Settings can be accessed using the touchscreen menus. Press
the 'menu' button to open the touchscreen settings. Navigate
the settings by tapping the icons on the left side of the

settings. You can also access camera settings by pressing
the 'disp' button below a touchscreen until the dashboard
appears, then tapping the settings icon.
The touchscreens provide scopes to help set optimum
exposure, focus and audio quality. The battery indicator
changes to the external power icon when external power is
plugged into the 12-20V XLR input.

Touchscreens

Each work station features a touchscreen so you can monitor your recordings, view scopes, apply
settings and activate camera features.
By pressing the 'disp' button you can switch between viewing your clips during recording and
playback, you can open the dashboard where you can access camera features and apply settings,
or you can view scopes and status information. Scopes are provided to assist with focusing, setting
exposure and audio monitoring.

Touchscreen Features

Status Strip
Your chosen settings are always displayed on a status strip at the top of each touchscreen, showing
a convenient summary of your camera's settings.
Power Indicator
The power indicator displays a battery icon when using battery power, or an external power icon
when plugged into external power via the 12-20 Volt XLR input.
Duration Display
The duration display provides a timecode counter for checking the duration of your clips and
monitoring timecode during recording and playback. The counter displays a time sequence showing
Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames and will progress through the sequence as you record or play back clips.
The displayed duration of each clip starts from 00:00:00:00 for the first clip, or from the end of the
previous recorded clip. For example, if a clip stopped recording at 00:06:25:00, the next clip will start
recording at 00:06:25:01.
Clip duration is displayed on the touchscreen, however time of day timecode is embedded into your
clips for post production, so it's worth regularly checking the time settings in the 'camera' settings
menu to make sure they are always accurate.
