Hi Everyone,

I am hoping someone can tell me it is possible to see camera data from an FS700 that is outputting on SDI to an Alphatron EVF?

I have gone through the menu and swtiched on the 'Display output' to 'All output' i think that just seemed to display the timecode on the EVF and that's just about it.

Is there a way to output all/most of the camera data? Such as:

Recording on or off (red or green)
Colour balance
Aperture setting
ISO
Shutter speed
Battery remaining
Card space remaining.

I am really hoping this is possible. If it isn't it will be super annoying having to look at the LCD display all the time to check data (i have the FS700 on a shoulder mount rig)

Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance for your help!!

Just been messing around with the menu...For some reason every time i press the 'Menu' button all the information i am after (ISO, Battery, record status, shutter speed etc) is displayed in the Alphatron EVF for a fraction of a second before disappearing again to go into the menu screen.... Aghhhhh! is teasing me!
 
Ok Sorry i basically seem to be having a conversation with myself here haha. I have worked it out for future reference to anyone, The marker button on the side of the camera toggles all camera output display.

So just turn on the display output to 'all output' and then press the marker button on the side of the camera which will then give you on screen data on you EVF.

Cheers!!
 
Same with the Small HD. It was the damn Markers. Unfortunately, I sat there for hours hitting every button until finally figuring it out. Drove me crazy :)
 
I just got Alphatron yesterday and I like COLOR in it .. and option to set 2.35:1 aspect ratio MARKER independently on it ! :) Stupid Sony output from FS-700 DO NOT give me that option on any external monitors .. :Drogar-Shock(DBG):

I hope when we get 4K output from FS-700 next summer, this EVF will be very useful :)
 
Haha, yes i was getting close to losing it with this! Got it working in the end though and after a few shoots with the Alphatron, i love it. I need to get the upgrade for it though which apparently fixes the red zebras / peaking thing.
