Color
Press Color ![]()
to adjust the color saturation level, i.e. the amount of color in a video image. Lower settings produce less saturated colors - a setting of "0" produces a black and white image, for
example. If the color level is too high, colors will be overpowering and unrealistic. Use ![]()
and
until the ![]()
desired color saturation level is displayed. This is not used when an RGB source is input.
Tint
Press Tint ![]()
to adjust the red/green color hue for true color reproduction of NTSC video signals. For best results, adjust tint while displaying a proper test pattern - otherwise, it is recommended
that tint remain at its default setting. Use ![]()
and ![]()
until the desired tint is displayed. This is not used when an RGB source is input.

above 3 will also introduce a certain degree of noise in the image. Set below 3 to filter the signal and remove noise from a noisy source. This is not used when an RGB source is input.
Contrast
Press Cont ![]()
to increase or decrease the difference between light and dark areas of your image.
Use ![]()
and ![]()
until you reach the desired level of contrast, making sure that the whites remain bright but not distorted or tinted (i.e., "crushed").
Brightness
Press Bright ![]()
to increase or decrease the amount of perceived light in the image so that black just
changes to very dark gray. Use ![]()
and ![]()
until you reach the desired level. See 3.6, Adjusting the Image (Scaling Parameters subsection). Avoid "crushing", or distorted blacks and/or whites.
