1. Features

DT -X71F

◆ New high resolution 7” LCD Panel

16:9, 1024×600, 16.77 million colors, 900:1
contrast, and H160°/ V160°viewing angle.

◆ Multiple inputs

2 HD/SD-SDI, 1 HDMI and 1 Composite input.

◆ Loop through outputs

Each of the 2 input HD/SD-SDI has loop through
output.

◆ HDMI converted to SDI output

Supported HDMI formats: 480i / 576i / 720p (50,

59.94, 60) / 1080i (50, 59.94, 60) / 1080P (23.98
24, 25, 29.97, 30), and the output SDI will embed
the audio (48KHz) from HDMI.

◆ Waveform (Y, Cb, Cr, R, G, B) and full scale

There are totally 6 kinds of waveform display,
available under both SDI and HDMI, to check the
Luminance (Y), Blue-difference (Cb),
Red-difference (Cr), Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B),
and the Y, Cb, Cr can be simultaneously displayed,
R, G, B can be simultaneously displayed, and
each of the waveforms can be set to full scale
display.

◆ Vector scope

The displayed vector scope pattern is available
under both SDI and HDMI, represents saturation
as distance from the center of the circle, and hue
as the angle, in standard position, around it.

◆ Histogram (R, G, B)

The histogram is a bar graph that shows the
distribution of luminance values in the picture.
There’re R, G, B histograms that individually
displayed simultaneously, available under both
SDI and HDMI.

◆ 16-ch audio meter

Under HDSDI, it displays 16 channels audio bars,
with mark, and under SDSDI or HDMI, it displays
2 channels audio bars with mark. The audio bar is
green, and will turn yellow when audio exceeds

-20dB, and turn red when exceeds -10dB.

◆ SDI timecode

Under SDI input, it can display the SMPTE
timecode, which is used extensively for
synchronization, and for logging and identifying
material in recorded media.

◆ Peaking focus assist (red/blue switch)

The Peaking focus assist function is to mark the
sharpest edges of the image with red or blue color,
for users to check if the subjects are focused.

◆ Zebra stripes

Zebra Stripes are used to check if the image is
over exposed or not by showing black and white
lines on the monitor. It is considered over exposed
when luminance value exceeds 90%.

◆ False color

The false color is used to aid in the setting of
camera exposure. Under false color mode, there’s
a false color key on the bottom of screen for
reference. The over exposed subjects (above 101
IRE) on the monitor will display as RED, and the
underexposed subjects will display as BLUE. For
correct exposed subjects, it will display as green
and pink.

◆ Blue Only

Under the Blue Only Mode, only the blue pixels
are used to generate the image, because hue and
saturation can be adjusted quicker and more
accurately.

◆ DSLR scale zoom in

The Canon DSLR outputs the CMOS sensor ratio
HDMI and this zoom in mode can make the
effective image scale full screen on the monitor.

◆ G-sensor auto flip

Enable the G-sensor auto flip, the image will
rotate automatically when monitor is bottom up.

◆ User definable function keys
