V Detail
This is similar to the above H Detail but increases the sharpness of horizontal lines in an image.
Detail Band
This adjusts the frequency at which the detail correction circuitry in the camera operates.
White Clip
This adjusts the white clipping level of the camera output. Must be adjusted while viewing the camera
output on a waveform monitor.
Aspect
This adjusts the aspect ratio of the picture. Usually only 16x9 or 4x3 are available when using a camera in
SD mode.
Format
With some cameras it is possible to remotely set the video format of the camera. Where possible this can
be done from this menu.
H Phase
This will adjust the horizontal timing of the camera signal with respect to a genlock video reference signal.
Note that ‘Timing’ must be enabled in the Setup menu for this adjustment to work.
Col Phase
The adjustment of colour phase will only be available for SD cameras. It is a coarse correction and usually
changes in 90deg or 180 degree steps.
Fine Phase
This provides the fine adjustment of colour subcarrier phase for SD cameras with composite outputs.
Abs/Rel
The default here is always Abs (Absolute) with Rel (Relative) being the alternative. It affects the way in
which the four control knobs adjust the camera colours, master black and iris. In absolute mode the knobs
send an absolute value to the camera (shown briefly on the LCD display). With relative mode selected
only increase or decrease commands are sent. This can be useful in a setup where more than one RCP
has control of a particular camera. By using ‘Relative’ mode sudden ‘jumps’ in colour or exposure are
avoided when adjusting from different RCP’s.
Auto Setup
Some cameras provide the option of performing a ‘Full Auto Setup’ where the camera performs a full
check on all it’s internal adjustments. This can be started from this menu.
Iris Mode
For cameras with ENG lenses this will always be set to ‘Normal’. For cameras which use a small DC
motor to drive the iris of a lens which does not have it’s own motor drive, this can be set to provide either a
direct drive for the motor from the Interface Box, or a positional DC output voltage which can drive a servo
amplifier to provide full positional iris control. It will mostly be used for 3D setups which use DC motors to
drive the lens iris
.
Masking
Depending on the camera type this can choose different preset Masking (or Matrix) values for a camera. It
can also usually switch Masking off completely so that the difference is easily visible.
