JVC GY HD200ub - using output for live display without markings on screen
I work for a church/house of worship and we recently purchased the JVC GY-HD200UB for video productions. I'd also like to use it on a semi-regular basis for live projection (into our video switcher).
Normally to do this, I throw the camera into SD 4:3 mode (since our projection screens are not widescreen) and connect it via composite to my switcher. Is there a way to get an output signal from the camera that does not have all of the markings and on-screen display items? Like the timecode, audio meters, etc. I know how to cycle most of these off so that they don't show up in the viewfinder (and hence, don't show up on the video output) but the only thing I can't figure out how to turn off (or even what they are for) are 4 little dashes in the bottom corner. Does anyone know what I am talking about? I didn't see anything in the manual or in the menu system on the camera. What are those dashes even supposed to represent? Joe |

Yes, though I don't have my manual in front of me. If it's like the JVC HD110, then it's maybe (from memory, so DONT FLAME ME if I'm wrong!)
Menu -LCD/Disply --Characters on/off something like that. experiment or skim through manual. When I have my camera in front of me it's second nature to turn it off and on, remembering it without the camera in front of me is something else. |

Hi Alex,
I'd never flame if you were wrong. Or flame period. That does not lead to beneficial conversation. I checked for anything like what you mentioned and didn't see it. What are those four dashes even for? I have no idea what they represent and it always shows 4 dashes... never more or less. Joe |

Just go to Menu>Others>Analog Out Char>set to Off. Everything should disappear including the 4 dashes which are just place markers for the VTR mode...PLAY, STOP, STBY, etc.
Best of luck, Jeff |

This worked great--thanks so much. I didn't get a chance to test it until today but it worked perfectly.
