VIDEO MONITOR OUTPUTS

NOTE: HD-SDI and HDMI

ports are only available on select DSMC2 expanders and modules. For more information,

go to "Input/Output Connectors" on page218.

The monitoring path converts RAW sensor data to a white balanced 12-bit depth 1920 x 1080 pixel RGB 4:4:4 video

signal. The signal may be modified using ISO, White Balance, or other RGB color space adjustments. The signal is

then scaled and gamma-corrected to provide monitor outputs at 10-bit depth in 4:2:2 YCC or 8-bit depth in 4:4:4

RGB.

The camera offers the following monitor outputs:

EVF/LCD: Supports a RED EVF or LCD display.

HD-SDI: Provides a 720p or 1080p output suitable for monitoring or recording to an external VTR or DDR device. It

may be configured for 10-bit LIN (VIDEO) or 10-bit LOG (FILM) encoded data.

HDMI: Provides a 480p, 720p, or 1080p output suitable for monitoring via a Windows

monitor or most HDTVs.

VIDEO MONITOR CATEGORIES

Video monitor outputs are separated into three (3) categories:

VIEWFINDER: The Upper Status Row, Live Action Area, and Lower Status Row display. Default output is the

EVF/LCD connector located on top of the camera. If an EVF or LCD is not connected, you can transfer the

VIEWFINDER output to either the HDMI or 3G-SDI (HD-SDI) output.

PROGRAM/Clean: None of the graphic overlays display.

PREVIEW: The Live Action Area and associated graphic overlays display.

For more information about changing the video monitor category of your monitor, go to "Monitor Mode" on page88.
