Setting The Gain - Sony SRW-9000 Operation Manual

Setting the Gain

If the gain of the video amplifier of the unit is to
be switched using the gain switch of the RM-
B150 Remote Control Unit, the gain values for
the corresponding switch positions must be
specified in advance.
Use the <GAIN ASSIGN> page of the Camera
>USER (OPERATION) menu.

Any of –6, –3, 0, 3, 6, 9, or 12 dB can be set for
each of the L, M, and H positions, in any
sequence.
Relationship between dynamic range and gain
The dynamic range determined by the gain setting
on the unit is the same for all formats at 460% for
0 dB or lower and 800% for 6 dB or higher.
Dynamic range Gain
460% –6 dB, –3 dB, 0 dB
650% 3 dB
800% 6 dB, 9 dB, 12 dB
Setting the gain so that the dynamic range is
800% enables reproduction of gradation at high
luminance. In such cases, however, the S/N (noise
in dark areas) will decrease due to the inverse
relationship between the dynamic range and the

S/N. If you want to prioritize the S/N, configure
the gain setting so that the dynamic range is
460%.
