Internal Black Level - Barco NH-12 User Manual

Internal black level versus Beta Planes
In the same way as for the soft edge adjustment (Internal vs Alpha planes) this black level adjustment can be fixed internally by
using a dialog box or externally by uploading a user defined Beta plane. This beta plane will contain the values for the brightness
offset to be applied to the image.
Both methods will allow to compensate for the typical double brightness phenomenon in the soft edge zones by increasing the
brightness of the rest of the image.

Black level : double brightness compensation
It is worth noting however, that (internal) black level (via the dialog box) is to be used for simple linear soft
edge zones (like in the illustration above). Curved soft edge zone should be done using (external) beta planes.
The Black level adjustment has to be done for all the channels (projectors)
