Madrigal Imaging MP-8, MP-9 manual Detail, Color, Tint

OPERATION

Notes: 1) For best results, adjust brightness before contrast. 2) If room lighting changes, it may be necessary to re-adjust contrast and brightness. 3) An excessively high contrast level can reduce the life of the CRTs.

Detail

The Detail function is used to adjust the picture sharpness of video signals when using the optional Multi-standard Decoder. It has no effect on an RGB input.

To adjust detail, press DETAIL then or until the sharpest display is attained. Detail level should be roughly proportional to input signal quality. Higher levels of detail improve good quality signals. Lower levels of detail reduce noise in poor quality signals.

Color

1)The Color function is used to adjust color saturation levels when using the optional Multi-standard Decoder. It has no effect on an RGB input.

To adjust color, press COLOR then or until the desired color satura- tion level is displayed. If Color is set to a 0% level, the result will be a black and white picture. If Color is set too high, the color levels in the picture will be over-powering.

2)The Color function also allows you to turn on or off the red, green and/or blue color components of the picture.

Press COLOR followed by a number (n) to select the color components you want turned on. The chart shown here shows the selection variations.

The Tint function is used to adjust color hue to obtain true color reproduction of NTSC signals when using the optional Multi-standard Decoder. It has no effect on an RGB input.

To adjust tint, press TINT then or until an optimum display is attained. It is best to adjust tint while displaying an image with natural flesh tones.

Note: Tint is not adjustable for PAL or SECAM video sources.
