5-3-4. DETAIL CORING control

Outline compensation can be performed by adjusting the Detail which enhances outlines and helps
create clear representation of images. But at the same time it may make the picture look coarse
and grainy. This occurs because added Detail will also work on low-level signals which includes
noise.
Detail coring function can adjust the range of added Detail signal but also helps to reduce the noise
introduced by the Detail circuits.
Noise is a low-level signal. So, when Detail coring is set to a higher level than noise signals, the
Detail signal will work only on higher-brightness signals, and not on the noise.
By using this control, the outline of an object can be enhanced and its texture will look the same
while the effects of increased image coarseness are suppressed.
