Sets enabling/disabling ATR compensation for the better dynamic range (D-WDR)
of the image.
ATR feature improves the dynamic range and the visibility of the image by providing
the optimal gradation compensation of the image in one field. This is achieved by
two ways of image processing, luminance compression and contrast enhancement,
so that the tone can be enhanced at highlight and dark area.
Defines the threshold level for HLC. Lower value masks more.
• CLIP LEVEL
(default: 10):
HLC clips out the highlight area and masks it as black color.
Video will be clipped out and masked for the area which exceeds CLIP LEVEL.
1-3-2. HLC:
1-4-1. WDR(Wide Dynamic Range): (VTC-C960WS)
1-4-2. ATR-EX (Adaptive Tone Reproduction-EX): (VTC-C960DS)
• CONTRAST
(default: MID): It can be selected only in ‘CUSTOM’ scene preset.
• CLEAR FACE
(default: MID): Selects one of ‘LOW/MID/HIGH’
1-4. WDR/ATR-EX
This function is extended the gain range of the screen that is mostly useful if camera
takes a simultaneous picture of both indoor and outdoor nearby window. It improves
contrast of the picture in outdoor scenery as well as indoor.
Video outputs image processed from two images by dual shutter (long and short shutter)
in a field to provide the best dynamic range. Highlight area is compensated by the short
shutter and dark area is compensated by the long shutter.
Final video may have less contrast compared to the conventional camera which does
not have WDR function.
1-5. DNR
DNR(Digital Noise Reduction) function improves picture quality by filtering out signal
noise which is generated under the low light conditions. It is 3DNR(3-dimensional noise
reduction) which reduces the noise by the multi frames. Noise Reduction is effective
at low light. Setting high level is strength of noise reduction but the result may occur in
loss of sharpness and the tail effect of a comet.
Sets BLC function enables or disables
1-3-3. BLC:
Note: BLC is available only in ‘CUSTOM’ scene preset.
Note: WDR is fixed except ‘CUSTOM’ scene preset.
Selects one of ‘WDR/ATR-EX/OFF’ is only in ‘CUSTOM’ scene preset.
