VIDEO MODE PRESETS
Compensation is provided here for less than ideal video sources that cannot be adjusted internally. If
possible check performance of each video source through test patterns. Unfortunately, these days the
sources that need adjustment most are also the least likely to have test patterns available for them, for
example bad satellite channels.
Brightness:
This controls black level. If the picture from a source appears hazy, lower brightness. If differences in dark
areas of the picture cannot be made out, increase brightness.
Contrast:
This controls white level. If bright scenes appear too bright, lower contrast so differences in bright areas can be
made out. If the picture appears dull, increase brightness but not to the point that bright white objects such
as clouds on a sunny day lose detail.
Color:
This controls the amount of color. Adjust so familiar colors such as skin tones appear natural.
MPEG Noise Reduction:
Enable if compressed digital video sources have an abundance of motion artifacts.
Cross Color Suppression:
Try enabling if still images that have gone through a composite video stage contain rapidly flashing rainbow-
colored artifacts.
Film Mode Detection:
This should almost always be left on. Film mode discerns between interlaced 60 Hz sources recorded with a
video camera and those that originated with 24 frame per second film, and deinterlaces accordingly. Unusual
sources can cause the deinterlacer to put out an erratic picture – in such a case try disabling film mode.
