VIDEO MONITOR OUTPUTS
NOTE: HD-SDI and HDMI
®
ports are only available on select DSMC2 expanders. For more information, go to
“Input/Output Connectors” on page 167.
The monitoring path converts RAW sensor data to a white balanced 12-bit depth 1920 x 1080 pixel RGB 4:4:4
video signal. The signal may be modified using ISO, White Balance, or other RGB color space adjustments. The
signal is then scaled and gamma-corrected to provide monitor outputs at 10-bit depth in 4:2:2 YCC or 8-bit
depth in 4:4:4 RGB.
The camera offers the following monitor outputs:
EVF/LCD: Supports a RED EVF or LCD display.
HD-SDI: Provides a 720p or 1080p output suitable for monitoring or recording to an external VTR or DDR
device. It may be configured for 10-bit LIN (VIDEO) or 10-bit LOG (FILM) encoded data.
HDMI: Provides a 480p, 720p, or 1080p output suitable for monitoring via a Windows
®
monitor or most
HDTVs.
VIDEO MONITOR CATEGORIES
NOTE: HD-SDI and HDMI ports are only available on select DSMC2 expanders. For more information, go to

EVF/LCD connector located on top of the camera. If an EVF or LCD is not connected, you can transfer the
VIEWFINDER output to either the HDMI or 3G-SDI (HD-SDI) output from an expander.
PROGRAM/Clean: None of the graphic overlays display.
PREVIEW: The Live Action Area and associated graphic overlays display.
