FOCUS

This will emphasize edges in the image without changing brightness/image content so it is easier to

judge if the image is in focus. By adjusting your lens zoom and focus you can see which objects are

coming into and falling out of focus. When selected, the icon “F√” will be displayed in the Lower Status

Group.

VIDEO

VIDEO displays a multi-color color overlay that allows you to check the video level of the RGB monitor

path (calibrated to the SMPTE test signal) and any outputs driven from that path - such as HD-SDI and

HDMI. When selected, the icon “V√” will be displayed in the Lower Status Group.

Purple represents Super-Black, Dark Blue represents Black, Teal represents 3-stops under 18% Gray,

Green represents 18% Gray, Pink represents Skin Tone, Straw represents White, and Yellow, Orange

and RED represent various degrees of signal clipping in RGB space.

By adjusting ISO, FLUT and Shadow while looking at VIDEO check, the operator can ensure that Black,

White and 18% Gray values conform to the desired levels on the HD-SDI and /or HDMI outputs.
