Figure 3-21. Adjusting Black Levels and White Levels Using the Clipping Detector

field before adjustment or extreme crushing.

 

3.Display one primary color.

Tip

Selecting Auto Color Enable ensures that the correct color is displayed for

each setting.

4.For the current color, adjust its corresponding “Black Level” slidebar just until a single band of black appears at one edge of the screen. This band represents the first band of the grayscale pattern, which should be 100% black. Do not adjust too far.

5.With the same color still active, adjust its corresponding “White Level” slidebar just until a single band of color appears at the opposite edge of the screen. This band represents the last band of the grayscale pattern, which should be 100% white (or the current color, if a certain color is enabled). Do not adjust too far.

6.It may be advantageous to go back and check the black band. Adjust the blacklevel slidebar if necessary.

Readjusting the black levels affects the gain at this point; only readjust

Note

when absolutely necessary.

 

7.Repeat Steps 4 through 6 with the other two remaining primary colors. When each primary color shows one optimized black band and white (or colored) band, the input levels for this source are correctly set. Upon exiting the White Balance menu, the Clipping Detector checkbox will clear.

Color Enable: Select which color or colors you want to see in the display. This is useful when working with color temperature white levels or black levels.

When you have finished optimizing the picture quality, lock the channel that you unlocked
