Color Correction Function; Black Control Function; Gamma Function - Panasonic AG-CX350 Operating Instructions Manual

It performs fine adjustment relatively on the matrix table selected in [MATRIX].
Since the fine adjustment is performed relatively, if the matrix table selected in [MATRIX] differs, the color representation may differ even when the same
value is set.

Color correction function

This function sets color saturation and phase. These settings affect each of the 16 phases of the video individually. It can be set to individual color hue.

Black control function

This function sets the black level that is to be the reference of luminance.
r General settings
[MASTER PED]: Sets the reference black level. RGB also changes by changing this setting. − makes the black color darker, and + makes it less dark.
r Advanced settings
Set with the [SCENE FILE] menu → [RGB BLACK CONTROL SETTING].
[R PED]: Sets the pedestal level of Rch.
[G PED]: Sets the pedestal level of Gch.
[B PED]: Sets the pedestal level of Bch.
[PEDESTAL OFFSET]: Sets whether to keep the values set for each item of [R PED], [G PED], and [B PED] or reset them when automatic black
balance adjustment is performed.

Gamma function

This function optimizes the tone of images.
r General settings
[GAMMA MODE SEL]: Selects a gamma mode from eight types.
r Advanced settings
Set with the [SCENE FILE] menu → [GAMMA SETTING].
[MASTER GAMMA]: Sets the master gamma in 0.01 steps.
f When [FILM-REC] is selected in [GAMMA MODE SEL]
[F-REC DYNAMIC LVL]: Sets dynamic range.
[F-REC BLACK STR LVL]: Sets black stretch.
f When [VIDEO-REC] is selected in [GAMMA MODE SEL]
[V-REC KNEE SLOPE]: Sets knee slope.
[V-REC KNEE POINT]: Sets knee point.
[BLACK GAMMA]: Sets the gamma curve compression and expansion of dark areas.
[B.GAMMA RANGE]: Sets the maximum level to perform compression/expansion.
