ENG Menu
From the main menu press ‘ENG’ to access the less frequently used settings for the
camera.
Format
The camera head can be set to many HD formats. Note that the up/down function buttons
will step through the various available formats without actually changing the format. The
format will only change when leaving this menu by using the left or right menu buttons. The
following formats are available directly from this menu:-
1080p59.94, 1080i59.94, 1080p29.97, 1080p50, 1080i50, 1080p25, 1080p23.97
720p59.94, 720p29.97, 720p50, 720p25.
It is also possible to set the formats to 60, 30 and 24 hz instead of 59.94, 29.97 and 23.97
This has to be done using the OSD menu on the video output screen as described below.
Press the OSD button on the RCP which will activate the top level menu. Now press the
Right Hand Menu button above the LCD display to select Mode. From Mode use the
up/down buttons below the LCD display to access the HD Format Menu by pressing Select
again. To set the NTSC formats to 60, 30 and 24 ensure that the NTSC Enable function is
set to Disable. Now go to the format setting option and use the left/right buttons below the
LCD display to select the required format. When the correct format is displayed press
Select (right hand menu button above LCD) to change to that format. Then use the OSD
button and press until the OSD display screen is removed. Press Exit to exit the LCD menu
back to the Main menu again. This new format will be saved if the camera is switched off.
H Phase
This is used to adjust the horizontal phase of the Genlock timing. It steps one pixel at a time
unless the button is held down in which case it will step in steps of 20.
V Phase
This has a range of 0-15. Each step represents one line of adjustment. The default setting
is 15 which is no advance. As the setting is reduced more timing advance is added to the
system timing.
ABS/Rel (Absolute / Relative)
The default here is ‘Absolute’ which means that as the colour knobs are rotated they set the
camera colour to absolute values sent from the RCP.
If ‘Relative’ is selected then the
variable controls (red & blue gain, master black and iris) only send increase or decrease
commands to the camera. This can be useful when
operating in ‘Multi-Camera’ mode and
more than one RCP has control of a particular camera.
