On-Screen Menu (continued) VIDEO CONFIGURATION SUBMENU Video Configuration Submenu Color Temperature Use this setting to choose one of three color temperature presets: • • • • D55 (5500K) D65 (6500K) D93 (9300K) USER (Adjustable Color Bias and Gain) RGB Bias and Gain Select this submenu to adjust bias and gain of the monitor’s response to each color (R, G, B). The bias and gain controls can be used to alter the white balance of the image.
On-Screen Menu (continued) VIDEO CONFIGURATION SUBMENU (continued) Check Field Use the check field modes for monitor calibration or to analyze individual color components of an image. In Monochrome mode, all color is disabled and only a grayscale image is shown. In Blue, Green, and Red check field modes, all color components but one are disabled. Use the following procedure when calibrating the monitor to SMPTE color bars with the following procedure: 1.
On-Screen Menu (continued) VIDEO CONFIGURATION SUBMENU (continued) Pixel-to-Pixel Mode Use this setting to enable Pixel-to-Pixel mode. This mode bypasses the monitor’s internal scaling function and displays incoming images in their native resolution and aspect ratio, with a one-to-one mapping: • For incoming formats smaller than the native resolution of the LCD panel (800 x 480), the image will be displayed in the center of the screen using only the necessary LCD pixels.
On-Screen Menu (continued) MARKER CONFIGURATION SUBMENU Marker Configuration Submenu Markers Use this setting to enable or disable all on screen markers. This setting affects the center marker, full screen markers, 16:9 markers, and 4:3 markers. Center Marker Use this setting to display a center marker on the screen. 16:9 Markers / Full Screen Markers Use these setting to superimpose one of 11 markers on the screen when in Full Screen mode or 16:9 mode. • • • • • • • • • • • 4:3 13:9 14:9 1.
On-Screen Menu (continued) MARKER SETUP SUBMENU (continued) 4:3 Markers Use this setting to superimpose one of 5 markers on the screen when in 4:3 mode. This setting is disabled when the aspect ratio is set to 16:9, or when Pixel-to-Pixel, Underscan, or H/V Delay is enabled.
On-Screen Menu (continued) FILTER CONFIGURATION SUBMENU False Colors The V-LCD70P-HDA has a false color filter to aid the in setting camera exposure. As the camera Iris is adjusted, elements of the image will change color based on the luminance or brightness values. This enables proper exposure to be achieved without the use of costly, complicated external equipment. To best utilize this feature, you must understand the color chart below and have a basic understanding of camera exposure.
On-Screen Menu (continued) FILTER CONFIGURATION SUBMENU (continued) Peaking Filter (Focus assist) The Peaking Filter is used to aid the camera operator in obtaining the sharpest possible picture. When activated, all color will be removed from the display and a black-and-white image will remain. The internal processor will display RED color on the screen where sharp edges appear.
On-Screen Menu (continued) SYSTEM CONFIGURATION SUBMENU System Configuration Submenu Input Format OSD Use this option to enable on-screen display of input/format status in the upper-left corner of the screen.
