I need to output a clean SD analog live signal out. I can't find a menu item to turn off the menu/info displays on the BNC video 2 output.... anyone know if it's possible to leave the info up on the LCD without having it go out the BNC connector? Can you get analog out of the HD/SDI connector?

You can get a clean output by turning off everything in the viewfinder but I really want the peaking and zebras and card info...

The 'menu out' is off so that's not the answer.

thanks

I've used clean SD output from the BNC terminal whilst retaining all the info on the LCD. Can't remember what I had to do, but it worked. Not near the camera at the moment, but just take it as a big YES!

Easy cakes. Whilst in camera mode:

Third menu icon "Video Setup" --> Component Output "SD" and SD Onscreen Disp. OFF

Thanks Tim! I knew it was in there somewhere but missed it under time pressure of a setup.

But luckily in my case, turning the display off with the button under the handle gets rid of everything including the red record light, so I was able to use that, even though I was too stupid to find the right menu item.... I toggled the 'menu out' item without result and gave up too soon!
