Each camera controller displays the channel

Use the color wheels to adjust each YRGB
channel’s lift, gamma and gain settings.
Show/Hide Color Bars
Blackmagic cameras have a color bars feature built in which you can turn on or off by
selecting ‘show’ or ‘hide’ color bars. This feature can be very useful for visually
identifying individual cameras while setting up for your live production. Color bars also
provide an audio tone so you can easily check and set the audio levels from
each camera.
The camera settings button lets you turn
color bars on or off and adjust the in-camera
sharpening of connected Blackmagic cameras.
