Turning the monitor on and selecting a signal source
The power switch is located on the back of the monitor. Once the monitor is turned on,
the screen will turn blue and display the LUMAHAWK logo. Push the input selector button
that corresponds to the source signal you wish to display. The source's input button will

Attaching the sun hood
Always close the sun hood before attaching it to or removing it from the monitor.

To attach the sun hood to the monitor insert the two teeth towards the bottom on
the hood's frame into the two slots on the front of the monitor, just above the control
buttons. With the teeth inserted all the way in, apply firm pressure on the top of the
hood's frame and slide it down into the slot.
•
To open the hood, lift the top panel up followed by the left panel out and then the right
panel out (i.e starting with the top panel, open in a counter-clockwise order.)

To close the hood, start with the right panel going in, then the left and finally the top
(i.e opposite order from opening)
•
To remove the hood, first close it. Then push the hood frame upwards towards the top
of the monitor and lift away from the monitor face.

Using the Tally Indicator Light kit
The PRO800 comes with a Tally Indicator kit. When attached to the monitor and the
appropriate switching station, it will cause the tally light on the front of the monitor to change
color when the camera is recording and when it's in standby mode.
To use the Tally kit, connect Tally signal line from the switching station as indicated below:
Active connection:
•
When GND and G with 0-5V voltage wire are shorted to ground access
•
When the voltage is 0.3-2.7V, the Tally light turns green.
•
When the voltage is 2.8-5.5V, the Tally light flashes red.
Passive connection:
•
When GND, R +, G are all shorted, the Tally light flashes red.
Signal Pass-through
The LMM-PRO800 features HDMI, SDI-HD, Composite and Component output ports that allow
for unmodified signal pass-though.
This means that additional monitors can be attached to the PRO800 via these output ports.
These additional monitors will receive the unmodified signal (e.g. no centre markers or check
field display) from their corresponding original input sources.
