COLOR PEAKING Function

When the COLOR PEAKING function is set to "ON," the
peaking signal is displayed with the colors changed.
1
Set "COLOR PEAKING" to "ON" in the PEAKING
menu.
2
Select the displaying color with "COLOR" in the
PEAKING menu.
3
Adjust the chroma level of the video signal with
"CHROMA" in the PEAKING menu.
When "ORIG" is selected in "COLOR," the video
signal is displayed in monochrome. The chroma
level of the video signal cannot be adjusted.
Note
Color peaking is a function that extracts the high-
frequency components of the video signal and applies
color to those parts. This may be less effective when noise
components are emphasized by VF DETAIL and
MASTER GAIN settings on the camera side, because
then color is applied to the whole screen.
If you plan to use the color peaking function, it is
recommended that the VF DETAIL and MASTER GAIN
settings on the camera side be set as follows.
• VF DETAIL: OFF, or set to a value that does not
emphasize noise.
• MASTER GAIN: Set to a value near 0 dB.
