18.3 Magnification
When shooting with frame lines or aspect ratios that only use a cropped area of a recording resolution
the actual image content defined by the frame line might not be displayed large enough.
The magnification setting gives the user access to variably scaling of the monitoring outputs and sets
a persistent image magnification, so the area defined by the frame line can be displayed as large as
desired.
Magnification can be adjusted in steps of 1% from 100% to 200% for the EVF and the SDI outputs,
individually or globally. If less than the recorded area is shown an orange border will be shown at the
frame boundaries where the recorded image exceeds what is displayed.
Two screen shots from an ALEXA Mini LF in recording resolution LF Open Gate 4.5K with a 1.78 UHD frame line (red rectan-
gle) applied. The left screen shot shows the SDI output without magnification applied. The right screen shot shows the SDI out-
put with magnification applied to enlarge the image (in this example set to 135%). An orange border indicates that the recorded
area exceeds the displayed image.
Setting the Magnification
The camera menu offers the following settings to adjust magnification:
Select MENU > Monitoring > Master Magnification
to set the magnification of the EVF and the SDI outputs simultaneously.
Note: When individual outputs have been set to different magnification values, the master
magnification menu entry shows "-". Changing the master magnification will force the magnification
of all outputs to the new value.
Select MENU > Monitoring > EVF/Monitor > Magnification
to set the magnification of the EVF and the flip-out monitor.
Select MENU > Monitoring > SDI > SDI Processing > Magnification
to set the magnification of the SDI outputs.
Note: Magnification can only be applied with SDI image set to processed.
Note: Magnification is reset to 100% when the recording resolution is changed.
