MON OUT
The MON OUT is a 422 1.5G single link HD-SDI output. The output
range is fixed to legal range.
• Frame rate: The MON OUT frame rate can be set to 23.976, 24, 25,
29.97 or 30 fps. The frame rate should, if possible, match the
sensor frame rate to avoid frame drops or duplicate frames on
the output, which would result in jittering images when image
content is moving.
• Scan format: Defines how images are transmitted.
− P: Progessive. Images are transmitted line by line from left to
right, starting at the top-left pixel.
− Psf: Progressive segmented. Images are first split into fields,
which are then transmitted line by line from left to right.
• Gamma defines the contrast curve that is applied to the images.
The user can choose between REC709 video and CINEON log.
− REC709 video: Gamma according to ITU.R-BT709 standard.
Images are prepared for playback on standard broadcast
monitors
− Log C (no matrix): Gamma according to Cineon specification.
Images are prepared for output to film material or DI-like
treatment. Images will appear flat on a standard broadcast
monitors, the use of external devices to apply a LUT, such as
TCube, is a must to get visually pleasing images on a
monitor.
Note: Log C (no matrix) can only be chosen if the Recording
gamma is set to Log C (no matrix).
• Surround view: The ALEV III sensor has 10% additional pixels
outside the recorded image for a better monitoring experience.
The user can decide whether he wants to see these 10% in the
MON OUT or not. By switching surround view on, objects that are
not wanted in the image, such as microphone booms, can be
seen by the operator before they enter the image.
