value you need.
Green Gain| 0~255
Blue Gain| 0~255
Red Offset| 0~511
Green Offset| 0~511
Blue Offset| 0~511

Brightness

• Adjust the general brightness of the LCD. For example, if you are outside in bright conditions, increase the LCD brightness to make it easier to view.

Contrast

• Increases or decreases the range between the bright and dark areas of the image. High contrast can reveal detail and depth in the image, and low contrast can make the image appear soft and flat.

Saturation

• Increase or decrease the amount of color in the displayed image. Sharpness Increase or decrease the sharpness of the image. When the image sharpness is insufficient, increase the sharpness to make the image clearer.

Color Temp

• Adjust the color temperature to make the image warmer (Yellow) or colder (Blue).
• Increase the value to make the image warmer, and decrease the value to make the image be colder.
• Users can use this function to strengthen, weaken, or balance the image color according to requirements. The standard white light color temperature is 6500K.

Center Marker

• Select On, will appear “+” marker on the center of the screen.

Aspect Marker

• Display the different aspects of the displayed image.
• Safety Marker
  Draw a dotted line Marker on the screen in case of image. This monitor has OFF, 95%, 93%, 90%, 88%, 85%, and 80% preset to choose.

Grid

• The grid feature displays a “thirds” overlay with two vertical and horizontal lines placed in each third of the image. Select “ON” or “OFF” to view or hide the third overlay.
• Thirds are an extremely powerful tool to help compose the shots. For example, the human eye typically looks for action near the points where the lines intersect, so it helps to frame key points of interest in these zones.
  • Note: Grid function is unavailable while activating Marker Mat.

Marker Color & Marker Mat & Thickness

• The transparency of the aspect mat can be adjusted from 0 to 7. Meanwhile, there are five alternative marker colors.
• The marker thickness can be set as 2,4,6. Users can choose abundant ratios or colors according to different background colors when shooting.

Scan

• Use this menu option to choose Scan mode. There are three modes preset:

Aspect:

• Select Aspect under the Scan option, then use the Aspect option to switch between several aspect ratio settings.
• Users can select related aspect ratios according to different signal inputs to meet the best viewing experience.
  • For example: In 4:3 mode, images are scaled up or down to fill the maximum 4:3 portion of the screen. In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to fill the entire screen.

Pixel to Pixel

• The pixel-to-pixel is a monitor set to 1:1 pixel mapping with native fixed pixels, which avoids loss of sharpness due to scaling artifacts and normally avoids incorrect aspect ratio due to stretching.

Zoom

• Can see the enlarged image by ( x1.5, x 2, x 3, x 4) ratios. To select the “Zoom” under Scan, choose the times under the Zoom option which is underneath the Check Field option.

Underscan

• If the image shows a size error, use this setting to zoom in/out of pictures automatically when receiving HDMI signals.

Check Field

• Use the check field modes to monitor calibration or to analyze individual color components of an image.
• In Mono mode, all colors are disabled and only a grayscale image is shown. In the Blue, Green, and Red check field modes, only the selected color will be shown.

DSLR

• Use the DSLR Preset option to reduce the visibility of on-screen indicators shown with popular DSLR cameras. The available options are: 5D2, 5D3

Peaking

• The peaking is used to aid the camera operator in obtaining the sharpest possible picture. Select “On” to display colored outlines around sharp areas of the image.

Peaking Color

• Use this setting to change the color of focus assist lines to Red, Green, Blue, White, and Black. Changing the color of the lines can help make them easier to see against similar colors in the displayed image.

Peaking lever

• Use this setting to adjust the level of focus sensitivity. If there are plenty of details of the image with high contrast, it will display lots of focus assist lines that may cause visual interference.
• So, decrease the value of the peaking lever to reduce the focus lines to see
• clearly. Conversely, if the image has fewer details with low contrast, it should increase the value of the peaking lever to see the focus lines.

False Color

• This monitor has a false color filter to aid in the setting of camera exposure. As the camera Iris is adjusted, elements of the image will change color based on the luminance or brightness values. This enables proper exposure to be achieved without the use of costly, complicated external equipment.

Exposure & Exposure Lever

• The exposure feature helps the user achieve optimum exposure by displaying diagonal lines over areas of the image that exceed the setting exposure lever. The exposure lever can be set to 0~100.

Histogram

• The histogram shows the distribution of the luminance or the black-to-white information along a horizontal scale and lets the user monitor how close the detail is to being clipped in the blacks or whites of the video.
• The histogram also lets you see the effects of gamma changes in the video. The left edge of the histogram displays shadows, or blacks, and the far right displays highlights, or whites.
• If monitoring the image from a camera, when the user closes or opens the lens aperture, the information in the histogram moves to the left or right accordingly.
• The user can use this to check “clipping” in the image shadows and highlights, and also for a quick overview of the amount of detail visible in the tonal ranges.
• For example, a tall and broad range of information around the middle section of the histogram corresponds to good exposure for details in the midtones of your image.
• The video is likely being clipped if the information bunches to a hard edge at 0% or above 100% along the horizontal scale. Video clipping is undesirable when shooting, as details in the blacks and whites must be preserved if the user subsequently want to perform color correction in a controlled environment. When shooting, try to maintain the exposure so information falls off gradually at the edges of the histogram with most forming around the middle. This will give the user more freedom later to adjust colors without whites and blacks appearing flat and lacking in detail.

Level Meter| OFF, ON

Volume

• Adjust the volume for the built-in speaker and earphone jack audio signal.

SDI Audio Channel

• Select the embedded audio channel for the audio out of the earphone jack.

Level Meter

• The left side of the on-screen meters displays lever meters showing audio levels for channels 1 and 2 of the input source. It features peak hold indicators that stay visible for a short time so the user can see the maximum levels reached. To achieve optimum audio quality, ensure your audio levels do not reach 0. This is the maximum level, meaning that any audio that exceeds this lever will be clipped, resulting in distortion. Ideally, peak audio levels should fall in the upper end of the green zone. If the peaks enter into the yellow or red zones, the audio is in danger of clipping.

Language

• Switch between English and Chinese.

OSD TIMER

• Select the displaying time of the OSD. It has 10s,20s, and 30s preset to choose from. Image Flip The monitor supports H,V, and H/V three preset Flip modes.
