5.6” HDMI LCD Monitor QUICKSTART GUIDE
This function recalls user dened values settings .The user setting will remain in memory
indenitely and can be erased by using the reset option in the main menu.
The DSLR Scaling3function will allow users to extend their DSLR camera’s HDMI video
output any option of four – Normal, 3:2, 16:9 or Full Screen – convenience made simple.
Display a crosshair on the center of screen.
The LCD panel in this display has a native display of 1024 x 600 pixels. A signal of any
other resolution is scaled to t this native resolution. There may be time when it is
desired to view the incoming signal without scaling. Enabling Pixel to Pixel mode turns
off the scaling and displays a 1024x600 pixel window of the original image. Each pixel of
the panel displays one pixel of the original image. The user may use the arrow buttons
on the monitor face to move the window left, right, up and down to see the desired
portion of the image.
The VK5 is equipped with Monochrome Peaking features which highlight the desired
focus area in a bright, red outline. The operator adjusts the focus control until the red
indicator outlines on the desired area are razor sharp, indicating optimal focus. For the
best results, be sure the subject is properly exposed.
The False Color1feature utilizes a full spectrum of assigned color indicators, ensuring
awless shot exposure. As the camera Iris is adjusted, the subject of the image will
change color based on specic brightness values indicating optimal exposure. See
included chart for color assignments.
As an additional tool associated with the VK5’s False Color1feature, ikan’s exclusive
Adjustable Under Exposure and Over Exposed Waning feature gives the operator full
control of the VK5 False Color1brightness values. By setting the preferred IRE exposure
limits, the operator is warned when the image exposure is exceeding or falling under
the preset IRE limit, providing customizable, full image exposure control.
The VK5 offers adjustable upper Clip Guide2levels to accurately display overexposed
images in any shooting condition. The operator simply assigns the upper IRE to their
preference and any exposure over the set IRE limit will ash in a vivid purple, indicating
only the over exposed area.
