This page is used to
turn frame lines and
cross hairs ON and OFF
in VF1 VF2 and the
MONITOR ouputs of the
Genesis.
CENTER TYPE selects 1 of 4 types of center cross hairs.
SAFETY SIZE selects the percentage area of the 16x9 (“16 by 9”)
SAFETY frame only. It is not used for 1.85 or 2.40.
Every frame line can be displayed in each of 3 separate outputs:
VF1 and VF2 (the 2 viewfinder multipin plugs on camera front)
MONI (the MONITOR BNC output on side of camera).
Usually VF1 is used for the viewfinder, and MONI goes to the on-
board monitor, and then onwards to other on-set monitors.
Each of the following frame lines can be individually turned ON and
OFF for each of the 3 outputs:
MARKER - turns all frame lines on or off
CENTER - is the center cross hair selected above in CENTER TYPE
SAFETY - is a 16x9 safety determined by the SAFETY SIZE above
EFFECT - is the 16x9 "full aperture" or "effective" pixel area
CURSOR - is the user-definable frame you will use to sketch out
1.85, 2.40 and any other format that is not 1.78. The BOX CURSOR
is defined in on page O4 discussed below.
This page should be programmed in consultation with the camera
operator and director of photography
When MARKER is ON in this page, all the frame lines can then be
toggled ON or OFF by means of the Viewfinder ASPECT switch.
