WB(White Balance Gain Circuit)
The change in white color under conditions of the photographed subject such as color temperature, are
corrected by changing the gain ratio of R, G, B in F/W control (AWB). Refer to "10.7 WB operation".
C-Gamma(Chroma-Gamma Correction Circuit)
Gamma/ Knee can be corrected independent of luminance signal processing. Refer to "10.4 Variable Gamma
Function".
Linear Matrix(Linear Matrix Circuit)
The final primary color signals R, G, B are converted to color difference signals (R-Y), (B-Y).
Reference values are given in “Table 6.4-2 CCD Types and Linear Matrix Parameters (Reference Values)" of
"6.CCD Type Selection". However, adjust the parameter values to suit the color reproducibility of the connected
equipment. Also, refer to "10.3.4 Using Four-Quadrant Independent Control".
(R-Y) and (B-Y) signals can be suppressed while interlocked with AGC gain. Please refer to "10.8 Suppress".
10.3.2. Complementary Color Pixel Clipping
As CCD output becomes saturated, the ratio among the four pixels S1R, S2R, S1B, and S2B changes,
preventing color saturation unevenness from appearing. When a clip level is set for each piece of data prior to
chroma signal processing, the data are clipped to the particular set values when a minimum clip level is detected
for each of the four pieces of data.
Clip levels can be set using the following parameters. The function can be turned off by setting CLSOFF to 1[h].
