M. PEDESTAL [-99 TO 99] Initial Setting: 00
• Normally set this to “00”.
• When the black parts of the picture are too dark, you can
brighten them by adjusting the master pedestal or black level.
Use of a waveform monitor is recommended.
DETAIL [-99 TO 99] Initial Setting: 00
This is used to adjust the sharpness of the outlines of objects in
the picture. A higher value makes the picture look sharper with
more detail on the image outlines, and a lower value makes the
picture look softer with less detail.
H. PHASE [-99 TO 99] Initial Setting: 00
When an external reference sync signal is connected to the GEN
LOCK connector on the back of the camera, the camera operates
at the frequency of that reference signal. The H. PHASE function
can be used to perfectly synchronize the horizontal phase of the
camera with the horizontal phase of the reference signal.
Note: If there is not an external sync signal connected,
no value is displayed.
SC PHASE [0, 180] and (SC)fine: [-99 to 99] Initial Setting: 00
When gen-locking the camera, use the SC PHASE and (SC)fine functions to adjust the
subcarrier phase. First use the SC PHASE for coarse adjustment and then (SC) fine for fine
adjustments. The subcarrier phase switch on the back of the camera (Switch Bank A-DIP Switch
2) must match the SC PHASE coarse adjustment.
Note: If there is not an external sync signal connected, no value is displayed.
GAMMA [ON, OFF] Initial Setting: on
• ON: For normal use of the camera. The camera compensates the reproduction
characteristics of the monitor CRT to produce natural tone images.
• OFF: The video signal is output linearly from the CCD without gamma compensation.
KNEE [1, 2] Initial Setting: 1
1- Use this setting for normal shooting conditions.
2- Use this setting when shooting a dark object and a highly illuminated
object at the same time.
G SYNC [ON, OFF] Initial Setting: on
• ON: Adds sync to the G signal output from the RGB/SYNC connector of the camera.
• OFF: The sync is separate from the G signal output at the RGB/SYNC connector of the
camera.
