Adjusting Input Levels

m70L Installation & Configuration Guide

If the color bar pattern has a pluge, you can use it to adjust Brightness. Pluge
stands for Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment. A pluge is used to calibrate the
black level on a video monitor.

Although it is not required, we recommend that you save the configuration to a
memory slot. (See "Saving Configurations" on page 74.)

If you have more than one source coming through the same connector, adjust
Input Levels for each source.

Pluge

Adjust Brightness so you

cannot

see the different between these
two marks,

but you

can

see the difference

between these two marks.
