Operation Basic

 

If other than [CUSTOM1] and [CUSTOM2] is

 

selected in Step 2, [WASH] is automatically

 

selected.

 

 

5

Use the joystick and rotary Z control to set the

 

[PB] and [PR] values in the range of 0 to 255

 

and the [Y] value in the range of 16 to 235 for

 

selecting the wash color.

 

If other than [CUSTOM1] and [CUSTOM2] is

 

selected, set the color level (the Y signal level

 

for white) using the rotary 3 control.

 

 

6

Set the [GRADE] value (gradation composition

 

level) in the range of 0 to 255 using the rotary 5

 

control.

 

 

7

Set the gradation position using the rotary 5

 

control while holding down the SHIFT key.

NOTE

The back matte settings are saved with the menu setting values ([Pb], [Pr], and [Y]) for each color.

(However, if [PRESET] is selected in the [POWER] submenu of the [SETUP] menu, the settings are reset to the factory default settings when the unit is restarted.)

Outputting Color Bars

[COLOR BAR]

To output color bars as internal video, select [COLOR BAR] of the [INT VIDEO] menu using the rotary 1 control.

Using Still Pictures or Movies as

Internal Video [MEMORY]

In addition to using the back matte video (page 29) and color bar output (the previous section) built in this unit, it is possible to store external video input sources in internal memory and create still pictures and movies.

Created still pictures and movies are saved with one- frame video as one page. The number of pages (frames) available for saving a created picture or movie varies with the video format (page 26) for the video input.

However, if a title created as a title key or downstream key is saved as a page, a reduced number of pages are available for saving the still picture or movie.

The page count ratio for the title and still picture or movie can be changed from the [MEMORY] submenu of the [SETUP] menu (page Vol.2-27).

Use the [MEMORY] submenu of the [INT VIDEO] menu to create and display still pictures and movies.

If a still picture is created, “ST (STILL)” and the number of pages are displayed in the internal video display area in the upper portion of the Setting screen. If a movie is created, “MV (MOVIE)” and the number of pages are displayed.

Relationship between Internal Video Save and Internal Memory

When internal video is saved, the [MEMORY] submenu of the [SETUP] menu is used to set the following to save the video in internal memory.

•PAGE: First page to save

•FRAME: No. of pages to save

If the number of saved pages is 1 (“FRAME” is set to 1), the video is saved as a still picture. If the number of saved pages is 2 or more (“FRRAME” is set to 2 or more), the video is saved as a movie.

Both a still picture and a movie can be saved in internal memory. In this case, however, the total of saved pages must be equal to or less than the maximum number of frames.

For example, if the memory size (the number of frames) assigned for internal video is set to 4 in the [MEMORY] submenu of the [SETUP] menu, four still pictures can be saved in memory when a still picture (FRAME: 1) is created; only one movie can be saved in memory when a movie consisting of four pages (FRAME: 4) is created.

NOTE

If video is saved in the memory areas overlapping those in which other video is already saved, the overlapping areas are overwritten by new data and the remaining areas for the previous video are cleared and filled with black image.
