■ RGB Bias and Gain Select this submenu to fine-tune the monitor’s color balance (R, G, B). This should only be done by someone experienced with video engineering, as this will alter the overall color shading of the screen. The purpose is to allow color matching to other types of monitors and/or displays. Note: The Color Temperature preset will automatically switch to USER when Color Bias settings are adjusted. It is normal for color bias adjustments to be very subtle.

FILTER CONFIGURATION SUBMENU ■ False Colors The V-LCD51 has a false color filter to aid in the setting of camera exposure. As the camera Iris is adjusted, elements of the image will change color based on the luminance or brightness values. This enables proper exposure to be achieved without the use of costly, complicated external equipment. To best utilize this feature, you must understand the color chart below and have a basic understanding of camera exposure.
■ Peaking Filter (Focus assist) The Peaking Filter is used to aid the camera operator in obtaining the sharpest possible picture. When activated, all color will be removed from the display and a black-and-white image will remain. The internal processor will display RED color on the screen where sharp edges appear. When the camera operator adjusts (racks) the focus control (on the camera lens), different parts of the image will have RED colored edges.
■ Freeze Input Use the Freeze function to “freeze” the current image on the screen. Select this menu item again (Unfreeze) to return to the real-time video input. ■ Image Flip Use the Image Flip function to turn the monitor’s display 180°. Note: Both the image and all menus and On Screen Display text will be flipped. ■ Manufacturer Default Select this menu item to reset all adjustments and menu settings to the factory default configuration.
