Crystal Vision 

Control and Status monitoring 

 

RGB proc 

Apply varying amounts of lift and gain to the Red, Green and Blue channels of 

the video path. 

 

 

Red/Green/Blue Lift 

Apply a positive or negative DC offset to the black 

level of the Red, Green and Blue components of the 

video path. 

Red/Green/Blue Gain  Apply 80% to 120% gain to the Red, Green and Blue 

components of the video path. 

Default 

Return Lift and Gain for all components to their 

calibrated values of 0 lift and 100% gain. 

 
 

YUV proc 

Apply varying amounts of lift and gain to the YUV channels of the video path. 

 

 

Y/U/V Lift 

Apply a positive or negative DC offset to the black level of 

the Y, U and V components of the video path. 

Y/U/V Gain 

Apply 0 to 200% gain to the Y, U and V components of the 

video path. 

Video Gain 

Apply 0 to 200% overall gain to the video path. 

YUV default 

Return Lift and Gain for all components to their calibrated 

values of 0 lift and 100% gain.
