The Elvid OCM-7B-DV2 FieldVision is an on-camera monitor
with HDMI and composite audio and video inputs, as well
as composite video loop-through. The 7˝LCD panel’s native
resolution is 1024 × 600, with an aspect ratio of 16:10 (native)
that you can set to 4:3, 16:9, Full Screen, and two zoom
presets. The onscreen menu makes it easy to ne-tune your
image, and it offers adjustments for brightness, contrast, hue,
sharpness, color temperature, and saturation. There are also
broadcast-specic features like safety frame markers and
multiple display formats.
The FieldVision is equipped with advanced tools like Check
Field to help calibrate the monitor, a Focus setting to ne-tune
your focus, and Camera mode to scale the incoming video
signal when shooting on a DSLR. Onboard programmable
function buttons provide quick shortcuts to Check Field and
Focus Assist modes, safety frames, color temperature, and the
onscreen volume bar. There’s also an integrated speaker and
a 3.5 mm stereo headphone output for live audio monitoring.
A removable sunshade is included to minimize glare when
shooting outdoors.

POWERING
OPTIONS
There are two ways to power the FieldVision: AC or the
included rechargeable battery.
CAMERA BATTERY
The FieldVision’s built-in battery mounting plate accommodates
a Sony L-Series type battery. This allows you to power the
monitor with a readily-available battery type that you may
already own. For more information on compatible battery
types, refer to
Specications on page 26.
9
To install a compatible battery,
follow these steps:
1. Place a compatible battery in
the battery plate. Make sure
the battery’s bottom contacts
are aligned with the contacts
in the battery plate.
2. Slide the battery forward
until it locks into place.

10
To turn on the FieldVision, press the power switch to the
On position. The FieldVision will turn on and enter standby
mode, and the status LED will glow orange.
If your video source is connected, the picture will appear on
the screen, and the status LED will glow green. If your video
source is not connected, a blue screen will display a no-signal
message.
To turn the screen off, press the power button. The screen
will go black, and the status LED will glow red to indicate
that the power is on and the screen is in sleep mode.

11
AC POWER
To run the FieldVision with AC power, use a 12 V DC adapter to
connect the FieldVision’s DC power input to your AC power source.
To turn on the FieldVision, press the power switch to the On
position. The FieldVision will turn on and enter ready mode,
and the power status LED will glow orange.
If your video source is connected, the picture will appear on the
screen, and the status LED will glow green. If the video source is
not connected, a blue screen will display a no-signal message.
To turn the screen off, press the power button. The screen will
go black, and the status LED will glow red to indicate that the
power is on and the screen is in sleep mode.

12
MOUNTING THE FIELDVISION
Use the FieldVision’s 1/4″-20 threaded socket to attach the
monitor to your mounting system or use the included ball
head. Make sure your bracket can support the monitor.
CONNECTING THE VIDEO SOURCE
HDMI Input: The FieldVision is equipped with an HDMI input
for use as a wired high-denition video monitor.
1. Use a compatible HDMI cable (such as the included mini to
full-size HDMI cable) to connect your HDMI video source to
the FieldVision’s HDMI input.
2. Press the Mode button to switch between the input modes
until HDMI appears on the monitor. If your HDMI video
source is sending a signal to the monitor, the image will
appear onscreen, and the status LED will glow green.
Attention: To avoid feedback when monitoring through the
speaker, plug in headphones or turn down the volume by
pressing and holding the Left Nav/Vol - button.
USING THE
OCM-7B-DV2

13
Composite Video Input: The FieldVision also has composite
video input for use as a wired standard-denition video monitor.
1. Use a composite video cable (not included) to connect your
video source to the FieldVision's composite video input.
Use an RCA audio cable (not included) to connect the audio
output to the FieldVision's audio input.
2. Press the Mode button to switch between the input modes
until AV appears on the monitor. If your composite video
source is sending a signal to the monitor, the image will
appear onscreen, and the status LED will glow green.
Note: When using the composite video input, your audio
source must be plugged into the FieldVision’s audio input in
order to monitor the sound.

14
Loop-Through: The FieldVision offers composite video loop-
through, also known as pass-through. To loop the video signal
through the monitor, make sure the FieldVision is receiving
a video signal from your composite video source, and then
connect a compatible cable to the output connection on the
monitor. Loop-through is not supported via HDMI.
Note: Any signal processing that is done by the FieldVision,
such as focus assist, will not appear in the output of a loop-
through signal.

15
THE
SUNSHADE
The sunshade prevents glare on the monitor’s screen by
blocking out stray light, and it's useful when shooting outdoors.
1. Insert the pegs of the
sunshade’s mounting
frame into the slots on
the front of the monitor.
2. Press the top of the
sunshade mounting
frame down until it locks
into place on the monitor.
3. Press the fabric side of
the sunshade onto the
touch-connect strip on
the mounting frame.
To remove the sunshade, pull it off of the mounting frame and
leave the mounting frame attached for future use, or remove
both the mounting frame and sunshade.

For greater efciency while using the FieldVision, you can use
the buttons on the front of the monitor as shortcuts to various
functions instead of cycling through the onscreen menus.
