Peaking Filter (Focus assist)
The Peaking Filter is used to aid the camera operator in obtaining the sharpest possible picture. When activated, all
color will be removed from the display and a black-and-white image will remain. The internal processor will display
RED color on the screen where sharp edges appear. When the camera operator adjusts (racks) the focus control (on
the camera lens), different parts of the image will have RED colored edges. This indicates that the portion of the image
is sharp – or in focus. Final focus is achieved by racking the camera lens focus control back and forth until the desired
portion of the image has RED colored edges. Please note that this feature is most effective when the subject is
properly exposed and contains enough contrast to be processed.

Mos
quito Filter
Use this setting to filter out “Mosquito Noise” – an artifact that appears as specs around edges of objects. This artifact
is the result of video that has been compressed at some point. Video sources from DVD-Players, PDA’s, Digital Cable
Boxes, Camcorders, etc. often have this artifact.
