DSLR Ratio Adjustment
This features lets you scale your DSLR video output, fill the screen, and eliminate black pillar bars with a variety of options to choose from. This is particularly useful for some Canon DSLR cameras. Choose between Normal, 3:2, 16:9, and Full-Screen. The feature can be programmed to one of the front panel's four function buttons for quick and easy access.

Waveform & Audio Displays
The V-LCD71MD incorporates both a waveform display and stereo audio bars. These may be displayed separately or together in any one of the four corners of the monitor. The stereo audio is de-embedded from either the HDMI input (8 channels) or from the optional 3G/HD/SD-SDI input (16 channels). Any pair of the available channels may be selected for both the display and the headphone output.

Zebra Function (IRE Clip Guide)
The Zebra function (Clip Guide) is used to visually filter data on the screen that is under a lower threshold or over an upper threshold. Data on either side of the filters can be displayed with a custom colour. The zebra function can also be inverted to filter the area between the upper and lower threshold. The colour selected for the lower threshold acts as the colour for all inverted zebra data.

False Colour Filter
The false colour filter is used to aid in the setting of camera exposure. As the exposure is adjusted, elements of the image will change colour based on the luminance or brightness values. This enables proper exposure to be achieved without the use of costly, complicated external test equipment.

Peaking Filter
The peaking filter is used to aid the camera operator or assistant with obtaining proper focus. When activated, the internal processor will display a coloured highlight on the screen where sharp edges appear. When the focus is pulled, different parts of the image will have these coloured highlights. This indicates that this portion of the image is sharp or in focus. The filter keeps the original colour of your scene, but adds a choice of four colours—red, green, yellow, or pink—to choose from for the highlights, as well as adjustable sensitivity for fine-tuned control.

Six Custom Configuration Presets
Six user-setting presets allow the user to save six system configuration files for later recall when needed. These configuration files will save 38 different parameters that can be adjusted by the user.
