Connecting to Monitors

SDI monitoring can be really handy when accessing the fold out monitor is impractical, such as
when secured high on a jib arm, on a crane, or mounted on a vehicle.

Monitoring information is displayed via your HD-SDI monitoring out connector by adjusting the
settings for the ‘front SDI’ on the ‘monitor’ tab on the touchscreen. These settings enable frame
guides and information such as recording details and camera settings. If you simply want to
monitor your shots, you can always turn overlays off for a clean SDI output.

Connect the camera’s SDI output to SDI monitors or to a Blackmagic SmartScope Duo 4K for
live waveform monitoring.

NOTE

The rear SDI output and 3G-SDI monitoring output automatically flag HDR

video with ancillary metadata when you are working in ‘Film’ dynamic range and use
the ‘Broadcast Film to Rec.2020 Hybrid Log Gamma’ or ‘Broadcast Film to Rec.2020 to
PQ Gamma’ LUT on the SDI output. This means you can display stunning HDR images
on HDR enabled screens from either SDI output.
