DETAIL LEVEL	For adjusting the detail amount.
(Camera)	–7--- 0 --- +7
V DETAIL	For adjusting the strength of the outline
(Camera)	compensation in the vertical direction of the
	images.
	–7--- 0 --- +7
DTL CORING	For adjusting the level at which the noise in
(Camera)	the detail signals is to be eliminated.
	–7 --- 0 --- +7
	When this is adjusted in the “–” direction,
	clearer images are produced but the noise
	increases slightly.
	When it is adjusted in the “+” direction, the
	noise decreases.
CHROMA LEVEL	For adjusting the chroma level.
(Camera)	–7--- 0 --- +7
CHROMA	For finely adjusting the chroma phase.
PHASE (Camera)	–7--- 0 --- +7
COLOUR TEMP	For finely adjusting the colour temperature
(Camera)	(for performing fine adjustments after the
	white balance has been adjusted).
	–7--- 0 --- +7
MASTER PED	For adjusting the black master pedestal
(Camera)	which serves as the video reference.
	–15 ---0 ---+15
A. IRIS LEVEL	For setting the auto iris target value.
(Camera)	–4--- 0 --- +4

GAMMA		For selecting the gamma curve.
(Camera)		LOW:
		Using a gamma curve with a moderate
		gradient for the low-luminance areas, the
		images are given a calm, composed look.
		A sharp touch is conveyed by the contrast.
		NORM:
		Standard images are produced.
		HIGH:
		Using a gamma curve with a sharp
		gradient for the low-luminance areas, the
		gradations of the dark areas are
		extended to make them appear brighter.
		A soft touch is conveyed by the contrast.
		B.PRESS:
		Images giving the sense of a sharper contrast
		than at the LOW setting are produced.
		CINE-LIKE:
		The gamma curve which gives the
		images a cinema-like finish is used.
		Images with less noise than at the
		CINE_LIKE_D setting are produced.
		CINE-LIKE_D:
		The dynamic range is higher than at the
		CINELIKE setting.
		CINE-LIKE_V:
		This uses the gamma curve for finishing
		the images into movie-like images where
		priority is given to contrast.
		In order to make full use of the CINE-
		LIKE gamma characteristics, it is
		recommended that the lens iris be set
		lower (by approx. 1/2) than the regular
		video level.
KNEE		For setting the level (knee point) at which
(Camera)		the high-brightness video signals sensed by
		the CCD are to be compressed in order to
		minimize colour saturation in the highlights
		of the image.
		AUTO: The knee point is set automatically in
		accordance with the signals sensed.
		LOW: The knee point is set on the low side
		(with	compression		starting		from
		around 80%).
		MID: The knee point is set at an interim value
		(with compression starting from around
	90%).
		HIGH: The knee point is set on the high side
		(with compression starting from around
	100%).
MATRIX		For selecting the matrix table and
(Camera)		expressing the colours during shooting.
		NORM1:	Colors	suited	to	shooting
			outdoors or under light sources
			using	halogen	lamps		are
			expressed.
		NORM2:	More vivid colors are expressed
			than with the NORM1 setting.
		FLUO:	Colours	suited	to	shooting
			indoors under fluorescent light
			sources are expressed.
		CINE-LIKE:Colours suited to cinema-like
			shooting are expressed.
