Video Assist with EVA1 - View camera menu on video assist

PostSun Jan 02, 2022 6:48 pm

I've been using the 12G video assist with my EVA1 for a few months and love it. When shooting 5.7k RAW through SDI I haven't been able to figure out a way to get the camera menu/settings to show up on the video assist so have also had the original EVA1 monitor attached. Does anyone know if this is possible? Most of my work is run and gun doc stuff and would love to have the camera stripped down as much as possible so just using the video assist without the LCD monitor would be ideal.

Any help much appreciated!

I am quite sure it is not possible to send the camera menu overlay when sending RAW signal over SDI.
So unfortunately it is either the menu overlay or RAW recording but not both.
Saying "Thx for help!" is not a crime.

I was worried that might be the case, thanks for your reply!
