Color Correction Function; Black Control Function; Gamma Function; Knee Function - Panasonic AJ-PX230E Operating Instructions Manual

Color correction function

This function sets color saturation and phase. It applies individual effect on 15 phases in a image. It can be set to individual color hue.
r General settings
Use the camera with the factory settings.
r Advanced settings
[R (PHASE)]/[R-R-Mg (PHASE)]/[R-Mg (PHASE)]/[Mg (PHASE)]/[Mg-B (PHASE)]/[B (PHASE)]/[B-Cy (PHASE)]/[Cy (PHASE)]/[Cy-G (PHASE)]/[G
(PHASE)]/[G-Yl (PHASE)]/[Yl (PHASE)]/[Yl-Yl-R (PHASE)]/[Yl-R (PHASE)]/[Yl-R-R (PHASE)]: Changes the phases. + makes it rotate clockwise, and
− makes it rotate counter-clockwise.
[R (SAT)]/[R-R-Mg (SAT)]/[R-Mg (SAT)]/[Mg (SAT)]/[Mg-B (SAT)]/[B (SAT)]/[B-Cy (SAT)]/[Cy (SAT)]/[Cy-G (SAT)]/[G (SAT)]/[G-Yl (SAT)]/[Yl (SAT)]/
[Yl-Yl-R (SAT)]/[Yl-R (SAT)]/[Yl-R-R (SAT)]: Changes the saturation.

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
Configure the settings in the main menu → [SCENE FILE] → [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 seven types.
r Advanced settings
Configure the settings in the main menu → [SCENE FILE] → [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.

Knee function

This function sets the compression of video signals to prevent halation in images.
r General settings
Use the camera with the factory settings.
