[GAM] Gamma Curve

The gamma curve changes the overall look of the image. You can select from [NORMAL], [CINE1] or [CINE2]. [NORMAL]: standard gamma setting suitable for video. [CINE1]: appropriate for video telecined from film. [CINE2]: appropriate for transfer to film.

[KNE] Knee Point Adjustment

Adjust the dynamic range (knee point) in the highlight area of the image to prevent overexposure. You can select from [AUTO], [HIGH], [MIDDLE] or [LOW].

[BLK] Black Stretch/Black Press

Adjust the dynamic range in the shadow area of the image. You can select from [STRET H], [MIDDLE] or [PRESS].

[STRET H]: emphasizes contrast in the dark area.

[PRESS]: enhances or deepens darkness.

[PED] Master Pedestal

Adjust the master pedestal level in the range -9 to +9. The master pedestal lowers or raises the baseline of the luminance signal affecting only the shadow areas. Set [-] values to subdue the dark areas, or set [+] values to get more detail in the shadows.

[SET] Setup Level

Adjust the setup level in the range -9 to +9. The setup level lowers or raises the whole gamma curve controlling the darkest level of black in the image. Set [-] values to get a darker image, or set [+] values to get a brighter image.

Depending on the value set for the master pedestal [PED], the setup level may not be able to take a negative value. As a result, adjusting the setup value within a certain value range will have no effect.
