Function Menu
Invert Screen (LM-0950W Only)
Allows the image to be flipped onscreen in real-time. This function only works on the LM-0950W.
CX Scale
This scaling mode was designed specifically to allow the scaled down and top centered ’gate check’ output from Codex™
ARRIRAW Recorders to be scaled full screen. Once assigned to a function key you can quickly enter or exit this custom
scaling mode with a single button press. Please note that some functions, such as markers, will not work while this mode is
active. However, other useful functions such as Waveform and Vector Scope will continue to operate normally.
C-Log, S-Log, S-Log2, S-Log 3 and BMD-Log Modes (Also selectable via Video Menu)
These modes allow for easier on-set monitoring of uncorrected of C-Log, S-Log, S-Log2, or BMD Cinema Camera Film
Mode Output by roughly normalizing the footage. For all Log modes there is both a Standard and Full selection. The
Standard selection is suitable for most applications, but does clip highlights to allow for a brighter overall image. The Full
mode is best used for scenes with extremely wide latitude or scenes that are just very bright overall. Full mode preserves
the entire native latitude of the signal (nothing is clipped), but this can result in a rather dark image in many applications.
We provide both for this reason and you can quickly toggle between them as needed for different applications by assigning
these modes to function keys. These modes should only be used to offer on set viewers a rough normilization of the footage
to give them an idea of what the content might look like as a starting point in post production. In other words, it provides you
with a helpful tool to show on set viewers something that does not look ‘flat’. These modes are not a replacement for full 3D
LUT transforms and not a substitution for proper color correction in post production applications. For more advanced Log
mode normalization use a custom 3D DIT LUT.
Rec. Status Tally
This function is designed for use with cameras that output Start/Stop Record flags in the ancillary data of their serial digital
output. To activate this function set Rec. Status Tally to a function button and press that function button once. While active
the monitor’s red tally light will turn on when the Start Record SDI flag is detected and will turn the red tally light off when the
Stop Record SDI flag is detected.
On-Screen Tally
When activated this function will generate an onscreen box that mirrors the status of the physical tally on the monitor’s bezel.
This can be particularly useful in applications where the physical tally may be obscured.
Picture In Picture (PIP) - Live Side by Side and Picture In Picture Viewing
On BM and CM series monitors (excluding CM-170W), the Picture In Picture function will allow you to toggle Picture In
Picture. Corresponding controls can be found in the System Menu to change your PIP Secondary Input and PIP Mode,
allowing you to select Picture In Picture, Picture And Picture (Side-By-Side Monitoring), or Picture On Picture.
Max Sharpness
In addition to the Sharnpess Level Setting found on the Video Menu there is an assignable function called Max Sharpness
that will allow you to use a function button to toggle in/out of maxium sharpness mode quickly.
Dual Link
CM & BM sereies units equipped with FSI’s second generation Color Fidelity Engine (CFE2) can support Dual Link SDI
(2 x 1.5Gpbs SDI) in addition to single link 3Gbps SDI for advanced signal format support. 3Gbps SDI is the preferred
connectivity method if available, but if single link 3Gbps SDI output from your source is not available you can use the Dual
Link funciton to activate Dual Link SDI support. To activate this capability first select SDI 1 as your input. Then set Dual Link
to a function button. Then press that designated function button to to turn on Dual Link mode. Once active you may need to
set your SDI format manually if no payload ID is present in the signal. To do this go to the SDI format section of the Video
Menu and select the appropriate format.
4K Display (CFE2 Units Only)
This feature is currently in limited beta testing only. Further support & documentation may be offered in conjunction with
future firmware releases.
