Emergency - Need steps to get Proper Overlays to HDMI via Side handle

[Ryan Sauve]

For an emergency. RED touch lcd is busted and I'm trying to gain control from a side handle I've never used. And monitor via HDMI but HDMI set t to clean. Can someone provide steps to get the proper overlay?

Option 1. Download the "DSMC TOOLKIT" from the download page (it's on the "OTHER" tab). In this package there as some "force preset" files. One of which will enable the menus on HDMI. There are instructions included on how to apply the force preset files.
Option 2. On recent firmware the HDMI monitor does not default to CLEAN, it defaults to OVERLAY mode with "auto-hide" menus enabled. This means you can open the menus simply by pressing the MENU button on the side handle. If you've changed the default setting already, you can reset to factory defaults by pressing and holding the power button on boot.
