6. Run-Time, Capacity & Data
(9)
A single button-press, whether the battery is on or off-load,
displays charge status in terms of percentage. When batteries are
linked this figure still relates to the battery’s individual capacity.
The lights indicate remaining capacity in percentage blocks:
6.3
In-Viewfinder Battery Status
Battery status can be shown as a percentage of available capacity in
the viewfinder/LCD of cameras designed to accept this data. Different
data standards are used by camera and battery manufacturers. PAGlink
V-Mount batteries automatically adjust the data output standard to
support SMB (Sony) and I
2
C (IDX).
When the batteries are linked, the data displayed in the viewfinder/
LCD is for the combined capacity available.
Red Cameras and Reversed SMB
PAGlink V-Mount batteries can be programmed easily by the user to
provide capacity data in the viewfinder of Red cameras that use the
reversed SMB data protocol.
Press the display button twice, and hold down on the second press
until ‘RED’ appears (on the numeric display) or until the top 2
segments are lit (5-light indicator). This indicates that the battery is
now compatible with the reversed SMB data protocol. When the
battery is connected to a camera with a different data protocol it will
automatically adjust to communicate with that system. To return to
reversed SMB, repeat the two-button-press process.
