Status Text
Toggles the appearance of status text, such as white balance, frame rate and ISO.
When 'status text' is turned 'on' in your URSA Broadcast's 'front SDI' monitor settings,
you can use this setting toggle its appearance in your Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder.
For more information, see the 'Monitor Settings' section in this manual.
IR Sensor
The IR Sensor on your viewfinder automatically detects when you are near the eyepiece and
turns on the OLED display. If you are away from the viewfinder for over twenty seconds in
'standby' mode, display turns off to conserve power and to extend the life of the OLED display.
While recording, the timeout sensor is extended to 5 minutes, at which point the OLED display
will be slowly dimmed. Any movement in front of the eyepiece will reset this timer. The
viewfinder will detect when you look into the viewfinder eyepiece, pressing any button on the
viewfinder will also turn the display back on.
Deliberately blocking or covering the IR sensor could cause the viewfinder’s
display to remain powered for prolonged periods of time. This could decrease the
lifespan of the display and cause image retention if high contrast images or frame
guides are displayed on the viewfinder.
The IR sensor is located at the
bottom of the URSA Viewfinder
NOTE
Enabling 'Grid' in your URSA Viewfinder setup menu will also allow your
viewfinder to display tally signals sent from an ATEM switcher. Overlays must
also be set to 'on' in the display menu.
TIP
When using Blackmagic Viewfinder with URSA Broadcast, the appearance
of status text can clash if both the viewfinder and camera are set to show status
text. In this situation, we recommend turning status text to 'on' in your camera,
and status text to 'off' in your viewfinder.
