Grass Valley LDK 500 - Manual (Page 50)

Operating instructions | System Menu 4-11
If you do not use the menu it disappears after a few seconds. (This delay can be
programmed in the
VF menu.) However, when you press the Select button again you
enter the System menu at the last position of the cursor and not at the top of MAIN
menu. To prevent confusion the next time you enter the System menu, it is advisable to
leave the menu by returning to the
MAIN menu (TOP) and selecting MENU OFF.
4.5.4 Making changes
To find out where you have to go to change a function, consult the appendix to
discover under which menu group or sub-group the function you want to change is
located. If the cursor points to an item (and there are no double arrows to indicate a
sub-menu) then the item pointed to has a value. The value can be:
• a toggle value (only two values)
• a list value (more than two values)
• an analogue value (variable from 00 to 99)
• unavailable (---).
If the value is unavailable it cannot be changed. This is indicated by three dashes (---).
This can occur, for example, when a function is switched off. The analogue values
associated with that function are then unavailable.
If there are only two values associated with the function, then pressing the Select
button (13) toggles between these two values. If a value is displayed next to a
function that is one of several possible values, then pressing the Select button places
the cursor in a list menu indicating the value currently selected. Use the Rotary
control (12) to point to a new value. Press the Select button to return the cursor to
the function list.
If an analogue value is displayed next to a function name, then pressing the Select
button places the cursor in front of the value and the Rotary control is used to
change the analogue value. Press the Select button to return the cursor to the
function list.
4.5.5 Undoing changes
If you make changes to the video settings in the Systems menu and you decide not to
keep them, use the Std. button (6) at the side of the camera to recall a standard set of
values for the video parameters.
