Power Requirements
Only DC Voltage powers this product.
AC voltage can be used with an appropriate AC/DC converter
Recommended AC power adaptors:
CineMonitorHD6SBL Evolution Transvideo AL30
CineMonitorHD8Evolution Transvideo AL30
CineMonitorHD8SBL Evolution Transvideo AL30

The input power voltage range is extremely wide from 10 to 36 V DC (except specified
differently). The power consumption slightly varies with the input voltage, the operating
temperature and the equipment configuration.
The internal power supply is protected against reverse polarity.
Over voltage may cause severe damages to the equipment and/or to other equipment
connected to it.
For safety of use the CineMonitorHD Evolution family feature a galvanic insulation of the
DC input. Do not connect the power ground to the chassis of the monitor or to the
metallic body of the power connector in order to keep the galvanic insulation. The
galvanic insulation is rated at 1000VDC. The chassis of the monitor is connected to the
video ground.

OPERATION
Sart-Up & Power
The ON/OFF Switch is on the back of the monitor.
The product needs a certain time to reach its nominal brightness.
This time can vary with the temperature.
When using the optional Battery Holder, the switch of the battery holder overpasses the
switch of the monitor.
In OFF position, the power consumption is null.
WARNING RISK OF FIRE:
It is always recommended to remove the power source from the monitor when you do
not use it and/or when you travel. Especially if you place the monitor in a closed
environment (bag, box, …).
Using the direct functions
Several direct functions are available from the keypad (chapter "INTRODUCTION"section
"Product Overview")
One short press on a key gives access to the function.
One long press (more than 2 seconds) on a key gives access to the sub functions of the
related function (if any). Pressing F1…F4 enables to adjust those sub functions.
Using the sub functions F1…F4
Sub function keypad (F1…F4) is used to adjust optional functionalities of a direct function
(if any).
Depending of the function, options and environment, the content of F1…F4 may differ.
Pressing a key will activate or deactivate the sub function. An activated sub function is
highlighted by an orange text while an inactivated function prompts in white.
In some specific case, F4 may extend the selection to a second page of sub menu.

OPERATION
Page 14 CineMonitorHD Evolution
Using the rotating knob
The menu knob is a rotating encoder with a push function. It is used to access and
navigate in the menus, adjust some parameter values, validate and exit functions by
turning or pushing it.
Pushing the knob gives access to the menu structure while rotating the knob enables to
navigate between the menu items.
Pushing the knob gives access to the sub menu of the highlighted menu item.
Selecting EXIT exits from the current menu level to the previous (if any). A long push on
the knob exits from the menu. Exiting the menu is also possible by automatic
temporization, adjustable in MENU / TECHNICAL.

DIRECT FUNCTIONS
Colorimetry Temperature Dimming
Switches between 3 color calibration modes:
FULL BRIGHT: Maximum brightness and power consumption, the color calibration is
deactivated.
STANDARD CALIBRATED: Standard mode, the brightness (100Nits) and white point are
calibrated according to the settings of MENU / COLORIMETRY.
USER SET: Turning the rotating knob adjusts the brightness from 10 to 100% while color
calibration is preserved. Allows having a reduced power mode between two takes.
Sub functions gives access to the settings of the Standard Calibration mode:
F1: D56
F2: D65
F3: MANUAL (Adjustable in MENU / COLORIMETRY)
It is necessary to wait a few seconds after pressing the key before loading of the correct
lookup table.
Markers
Displays the marker(s) selected in sub functions with F1…F4.
Not active when ZOOM or FORMAT 2.40:1 are selected.
This menu is contextual; some functions can be unavailable depending of the input
format.

Second page
F1: SAFE AREA
F2: n/a.
F3: n/a.
F4: < Go to previous page
When SAFE AREA is selected in the sub menu, one short press on the Marker key
displays "TURN TO ADJUST SAFE AREA: XX%". Rotating the knob makes it possible to
adjust the safe area on the picture from 10 to 99%. SAFE AREA is selected by default at
start-up or after a reset and with a value of 90%.

DIRECT FUNCTIONS
Page 16 CineMonitorHD Evolution
Measure (Waveform, Histogram, Vectorscope)
Displays the measurement tools selected in the sub functions F1…F3:
F1: WAVEFORM F2: HISTOGRAM F3: VECTORscope
The brightness of the reticule and of the spot as well as the background transparency in
overlay mode (for waveform and vectoscope) can be adjusted in MENU / TOOLS /
MEASUREMENT.
White and black clipping alert can be configured in MENU / TOOLS / LIMITS. The same
limits are used for the waveform and the histogram. Setting these limits is useful to have a
visual alert on the waveform and histogram representation of the video signal if there is a
risk of overexposure or of loss of black details.
Waveform
Selecting "F1: WAVEFORM" gives access to another sub menu.
Pressing F1…F3 selects waveform mode (line, parade or frame). One short press on the
knob exits from measurement menu. Then pressing the Measure key switches between
the different views of the selected waveform mode (if any).
F1: LINE
Displays one single spot (Y, Red, Green or Blue)
F2: PARADE
Displays Y, R, G, B, Cr & Cb in parade mode.
Available modes: YRGB / YGBR / RGB / GBR / YCrCb

DIRECT FUNCTIONS
Operator Manual Rev 2.0 Page 17
F3: FRAME
Displays Y, R, G, B in frame mode (or sweep mode).
The content of one frame/picture is displayed.
Pressing the Measure key gives the possibility to adjust the size of the waveform by using
the rotating knob (3 sizes available).

DIRECT FUNCTIONS
Page 18 CineMonitorHD Evolution
Histogram
Selecting "F2: HISTOGRAM" displays directly the representation.
One short press on the knob exits measurement menu. Then press Measure key gives the
possibility to adjust the scale of the histogram by using the rotating knob.
Vectorscope
Selecting "F3: VECTOR" displays directly the representation in overlay mode.

DIRECT FUNCTIONS
Operator Manual Rev 2.0 Page 19
Zoom
Displays the HD picture in full resolution mode (pixel to pixel).
Depending of the input format, the magnification ratio can be different.
Displays the SD picture in full screen.
In this case there is an important magnification ratio applied to the original picture. The
resultant picture includes created pixels and lines and cannot be considered as a proof. In
this mode the waveform will be superimposed to the picture.
Arrows move the picture on Top/Bottom, Left/Right positions. Moving increments are
proportional to 1/8 of the video standard. Fine adjustment can be made by rotating the
rotating knob.
A long push on the Zoom key centers the picture, the next push sends back to the full
picture display.
During the zoom mode a pictogram is displayed in the right side of the tool zone.
This pictogram indicates the relative position of the magnified zone in the original picture.
Aspect Ratio
Allows the change of aspect ratio between:
1.33:1 4/3 SD only
1.78:1 16/9 HD & SD
2.40:1 HD & SD
3.20:1 HD & SD (2.40 anamorphic lens on a 1.78 sensor)
No sub functions in Aspect Ratio
