The Filters menu shown below allows setting the luminance and chroma sharpness and
horizontal bandwidth (with DNR option) with the following detail enhancing controls:
•
Lum Sharp – set to Off to bypass detail enhancing filters. Set to Off , 1/4, 1/2, or
Max to set the sharpness of the luminance portion of the signal.
•
Chr Sharp – set to Off to bypass detail enhancing filters. Set to Off, 1/2, 1/4, or
Max to set the sharpness of the chrominance portion of the signal.
•
Lum Bandwidth – used only when the 5475 DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
option is installed. Set to Normal to allow full bandwidth (no effect), or 3/4 Band,
1/2 Band, or 1/4 Band.
•
Chr Bandwidth – used only when the 5475 DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) option
is installed. Set to Normal to allow full bandwidth (no effect), or 3/4 Band,
or 1/2 Band..
These bandwidth functions utilize filtering applying a sharp cutoff low-pass filter
to effectively remove high frequency and impulse noise. This is especially useful in
applications such as an MPEG pre-processor to reduce bandwidth required to
transmit an MPEG-encoded signal. The result can be a cost effective method of
delivering video via satellite link.
