LCD Adjustment Menu

GAMMA: Allows you to fine tune the gamma reproduction curve of your monitor. This is an expert feature, and intended for advanced users only. If you want to make adjustments to your images, we suggest using the Image Adjustment menu and the options located therein: the vast majority of outcomes achievable by using the GAMMA adjustment setting here can also be achieved, more easily and accurately, by tweaking the Brightness and Contrast settings on the ProcAmp.

PED LEVEL: Altering the PED level will slightly alter the output voltage of the composite video out, altering the way that an LCD monitor will build images by combining the red, green and blue sub-pixels on screen. Higher values will give brighter images, particularly in darker areas of greyscale. This is an expert feature

– we’d recommend not touching it unless you know exactly what you’re doing.

COLOR GAIN: The amount of color in the video signal. As different televisions and monitors have different native saturation levels (LCDs are typically less saturated than a CRT, for example) you might need to adjust the level here to get “natural” looking images. Remember, you don’t need rich, vivid images for the purposes of security footage – sometimes lowering the saturation creates a sharper image which might be more useful for identifying fine details or recognizing individuals.
