• 50 is default value with nominal color saturation.
• Setting to 0 should display as monochrome.
• Increasing value will increase color saturation.
Sharpness

RGB Bias and Gain
Select this submenu to fine-tune the monitor’s color balance (R, G, B) or execute the One Button Auto White
Balance function. The color calibration procedure is described at the rear of this manual. Fine-tuning the monitor’s
color balance (R, G, B) should only be done by someone experienced with video engineering, as this will alter
the overall color shading of the screen. The purpose is to allow color matching to other types of monitors and/or
displays. NOTE: The Color Temperature preset will automatically switch to CUSTOM when Color Bias or Gain
settings are adjusted. It is normal for color bias adjustments to be very subtle. When selecting the RGB Bias and
Gain submenus, changes to Gain and Bias will be seen in real time. Once the proper level is achieved, the user must
save this setting by pressing the RotoMenu encoder. If the user leaves the setting menu before saving, the value will
return to the original setting.
