Tapping button brings up OLED monitor settings. Controls are for the Od OLED
panel only and will not affect the recorded signal or the signal from any of the device’s
outputs. The Od display is capable of presenting the full contrast and color
gamut of both the REC709 and DCI-P3 standards.
Assuming a standard, properly attenuated video signal from the camera source, the
display defaults are 100% for SATURATION, CONTRAST, BRIGHTNESS, Red/Green/
Blue GAINS and R/G/B BIASES. Adjustable ranges are 50%-140%. BASE standard is
Medium and COLOR GAMUT is REC.709. Unless otherwise noted, any standard video
source accepted by the Od should be a REC709-compliant signal, not DCI-P3,
which is for digital cinema displays.
ORIENTATION controls the vertical orientation of the image on the OLED display.
TEST PATTERN replaces the video signal with SMPTE color bars. This is the only
control that also affects the video outputs.
MORE TOOLS alternates the button on the Lower Tool Bar to the right of the
timecode display between the FALSE COLOR tool and the MONOCHROME DISPLAY
tool (for details see page 32).

settings. Presets available are 1.33:1, 1.85:1 and 2.39:1. Press CREATE CUSTOM
GUIDE to bring up the Custom Guide menu. Name and save up to four custom frame
guides. Left/Right control sets frame sides. Top/Bottom control sets frame lids. Linking

LUT
LUT
Tapping button activates the chosen LUT on the OLED display. Holding button brings up
the LUT menu.
A Look Up Table (LUT) is a set of exposure, contrast and color offsets to adjust an image.
Originally designed as a tool to indicate on one display how an image would appear on
a different type of display, LUTs have expanded to also become tools to preview color
grading decisions. The Od includes numerous 3D-LUTs for previewing the LOG
video outputs of several popular cameras in standard REC709 contrast and color. The
RAW record options also feature monitoring LUTs.
