Operating Instructions

Color and Video Correction Examples Using the 9980-CSC-3G

Chroma gain exceeds 100% level (as shown below for 
100% color bars on YPbPr waveform monitor display)

Using the Color Gain (Chroma) control to reduce chroma 
gain, chroma gain is now restored to 100% level.

Leading color phase condition (as shown below for 
SMPTE color bars on vector display)

Using the Color Phase control to provide phase lag, color 
phase condition is now corrected.
