TIMECODE
The bottom right of the monitor displays your URSA Broadcast G2’s timecode, in
the following format: hours:minutes:seconds:frames.
Monitor Settings 3
The third page of the ‘LCD’, ‘front SDI’ and ‘main SDI’ monitor tab contains identical settings
for each output. These settings act globally across all three monitoring outputs. For example,
if focus assist is enabled on your Blackmagic URSA G2’s LCD, Front SDI and Main SDI outputs
changing the ‘focus assist type’ from ‘peaking’ to ‘colored lines’ will effect all three outputs.
Zebra Level
Set the exposure level that zebra appears at by tapping the arrow icons on either side of this setting.
There are eight zebra level presets available, from middle gray through to 100 percent exposure.
For more information, see the ‘zebra’ guide in the ‘touchscreen features’ section of this manual.
Focus Assist Type
Your URSA Broadcast G2 camera has two focus assist modes, ‘peaking’ and ‘colored lines.’
Peaking
When ‘peaking’ style focus assist is selected, areas of the shot that are in focus are
heavily sharpened on your LCD touchscreen or SDI outputs, but not in the recorded
image itself. This causes focused parts of your shot to ‘pop’ out of the softer
background on screen. As no additional overlays are used, this can be a very intuitive
way to tell when focus is dialed in, especially when the subject you’re focusing on is
physically well separated from other elements in shot.
Colored Lines
When ‘colored lines’ style focus assist is selected, a colored line is superimposed
around the parts of the image that are in focus. This can be a little more intrusive than
‘peaking’ style focus assistance as the lines are drawn over your image, but especially
in busy shots with a lot of visible elements, it can be a precise focus aid.
Focus Color
Use this setting to change the color of focus line overlays when using ‘colored lines’ style focus
assistance. Changing the focus line color can make it easier to tell focus assistance lines apart
from your image. The available options are ‘white,’ ‘red,’ ‘green,’ ‘blue’ and ‘black.’
Focus Assist Level
To set the level of focus assistance for your LCD touchscreen, front SDI or main SDI, move the
slider from left to right.
