• The dark gray area should be barely visible.
• The light gray area should be clearly visible.
• The white area should appear real and mellow.
• The image should only display black, gray and white (with no other colors).

7.4 Contrast

The contrast function is used to adjust the contrast between the light and the dark areas of the displayed image. It applies a
gain to the red, green and blue signals.
Contrast adjustment can be done with the Contrast key on the RCU or via the menu structure.
