4) This image also shows another global function – from any screen the Main Menu button can be pressed which brings up the Monitor | Play | Setup | Storage | options on the
Multi-Function buttons. This can be used at any time to navigate to these screens.
5) From within the menus the left Multi-Function button can be used to go Back a level or to Monitor mode.
6) The Jog Wheel can be turned to navigate through lists in the menu.
7) The Select button is used to select from a list, whether it be a settings list or a shot list.
8) If there are less than 3 possible settings for a menu option these will be available on the Multi-Function buttons below the screen. If there are more than 3 options the Select button can be
used to open a list of all possible settings.
9) Some menu fields, such as the Shot Naming Rule, contain presets which are indicated by < and > symbols. On the Multi-Function buttons press the Next button to move through
presets, Accept to use a preset, or Cancel to leave the settings as they are.
10) Pressing Select on a text field (e.g. a metadata field in the shot Filecard) will open the text editor screen. Initially the Jog Wheel controls the position of the cursor. Backspace deletes
characters from where the cursor is located. Press Insert to bring up the row of characters that can be navigated using the Jog Wheel, and press Select to enter a character. The Shift
button can be pressed to cycle the character row through Shift, Caps, and Normal case modes. Exit Insert mode by pressing the Cursor button.
11) The battery level is always shown in the top left corner of the display.
12) The record time remaining is always shown in the top right corner of the display. If this symbol is flashing then it indicates either that there is less than 5 minutes of record time remaining, or
that there is an issue with the Roll on the Capture Drive which should be checked from the Storage screen.
The most important screens of the Control Panel display are:
Monitor/Rec
The video format is shown at the top of the screen as follows: <Video format> <Frame rate> <Storage format> <Wavelet compression quality>
Below the battery symbol is the shot name. In Monitor mode this is the name of the next shot to be recorded, and in recording mode it is the name of
the shot currently being recorded. Below this is the main timecode display, and to the right of this are the audio meters. Any warning or error messages
appear below the timecode display. Warnings are cleared from the display if the cause for the warning is corrected. Errors remain on the display until
you move to a different part of the menu system. The Next Scene button increments the scene number by 1 and resets the take number to 1.
The Review button plays back the last 10 seconds of the previous recording for a quick and easy gate check.
Options
These options can be used to change the playback behaviour as well as the type of timecode display. Uncompressed material can be played back at
any frame rate. Wavelet compressed material can be played back at frame rates within whichever of these two ranges it was recorded: 23.98-30fps or
47.95-60fps. A 1D LUT can be selected from here to be applied to the video outputs. See the LUTs section of this guide for further details.
Filecard
The Filecard is where shot metadata can be viewed and edited. This can be accessed in Monitor mode in order to prepare the metadata (e.g. Scene
and Take values) for the next shot, or from the Shots list for any previous recordings. When a change has been made it is not automatically stored.
Press Accept to save any changes, or press Cancel to lose them. Use the Clear button to wipe the contents of a field without having to use the
text editor.
