  • Page 19 Top, front Connectors side, front CION offers both front and rear connections to make cabling and balancing of monitoring devices easier and more ergonomic. Typically, if you are connecting an electronic viewfinder, you will want to use the front SDI Monitor connector. If your electronic viewfinder does not offer an SDI input connection, a front mounted HDMI connection is also offered.
  • Page 20 If you do power your electronic viewfinder or monitor using the CION 2-Pin Power Connector, be aware that if you power down CION, power will still be provided via this connection so to conserve battery life, be sure to power down the electronic viewfinder or monitor when CION is powered down.

    Note that there is a “Low Battery” warning prompt that users should take note of and stop recordings in progress if at all possible before battery failure. CION can sometimes manage to close the file before the battery stops providing sufficient power, but this is not always possible due to the nature of some batteries and the duration of some recordings.

    In actuality, the 360 degree value is fractionally less than 360 degrees. Helpful Hint: If you are more familiar with still photography, you may find it useful to configure CION to display the shutter values as speeds and if you are more familiar with film or motion pictures, you may find it more useful to configure the CION to display shutter values as angles.
