Camera Settings
The camera settings button near the bottom left of the master wheel lets you turn on the color
bars feature in Blackmagic Studio Cameras, Micro Studio Cameras and URSA mini, plus adjust
detail settings for each camera’s picture signal.
Each camera controller displays
the channel status so you
know which camera is on air.
Use the color wheels to adjust
each YRGB channel’s lift,
gamma and gain settings.
Show/Hide Color Bars
Blackmagic cameras have a color bars feature built in which you can turn on or off by
selecting ‘show’ or ‘hide’ color bars. This feature can be very useful for visually identifying
individual cameras while setting up for your live production. Color bars also provide an
audio tone so you can easily check and set the audio levels from each camera.
Detail
Use this setting to sharpen the image from your cameras live. Decrease or increase the
level of sharpening by selecting: Detail off, detail default for low sharpening, medium
detail and high detail.
Color Wheel
The color wheel is a powerful feature of the DaVinci Resolve color corrector and used
to make color adjustments to each YRGB channel’s lift, gamma and gain settings.
You can select which setting to adjust by clicking on the three selection buttons above
the color wheel.
Master Wheel
Use the master wheel below the color wheel to make contrast adjustments to all YRGB
channels at once, or luminance only for each lift, gamma or gain setting.
Reset Buttons
The reset button near the bottom right of each camera controller lets you easily choose
color correction settings to reset, copy or paste. Each color wheel also has its own
reset button. Press to restore a setting to its default state, or copy/paste a setting.
Locked controllers are not affected by the Paste feature.
The master reset button on the bottom right corner of the color corrector panel lets you
reset lift, gamma and gain color wheels plus Contrast, Hue, Saturation and Lum Mix
settings. You can paste color correction settings to camera controllers individually,
or all cameras at once for a unified look. Iris, focus, coarse and pedestal settings are
not affected by the Paste feature. When applying Paste to all, a warning message will
appear asking you to confirm your action. This is so you don’t accidentally paste new
settings to any unlocked cameras that are currently on air.
