IRIS
TM
is the Intelligent Room Illumi-
nation (light) Sensor.
When IRIS
TM
is
on, your TV will automatically
adjust pic-
ture contrast and brightness
for best
quality (Contrast
and Brightness
cannot
be adjusted manually).
[]
Contrast
provides a slider to adjust
the white-to-black
level. Low contrast
shows a variety of shades in darker
images, while high contrast shows
darker images more uniformly black and
makes colors appear more vibrant.
[]
Brightness
provides a slider to adjust
the overall brightness
of the picture.
[]
Sharpness
provides a slider to adjust
the detail and clarity.
[]
Color provides a slider to adjust the
color intensity.
[]
Tint provides a slider to adjust the pro-
portion of red to green.
[]
Color Temp (Color Temperature)
allows
you to adjust how white images are dis-
played.
Your choices are:
• Low 6500K
or Low (for DTV): White images
will have a warm cast to them.
This adjust-
ment is an average
and can vary due to
ambient
room lighting,
video scene bright-
ness and the TV's age.
The Low 6500K
represents
the 6500K
industry
standard
for
NTSC (non-DTV)
pictures.
• Medium:
White images will be balanced
between
the Low (warm) and High (cool)
settings.
• High: White images will have a cool cast
to them.
This setting may provide the most
realistic
picture under bright lighting.
[]
Video
Noise reduces minor noise (grain-
iness) in the broadcast
or input signal.
[]
Image Type maximizes
the original
camera media: Video or Film. Video
media uses a video camera and is cre-
ated at 30 frames per second.
Film
media uses a film camera and is cre-
ated at 24 frames per second.
Exam-
ples of Video media are live TV
broadcast
such as news, special events,
or video taped programs.
Examples
of
film media are motion pictures, made-
for-TV movies, and many prime time pro-
grams.
Filmed media is converted
by
the broadcaster
or home video company
to 30 frames per second to match TV or
video standards.
This conversion
can
leave subtle "picture artifacts"
or conver-
sion errors.
Setting the Image Type to
Film can reduce the picture artifacts and
improve the picture quality, when view-
ing a 480i image.
