- Scan ­Use this menu option to choose Scan mode. There are three modes preset:

 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.

 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.

 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.

Note! Zoom option can ONLY be activated as user select [Zoom] mode under [Scan].

MAG].

- Overscan ­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

13

[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%).
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.

- Freeze ­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.

3-1-4. Waveform

- 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].

- [Y]: Display Y Waveform.

- [YCbCr]: Display YCbCr Waveform.

- [RGB]: Display R/G/B Waveform.

14

- Vector ­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.

15

- 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

16

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.

- 4 Bar Display ­Open the [4 Bar Display] to view the color of image.

3-1-5. Audio

17

- Volume ­To adjust the volume from [0]-[100] for the built in speaker and earphone jack audio signal.

- Audio Channel ­The monitor can receive 16 and 8 channels audio from SDI and HDMI signal. The audio channel can be
changed among CH1&CH2/CH3&CH4/CH5&CH6/CH7&CH8 (HDMI) or CH1~CH16 (SDI)

- Level Meter ­The right side of the on screen meters displays level meters showing audio levels for channels 1 and 2 of the
input source. It features peak hold indicators which stay visible for a short time so the user can clearly see
the maximum levels reached.
To achieve optimum audio quality, ensure the audio levels do not reach 0. This is the maximum level,
meaning that any audio that exceeds this level will be clipped, resulting in distortion. Ideally peak audio
levels should fall in the upper end of the green zone. If the peaks enter into the yellow or red zones, the
audio is in danger of clipping.

- Audio Vector ­Select whether to activate or deactivate audio vector. Audio phase can be monitored by the audio vector.

- Vector Ch ­In HDMI mode, select the vector channels from among [Ch1&Ch2], [Ch3&Ch4], [Ch5&Ch6], and [Ch7&Ch8].
In SDI mode, select the Vector Channels from among [Ch1&Ch2], [Ch3&Ch4], [Ch5&Ch6], [Ch7&Ch8],
[Ch9&Ch10], [Ch11&Ch12], [Ch13&Ch14], and [Ch15&Ch16].
