USER TITLE

the previous procedure for

PREVIEW

This sub-menu selects the operating mode of the HD Preview output.

If only one of either a RED EVF or RED LCD are present, the HD-SDI and HDMI outputs will support Sur-

round View, frame guides and safe action / title overlays, waveforms overlaid on a 1280 x 720 pixel video

signal. Both of these outputs include up to 4 channels of 24-bit 48KHz audio. The HDMI output is com-

patible with HDMI equipped 720p compatible HDTV monitors.
As a user choice, the HDMI (but not the three HD-SDI outputs) can support a 1280 x 848 pixel output with

Surround View, frame guides and safe action / title overlays, waveforms, and camera status and operation

menus. This signal is compatible with most DVI equipped SXGA computer monitors, but is not compatible

with HDMI equipped HDTV displays.
If both a RED EVF and RED LCD are present, the HD-SDI and HDMI outputs will be forced to 1280 x 720

(with Surround View) irrespective of the Preview Output parameter setting.
NOTE: The video format of the HD-SDI Preview output will also be affected by the HD-SDI refresh

rate and PLAYBACK resolution selections described elsewhere in this guide.
To select between 720p and 848p output options, select VIDEO (720p) or MENUS (DVI). The default is

VIDEO (720p) The Preview output setting will be held in camera memory.
NOTE: A shortcut to toggle between MENUS (DVI) and VIDEO (720) without entering the menu is to
press and hold the UNDO button, then press the Clip Start / Previous Clip button.
