Switch Bank 2 – Reticule Overlay
The second bank of switches control the reticule overlays. This overlay engine is very flexible and can be
user programmed with other aspect ratios via the internal rotary switches and saved in non-volatile
memory. This allows the creation of film aspect ratios or video aspect ratios specific to the project at hand.

The next switches define what type of overlay is to be used. Each type can be enabled or disabled
individually. The user can use the factory default settings or program their own and save those settings.
Use the internal rotary switches, defined in the next section to program the user settings. Place S2-6 to user
presets (ON). This feature gives a total of eight different overlays of which four can be used at one time.
