Show/Hide Color Bars
Blackmagic cameras have a color bars feature built in which you can turn on or off by
selecting 'show' or 'hide' color bars. This feature can be very useful for visually identifying
individual cameras while setting up for your live production. Color bars also provide an
audio tone so you can easily check and set the audio levels from each camera.
Detail
Use this setting to sharpen the image from your cameras live. Decrease or increase the
level of sharpening by selecting: Detail off, detail default for low sharpening, medium
detail, and high detail.
Reset Buttons
The reset button near the bottom right of each camera controller lets you easily choose color
correction settings to reset, copy or paste. Each color wheel also has its own reset button.
Press to restore a setting to its default state, or copy/paste a setting. Locked controllers are not
affected by the Paste feature.
The master reset button on the bottom right corner of the color corrector panel lets you reset lift,
gamma and gain color wheels plus Contrast, Hue, Saturation and Lum Mix settings. You can paste
color correction settings to camera controllers individually, or all cameras at once for a unified
look. Iris, focus, coarse and pedestal settings are not affected by the Paste feature. When
applying Paste to all, a warning message will appear asking you to confirm your action. This is
so you don't accidentally paste new settings to any unlocked cameras that are currently on air.
