Hey guys,

I have some problems with my Blackmagicdesign Video Assist.
My first question is, is it possible to have overlays on both screens when mirroring is turned on?
I searched the forum and google a lot but did not find a clear answer. It seems to be possible but I'm not sure.
If I turn on mirroring I only get overlays on the camera's LCD, if mirroring is disabled I get overlays on the external monitor.

My second problem:
If I set the camera to 720p to record in 1920x818 48p I can't get any ML overlays on external monitor even if mirroring is disabled.
I tried all the HDMI framerate settings but those don't change anything.

I'm using this build: Nightly.2015Dec20.5D3123

I really hope you guys can help me with those issues  :)

Regards,
Jan

I'm in process of ext. monitor adaptation too.
My greatest find is crop mode - http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=16432.msg162189#msg162189
It's tricky to enable this, but at least it works...

You want this to get higher resolution? As far as I understand, it's no possible and downgraded to 113 :( But I'll be glad if mistaken.

may be possible with that tool, wich used to get crop mode. But, there is no ready recipe and it could take a lot of time to find it.
Edit:
Yes, 720p works too, just recorded 4 sec 1920x648x60fps :)
