Image sharpness
You can reduce (soften) or increase (sharpen) the object's focus using this slider.
"Fine adjustment" allows you to set how sharp surfaces or edges should appear. Using
it, you can effectively decrease persistent image deficits.
Anti-flickering filter intensity: The anti-flickering filter affects only still images. It is
especially intended for zooms in images with many edges and transitions with high
contrast (e.g. fences, bars, brick walls). High-frequency images such as these begin to
flicker when they are reduced in size. This filter smoothes these edges somewhat.
You should set the intensity of the anti-flickering filter according to your preferences,
because smoothing is always a compromise between good contrast and fluid image
sequence during playback..

TV cropping
This option provides optimal adjustment of the image size for a real television screen
(anti-cropping). Without this adjustment, the screen could cut off edges of the image
in some cases.
Show TV screen area in preview monitor: This option displays the image borders of
the television as lines in the preview monitor. The four image borders of the TV area
may be specified via the four input fields. Of course, the real size of the TV image
must be familiar for this. The following process is available to determine this:
The four input fields also enable the borders of the four sides to be adjusted freely in
percent. In this case, the best approach is to determine a balance between reduction,
bar formation, and the image section:
If all four edges feature the same value, then the image will be reduced
proportionately. In this case no distortions will occur, but there will be bars along
the edges.
If different values are entered for the 4 fields, the image size is reduced
disproportionately. This will distort the image.
Apply border range to: With this option, the entered values for the four borders are
applied as an image reduction. The result may be checked immediately in the preview
monitor.
