MASTER PED
Adjusts the black master pedestal that serves as the video
reference.
– 100 …+15

• Values change quickly when
the Operation lever is held in
the ▲ ▼ direction.
A. IRIS LEVEL
Sets the AUTO IRIS target value.
– 10 …0

… +10
DRS
Sets whether to operate the DRS (dynamic range
stretcher) function.
ON, OFF
*1
• When using 1080i, the DRS function
is not available if shooting with 24P,
30P, 25P, or VFR (variable frame
rate) even if you select ON.
DRS EFFECT
Sets the compression level in high-brightness areas of the
DRS (dynamic range stretcher) function.
This function compresses the video signal level to extend
the dynamic range making it possible to correctly render
highlight areas without overexposure and loss of detail
that would otherwise occur.

GAMMA
Selects the gamma curve.
HD NORM:
*1
Gamma setting for HD recording.
LOW:
Applies a gently rising gamma curve to low brightness
areas for a balanced look.
SD NORM:
Normal video setting inherited from the DVX100 series.
HIGH:
Applies a steep gamma curve to low brightness areas to
expand the tonality of dark areas for video with greater
brightness. Contrast softens as a result.
B.PRESS:
Produces sharper contrast than LOW.
CINELIKE D:
Applies a gamma curve to produce video with a cine-like feel.
CINELIKE V:
Applies a gamma curve to produce high-contrast video
with a cine-like feel.
• A lens aperture set lower than normal video level
(approx. 1/2) is recommended when using cine-like
gamma to enjoy the full benefit of the function.
• A change in settings during
DRS operation will not change
video quality.
