RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE

955-0020_V5.2, REV-C | 50

 Framed Overlay: The video display is scaled down on the monitor so that the overlay items fit outside of the

video area rather than over it.

 Auto Hide Menus: Hides the menus (top and bottom bars on the display). When this option is disabled, the

video is scaled so that the menus are not overlaid on the video. When this option is enabled, the video is not

scaled, and you can bring up the menus on the LCD by pressing the Menu button on the DSMC SIDE HAN-

DLE or by tapping the screen. This lets you have a control surface on a monitor without having to scale the

video. Enabling this option on a non-control surface results in the menus never displaying on that monitor.

NOTE: If you have two touch LCDs attached to the DSMC with the same resolution and one is currently the con-

trol surface, you can set the other to mirror it and give the effect of having two control surfaces.

OVERLAY

You can create custom overlays that include specific items and icons. Overlays can be stored on the camera

or transferred to SSD, so that you can build a library of overlays or quickly copy an overlay from one camera

to another via SSD.

 Camera: Overlays that are saved internally on the camera and that display in the Overlay drop-down menu

on the Monitor Control: Monitor tab.

 Media: Overlays that are on the SSD in the path shown (for example, S-SSD\Overlays).

NOTE: Overlays that end with (RED) are provided by default and cannot be edited, deleted, or exported.
