The Function Menu allows you to assign user selectable functions to any of the 5 function buttons (F1, F2, F3, F4, & F5)

on the monitor keypad. Many monitor features listed as assignable options in the function menu are also selectable via the

embedded menus and are present simply to provide an option for faster, single button press, access to the desired function.

Other features listed require a Function Key for activation , but may have associated customizable settings that can be

found in other menus. To assign a function to a function key highlight one of the 5 Function lines and press ENTER. A list of

assignable functions will appear. Select the desired function with the UP and DOWN buttons and press ENTER to assign

that function to the corresponding Function Key. The Function Display option listed under Function 5 gives you the option

to have a temporary conrmation window appear on screen after a function key is pressed that will ID the function that was

turned On/Off. A review of assignable functions is listed below.

Scopes & VU Meters 1, 2, 3

These functions toggle On/Off a Scopes & VU Meters prole. Three prole slots are available from the Scopes & VU Meters

Menu and each prole can bet set to a specic function key allowing you to instantly toggle between various types of Scope

and/or Audio Level Meter congurations. Please note that if you have set both Scopes Windows to the Off position in the

Scopes & VU Meters menu nothing will appear on screen when you toggle this function (see Scopes & VU Meters Menu

section of this manual for more details).

Cross Hatch

The Cross Hatch function toggles on/off the onscreen display of a graphical cross hatch overlay.

Blue Only

This function activates the monitor’s Blue Only mode.

Marker 1, 2, 3

These functions activate the onscreen display of the preset Area, Safety, Custom Graticules, or Active Boundary Markers as

set in the Marker Proles. Marker presets can be customized via the Marker menu. By utilizing this function you can toggle

on/off your selected markers with a single function key after setting up your marker preferences in the Marker menu (see

Marker Menu section of this manual for more details).

Overscan

The Overscan function is selectable via an assignable function key. The Overscan function can work with 1:1 Pixel mapping

mode On or Off. With 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapping mode turned off the Overscanned image is scaled full screen. With 1:1 Pixel

to Pixel mapping mode turned on the image remains unscaled but the area lying outside of the Active Scan area is blacked

out. This area represents the same area not visible with Pixel to Pixel mode off.

WARNING: Changing a function button

assignment does NOT automatically

turn an active function off. Make sure to

disable unwanted active functions before

changing function button assignments.

NOTE: Many features (Waveform,

Vector Scope, Audio Level Meters,

etc.) require a function key in order

to operate. Some menus (such as

the Scopes & VU Meters menu)

only set your display preferences

while a corresponding function

key must be assigned to turn

the feature on and off. If you

are having trouble with a monitor

feature make sure you have

assigned the proper function key

and any corresponding menu

settings.

Details on Overscan Function

With the overscan function Off all active lines of video can be displayed on screen. With overscan On a small percentage

of the outermost active video will not be displayed. Additionally, the monitor can scale the overscanned video full screen

or ‘blackout’ the outlying area while maintaining a pixel to pixel display of the video inside the active scan area. To toggle

between these variations of Overscan use the 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapping function (see Function menu section of this

manual). With both Pixel to Pixel mapping and Overscan selected the area outside of the active scan will simply be blacked

out, but the active video will not be scaled outside of the 1:1 pixel scan. With Pixel to Pixel mapping Off and overscan On

the active scan area will be scaled full screen. To view all active lines in Pixel to Pixel mapping mode make sure to turn

Overscan Off.

Function Menu

Sub Window

The Sub Window function enables a Picture by Picture mode. After assigning the Sub Window function to a function key the

rst key press of that function key will result in a picture by picture display of your active input. Once sub window mode is

active you can press down on the H POS rotary knob to freeze the image on the right while the image on the left will continue

to show your live source. Once frozen you can also switch to any other input provided that the resolution of that input is the

same as the frozen source. However, you cannot view two live inputs simultaneously. To exit sub window simply press the

assigned function key again.

Pixel Mapping

The Pixel Mapping function toggles between various available pixel mapping options. Options vary depending on the

incoming source, but may include the following:

1:1 Pixel Mapping: 1 pixel of incoming source is displayed as 1 pixel onscreen. If the incoming source resolution is less

than the total pixel count of the monitor your source will not ll the screen, this is often referred to as a postage stamp

representation of the source. If the incoming source resolution is greater than the total pixel count of the monitor then

only a portion of the incoming source will be shown onscreen, but the pixel position function may be used to view different

sections of the 1:1 pixel representation. The monitor’s tally light will ash to remind you that you are in 1:1 pixel mapping

mode if any portion of the image is not shown on screen when in 1:1. This pixel mapping mode can be combined with the

SD Aspect Function (Anamorphic toggle) to activate a PAL SD FHA viewing mode on the monitor.

2:1 Pixel Mapping (SD sources only): Every individual pixel of the incoming source is represented by four pixels onscreen.

This scaling algorithm is simple and allows for a largely artifact free double size version of the 1:1 Pixel Mapping Mode for

SD sources. While 2:1 scaling will still not ll the entire screen on a 1920x1080 resolution monitor, it does use a majority

of the vertical screen height and provides an excellent quality large scale representation of the SD source.

Full Screen Mapping: The full screen mode will scale the incoming source to ll as much of the screen as

possible while preserving the incoming source’s native aspect ratio. If the incoming source and panel share

the same resolution then there will be no difference between 1:1 pixel mapping and full screen pixel mapping.

Please note that the Overscan function will be represented differently based on the pixel mapping selection that you select.

Pixel Position

This feature is a part of the Pixel Mapping function and provides a toggle for positioning a 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapped

representation of an incoming source on different areas of the screen. Once pixel mapping is active the H POS knob

will move the source to a different onscreen position when pressed. Please note that if the incoming source is the same

resolution as the LCD panel the image will not move. The pixel position feature does not work unless the 1:1 Pixel to Pixel

mapping mode function is turned On. On 7”, 9”, and 17” monitors this feature can be used with the Pixel to Pixel Mode

to view any section of a 1080 source in a native 1:1, unscaled format. Similarly, on all native 1920x1080 or 1920x1200

resolution monitors this mode will allow you to view any portion of an incoming 2K source in an unscaled 1:1 onscreen

representation.

H/V Delay Mode

This mode activates the Horizontal and Vertical Delay Function to highlight the horizontal and vertical blanking portions of

the incoming signal.

Mono Mode

This mode activates the monochrome function. Press once to turn on and again to turn off.

Zoom

This function zooms in on the incoming source until the entire screen is lled. This is strictly a zooming function and does

not alter the native aspect ratio of the source to ll the screen. When viewing a 4:3 source in Zoom mode on a 16:9 display

the aspect ratio of the visible video will remain 4:3 though the entire 16:9 screen will be lled. Essentially the Zoom mode

results in viewing a 16:9 section of the 4:3 source and is most useful when viewing a letterboxed SD source on a widescreen

display so that the letterboxing is not shown and only the video within the letterboxing is present.

Return to Table of Contents

Function Menu

SD Aspect Ratio

Toggles between 4:3 and Anamorphic display of Standard Denition source. This function should be set to match the SD

source being viewed. The default setting is 4:3. If used in conjunction with 1:1 pixel mapping this function can also activate

a PAL SD FHA viewing mode.

Full Screen

This function simply stretches any incoming source to ll the entire screen. Unlike the Zoom feature this full screen stretch

does not preserve aspect ratio, but it does keep all of the active video signal present. Though the full screen mode has

many potential uses it was designed primarily for use with rasterizers that generate a 16:10 or 16:9 aspect 1024x768 output.

Enabling Full Screen mode allows the monitor to stretch the image as intended by the rasterizer.

Pixel Zoom

Once assigned to a function button this feature allows you to toggle the Pixel Zoom feature on/off. When turned on this

feature will generate a positionable and resizable rectangle on screen. The rectangle may be moved left or right using the

H POS (PHASE) rotary knob and up or down using the V POS (CHROMA) rotary knob. The REF POS (BRIGHT) rotary

knob may be used to change the size of the onscreen rectangle. Using these three rotary knobs you can select any area on

screen and then press down on the F Stop (4th from left) rotary knob to zoom to the selected area. This pixel zoom feature

is designed to work with any HD signal formats. A Flashing Tally light will be activated on your monitor whenever you are in

a zoomed mode as a reminder/warning that the entire incoming signal is not being shown on the monitor. To exit the zoomed

mode simply press down on the F Stop (4th from left) rotary knob once more. To exit the Pixel Zoom feature entirely simply

press the function button assigned to this feature once more. The Pixel Zoom function allows for an essentially artifact free

high quality zoom on any portion of an HD signal.

LUM Coloring

The F Stop Rotary knob will adjust the upper limit of the upper color coded region. These color coded ranges are retained in

memory so you can exit and reenter LUM Coloring Mode without having to reset your desired threshold levels.

LUM Coloring with Custom Range

This function generates an articial luminance

map of the incoming source that can be

particularly useful in identifying overexposed

areas in any given shot. An onscreen scale

helps indicate what articial color corresponds

to what luminance level. The scale will follow

the selected Waveform Scale set in the Scopes

& VU Meters Prole 1: you can choose from

IRE, Digital Levels, or Voltage. In its default

conguration the LUM Coloring feature will

highlight all levels above 100IRE as white and

all levels below 0 IRE as black. In default mode

levels between 0 and 100 IRE will be color

coded. However, you can change the range of

these color coded regions to any preferred

setting by using the monitor’s rotary knobs.

The H POS rotary knob will adjust the lower

limit of the lower color coded region. The

V POS rotary knob will adjust the upper limit

of the lower color coded region. The Ref

Pos rotary knob will adjust the lower

limit of the upper color coded region.

Function Menu

Measurement

This function allows you to get precise real time YRGB measurements of any point or area within your incoming signal. To toggle

this feature on/off simply press the function key you have assigned to the Measurement function to display a movable crosshair

onscreen. With the Measurement function on you can use the H POS and V POS rotary knobs to position your crosshair over

the point within your source that you would like to measure. To reset the vertical or horizontal position of your crosshair back

to center simply press down on the corresponding rotary knob. You may also use the REF POS rotary knob to select the size

of the sampling area for the measurement data (from a single pixel to a much larger area where the values will be an average

of all pixels within your dened sample area). As you move the crosshair your Measurement data will update in real time.

The Measurement function is available in a 10 bit mode or 8 bit mode and will provide you with the following data in real time:

• Line and Sample (Identies position of your crosshair)

• Y (Luminance as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)

• Y% (Luminance level expressed as percentage)

• R% (Red level expressed as percentage)

• G% (Green level expressed as percentage)

• B% (Blue level expressed as percentage)

• R (Red level as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)

• G (Green level as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)

• B (Blue level as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)

You can also press the REF POS rotary knob to set a reference position onscreen. Once your reference position is set

it will be indicated on screen by a separate crosshair and you will be able to move the active crosshair to obtain a real

time readout of your current and reference positions as well as a separate readout of the precise difference between

current and reference locations. Please note that your reference position is both a spatial and temporal reference meaning

that the values indicated on screen for the reference are for that point on screen at the moment you set the reference.

Pressing the F Stop rotary knob button allows you to set your current crosshair position as an F-Stop Reference

and view differences between this current position and your reference position as an F-Stop value. The F-Stop

reference feature is independent of the REF POS feature. The F-Stop reference value will always be based

on the levels of your current active crosshair position at the precise moment when the F-Stop knob is pressed.

The crosshair color will follow the color selected for markers from the Marker Menu. To change the color of the Measurement

function’s crosshair change the Marker color.

Focus Assist

To activate this function simply set it to a function key. Pressing the assigned function key will turn the focus assist feature

on and pressing it again will turn it off. The focus assist feature is comprised of two main parts: a numerical focus meter

and a graphical focus highlight. The numerical focus meter is shown on screen as your current focus value over your

reference focus value (i.e. 560/300). When the focus assist feature is activated the rotary knob labeled Ref POS allows

you to adjust the reference focus value. The reference focus value represents the in-focus threshold for the focus highlight

portion of the focus assist feature. Adjusting the focus reference value higher means that the threshold at which the

focus highlight begins to trace in-focus items with a red boundary will be higher. In other words a greater degree of focus

will need to be achieved before the focus highlight feature is visible on screen as a red trace around in-focus objects.

Level B Variable Wipe

When monitoring a Level B 3Gbps SDI signal (monitor must have 3Gbps SDI Input) comprised of two multiplexed 1.5Gbps

HD-SDI signals the monitor will allow you to view these signals in a vertical or horizontal split screen mode. By activating the

Level B Variable Split function while in split screen mode the positioning of the split can be adjusted using the H POS rotary

knob. To quickly reset the split screen positioning to the default center position simply press down on the H POS rotary knob

while the Level B Variable Wipe function is active. Once your desired split screen wipe position is set you can the Level B

Variable Wipe function off to remove the guide line between the two signals.

Still Frame

This function allows you to freeze a video source at anytime. To unfreeze simply press the function key assigned to still

frame a second time.

DSLR Zoom

This function is designed to be used with many popular DSLR cameras that have preview/record monitoring output in 1080

& 480 resolutions. When DSLR Zoom is active the 16:9 area that will be recorded is scaled to ll the screen. On DSLR

cameras that switch from 1080 to 480 while recording the DSLR Zoom can be left on and the same correct aspect zoom will

be maintained regardless of whether the DSLR is in preview or recording mode. While DSLR Zoom is active the markers

may also be turned on and will be correct relative to the 16:9 video that will be captured to the camera’s memory card. Please

note it may be necessary to toggle the viewing mode preference (Info button on many DSLRs) to ll the screen correctly.

AFD (Active Format Description)

Anamorphic De-Squeeze

This feature gives you the ability to de-squeeze HD signals coming from cameras utilizing anamorphic lenses that may not

have a built in de-squeeze feature of their own. This can be particularly useful in applications outside of post production,

especially onset monitoring, where de-squeezing such signals in real-time may otherwise not be possible. The de-squeeze

modes available are 1.3, 2.0, and 2.0mag. This feature is in addition to, and not a substitute for, the SD Aspect Ratio function.

To use this feature set Anamorphic DeSqueeze to a function button, which will allow you to toggle the de-squeeze on and

off. To set the desqueeze ratio/magnication go to the Video Menu and select your desired Anamorphic De-Squeeze mode.

Anamorphic De-Squeeze Modes

Activating this function will enable an Active Format Description

reader on the monitor that will provide both a text readout of AFD

data and display corresponding markers onscreen indicating

the portions of the image described by the AFD code. If no AFD

data is present while this feature is active the monitor will show

AFD: NONE in its AFD readout window.

Function Menu

Invert Screen (LM-0950W Only)

Allows the image to be ipped onscreen in real-time. This function only works on the LM-0950W.

CX Scale

This scaling mode was designed specically to allow the scaled down and top centered ’gate check’ output from Codex™

ARRIRAW Recorders to be scaled full screen. Once assigned to a function key you can quickly enter or exit this custom

scaling mode with a single button press. Please note that some functions, such as markers, will not work while this mode is

active. However, other useful functions such as Waveform and Vector Scope will continue to operate normally.

C-Log, S-Log, and BMD-Log Modes (Also selectable via Video Menu)

These mode allows for easier on-set monitoring of uncorrected of C-Log, S-Log, or BMD Cinema Camera Film Mode Output

by roughly normalizing the footage. For all Log modes there is both a Standard and Full selection. The Standard selection

is suitable for most applications, but does clip highlights to allow for a brighter overall image. The Full mode is best used for

scenes with extremely wide latitude or scenes that are just very bright overall. Full mode preserves the entire native latitude

of the signal (nothing is clipped), but this can result in a rather dark image in many applications. We provide both for this

reason and you can quickly toggle between them as needed for different applications by assigning these modes to function

keys. These modes should only be used to offer on set viewers a rough normilization of the footage to give them an idea of

what the content might look like as a starting point in post production. In other words, it provides you with a helpful tool to

show on set viewers something that does not look ‘at’. These modes are not a replacement for full 3D LUT transforms and

not a substitution for proper color correction in post production applications.

Rec. Status Tally

This function is designed for use with cameras that output Start/Stop Record ags in the ancillary data of their serial digital

output. To activate this function set Rec. Status Tally to a function button and press that function button once. While active

the monitor’s red tally light will turn on when the Start Record SDI ag is detected and will turn the red tally light off when the

Stop Record SDI ag is detected.

On-Screen Tally

When activated this function will generate an onscreen box that mirrors the status of the physical tally on the monitor’s bezel.

This can be particularly useful in applications where the physical tally may be obscured.

Toggles between three Marker Proles. Each prole stores all marker preferences and can be recalled from the function

menu by assigning a function button to a specic marker prole.

Area Marker

Use the Area Marker function to select what type of marker is displayed when the marker function is active. The marker

selections available from this option include most commonly used markers and more complex user designed custom

markers. Area Markers and Safety Markers may be displayed simultaneously provided that the Marker Background function

(described below) is set to Normal.

Safety Marker

Use the Safety Marker function to toggle the size, in percentage, of the safety marker displayed. This option can be used by

itself or in conjunction with the Area Marker function provided that the Marker Background function (described below) is set

to Normal. The Safety Marker may be displayed relative to the incoming source or the Area Marker by toggling the Safety

in Area option on the Marker Menu.

Marker BG.

The Marker Background function can be used to toggle how the area that lies outside of the Area Marker or Safety Marker

boundaries is represented. You can select from normal, which does not alter the outlying area, Transparent, which shades

the outlying area with a translucent cast, or Solid, which mattes out the outlying area with your selected marker color.

Center Marker

Toggles whether the center marker (crosshair) is displayed when the marker is activated.

Marker Color

This function allows you to select the color of the marker being used. This function can be especially useful when one color

dominates the screen and an easily visible high contrast marker is desired.

Active Boundary

When turned on, the Active Boundary marker will highlight the edges of any active video area not directly bordering the

monitor’s bezel. This function is useful for detecting missing lines in the active video area.

Safety in Area

Toggles whether Safety Marker is shown relative to incoming source or relative to Area Marker (i.e. 4:3)

Graticules

Toggles Custom Marker Feature On/Off. Use rotary knobs to adjust line positioning.

NOTE: The Marker Menu only sets

your marker preferences. To toggle the

onscreen display of your congured

marker assign the Marker function to one

of the function keys. See the Function

This function allows you to specify the desired gamma response of the monitor in 0.2 step increments ranging from a

gamma response of 1.8 to 2.8 as well as 2.35 and 1.0. The default gamma setting is 2.2, but any selection may be chosen

for instant adjustment of the monitor’s gamma response. The monitor will override this manual selection in DCI-P3 mode

(unless SDI Format is set to XYZ) & operate with a 2.6 gamma response. Attempting to change the value while in DCI-P3

mode will result in the monitor exiting this color space mode.
