･Pedestal, Low, Mid, High, ･Gamma, ･Polarity

NOTE

The noise might stand out when the detail level is raised.

･DNR (Digital noise reduction)

It is a function to decrease the noise generation by AGC.

1)Use the UP and DOWN buttons to shift the cursor to “DNR”.

･PEDESTAL

The optimum pedestal level has been set at the factory. If necessary, this can be changed as follows.

1)Use the UP and DOWN buttons to shift the cursor to “PEDESTAL”, then press the SET button. The adjustment value at the right of value flashes.

2)Change the “PEDESTAL” by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. (Variable range: -128～000～+127)

3)Return the factory setting(000) by simultaneously pressing the UP and DOWN buttons for two seconds.

4)The setting is fixed when the SET button is pushed, and the cursor moves below by one line.

SET button: AUTO(HIGH)→ON-1→ON-2→ON-3→ON-4 →ON-5→ON-6→ON-7→OFF →AUTO(LOW)→AUTO(MID)

AUTO( )	: It synchronizes with the amplification of
	AGC and the DNR setting changes from
	turning “OFF” to “ON-7”.
LOW	: Movement priority mode
	(Change into “ON-5” in the maximum. )
MID	: The middle mode
	(Change into “ON-6” in the maximum. )
HIGH	: Image quality priority mode
	(Change into “ON-7” in the maximum. )

･GAMMA

1)Use the UP and DOWN buttons to shift the cursor to “GAMMA”.

2)Press the SET button to shift the mode in the sequence “ON”, “OFF”. Factory setting is “ON”.

OFF : γ=1.0

ON : γ=0.45

OFF	: DNR doesn't operate.
ON-*(1～7)	: DNR always operates. The afterimage
	increases according to the coefficient of
	the mode, and the noise decrease is
	effective.

･POLARITY

1)Use the UP and DOWN buttons to shift the cursor to “POLARITY”.

2)Press the SET button to shift the mode in the sequence “POSITIVE”, “NEGATIVE”. Factory setting is “POSITIVE”.

The negative polarity is convenient when using negative material, such as negative film.

･Change in submenu item

1)Use the UP and DOWN buttons to shift the cursor to “ITEM”.

2)Press the SET button to shift the mode in the sequence

“PICTURE”, “PRESET”.

The display changes into the following menu when “ITEM” is “PRESET”.

･BURST [Only KP-DE500 type]

Burst signal ON/OFF when a monochrome image is output is set.

1)Use the UP and DOWN buttons to shift the cursor to “BURST”.

2)Press the SET button to shift the mode in the sequence “ON”, “OFF”. Factory setting is “ON”.

ON	: The burst signal is added
OFF	: The burst signal is not added
