9.4.4 Blemish compensation 
The AT-140GE has a blemish compensation circuit. 
Blemish control has 0:OFF, 1:Black, 2:White and 3:Both. When 1, 2 or 3 is selected, the 
stored factory data can be loaded.

9.4.5 Gamma setting (Look Up Table) 
The AT-140GE has various gamma settings 
including LUT (Look Up Table). Gamma can be 
set OFF (1.0), 0.6, 0.45, or to exhibit 
characteristics set using LUT. 
The following shows the typical characteristics 
in the case of gamma 0.6.

9.4.6 Knee compensation 
If the relation of input and output is linear (1:1), the 
output signal is saturated at a certain level of the 
input signal and details cannot be reproduced in the 
saturated area. The knee compensation circuit 
maintains linear output up to a knee point and 
compresses the level after the knee point. This is set 
by a knee slope function. The AT-140GE supports up 
to 200% signal compression by knee slope. Factory 
default is OFF.
