MONITOR CONTROL

Use the Monitor Control menu to configure monitor and overlay settings, control surface priorities, brightness,

and gestures.

MONITOR

Select the monitor to configure from the drop-down menu at the top of the menu. The other settings on the

menu are applicable to the selected monitor.

NOTE: Changes to Monitor Control settings take effect when you close the menu.

MODE

Determines the elements displayed on the monitor:

 Clean: Only the video displays. The Upper Status Row, Lower Status Row, and overlays do not display.

 Overlay: The overlay displays. Overlays include the Upper Status Row and the Lower Status Row.

 Mirror: The monitor mirrors another screen at the same resolution. You cannot mirror a screen that is set

to Clean. The Mirror option is available based on the settings of the other attached monitors, and includes

the name of the monitor that can be mirrored.

NOTE: You can set a maximum of four (4) monitors to Overlay at a time. To assign additional monitors to Overlay,

mirror a monitor with the same resolution that is set to Overlay.

NOTE: When two (2) touchscreens are attached to the DSMC with the same resolution and one (1) is currently

the control surface, set the other to mirror it and give the effect of having two (2) control surfaces.

OVERLAY

Select which overlay shows on top of the video. RED provides preset overlays, which have “(RED)” in the

overlay name. Create custom overlays in the Overlay tab. For more information, go to “Overlay” on page 67.

RESOLUTION

Select the output resolution for HDMI and HD-SDI monitors (you cannot select a resolution for LCD and EVF

monitors, since these are determined automatically).

For more information about available resolutions, go to “HD-SDI Out” on page 178 and “HDMI Out” on page

179.

FREQUENCY

Determines the monitor frequency. Available frequencies depend on the selected monitor. For HD-SDI monitors,

the frequency depends on the project time base. For more information, go to “HD-SDI Out” on page 178 and

“HDMI Out” on page 179.
