PICTURE
This menu features the adjustments related to picture quality.
Adjustments that are not available for a specific input will not be
displayed on the menu. Table 3 summarises the adjustments
available for each input.
BRIGHTNESS
Use this control to adjust the darker areas of the picture (black
level), without significantly affecting bright areas. For correct adju
-
stment it may prove useful to display a grey scale with at least
twenty bands.
Now try to reduce the brightness of the black band as much as possi
-
ble while ensuring that it can still be distinguished from the adjacent
band with brightness slightly higher than black. Alternatively use a
scene composed of black objects alongside other dark coloured
objects and try to keep all the objects separately identifiable.
CONTRAST
Use this control to adjust the brighter areas of the image (white
level), without significantly affecting dark areas. For correct adju
-
stment it may prove useful to display a grey scale with at least
twenty bands.
Now try to increase the brightness of the white band as much as
possible while ensuring that it can still be distinguished from the
adjacent band with brightness slightly less than white. Alternatively
use a scene composed of well-lit white objects surrounded by light
coloured objects with lower level lighting, and try to ensure that all
the objects remain separately identifiable.
COLOUR
This control (also called Saturation) increases or decreases the
picture colour intensity. When set to zero, colour images will be
shown in black and white. Increasing the value, try to find the point
at which the colours look natural: suitable references include skin
tones and grass in landscape shots.
TINT
Controls the purity of colours. Basically determines the red-green
ratio of the picture.
Reducing the value will boost the red contents of the picture, in
-
creasing it will boost the green tones. For this adjustment use skin
tones or a test image with colour bars as a reference.
SHARPNESS
Use this adjustment to increase or decrease the level of picture de-
tail. When the sharpness value is reduced the image details appear
