Menu control via HDSDI/HDMI

[Lee Kelly]

I am sure I have been able to do this before but for some reason cant work it out today.

I want my menu and all controls to be displayed down my HDSDI. Lets say, I have an onboard HDSDI monitor and an EVF (so no LCD touch screen) shouldnt I be able to adjust my camera via the side handle and use the onboard HDSDI monitor to see my menu screen etc as I hit the buttons on my side handle.
Am I kidding myself or have I done this before?
I appreciate the wisdom.

You can do this. Use the priority tab of the monitor control dialog to assign which monitor is the control surface. The highest priority monitor that is detected and in overlay (not clean) mode will be your control surface.

The auto hide menus option sometimes causes confusion as it will hide the menus on the control surface until it is touched or the menu button is pressed.
