control on the remote control unit or

 

 

 

 

extension control unit to adjust.

(1080/25P) mode.

 

 

 

This function compresses the video signal level to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

extend the dynamic range making it possible to

• Higher numbers mean a higher compression level of

 

 

 

 

high-brightness areas and more noise in dark areas.

 

 

 

GAMMA

Selects the gamma curve.

LOW: Applies a gently rising gamma curve to low-

 

 

 

 

brightness areas for a balanced look.

 

 

 

 

SD NORM: Normal video setting inherited from the

 

 

 

 

DVX100 series.

 

 

 

 

HIGH: Applies a steep gamma curve to low brightness

 

 

 

 

areas to expand the tonality of dark areas for video

 

 

 

 

with greater brightness. Contrast softens as a result.

 

 

 

 

B.PRESS: Produces sharper contrast than LOW.

 

 

 

 

CINE-LIKE D: Applies a gamma curve to produce

 

 

 

 

video with a cine-like feel.

 

 

 

 

CINE-LIKE V: Applies a gamma curve to produce

 

 

 

 

high-contrast video with a cine-like feel.

 

 

 

 

• A lens aperture set lower than normal video level

 

 

 

 

(approx. 1/2) is recommended when using cine-like

MATRIX

Selects the MATRIX table to reproduce color during

 

 

 

 

shooting.

 

 

 

 

NORM1 *1: Ensures proper color rendition when

 

 

 

 

shooting out in the open or under halogen lighting.

 

 

 

 

NORM2: Produces more vivid colors than NORM1.
