Get into Playback & back to Menu without a viewfinder | Arri Alexa Mini | Teradek Ctrl.3
I just did a job on the Arri Alexa Mini. Really fun job, whole time on Steadicam. I´m used to work with the WCU-4. On this project i had the first time the whole terradek universe. (CTRL.3 | MDR.X | TOF.1 Rangefinder | 2x MOTR.X | Lens Mapping Overlay on Small HD 703 Bolt) Just to give a quick review. This system is fantastic, easy and intuitive. (For those who are interested in the setup, photos are attached)
Because the steadi-operator wanted me to remove the viewfinder. I was trying to find a solution to get into playback without attaching the viewfinder all the time (I solved this problem with function-buttons | "check last clip") but even after looking deeper into it, i couldn't find a way to get back to menu/normal display. Any solutions?
Thanks!




If you double pres the "fn" button it gives you some seconds to push button "3" for playback. I find it easier that way.
Just be aware, to format the card I do "fn", "fn", "2", "3", "3".
