Setting up the LCD from color bars

[Philip Powell]

I did a search on this one but couldn't find much. We just got our camera and found smpte bars test output for the LCD. While there is a brightness control on the LCD, how does one set it up, as it were? I guess what I'm looking for is the "blue gun" button so I can set it up like a CRT.

Or I am thinking of this correctly? Can one even setup an LCD?

While I realize that the LCD is only a rough idea of what is being recorded RAW, I would like it to be as accurate as it can be from a setup standpoint.

One can set up LCDs. I don't know about the Red LCD, though.

Monitoring.
RED-LCD and RED-EVF monitors are factory preset digital displays. There are no saturation,
peaking or contrast adjustments as found on analog monitors for correct color reproduction.
All monitor outputs on the RED ONE camera provide REC 709 standard color and gamma.
Image intensity can be adjusted to compensate for ambient lighting conditions. For the REDLCD,
use the Up / Down keys on top of the display. For RED-EVF use the rotary encoder.
To assist with exposure, the RED-EVF, RED-LCD and HDMI and Preview HD-SDI outputs can
display either a dual Zebra pattern or a False Color exposure meter overlaid on the video.
RED-LCD Control s.
The top of the RED-LCD provides two round and two triangular keys. The key on the left is
used to turn the METER (e.g. FOCUS ASSIST) selected in the VIEWFINDER menu On/Off.
The two triangular keys in the center are used to increase or decrease the backlight intensity.
The key on the right is used to switch between 1280 x 848 pixel Video plus Menus and 1280
x 720 pixel Video plus Frame Guide modes. If a RED-LCD is physically connected, but there is
no video displayed, press and hold this button to acquire the monitor feed to the RED-LCD.
