Setting menus SCENE FILE screen Item/ (display mode) Description of settings DETAIL LEVEL For adjusting the detail amount. (Camera) -7 --- 0 --- +7 V DETAIL (Camera) For adjusting the strength of the outline compensation in the vertical direction of the images. -7 --- 0 --- +7 DTL CORING (Camera) For adjusting the level at which the noise in the detail signals is to be eliminated. -7 --- 0 --- +7 When this is adjusted in the "-" direction, clearer images are produced but the noise increases slightly. When it is adjusted in the "+" direction, the noise decreases. CHROMA LEVEL For adjusting the chroma level. (Camera) -7 --- 0 --- +7 CHROMA For finely adjusting the chroma phase. PHASE (Camera) -7 --- 0 --- +7 COLOR TEMP (Camera) For finely adjusting the color temperature (for performing fine adjustments after the white balance has been adjusted). -7 --- 0 --- +7 MASTER PED (Camera) For adjusting the black master pedestal which serves as the video reference. -15 --- 0 --- +15 A. IRIS LEVEL For setting the auto iris target value. (Camera) -4 --- 0 --- +4 The underlining indicates the factory setting. Item/ (display mode) Description of settings GAMMA (Camera) For selecting the gamma curve. LOW: Using a gamma curve with a moderate gradient for the low-luminance areas, the images are given a calm, composed look. A sharp touch is conveyed by the contrast. NORM: Standard images are produced. HIGH: Using a gamma curve with a sharp gradient for the low-luminance areas, the gradations of the dark areas are extended to make them appear brighter. A soft touch is conveyed by the contrast. B.PRESS: Images giving the sense of a sharper contrast than at the LOW setting are produced. CINE-LIKE: The gamma curve which gives the images a cinema-like finish is used. Images with less noise than at the CINE_LIKE_D setting are produced. CINE-LIKE_D: The dynamic range is higher than at the CINELIKE setting. CINE-LIKE_V: This uses the gamma curve for finishing the images into movie-like images where priority is given to contrast. In order to make full use of the CINELIKE gamma characteristics, it is recommended that the lens iris be set lower (by approx. 1/2) than the regular video level. KNEE (Camera) MATRIX (Camera) For setting the level (knee point) at which the high-brightness video signals sensed by the CCD are to be compressed in order to minimize color saturation in the highlights of the image. AUTO: The knee point is set automatically in accordance with the signals sensed. LOW: The knee point is set on the low side (with compression starting from around 80%). MID: The knee point is set at an interim value (with compression starting from around 90%). HIGH: The knee point is set on the high side (with compression starting from around 100%). For selecting the matrix table and expressing the colors during shooting. NORM: Colors suited to shooting outdoors or under light sources using halogen lamps are expressed. ENRICHED: More vivid colors are expressed than with the NORM setting. FLOU: Colors suited to shooting indoors under fluorescent light sources are expressed. CINE-LIKE: Colors suited to cinema-like shooting are expressed. 41
