When 'status text' is turned on for your camera's front SDI output, you can use the menu
wheel to navigate many of the head up display features usually accessed via the LCD
touchscreen.
Simply press the menu wheel as you would a button to access your URSA Broadcast's
head up display on an external monitor such as Blackmagic SmartView, Video Assist or
URSA Viewfinder. While the menu wheel is active, turn the wheel to select features
such as LCDmonitor options, frame rate, ISO, white balance and tint. Press the wheel to
confirm selections and make additional changes, and use the 'back' button next to the
wheel to cancel. You can also use the back button to move up a menu level, or exit the
menu completely if you're at the top level. The menu will automatically close after one
minute of inactivity.
For more information on setting status text and the controls available, see the
'touchscreen controls' and 'monitor settings' sections of this manual.
