ZEBRA

Use Zebra mode to enable and adjust the upper and lower values for two (2) independent zebra indicators. Use

Zebra 1 for highlight exposure, and use Zebra 2 for mid-tones or shadows. Zebras are visible in Magnify mode

and are disabled by default. As with other IRE-based modes, zebra mode is applicable to the current ISO and

Look settings, and not the RAW image.
For more information, see the

Exposure with RED Cameras: False Color & Zebra Tools

.

ENABLE ZEBRA INDICATORS

1. Go to Menu > Settings > Display > Zebra.
2. Select a Zebra check box.
3. Select the low and high IRE values. Each value range is 1–100.

Zebra 1: Areas of the image exposed within the IRE range are indicated by diagonal lines at –45°. De-

fault is IRE 98–100.

Zebra 2: Areas of the image exposed within the IRE range are indicated by diagonal lines at 45°. Default

range is IRE 41–48.

MONITOR CONTROL

Use the Monitor Control menu to configure monitor and overlay settings, control surface priorities, brightness,

and gestures.

MONITOR

Select the monitor to configure from the drop-down menu at the top of the menu. The other settings on the

menu are applicable to the selected monitor.
NOTE: Changes to Monitor Control settings take effect when you close the menu.

MODE
Determines the elements displayed on the monitor:

Clean: Only the video displays. The Upper Status Row, Lower Status Row, and overlays do not display.

Overlay: The overlay displays. Overlays include the Upper Status Row and the Lower Status Row.

Mirror: The monitor mirrors another screen at the same resolution. You cannot mirror a screen that is set

to Clean. The Mirror option is available based on the settings of the other attached monitors, and includes

the name of the monitor that can be mirrored.

NOTE: You can set a maximum of four (4) monitors to Overlay at a time. To assign additional monitors to Overlay,

mirror a monitor with the same resolution that is set to Overlay.
NOTE: When two (2) touchscreens are attached to the DSMC with the same resolution and one (1) is currently

the control surface, set the other to mirror it and give the effect of having two (2) control surfaces.

OVERLAY
Select which overlay shows on top of the video. RED provides preset overlays, which have “(RED)” in the

overlay name. Create custom overlays in the Overlay tab. For more information, go to

“Overlay” on page 69

.

RESOLUTION
Select the output resolution for monitors (you cannot select a resolution for EVFs, since the resolution is

determined automatically). The LCD resolution defaults to 60.00 Hz, which is the optimal refresh rate for the

RED LCDs.
