elvid OCM-101-4KH Fieldvision 10.1 Inch 4K On-Camera Monitor

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ELVID.
The Elvid FieldVision OCM-101-4KH puts a lightweight yet sophisticated 10-inch 4K monitor right on top of your camera. Unlike the tiny integrated screens of DSLR and pro video cameras and camcorders, this monitor will deliver a large, bright, and color-accurate image along with the features to ensure the images you capture are professional and flawless.
The FieldVision OCM-101-4KH can display signals up to UHD 4K
(3840 × 2160) and DCI 4K (4096 × 2160). The LCD panel’s native resolution of 1920 × 1200 provides a sharp image and facilitates precise color rendering. It offers a native aspect ratio of 16:10, but you can set the screen to your preferred size, along with four zoom presets. In addition, pixel-to-pixel mode gives you the actual quality of 4K resolution in order to see the fine details of your image. Advanced tools like Check Field help calibrate the monitor, and a dedicated DSLR menu mode scales and positions the incoming video signal when shooting with a DSLR. Two programmable function buttons provide quick shortcuts to the tools you want at your fingertips. The extensive on-screen menus make it easy to adjust your image, and they offer adjustments for brightness, contrast, tint, sharpness, color temperature, and saturation, as well as broadcast-specific features like safety frame markers and multiple display formats.

POWERING OPTIONS

There are two ways to power the FieldVision monitor: AC power or NP-F battery (not included).
NP-F BATTERY

1. Align the battery plate with the mountingsockets on the back of the monitor. Make sure the battery plate’s power cable is on the same side as the monitor’s power input.
2. Screw the plate onto the monitor with the four included screws.
3. Place an NP-F battery into the battery slot, slide it in so it locks into place, and plug the battery plate’s power cord into the power socket.

Important! The battery should easily slide into the battery slot. Don’t use force to attach the battery. Doing so could damage the battery or the contacts.
Remove the battery by pressing the battery release button and sliding the battery out.

AC POWER

Plug the 12 V power supply into the monitor’s power input, and plug the other end into a power outlet.

ATTACHING THE SUN HOOD

The sun hood prevents glare on the monitor’s screen by blocking out stray light, and it is useful when shooting outdoors.

1. Snap the sun hood bracket onto the front of the monitor.
2.  Attach the long side of the sun hood to the touch-connect strip at the top of the bracket.
3. Fold out the sun hood’s two sides and press them against the bracket’s touch-connect strips.

MOUNTING OPTIONS

MOUNTING THE MONITOR ONTO A CAMERA

1.  Screw the ballhead into one of the monitor’s 1/4-20 threaded sockets until it’s tight.
2. Loosen the mounting shoe by turning the locking wheel counterclockwise. Make sure the locking knob is tight, and the ballhead is locked into place.
3.  Fully insert the foot into the camera’s accessory shoe, and tighten the locking wheel by turning it clockwise until it’s secure.
4. Adjust the monitor angle by holding onto it while loosening the ballhead’s locking knob. Reposition the monitor, and tighten the locking knob until the monitor does not slip.

OTHER MOUNTING OPTIONS
Unscrew the ballhead’s mounting foot to expose the 1/4-20 threaded socket for more mounting options.

Mounting the Monitor onto a Tripod, Light Stand, or Accessory Arm: Screw the ballhead onto a tripod, light stand, or accessory arm with a 1/4-20 mounting stud.

Mounting the Monitor to a Camera Cage or Rig: Screw the included hex setscrew into the ballhead’s socket and tighten it with the included hex key. Screw the exposed portion of the setscrew into an available 1/4-20 hole on the camera cage.
