For all but the more unusual video standards
VIDEO STANDARD:
available in the world, the Cine-IPM 2K automatically detects the
incoming horizontal and vertical frequencies and sets the Cine-IPM
2K's processing of this signal to the corresponding standard. The
current video standard name appears in the Video Options
submenu, and includes an "A" if it has been auto-detected. Press

available to the Cine-IPM 2K—any that are disabled have
frequency characteristics that differ from those of the incoming
signal. Selecting a specific standard forces the Cine-IPM 2K to process the signal
according to this standard.
NOTE: Best results are obtained with defined channels. Otherwise, switching from
one video source to another can sometimes cause slight disturbances in the display,
indicating that the Auto function is struggling. Recover by briefly selecting a
different video standard, then going back.

detect and display correctly in these cases, select the relevant standard from the list.
INPUT VIDEO BLACK —
compensates for incoming elevated black
levels present in certain video signals, and
ensures that blacks in the display are
neither crushed (i.e., where dark grays appear black) nor excessively elevated (i.e.,
where blacks appear dark gray). By default, the Cine-IPM 2K automatically determines
the best setting according to the type of incoming video signal:
•
– Used for DVD output with "enhanced black", SECAM, most
0 IRE
PAL standards, and Japanese NTSC.
•
– Used for most NTSC video signals.
7.5 IRE
For some types of video, you can override the setting. Generally, if black appears
crushed when brightness = 50, choose "0 IRE". If black appears excessively elevated,
use "7.5 IRE". The control is disabled for other types of video (and all graphics
sources).
This slidebar adjusts the color saturation level, i.e. the amount of color in a
COLOR —
video image. Lower settings produce less saturated colors — for example a setting of
"0" produces a black and white image. If the color level is too high, colors will be
overpowering and unrealistic.
This slidebar adjusts the red/green color hue for true color reproduction of
TINT —
video and HDTV signals connected to Input 3 or 4. For best results, adjust tint while
