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.

and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

until you reach the desired level of detail, keeping in mind that any level of detail

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.

Volume

to control the audio level. Use

to increase or decrease the frequency of the pixel sampling clock to correct

consistency of the image. For proper phase, use ON and OFF to increase or decrease pixel phase so that any shimmer disappears and the image is stable throughout. See 3.6, Adjusting the Image (H & V Scaling subsections) for a complete explanation of tracking and phase.
