9-34. RPN Concealment
RPN (Residual Point Noise) on CCD is automatically
corrected (APR) during ABB (Auto Black Balance Adjust-
ment) operation. For the RPN which cannot be corrected
by APR, perform the manual RPN concealment by follow-
ing Section 9-34-1.
When there remains the RPN which cannot be concealed
even after completion of the adjustment shown in Section
9-34-1, follow the flowchart shown in Section 9-34-4.
9-34-1. Manual RPN Concealment
Use the SERVICE menu for the manual RPN concealment.
Refer to Section 4-1-2 for how to display the SERVICE
menu.
Preparation
. Adjust the black balance automatically. (Refer to the
Section 4-1 in operation manual of HDW-F900R.)

Adjustment Procedures
n
The points adjacent to the already corrected RPN in the up,
down, right, and left directions cannot be corrected.
1. Select the channel (R, G, or B) to be corrected.

R, G, B
2. Adjust the values of H and V so that the center of the
cross cursor is aligned just over the RPN.
The RPN is concealed when the cursor is aligned with
the pixel.
n
The RPN may appear to be concealed even when the
cursor is aligned with the pixel one line or one pixel
off from the RPN. Before proceeding to step 3, move
the cursor one line or one pixel to confirm that the
cursor is aligned with the correct pixel.

n
One full rotation of the rotary encoder is equivalent to
the movement by one-pixel. Since the cursor occupies
the area equivalent to two pixels, the cursor moves
with two rotations of the rotary encoder.
3. Press the rotary encoder to record the RPN data
(concealed value).

EXEC
4. “RECORD DATA OK? YES
→
NO” is displayed.
After confirming that the RPN is corrected, rotate the
rotary encoder until “YES” blinks.
5. Press the rotary encoder. “COMPLETE!” is displayed,
and concealment will be performed.
n
Make sure that RPN is corrected before executing the
RPN concealment.
6. If the RPN concealment is going to be executed for
another RPN, repeat steps 2 to 5.
n
When there exists an RPN that cannot be corrected
with this adjustment, follow the flowchart of the
Section 9-34-4.
