COLOR TEMPERATURE

Select a color temperature. The range is 1700 to 10,000 KELVIN, and the default is 5600 KELVIN.
NOTE: The Color Temperature settings are not accessible on BRAINs with MONOCHROME or RED DRAGON

MONOCHROME sensors.

TINT

Color temperature calculations assume a pure light source that may not be true in the specific scene the

camera is imaging. To compensate for any residual colorcast, the Tint parameter adjusts the RGB color balance

with a compensating magenta-green color component. Tint range is –100 to 100, with a default of 0.000.
NOTE: Selecting Auto White Balance calculates a new Tint value. The value doesn’t change if you adjust the

color temperature manually. Selecting a preset resets Tint to 0.000.

PRESETS

Each preset has 0.000 Tint. Available preset options are:

Incandescent: 2800 K

Tungsten: 3200 K

Fluorescent: 4500 K

Flash: 5500 K

Daylight: 5600 K

Cloudy: 7500 K

Shade: 9000 K

AUTO WHITE BALANCE

Auto white balance analyzes the central 25% of the image visible in the monitor to calculate a color temperature

that will render a white object as white.
To use auto white balance, follow the instructions below:
1. Place a white or gray object under the ambient light.
2. Go to Menu > Settings > Look > Color Temp.

Alternatively, select Color Temperature > Advanced... from the Upper Status Row.

3. Select Auto White Balance.

LGG (LIFT, GAMMA, GAIN)

Adjust the lift, gamma, and gain for the Red channel, Blue channel, and Green channel individually.

PROJECT

The Project menu includes: Frame Rate, Exposure, Timecode, Slate, and Format.

FRAME RATE

SENSOR FRAME RATE

Select the sensor frame rate (also referred to as the capture frame rate). The sensor frame rate is the number

of frames per second (FPS) that are recorded. The sensor frame rate is different from the project time base,

which is the rate at which the footage will be played back.
The default sensor frame rate is 23.98 FPS. If you change the project time base, the sensor frame rate

automatically changes its value to match the project time base.
