Recording the On-Screen Menus

[Noah Kadner]

I'm trying to record the on-screen menus of the camera out for some workflow articles I'm writing up. So far the best I can do is photographing directly off the RED Pro monitor.

Anyone ever successfully output the entirety of the menu display as a video signal? The HDMI puts out some of the menu but not all of it... :beer: for the help.

Yes it does, just have the PREVIEW OUTPUT setting set to MENUS (DVI)

And feed to a P.C monitor via its DVI port.

The Blackmagic Intensity or other HDMI capture card may be able to capture it?

thanks Gents- I'm going to try it tomorrow and see what happens.

You mean go from the HDMI output of the camera to a DVI connection on a PC right? I'm trying to figure out what we have that will record that signal...

Remember to unplug either EVF or LCD to get the full menu display out via HDMI-DVI.

I've wasted a bit of time on that one...

Ok so we're on the set now. When we go out HDMI cable out to DVI the PREVIEW DVI signal is blank. Switch that to 720p and we get only partial menus. What could we be doing wrong?

Whatever you're using to read that DVI/HDMI signal is probably not compatible with the particular resolution the camera is feeding it.

I've had success capturing the menus over HDMI using a MultiBridge Pro.
