Operation

Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust sharpness, select Sharpness from the Adjustment menu and press ENTER. On your external test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-5.Adjust as needed, looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and differently-sized lines in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to eliminate them.

Note

The Sharpness setting has no effect if the Sharpness Filter (see

below) is set to 0.

Filter: The Filter setting controls the behavior of the Sharpness control. The available settings depend on the vertical resolution of the input signal, as follows:

With a 480i signal, you can apply the sharpness control to either the input signal (1), the output signal (2), both (3) or neither (0).

With a 480p or higher-resolution signal, the sharpness control is applied only to the output signal and only when you set the Sharpness Filter to “on” (1).
