Aspect Guides & Screen Markers:
The Aspect Guides and Screen Markers Features will assist you in correctly framing your shot.
Activating an Aspect Guide or Screen marker will display a rectangle box representing a specific
aspect ratio. For example if you are filming in 4:3 and you will be editing the video in post production
to 16:9 the aspect guides will show you if you will be cutting off the top of someone’s head in the
video. Within the aspect guides you have several options for line style and % safe. Choosing a line
style will allow you to select between a rectangle line black or partially grey bars in the inactive area.
% Safe will allow you to make the aspect area smaller in 5% increments which will give you a safe area
for the shot.
To activate a preset scroll to the Guides tab and select which screen marker you want to use. To
deactivate it follow the reverse procedure. If you have a HD089BV2 or HD089CV2 you can assign a
hotkey to this feature under the setup tab.
Section: Power Options:
Our monitors may use any 12V regulated power source. All monitors ship with a supplied 12V
regulated AC adapter. The input connector is a standard 2.1x5.5mm barrel connector the center pin
being + positive outer shell is - negative. You may use any power source as long as it is regulated. If
the polarity is reversed it will void your warranty, if you overpower the monitor with a higher voltage
than 12.5 volts it will blow a fuse and void the warranty. We currently offer optional battery packs
with Velcro strips for mounting & battery plates for Panasonic Cannon & Sony Batteries that include a
built in power regulator to ensure proper operation.
The Battery plates are mounted to the monitor at
the factory and are mounted in a sideways position
to allow the monitor to be flipped upside-down on
cameras with 35mm lens adapters. Note the green
status indicator it will turn on when the battery is
charged and flash when the battery is low. The
power wire connects to the 12V dc
jack when the monitor is being
powered by the plate.
