Mag Position Selects the position of the image that 
is magnified by the Mag function.
There are nine points on the screen 
that can act as the center point of the 
magnified image. This function sets 
the position of the magnified image as 
an area centered on one of these 
points. Each time the button is 
pressed, the area moves one position 
from top left to bottom right. When the 
display is magnified, the ASSIGN 
button allocated with the Mag Position 
function is lit.
Hi/Lo Key Temporarily changes LUT for checking 
the high-luminance brightness and 
low-luminance darkness of the image 
in the viewfinder and from the SDI 
OUT connectors. The button toggles 
between high-luminance check (gain 
reduction), low-luminance check (gain 
amplification), and normal.
The display returns to normal after 
about 30 seconds.
