Clipping Controls

Clipping controls are provided that affect the luminance (soft/Y) and
overall saturation (hard/video) levels of the output signal.

Refer to

Figure 45 on page 77

. To enable the clip controls select the

Enable

radio button. You may also apply the clip levels to the vertical blanking
interval by checking the

Apply Clips to VBI/Data Lines

box. This control is also

available on the VBI SDI web page (

page 87

).

Use the following clipping controls to adjust levels on the video output:

Use the

Soft/Y White Clip

control to set the clipping level for the top end

(white) of the luminance signal (positive excursions).

Use the

Soft/Y Black Clip

control to set the clipping level for the bottom

end (black) of the luminance signal (negative spikes and Super Black).

Use the

Hard/Video White Clip

control to set the clipping level for the top

end (white) of the overall video signal (clips white and reduces overall
saturation level to fit within clip).

Use the

Hard/Video Black Clip

control to set the clipping level for the

bottom end (black) of the overall video signal (clips black and reduces
overall saturation level to fit within clip).

Advanced View

In Advanced View (

Figure 46 on page 79

), adjust the following for the B-Y

and R-Y Channels:

Note

To adjust gain for all channels simultaneously, set Video Gain Lock to On.
This locks Y, B-Y, and R-Y adjustments together. Adjustment of one gain
setting changes all gain values (Y, B-Y, R-Y) the same amount.

B-Y/R-Y Gain – adjust the percentage of B-Y and R-Y gain relative to
100% (50 to 149.6%).

B-Y/R-Y Balance/Offset – adjust the amount of B-Y and R-Y DC offset
in mV (-3.55 to 3.44%)

Reset To Default

Select the

Reset To Default

button on the bottom of the screen to return all

values to the factory defaults.
