By increasing the magnification, it will become easier for peaking to attach to those portions that are difficult for edges to attach because of a small difference in brightness.

In this case, however, peaking will attach even to the noise elements in the image. Therefore, a clear peaking can be realized by using this feature in conjunction with the preceding feature described under ④ NOISE SUP.

The setting values that can be selected are “×1”(OFF), “×2”, “×4”, and “×8”.

Coring Level Coring Level Edges below the Coring Level will be cut off.

It should be remembered, however, that some weak elements normally attached to the image elements will also be cut off.

The setting value is a value between "0" and "9".

The default value is "5".

* Setting [NOISESUP] on a FUNCTION switch will enable switching of the Coring Level between "0" and "9".
* When the peaking color is set to a color other than "White" in ⑨, the NOISE SUP function does not work. The characteristic becomes the same as the set value "0".

⑥ COLOR PEAKING

The color for peaking can be selected among "White", "Yellow", "Green", "Red", and "Blue".

The default value is "White".

* Functions and characteristic of the peaking color is limited by colors.

  • In case the color is "White", the variable peaking amount becomes 128 tones. In case of other colors, it becomes 64 tones. The minimum and maximum values are the same.
  • When the color is other than "White", the ④ NOISE SUP function does not work.

⑦ ZOOM UP PEAKING

When Peaking is "ON", the ON/OFF setting for the function of varying the Peaking amount in conjunction with the zoom position of the camera is carried out here.

* Patent registered

6-5. Video-MAG. function

The input images are magnified to x2, x4, and x8. The section to be magnified can be selected from the center, top, bottom, left, right, upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right. Because of this function, the visibility of pixels improves even in a high-resolution LCD, and confirmation of focusing becomes easier.

6-6. Peaking function

(1) Edge width

The setting value is 1 (thin) \~ 4 (thick).

(2) NOISE SUP

This is a function for cutting off the edges below the specified threshold value in the edge elements of images. In other words, this function eliminates the edge elements attached to the noise elements in images.

(3) PEAKING UP

The amplification of peaking level can be set on x1, x2, x4, and x8 according to the difference of luminance. The peaking will be effect for the pixels whose difference of luminance is low.

(4) ZOOM UP PEAKING

The peaking amount can be variable by being linked with zoom position. The peaking amount will be maximum in tele-end and minimum in tele-wide.

(5) COLOR PEAKING

This function adds the color on the edge of video when the peaking setting is ON. It will be easy to get the fine focusing.

6-7. Touch Sensor Function

When a FUNCTION switch is touched, it immediately detects and displays the function name of the touched switch on the screen. Because of this function, functions allocated to FUNCTION switches and the configuration becomes easy to recognize. Hiding the touch sensor function name is also possible by the menu.

* Patent pending

6-8. Screen Saver Function

When no operation is conducted, or the same image is displayed for a certain period, the screen can be turned off automatically. Because of this function, the screen can be protected from image burn-in, and the lifetime of the LCD can be extended.

6-9. Screen Off Function

With the screen OFF function allocated to a FUNCTION switch, the screen can be turned off if not used for a certain period. Because of this function, the screen can be protected from image burn-in, and the lifetime of the LCD can be extended.

7. Applicable Standards

7-1. Radio noise

·FCC Class-A

·EN55032 Class-A

·EN55103-2 E4
