Red record dot only on SDI and LCD2 output

[Jens Jakob Thorsen]

Used to be able to get just the red dot, that shows recording is going on on my Epics SDI.

Cant seem to get that working on my MG.

I really need it on my LCD2 and SDI outputs

Any knowledge out there?

Thanks.

In order to see the record indicator on a monitor its mode must be set to "Overlay" and the overlay selected must have the record indicator on it (all the default overlays other than "None" have the record indicator on them).

These settings are in: Menu > Settings > Display > Monitor Control

Sorry to hijack the post. But sort of on the same subject.....
Im not seeing any red dot when using 2K settings at high speed. The time code in the lower right corner goes yellow and the camera records and everything works but no red dot in the upper right corner to let you know your rolling.
Anyone else?

The timecode doesn't go red? I have not seen this before. Please file a support ticket and send in a log so we can take a look.

It does not work for LCD2 except when you use auto hide menues

Are you saying the record indicator doesn't show unless you have auto hide menus enabled? What monitor are you using?

 

[Jens Jakob Thorsen]

Yes. Old RED 7"... Same goes for SDI

And the take number and timecode is still on.

I am saying that this is the case when I want only the rec indicator.

It's still not clear to me what you are seeing and what you want to see.

I think you are seeing the record indicator, timecode, and clip name on the overlay, but you only want to see the record indicator. If that is the case you can try setting your monitors to the "Guides (RED)" overlay. The "Guides (RED)" overlay includes the record indicator, frame guides, raw indicator and magnify indicator. You can further customize what you see by creating your own custom overlay (or cloning and modifying an existing one).

If I haven't understood you correctly please post a picture of what you are seeing and describe what you think is wrong or what you want to see instead.
