Mirror : Mirrors another screen at the same resolution. You cannot mirror a screen that is set to Clean. The
Mirror option is available based on the settings of the other attached monitors, and includes the name of
the monitor that you can mirror.
You can only set four monitors to Overlay at a time. To assign additional monitors to Overlay, mirror another
monitor that has the same resolution and is set to Overlay.
OVERLAY
Select which overlay shows on top of the video. There are several default overlays that are always available and
are denoted by the (RED) at the end of the overlay name. You can create custom overlays in the Overlay tab.
For more information about creating overlays, go to “Overlay” on page 49 .
RESOLUTION
Determines the resolution of the monitor. This option is only available for HDMI and HD-SDI monitors since the
resolutions for LCD/EVF monitors are determined automatically. Available options are:
720 P
1080 P
FREQUENCY
Determines the frequency of the monitor. The available frequencies depend on the selected monitor. For HD-
SDI monitors, the frequency depends on the project rate.
MONITOR CHECK BOXES
Tools : Enables the false color modes on the monitor. For more information about false color modes, go to
“Tools” on page 46 .
Flip/Mirror UI : The overlay is flipped vertically and mirrored horizontally (not rotated). This setting is useful
when mounting a monitor upside down. This setting does not change how your footage is captured; you
will only see the difference on the monitor.
Flip Video : The video footage is flipped horizontally on your monitor, so that it is upside down. This setting
does not change how your footage is captured; you will only see the difference on the monitor.
Framed Overlay : The video display is scaled down on the monitor so that the overlay items fit outside of the
video area rather than over it.
Auto Hide Menus : Hides the menus (top and bottom bars on the display). When this option is disabled, the
video is scaled so that the menus are not overlaid on the video. When this option is enabled, the video is not
scaled, and you can bring up the menus on the LCD by pressing the Menu button on the DSMC SIDE HAN-
DLE or by tapping the screen. This lets you have a control surface on a monitor without having to scale the
video. Enabling this option on a non-control surface results in the menus never displaying on that monitor.
NOTE: If you have two touch LCDs attached to the DSMC with the same resolution and one is currently the con-
trol surface, you can set the other to mirror it and give the effect of having two control surfaces.
OVERLAY
You can create custom overlays that include specific items and icons. Overlays can be stored on the camera
or transferred to SSD, so that you can build a library of overlays or quickly copy an overlay from one camera
to another via SSD.
Camera : Overlays that are saved internally on the camera and that display in the Overlay drop-down menu
on the Monitor Control: Monitor tab.
Media : Overlays that are on the SSD in the path shown (for example, S-SSD\Overlays).
NOTE: Overlays that end with (RED) are provided by default and cannot be edited, deleted, or exported.
OVERLAY ACTIONS
Create... : Create a new custom overlay using a blank new overlay template in the Overlay Editor.
