• On (GY-HM170): Similar to HDMI for GY-HM170.
• SDI (GY-HM200): Superimposes trigger signals with the SDI OUT terminal and REC button, outputting recording/stop control signals.
• HDMI+SDI (GY-HM200): Combines HDMI and SDI trigger signals.
• Note: Rec Trigger is fixed to "Off" and disabled if HDMI/SDI Out is "Off" or if Rec Mode is "Interval Rec" or "Frame Rec".

Histogram Display:

• Activation: Set [Main Menu]→[LCD / VF]→[Display Settings]→[Histogram] to On, or assign to a user button.
• Brightness Limits:
  • Top: Sets maximum brightness limit (5% to 110%, default 80%).

• "Resume" appends data from the point of interruption.
• Note: Requires an FTP server with resume function. Disabled for SFTP protocol or when "HTTP" is selected in [Select FTP Proxy].

Adaptive Bit Rate (GY-HM200):

• When "On," the bit rate automatically adjusts based on network bandwidth.
• Note: Available only when [Type] is "ZIXI" and [Latency] is "Medium" or "Low". Bit rate displayed on status screen only when "On".

PCR Jitter (GY-HM200):

• Low: Reduces PCR jitter for live streaming.
