…Under the menu, we do have control for SDI Overlays.…This will indicate what information is handed off to the large monitor.…For example, let's set this to Off.…On the large monitor, you see no information is going through.…Now, let me turn off the monitors own overlays for just a second.…And you see we have a clean signal.…Now the first choice I have, is the ability just to send Status.…With the status overlays turned on, I…could see critical information about the camera.…
For example, the frame rate, the shutter angle,…the ISO or ASA rating, the light balance information.…Across the bottom we have the ability to see the recording format.…And if the camera is ready or actively…recording, some people want to know what we're rolling.…You can also see information about the current duration of the clip.…And a battery status meter so you know what's going on.…Now, the overlays are just one way of getting information.…Besides the critical overlays there, we can switch from status to see guides.…
This is useful for seeing action safe and title safe to help…
