Display settings screen with zebra set to 100%. This will let you
see which areas of your image are over exposed.
SDI overlays set to 'all' with the HDTV frame guide. Your
selected overlays can be viewed independently via URSA's
10" fold out monitor, touchscreens and SDI outputs. Press the
'disp' button on the fold out monitor to independently cycle
through the SDI overlay settings on the fold out monitor.
10" Brightness
On Blackmagic URSA, move the '10" brightness' slider icon left or right to adjust brightness for the
10" fold out monitor.
Zebra
To activate and adjust the zebra setting, tap the left and right zebra arrow icons.
The zebra helps you achieve optimum exposure by displaying diagonal lines over areas of the video
that exceeds your set zebra level. For example, setting the zebra to 100% shows which areas are
over exposed.
Simply open the lens aperture until the zebra pattern appears, then gradually close the aperture until
the zebra pattern disappears. To achieve optimum exposure, you may need to decide which areas
of your picture to leave over exposed. Car headlights and extreme highlights are a good example
of what can often be left over exposed.
SDI Mode
Use this setting to switch Blackmagic URSA's 12G-SDI output between 4K and HD video.
When the recording resolution is set to HD, only HD will be output.
Overlay Settings
You can monitor your video with overlays via the fold out monitor and touchscreens. Overlays can
also be viewed via URSA's HD-SDI monitoring output and 12G-SDI output. To choose an overlay to
display, tap the overlay setting arrow icons:
Off: gives you a clean feed.
Status: displays only the recording information, such as f-stop number, frame rate and shutter angle.
Guides: displays only the frame guides.
All: displays both frame guides and recording information.
5" LCD Overlays
On Blackmagic URSA, select 'on' or 'off' to enable or disable a touchscreen's overlays.

This setting lets you choose which overlays to display via the rear 12G-SDI output.
