AccuStream Auto-SYNC Wizard Step 3: Adjust Brightness and
Contrast for Digital Connections
The next step is to adjust the brightness and contrast of the image. It is normal for the pixels to
range from 0 to 254. Since the goal is for the image to be visually acceptable, other ranges may
be desirable.

Brightness and contrast adjustments require a video image that has the full black-to-white
range. Images with a text pattern are recommended. The histogram is very useful for this step
so the multi-view window is recommended.
Position the mouse over the blackest part of the image. Adjust the Brightness value in the
standard way. Shifting the Brightness changes the pixel values; these changes are visible either
in the pixel value reader (in the lower right of Auto-
SYNC’s status bar) or in the histogram. The
goal is to have the black pixels correspond to pixel values near 1.
Once the Brightness is set, move the mouse to the whitest part of the image. Adjust the
Contrast value until the white pixels correspond to values near 254.
