will remain 4:3 though the entire 16:9
screen will be filled. Essentially the Zoom mode results in viewing a 16:9 section of the 4:3 source and is
most useful when viewing a letterboxed SD source on a widescreen display so that the letterboxing is not
shown and only the video within the letterboxing is present.

Function Menu (continued)

Assignable Functions (continued)
 SD Aspect Ratio

Toggles between 4:3 and Anamorphic display of Standard Definition source. This function should be set to
match the SD source being viewed. The default setting is 4:3. This function can also be toggled via GPI con­tact closure or through the SD Aspect setting on the Video Menu.

 Full Screen

This function simply stretches any incoming source to fill the entire screen. Unlike the Zoom feature this full
screen stretch does not preserve aspect ratio, but it does keep all of the active video signal present. Though
the full screen mode has many potential uses it was designed primarily for use with rasterizers that generate
a 16:10 or 16:9 aspect 1024x768 output. Enabling Full Screen mode allows the monitor to stretch the image
as intended by the rasterizer.

 Pixel Zoom

Once assigned to a function button this feature allows you to toggle the Pixel Zoom feature on/off. When
turned on this feature will generate a positionable and resizable rectangle on screen. The rectangle may be
moved left or right using the H POS (PHASE) rotary knob and up or down using the V POS (CHROMA) rotary
knob. The REF POS (BRIGHT) rotary knob may be used to change the size of the onscreen rectangle. Using
these three rotary knobs you can select any area on screen and then press down on the REF POS rotary
knob to zoom to the selected area. This pixel zoom feature is designed to work with any HD signal formats. A
Flashing Tally light will be activated on your monitor whenever you are in a zoomed mode as a reminder/
warning that the entire incoming signal is not being shown on the monitor. To exit the zoomed mode simply
press down on the REF POS rotary knob once more. To exit the Pixel Zoom feature entirely simply press the
function button assigned to this feature once more.

 LUM Coloring

This function generates an artificial luminance map of the incoming source that can be particularly useful in
identifying overexposed areas in any given shot. An onscreen scale helps indicate what artificial color corre­sponds to what luminance level. The scale will follow the selected Waveform Scale set in the Scopes & VU
Meters Profile 1: you can choose from IRE, Digital Levels, or Voltage. In its default configuration the LUM
Coloring feature will highlight all levels above 100IRE as white and all levels below 0 IRE as black. In default
mode levels between 0 and 100
IRE will be color coded. However,
you can change the range of the­se color coded regions to any
preferred setting by using the
monitor’s rotary knobs. The H
POS rotary knob will adjust the
lower limit of the lower color cod­ed region. The V POS rotary
knob will adjust the upper limit of
the lower color coded region. The
Ref Pos rotary knob will adjust
the lower limit of the upper color
coded region. The F Stop Rotary
knob will adjust the upper limit of
the upper color coded region.
These color coded ranges are
retained in memory so you can
exit and reenter LUM Coloring
Mode without having to reset
your desired threshold levels.

 Measurement

This function allows you to get precise real time YRGB measurements of any point or area within your incom­ing signal. To toggle this feature on/off simply press the function key you have assigned to the Measurement
function to display a movable crosshair onscreen. With the Measurement function on you can use the H
POS (PHASE) and V POS (CHROMA) rotary knobs to position your crosshair over the point within your
source that you would like to measure. To reset the vertical or horizontal position of your crosshair back to
center simply press down on the corresponding rotary knob. You may also use the REF POS (BRIGHT) rota­ry knob to select the size of the sampling area for the measurement data (from a single pixel to a much larger
area where the values will be an average of all pixels within your defined sample area). As you move the
crosshair your Measurement data will update in real time. The Measurement function is available in a 10 bit
mode or 8 bit mode and will provide you with the following data in real time:

 Line and Sample (Identifies position of your crosshair)
 Y (Luminance as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)
 Y% (Luminance level expressed as percentage)
 R% (Red level expressed as percentage)
 G% (Green level expressed as percentage)
 B% (Blue level expressed as percentage)
 R (Red level as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)
 G (Green level as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)
 B (Blue level as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)

You can also press the REF POS rotary knob (F.D. / BRIGHT / Ref Pos.) to set a reference position on­screen. Once your reference position is set it will be indicated on screen by a separate crosshair and you will
be able to move the active crosshair to obtain a real time readout of your current and reference positions as
well as a separate readout of the precise difference between current and reference locations. Please note
that your reference position is both a spatial and temporal reference meaning that the values indicated on
screen for the reference are for that point on screen at the moment you set the reference.

Pressing the F Stop (Contrast) rotary knob button allows you to set your current crosshair position as an F­Stop Reference and view differences between this current position and your reference position as an F-Stop
value. The F-Stop reference feature is independent of the REF POS feature. The F-Stop reference value will
always be based on the levels of your current active crosshair position at the precise moment when the Con­trast knob is pressed.

The crosshair color will follow the color selected for markers from the Marker Menu. To change the color of
the Measurement function’s crosshair change the Marker color.
