The Procamp controls are adjusted with either the slider bars or arrow
buttons. The corresponding numeric values are displayed in the text boxes.

- ²

Video Gain

raises or lowers the overall amplitude of the video signal. It

has a range of 50 to 200 percent of nominal.

- ²

Chroma Gain

changes the amplitude of the chrominance portion of the

signal to change the color intensity. It has a range of 50 to 200 percent of
nominal.

-

Black Level

sets the voltage level of the reference black level. This is

expressed in mV in the PAL video standard and in IRE units in NTSC.
The range in the PAL standard is –140 to 140 mV. The range in the NTSC
standard is –20 to +20 IRE.

-

Chroma Phase

sets the colors by varying the phase of the chrominance

subcarrier. The range is –45 to +45.

- ²

Luminance Black Clip Level

is the point where the procamp clips the

luminance portion of any video that drops below this level. For PAL, the
range is –150 mV to 0 mV and –20 IRE to 7.5 IRE (or 0 IRE if pedestal
is not selected) in the NTSC standard.

- ²

Luminance White Clip Level

follows the same logic, only it clips any

luminance above the set threshold. Its range in the PAL standard is 700 to
909.5 mV and 100 to 139.5 IRE in the NTSC standard.

- ²

Default Procamp

resets the Procamp to the factory-defined levels.
