9.4.4 Blemish compensation
The AT-140GE has a blemish compensation circuit.
Blemish control has 0:OFF, 1:Black, 2:White and 3:Both. When 1, 2 or 3 is selected, the
stored factory data can be loaded.

9.4.5 Gamma setting (Look Up Table)
The AT-140GE has various gamma settings
including LUT (Look Up Table). Gamma can be
set OFF (1.0), 0.6, 0.45, or to exhibit
characteristics set using LUT.
The following shows the typical characteristics
in the case of gamma 0.6.

9.4.6 Knee compensation
If the relation of input and output is linear (1:1), the
output signal is saturated at a certain level of the
input signal and details cannot be reproduced in the
saturated area. The knee compensation circuit
maintains linear output up to a knee point and
compresses the level after the knee point. This is set
by a knee slope function. The AT-140GE supports up
to 200% signal compression by knee slope. Factory
default is OFF.
