Display Status Text For Cinematographer or Director
Your URSA Broadcast's LCD touchscreen displays information such as ISO, white
balance, and aperture that is useful to a camera operator or cinematographer setting
up individual shots on that camera. URSA Broadcast's front and main SDI outputs,
however, can also show information useful to a director or script supervisor who is
keeping track of multiple shots or cameras.
Your URSA Broadcast can display director specific status
text on its front and main SDI outputs
Setting the status text to ‘director’ in your URSA Broadcast's 'front SDI' or 'main SDI'
monitor settings changes the status text for that output to show the following
information.
