Noise Reduction
The Noise Reduction parameter reduces the video noise often present in
analog input sources. Selecting this option opens an adjustment bar with
a range from 0 to 64 in increments of one. The larger the number selected,
the greater the suppression of the noise.
Brightness
The Brightness parameter controls the lightness or overall tone of the
image, just like the Brightness control found on a television or computer
monitor. Technically, it controls the level at which black is reproduced on
the display.
When the Brightness parameter is selected, an adjustment bar displays.
The range of the Brightness adjustment bar is –64 to +64 in increments of
one.
Note Trying to make the picture “blacker than black” by turning this control down
too far reduces the visible detail during the dark scenes of the video.
Contrast
The Contrast parameter controls the variations between the lightest and
darkest areas in the image. Technically, it controls the level at which the
peak white is reproduced, up to the maximum light output capability of
the display.
Note Trying to exceed this maximum light output level reduces visible detail during
bright scenes of the video. In extreme cases, trying to exceed this maximum
can actually damage the video display.
When the Contrast parameter is selected, an adjustment bar displays. The
range of the Contrast adjustment bar is –64 to +64 in increments of one.
Saturation
The Saturation parameter controls the color intensity, or vividness, of the
image. Visually, it controls the “saturation” of the color in the video
signal. Technically, it controls the strength of the color portion of the
video signal compared to the black-and-white portion of the signal.
When the Saturation parameter is selected, an adjustment bar displays.
The range of the Saturation adjustment bar is –64 to +64 in increments of
one.
Tint
The Tint parameter controls the color balance of the image. Visually, the
Tint parameter controls the “hue” or “color balance” of the video signal.
Technically, it controls the phase of the color portion of the video signal.
When the Tint parameter is selected, an adjustment bar displays. The
range of the Tint adjustment bar is –64 to +64 in increments of one.
