C100: Need Advice to Lock On Computer Screens

Need some tech help before Sunday morning. I will be filming for one of the world's largest pharma companies, their trade show booth, about a half block long, Sunday morning. No big deal but I was just forewarned that the whole idea is to capture the interactivity of it.

In the 7 months I've had my C100 I have not had any strobing or flicker from computer monitors or projections, don't know if I've just been lucky. However, Sunday will have 3D, the kind you don't need glasses for. I imagine with their budgets it will be 4K projections. I am very familiar with dialing in using Sony's Clear Scan and Panasonic's Synchro Scan to lock onto frequencies but how do we do it on the C100? My home is 100% Macs including tablets so I have nothing to practice with. I can sneak into Best Buy perhaps? My main shooting is usually 1080/30 with 1/60th and I have never had a problem YET.

Any advice as to the best way to dial in fractions for screens will be appreciated.

Thanks!
 
Thanks! Figured it out. Cumbersome compared to Panny & Sony ENG units. Just did the gig, no problem with any of the screens. Perhaps because they are all plasma?

Thank you for your advice.
 
What's the problem with leaving clear scan enabled all the time? And does it have any effect on the flicker of a camera set to 60 cycles shooting in 50 cycles land?
